If you're on a tight budget, the Hisense A4H will save you money, but it does not perform well overall, especially in dark or bright rooms, nor for gaming or watching sports. By contrast, the Samsung Q70A costs more, but offers good overall picture quality, including better performance in bright rooms and for gaming. If watching movies and sports, playing games, or using the TV in various lighting conditions is important to you, and you don't mind spending more, the Samsung Q70A would provide a significantly better experience. Conversely, if saving money is your primary concern and your viewing demands are modest, the Hisense A4H could suffice. Give Feedback
