Product Information

The direct-lit VA panel delivers decent contrast and screen uniformity, despite the lack of local dimming, but its optimal viewing angles are narrow. The apps appear along the centre of the home screen, and above this is content related to the app currently highlighted. As you would expect from a modern TV, the slim chassis precludes the use of larger speakers, and the amplification is clearly limited.

This is fairly common with 4,000 and 10,000 nits content, but the A6G was also clipping images graded at 1,000 nits.

There’s also a decent selection of content streaming apps, plus Freeview Play, ensuring a full complement of TV catch-up services. The A6G runs the latest version of the VIDAA U smart platform and supports HDR10, Dolby Vision and HLG.

Hisense has included Dolby Vision support, and it’s with less capable displays like the A6G’s that the format’s dynamic metadata really shows its benefits. The TV ships in Standard mode for SDR, which like most out-of-the-box settings is woefully inaccurate compared to the industry standards. It also has a quad-core processor providing sufficient power to ensure a responsive user experience. The limited colour gamut still looks suitably punchy, and only the mediocre tone-mapping disappoints, producing a tendency to clip highlights. Roku TV Ready: As Roku TV Ready device, the Hisense HS214 All-in-one Soundbar is fully compatible with any Roku Tv through the HDMI (ARC) connection.Thankfully the Cinema Night mode immediately addresses these inaccuracies, with an excellent greyscale performance and an average DeltaE colour variance score of 1.
