Hisense A6K is one of those televisions very much in the mid-range that satisfies the vast majority of the target market and that will be one of the best sellers among those who bet on less commercial brands.<\/p>\n

Design and connectivity<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

borderless panel<\/p>\n

We are before a quite nice television seen from the front.\u00a0The panel is not embraced by frames but\u00a0rests on a black metal plate\u00a0(to match the rest of the television parts).\u00a0Around it are lines of only 3mm on the sides above and 15.7mm on the bottom bezel.\u00a0The panel has rounded corners and its finish is very comfortable to look at.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Although the board is very thin, when we add the case this changes, leaving a panel of\u00a0834 x 1452 x 74 mm\u00a0that weighs\u00a016.5 kg\u00a0.\u00a0To place it on your wall mounting a device compatible with\u00a0VESA in 400 x 300 mm\u00a0.<\/p>\n

As for your stand, it is a pair of legs made of plastic that, as we can see, do not have the best finish.\u00a0They are simple pieces, weighing 100 grams each.\u00a0The good thing is that they are very short, so they do not make the panel unstable.\u00a0With them, the Hisense 65A6K measures\u00a0896 x 1452 x 300mm\u00a0and weighs\u00a016.7kg\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Tuning and connectivity<\/h3>\n

As\u00a0Hisense\u00a0has been doing in many models already, the one that concerns us today\u00a0lacks an analogue system\u00a0.\u00a0It does have digital, in\u00a0DVB-S2\/T2\/C, CI+ ECP and HbbTV 2.0.3\u00a0.<\/p>\n

This is made possible with\u00a0two antenna plugs\u00a0as well as a\u00a0corresponding\u00a0slot for the\u00a0Common Interface\u00a0.\u00a0To complete the physical connectivity, the firm adds the\u00a0RJ 45\u00a0input for Ethernet,\u00a0optical digital audio output, a 3.5 mm jack, L\/R audio output, three HDMI 2.0 and 2 USB 2.0\u00a0.\u00a0In the following image you can see everything and its arrangement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Physical connections housed on the side<\/p>\n

We do not end here, as the model also has wireless connections.\u00a0They are a bluetooth\u00a0system\u00a0in version\u00a04.2 and dual band WiFI\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Image quality<\/h2>\n

For TV, a different panel is mounted than usual, a\u00a065-inch ADS\u00a0.\u00a0Its resolution is\u00a0Ultra High Definition\u00a0.\u00a0The backlight is\u00a0Direct Full Array\u00a0to achieve greater uniformity in lighting.\u00a0The brightness is\u00a0300 nits\u00a0and its static contrast is at a ratio of\u00a01200:1\u00a0.<\/p>\n

As for the color, this has a depth of\u00a08 real bits\u00a0and allows a falsification of another pair.\u00a0The matrix is \u200b\u200btotal, 30 bits.\u00a0Likewise, the television manages to work with\u00a0Wide Color Gamut\u00a0to reflect many more colors through a successful optical system.<\/p>\n

AI Adaptive Depth\u00a0is a system of layers that an artificial intelligence is responsible for designing based on each image to make scenes as deep as the landscape they represent.<\/p>\n

Pixel Tuning\u00a0offers dynamic refinement to bring sharpness and richness to all layers, not just those images that are closest and without discerning between bright and dark either.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hisense 65A6K AI work<\/p>\n

The support for HDR offered by this TV goes through\u00a0Dolby Vision, HLG, HDR 10 and\u00a0HDR 10+\u00a0.<\/p>\n

We have a normal refresh rate of\u00a0up to 60 Hz\u00a0.\u00a0The good thing is that Hisense has introduced a system to create smooth but blur-free images with\u00a0Smooth Motion\u00a0while seasoning the refresh rate with\u00a0Motion Rate\u00a0, yes, in only 120 units.<\/p>\n

Audio<\/h2>\n

Our television does not fail in terms of power, offering the classic\u00a020 W RMS\u00a0spread over two full-range speakers.<\/p>\n

It features DTX Virtual HD audio technology\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0special\u00a0Dolby Digital MS12 and NICAM Stereo\u00a0sound .<\/p>\n

As in the case of all Hisense televisions, we are also provided with a\u00a0basic equalizer\u00a0.<\/p>\n

VIDAA U 6 main interface<\/p>\n

It will be rare that in 2023 models you will see a Hisense television that does not mount\u00a0VIDAA U6\u00a0, which is the latest version of the brand’s OS.<\/p>\n

You will be delighted to know that, like more reputable brands, this one also has free content in what they call\u00a0VIDAA Free\u00a0;\u00a0Here you will be able to see everything at no cost at any time.<\/p>\n

Another novelty that we see in the latest VIDAAA U updates is\u00a0VIDAA art\u00a0.\u00a0It is a function that will allow you to view beautiful images on TV when you are not using it.<\/p>\n

With the\u00a0search engine\u00a0you can have quick access to all the content already available on your TV.\u00a0In addition, you have the\u00a0Odin browser\u00a0to enter the Internet and see or download what you have not yet saved (or you are not interested in it or cannot save it, of course).\u00a0Another way to find specific things is by using VIDAA U voice to search and request your\u00a0Alexa voice assistant\u00a0.<\/p>\n

In another order of things, you have mirroring to the television to be able to multiply your entertainment options.\u00a0You can either mirror the entire screen with\u00a0Screen Sharing\u00a0or just the content you like using the\u00a0Content Sharing\u00a0option ;\u00a0As you can see, it is something quite intuitive.<\/p>\n

Personalize your television and finish shaping each experience with the\u00a0smartphone app, sports or game modes, MHEG support, parental control, EPG guide, software store, list of preferred channels, channel ordering.<\/p>\n
