The Hisense U6G looks like a bit of a mix of the Hisense H8G and the Hisense H6570G. The modern design has thin bezels on three sides and slim feet that require a wide table, but they aren't the most solid.

The Hisense U6G has a very similar stand to the Hisense H6570G. They're not the most solid, though, as the TV wobbles a bit. There are about three inches between the table and the bottom of the TV, so you can put most soundbars without blocking the screen.

The back of the TV is very similar to the Hisense H8G. It's a mix of metal and plastic, but the metal portion feels cheap. There's a track near the bottom of the TV for cable management. As most of the common inputs are side-facing, they're easy to reach with the TV wall-mounted, but some of the other inputs are harder to get to because they're back-facing.

Overall, the Hisense U6G Series has decent build quality. It's mostly plastic with some metal on the back panel, but the metal portion feels thin and flexes a bit. The feet aren't the most solid, and the TV wobbles a bit, but it's not a concern if you just place the TV on a table and leave it there.

The Hisense U6G has okay peak brightness in HDR. Small specular highlights don't stand out as well as they should, but most highlights are bright enough to deliver an okay HDR experience. Unfortunately, like the Hisense U8G, most scenes are displayed brighter than they should be. It isn't very noticeable in person unless you're comparing it with a more accurate display, but the U6G looks slightly washed out in some scenes. The EOTF has a slow roll-off at the peak brightness, so you don't lose details in really bright scenes.

If you prefer a brighter image over an accurate one, setting the Color Temperature to 'Medium' results in a slightly brighter image, as shown in this EOTF. It makes the screen appear a bit brighter, but it doesn't change the peak luminosity.

The Hisense U6G Series has great peak brightness in SDR. There's some variation in peak brightness with different scenes, which is caused by its Automatic Brightness Limiter, so large areas are dimmer. Also, small areas are more dim due to the local dimming feature. Still, it gets bright enough with real content to fight glare in well-lit rooms.

These measurements are from after calibration in the 'Theater Night' Picture Mode with the Backlight set to 'Max' and Local Dimming to 'High'. These settings result in the brightest and most accurate image.

The Hisense U6G has a great color gamut, almost as good as the Hisense U8G. It can display nearly all of the DCI P3 color space, which is used by most current HDR content, meaning it displays the necessary colors for most current HDR movies. Coverage of the wider Rec. 2020 color space isn't as good, so it's not future-proof as more and more movies will come out with this color space. It can't display all the colors needed, so you won't get to see some vivid colors that the creator intended to show.

The Hisense U6 has very good color volume. Thanks to the high contrast ratio, it displays dark, saturated colors well. It can't fill the full DCI P3 color gamut, and pure blues aren't as bright as pure white, but this is normal for LCDs.

Out of the box, the TV has decent accuracy. Gamma doesn't quite follow the 2.2 target for a bright room, as most scenes are brighter than they should be. The white balance isn't accurate, and the color temperature is a bit warm, giving everything a reddish tint. Most colors are okay, but if you easily notice inaccurate colors, this will bother you.

The Hisense U6G Series has remarkable accuracy after calibration. The white balance and gamma are nearly perfect, and the color temperature is extremely close to our target of 6500K, so the image doesn't have a warm tint. Most colors are displayed accurately, with the exception of pure blue, which didn't get more accurate.

The black uniformity is outstanding. With the local dimming feature disabled, there's clouding throughout, the screen looks a bit blue, and enabling local dimming results in better uniformity as the screen is more black. There's some blooming around the center cross, but the blooming isn't always visible across different content, and it's not too distracting.

Unfortunately, the image degrades when viewed at an angle, which is normal for a VA panel. Moving even slightly off-center causes colors to washout and gamma to shift. This means it's not a good choice for a wide seating area. If you have a wide seating arrangement, an IPS-type panel like the LG NANO90 2021 is a better choice.

Update 12/3/2021: We rechecked the reflection handling on this TV. Unfortunately, this TV has worse reflection handling than originally measured. The new results are more consistent with other similar TVs, including the Hisense U6GR.

The Hisense U6G Series has decent reflection handling. The semi-gloss finish reduces the intensity of direct reflections without causing them to smear across the display. Bright, direct reflections can still be distracting, though, so it's not perfect. Still, combined with its great peak brightness, you won't have issues using it in most well-lit rooms.
