[Walmart] Hisense U6GR - 55" - $698 ($648 BF) | 4K - Local Dimming - HDR10/Dolby Vision/Dolby Atmos - HDMI 2.1/eARC/VRR - Roku TV

This TV seems to be pretty good value for money considering its deep feature list.
It is however only a 60Hz panel and not 120Hz.

It is a new Roku TV version of the U6G that launched in October 2021.

It has a lot modern features including Local Dimming, HDR10 - Dolby Vision - Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.1/eARC/VRR etc and it runs Roku TV OS instead of Android on the U6G.

I picked one up and it is a huge upgrade over our 5 year old Samsung 4K TV which recently started to experience panel issues where patches of the screen are slowing going purple.

Hisense U6GR Product Page

Edit: Forgot to mention the U6G is available on Amazon.ca for $749 so this is $50 cheaper and is a newer version with more features. Walmart seems to be the only retailer in Canada with this model at the moment, very hard to find.

Edit 2: Looks like it will be $648 as of Nov 17th for the early Black Friday sale (thanks! booyahchild01). I was able to get a price adjustment even before the sale started. YMMV.

Excellent reviews for the U6G series (except for poor viewing angles), this may not be as highly rated as the 55U68G though.

https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/hisen ... %20content.

"Hisense has released a variant of this TV, known as the Hisense U6GR or Hisense U6GR5. It's a completely different TV, with more advanced gaming features, including variable refresh rate support. It also runs the Roku smart interface instead of Android TV. We don't expect our results here to be valid for the U6GR."

Wait until November 15. The price will be $479.99 at Costco.

Is the only difference between this and the U6G Roku vs Android? Which is considered the better OS?

It seems that this offer is for US, as it's on costco.com
Or I'm missing something?

Looks like those are deals from US Costco, would be awesome if they would be the same for us.

Won't be the same price but could be a deal @ Costco. The problem is the TV is not even listed on Costco.ca at the moment--neither the U6G or U6GR. Not to say it won't just pop up there as is how Costblo rolls (items appearing and disappearing at random) but as of right now they don't carry this model.

Where is it stated this TV has VRR? Not saying it doesn't but I can't find mention of this and Rtings specifically states the U6G (Android version) does NOT have VRR and eARC. I see Hisense says the U6GR has eARC, but I don't see VRR mentioned anywhere?

This isn't on sale right? Just an unusual find?

I guess it's hard to find local dimming at this price point?

If memory serves, the U6 is the American version and U68 is the Canadian version. I think that's how Hisense does it.

I'm not sure why they would put a HDMI 2.1 port on a TV if it didn't support 4K@120hz. It's a bit like a spoiler on a Cavalier.

It might be possible that the panel can be overclocked, but it's not something I found when I was doing my research. If it can be overclocked to use the HDMI 2.1 port then it would be a pretty good deal since it's hard to find any 120hz TV's under $1000, even 55" models.

I dunno it also says "on supported models" so this may just be generic text. If it had VRR wouldn't that be one of the major advertised features? How would they advertise a barely-feature like ALLM as a big deal and not even mention VRR?

Walmart shows it at 722 for me...so it seems amazon one include eco fee and not walmart...so it's only $27 difference....

Which feature(s) this model has that the one on amazon doesn't have ?
