Most Hisense TVs use Android/Google TV platform, but this is using Amazon's Fire TV operating system. Whether or not that is a plus or a minus probably depends on each individual's personal preference. I honestly would prefer just about anything else except for Vizio's janky Smartcast OS. It's not that I really have a problem with Fire TV OS itself, it's really more of the shenanigans that Amazon tries to pull, like full screen ads that randomly pop up and cannot be disabled. They also like to place pre-roll ads in their Prime Video originals, they can be skipped but why should we have to deal with that for a *PAID* service? Dear Amazon, please just stop. You are embarrassing yourself with your overaggressive need to milk us for additional ad revenue.
At least you can basically now get all the major apps from the Fire TV appstore, in the past, there were issues with YouTube, YouTube TV, and HBOMax. They could always disappear again though, since Google and Amazon have been fighting about this type of stuff for years. Currently the two are playing nice together, but you never know what might happen in the future. It would probably be possible to sideload the Android TV apps, since Fire TV is the same basic OS under the hood.
For people who have a PS5 or Xbox Series console, this TV does support auto low latency mode and VRR, but you need to update the TV out of the box for VRR to work. It works automatically after the update, just enable it on your console and your will be good to go. PS5 games look really great on this TV, just like shows and movies do. I am impressed with the kind of picture quality and HDR performance that you can buy at this price point in 2022. Ultimately though, if there ends up being an Android TV version of this same TV available, I think I would recommend that instead (because of the annoying things about Fire OS). Unless you are just a huge Alexa fan and you are already invested into Amazon's hardware ecosystem. You can do things like control this TV using an Echo smart speaker. I don't know how useful that is a specific individual but it is an option. This TV does also support HomeKit, so you can AirPlay content from an iPhone/iPad and control basic things from within the Home app on iOS and MacOS.
Pros+
Great panel with really good peak brightness, HDR content and games look awesome
Good contrast ratio and wide color gamut, quantum dot colors
VRR and Auto Low Latency Mode makes this a good option for PS5 and Xbox Series S/X owners
Alexa and Homekit integration
Relatively affordable for less than $550
Cons-
Fire OS is not my favorite because they like to sneak in Ads that can't be disabled, sometimes full screen ads instead of the screensaver (even if you have set up everything properly and turned off the advertising settings

I just wanted to come back and clear a few things up since my initial review:
PRICING
-First off, I had mentioned that the Google (50U6G1) version of this same TV was $130 cheaper. However, since then, the price has dropped for this TV -- by $130. When I got this TV, it was $529 and the Google TV version was $399, which was confusing. However, this TV has now dropped to $399 to match the Google TV version (Kudos to Amazon/Hisense for doing this). I was never quite sure why the Fire TV version was so much more, so good move. BTW, there also is an Android version (50U6G), which is only $348 but it does not include Google TV or Fire TV. At $399, this is a great deal and a no-brainer at this price point. I also want to mention that between the two other models (50U6G1 and 50U6G), the Google TV version (with the "1" at the end of the model No.) has a two-year warranty, while the other (Android) version only has a one-year warranty. This particular model I am reviewing (50U6HF) has a two-year warranty as well. ...
YOU GET A STAR!
-Second, I am bumping it up one star for two reasons. First off, one of the main issues I had before was the Dirty Screen Effects (DSE), but that has mostly gone away after nearly a week. But if you do have DSE, the best way to deal with it is to turn off the TV for around 30 seconds and turn it back on. Also, the effect will be much less noticeable if you turn down "Local Dimming" and "Local Contrast Enhancement." while not watching movies/TV shows. I also use this TV as a PC monitor so I keep my dimming and contrast settings on low to medium, which works best for me. YMMV.
The other reason for giving this TV another star in this review is because of the pricing mentioned in my first bullet point. At $399, this is an awesome value. Again, this also comes with a two-year warranty, which gives some peace of mind.
---------------------ORIGINAL REVIEW on June 11, 2022-----------------------------
This one is odd. Some of the features of this Hisense TV are incredible, and at first, it seems to be a great value. However, some features (or lack thereof) are plain head-scratchers, and upon further investigation, the value may not be as great as it appears. I will try to explain. I'll mix the good with the bad here ...
-THE PICTURE IS AMAZING ...
When I first got this TV, I was blown away by the level of contrast I was able to obtain without light bleeding into darker areas. I was also very impressed with the vividness of the reds, blues and greens. They are really getting VERY close to OLED with these QLED TVs in terms of saturation and contrast. Finally, the 600 nits of brightness is incredible for this price point. The screen can be beautiful at times, and very bright. Furthermore, the matte covering is good at diminishing reflected light.
