Product Snapshot
Overview
The Hisense A4 TV is a budget-level full HD TV that was first released back in early 2022, and it boasts a VA panel for high contrast and deep black levels.
Unlike some of the best TVs available in the market today, it only features a 60Hz non-VRR panel. And as for the I/O, it boasts two HDMI ports with ARC, but none of them are HDMI 2.1. Other ports include an ethernet and a 3.5 mm jack, an optical audio port, and a USB port.
The A4 sadly lacks advanced gaming features like variable refresh rate support and ALLM. And it does not have a good upscaling chip for lower than 1080P content.
Consensus
our Verdict
Despite its poor peak brightness, the Hisense A4 TV is a good option for those looking for a small Full HD TV on a strict budget. It only features two HDMI ports, and none of them are HDMI 2.1. And it has excellent black levels and contrast ratio, which is great for dark room viewing.
It also features a matte coating on the screen to diffuse reflections, which works fairly well. However, its measured response time and input lags are extremely high, which hurts the gaming experience.
And it does not have a local dimming feature to boost the contrast or HDR.
The Hisense A4 TV only has a 1080P resolution and lacks a good upscaling chip. But it does come with a remote that features a built-in microphone.
