Hey everyone.

I'm considering picking up the Hisense 65-Inch Class U6 Series Mini-LED ULED 4K UHD Google Smart TV (65U6N, 2024 Model) and would love to get your thoughts on it.

First off, how's the picture quality? The Mini-LED with Full Array Local Dimming and QLED Quantum Dot Color sounds impressive, but does it really deliver that level of detail and vibrancy? I'm particularly interested in how it performs in darker scenes and whether the HDR 10+ lives up to the hype.

When it comes to sound quality, I see it has Dolby Atmos. Does that actually enhance the viewing experience significantly, or is it more of a marketing gimmick? I want to feel immersed in what I’m watching!

Also, the gaming features like Game Mode Plus and Motion Rate 240 sound great for someone who enjoys gaming. Is there anything I should be wary of regarding lag or compatibility issues with consoles?

Lastly, I'd love to know if there are any potential downsides or quirks to this model that I should be aware of before making a purchase.

Thanks for your insights!
