Is the Hisense A6Q 4K TV worth it?
Yes — for a cheap everyday TV, with a soundbar.
It covers the basics well for very little: a sharp 4K picture with Dolby Vision, Freely for live channels without an aerial, and three HDMI 2.1 ports. Verified owners mostly love the picture for the price and how easy it is to set up. The speakers are its weak point: thin, tinny sound is by far the commonest complaint, so budget for a soundbar. It's a 60Hz set, not one for fast gaming. No independent review we could read has tested it.

More on the Hisense A6Q
How we reached this verdict
1,534 of the 1,579 verified Currys-pool owners (mostly AO and Currys buyers) rate it 4 or 5 stars, most often for the picture for the money and the easy setup; the unhappy ones mostly blame the tinny speakers. Hisense UK's spec sheet lists 4K with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, a 60Hz panel, three HDMI 2.1 ports (one eARC), 2 × 10W speakers and the VIDAA system. No independent review we could read has tested it, so this verdict rests on owners and the spec sheet. The E6Q sold at Amazon UK is part of the same range.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
