If you're on a budget, the Hisense A4H could save you money, and it's decent for everyday content like news or cartoons, with good gray uniformity and as a monitor. However, it has poor performance across most other important aspects, particularly in overall picture quality, gaming, and both dark and bright rooms. On the other hand, the Samsung Q80C costs more but offers significantly better performance for gaming, with best in class input lag and very good motion processing. It also has better sound quality, more HDMI ports, and supports advanced features like Dolby Atmos and a variety of HDR formats which enhance movie watching. Choose the Hisense for cost savings and basic use, or the Samsung if you want higher performance for gaming, movies, and use in varying lighting conditions. Give Feedback
