PCMag Review: Hisense U6SF Pro Series Delivers Strong Brightness and Low Input Lag for Budget Gaming
In a lab evaluation of the Hisense U6SF Pro mini-LED TV (tested on the 65-inch model), PCMag awarded the lineup an Editors' Choice distinction for budget displays. The reviewer measured peak brightness reaching 1,442 nits on an 18% white field and exceptionally low gaming latency of 4.6ms at 1080p120. While well-suited for gamers and bright rooms, the display suffers from noticeable light bloom past 30-degree angles, lacks an ATSC 3.0 broadcast tuner, and runs an ad-heavy Fire TV interface.

AI brief
From the source report
The Hisense U6SF Pro may be worth considering if you want a bright TV with responsive gaming features at a budget-oriented price. PCMag tested the 65-inch model, not the 100-inch version, and says the larger model has the same features but only expects similar performance.
Best suited for Buyers seeking a bright TV with gaming features; PCMag says owners of an unsatisfactory budget TV may find it an upgrade, while U65QF owners who do not game heavily may see little benefit.
Highlights
PCMag measured 1,442 nits at an 18% white field on the tested 65-inch model, which may suit rooms or viewing times when extra brightness is useful.
Its tested input lag was 4.6 milliseconds with a 1080p120 signal and 9.2ms with a 4K60 signal, which may appeal to gaming-focused buyers.
The TV supports a 144Hz native refresh rate, VRR, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro.
Before you buy
PCMag's review testing was performed on the 65-inch 65U6SF Pro; its expectations for the 100-inch model are not based on testing that size.
PCMag observed light bloom around high-contrast edges, especially when viewing bright objects off-center.
The review says the TV lacks an ATSC 3.0 tuner and hands-free voice controls; voice control requires pressing the remote button.
The Fire TV interface is described as ad-heavy and potentially cluttered.