... EXCEPT WHEN IT ISN"T
And while enhanced features such as local dimming and local contrast enhancement look good while watching content, be aware of (DSE) Dirty Screen Effect artifacting. This is phenomenon in which certain areas of the screen will be darker than others and is extremely noticeable when one color, especially gray, is shown on the screen. This was a very noticeable issue when I first go the TV, but usually powering off he TV, unplugging it for 30 seconds, and then plugging it back in resolves the issue.
-GREAT FOR GAMING
I have a gaming PC and an XBox Series X plugged into this and games look much better than my previous TV, a TCL Roku TV. The colors are brighter, contrast is better and HDR looks outstanding. The variable refresh rate is also a nice feature that allows the TVs refresh rate to match the game's frame rate to prevent screen tearing and other issues. Latency is also very low in game mode.
-OO-OOH THAT SMELL
Ever heard of new TV smell? It wasn't something I was aware of until I bought my last TV and it was very noticeable on this TV. That new 'burnt electronic' smell lingered for several days. So much so that I had to burn some candles to mask it.
-INPUTS ARE LACKING.
First off, this is the first time I've ever bought a flat-panel TV with inputs on the left side. I've been purchasing flat-panel/digital TVs for 20 years and they've always been on the right side. Every. Time. This required me to have to repurchase all new (and longer) HDMI and optical audio cables for every input, and these cables are not cheap.
The eARC input is a nice touch and allows your TV to "communicate" with your audio device and control the volume, etc. As for HDMI, the website lists the specs at HDMI 2.1, however, my GPU sees it as HDMI 2.0, even though I have a very high bandwidth cable (and tested a few). I was never able to get a full 10-bit HDR and 4:4:4 chroma, so I have to believe these inputs are only 2.0. It even says so in the settings menu (see image).
TIP: If you want 4K video at 60Hz with HDR content, make sure you get HDMI cables that are rated for at least 18Gbps.
-SOUND ISN'T BAD
For a small, flat panel TV, the built-in speakers are some of the best I've heard in a TV. I don't usually use them -- I usually opt for a soundbar or receiver -- but I tested them out for this review and they sound very nice and would work great in a pinch, or if you don't have external speakers.
-LACKLUSTER REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control is basically just a Fire Stick remote. There are no numbers, no "last" button and no "input" button. Switching from one input to another requires at least three button pushes. The settings feature is very sluggish and can take between 300 ms to 2 full seconds to open on your screen.
-DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE 240.
Motion Enhancement option does not exist. They put the number 240 out there as a ploy. The panel refreshes at 60Hz, not 240, not 120. They just conveniently chose the number 240, which just so happens to be a dividend of (divisible by) 60 and is the refresh rate chosen by many top-name monitors and TVs. It's nothing more than a bogus marketing term. It means nothing. As a matter of fact, this model of TV doesn't even have a "motion enhancement" setting that many others have, which can interpolate and smooth out frames to give the effect of a higher refresh rate. Nope, nothing to see here, and that's very disappointing, especially if you're a gamer.
-POOR MENUS AND CUSTOMIZATION
I'm not a fan of the Fire TV interface. I really like Google Play and feel very limited by what can be done with Amazon. The "Talk to switch inputs" thing is overrated and underused. The lack of customization is especially annoying to me because I use mine in a home theater PC setup so the HDMI is connected to a PC. There is NO way to label the input as such. This has been an option on all my TVs going back to the mid 2000s. It's mindboggling that they didn't include "Computer" or "PC" as an input option -- or just allow you to manually name the input.
-OVERPRICED
There is another model. the 50U6G (look it up and compare) that is spec-for-spec identical to this TV except in one respect: It has Google TV compared with Fire TV. The other difference? It is currently $130 cheaper than this model. Here's the thing: You could buy that other model and a $40 Fire stick and have -- basically -- the exact same thing if that's what you want. However, I fail to see how Fire is worth any more than Google. I would say many people might actually prefer Google for its Play Store, which is the standard for Android-based operating systems. I really have no idea why this TV is priced so much higher -- maybe it's because it's newer? I don't know, but it's not worth the price difference and this is one of the reasons I am rating is so poorly.
-OVERALL IMPRESSIONS
I like this TV. It is missing some features I would like to have, but it also has a great picture. What troubles me is the price. If this were competitive with the Google TV version, I would give this at least 4 stars, I'd still deduct one star for some of the dirty screen effects and poor customization. I may come back and bump up my rating if the TV grows on me and some of the dirty screen effects go away; but for now, it's pretty average, so 3 stars it is.
