I just reviewed the Hisense U6SF Pro, and it's proof you don't need OLED money for a great TV

The Hisense U6SF Pro takes the affordable Mini-LED formula that's made the U6 series a sleeper hit and adds a brighter, glare-resistant screen and a built-in subwoofer that holds its own against far pricier options. It won't dethrone anything at the top of our best TV list, but for the price, it's tough to argue with.

I just reviewed the Hisense U6SF Pro, and it's proof you don't need OLED money for a great TV

This year, I've had the opportunity to spend time with a number of high-end TVs, with costs exceeding many individuals' monthly rent. Consequently, it's refreshing to review the Hisense U6SF Pro, a Mini-LED TV priced under $900 (around $600 during sales), which still exudes a premium feel. Hisense has steadily emerged as one of the leading budget TV manufacturers, and the U6SF Pro is a testament to their success.

The U6SF Pro falls just above the standard U6SF in Hisense's 2026 lineup, with enhancements such as a brighter, glare-resistant screen, a more robust speaker system, a native 144Hz panel ideal for gaming, and upgraded software features.

During my hands-on experience with the 65-inch model, I watched everything from high-end streaming dramas to World Cup highlights. By the end, I was thoroughly impressed by the U6SF Pro. It may not compete with the best OLED TVs in terms of picture performance, but given its price point, there's virtually no alternative like it.

Released in March 2026 as part of Hisense's U6 and U7 refresh lineup, the U6SF Pro is sold alongside the less expensive, non-Pro U6SF. Its pricing ranges from $849 for the 55-inch model, $1,099 for the 65-inch, $1,399 for the 75-inch, $1,999 for the 85-inch, and $3,499 for the 100-inch. The price drops during sales, with the 65-inch model experiencing discounts up to $500 shortly after its launch, making it a wise choice to wait for a sale if possible.

The U6SF Pro features a clean, minimalist design with slim bezels that integrate well into any room, though it's not as slim as models like the Samsung S85H. It stands roughly 2.5 inches deep, sitting flush against a wall without appearing bulky. Setting it up was straightforward, with sturdy dual feet preventing wobble and tipping over.

For those who prefer wall mounting, the U6SF Pro supports VESA wall mounting via a 400x300 mm mount. The TV offers four HDMI inputs, two of which are HDMI 2.1, which are sufficient for most users' 4K/120Hz console gaming and soundbar requirements. Other ports include a USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 port, Ethernet, optical digital audio out, and a coaxial antenna input.

Wireless connectivity is facilitated by WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. While its HDMI setup isn't as extensive as some other high-end models, it covers all the essentials for most users at this price point.
