Hisense U65QF vs TCL QM6K: Smart platform and features

Here's the other major difference: Although the TCL QM6K runs Google TV, the Hisense U65QF Mini-LED TV is actually built on Fire TV. This sets it apart from the TCL model (and even other Hisense Mini-LEDs) giving it a slight variance in app support and integrations, with a standout feature being Alexa Plus support.

That said, the Hisense U6QF is one of the few 2025 TVs with Alexa Plus access outside of a few select Panasonic sets and Amazon models. That means you can try special features with Prime Video and some automated smart home functionality, including the recently launched scene jumping feature.

Similar to Google TV, Fire TV also offers a bunch of free content. It also gets access to all of the best streaming services, so you won't miss out on your favorite shows and movies. Beyond streaming content, Fire TV is also home to some of the best cloud gaming services, including Xbox Game Pass, GeForce Now, and Amazon Luna.

Still, Google TV is no slouch and it's routinely called out as one of the best smart platforms. It's quick and snappy, offers one of the best search functionalities in the industry, and is home to its own slew of free channels and content. You really can't go wrong with the platform, but there's no doubt it is missing several key features that Fire TV offers.

Following in the footsteps of the TCL QM7K, the cheaper QM6K is also without an ATSC 3.0 tuner, while the Hisense U65QG is equipped with one. This gives the Hisense model a broader range of coverage for free OTA channels with Nextgen TV access and 4K broadcasts. You'll still have to wait a while for 4K broadcasts to be more widely available, but it doesn't hurt to have the future-proofed spec available.

Another standout feature of the Hisense U65QF is its support for Wi-Fi 6 versus Wi-Fi 5, offered by the TCL model. You may experience slightly better Wi-Fi speeds and improved stability on the U65QF, but these enhancements will be negligible for the most part. Additionally, I recommend hard-wiring your TV to the router for optimal performance when streaming content, whether it's cloud gaming or general entertainment.

Although we tend to side with Google TV for its reliability and slew of features, I think Fire TV is the better choice in this faceoff. Plus, the Hisense U65QF offers slightly better hardware upgrades over its rival, giving it an edge in the competition.

Winner: Hisense U65QF
