If you're on a budget and are looking for a larger screen, the Hisense A65K could be the right pick as it is less expensive and offers a 43" display. However, the Samsung Q60A has better overall picture quality, brightness, contrast, and performs well in bright rooms, which may justify its higher price if you prioritize these aspects, especially if you often watch in well-lit environments. The Q60A is also better for varied content including news and cartoons. If gaming is not a priority and you don't need a wide viewing angle, either could suit your basic TV watching needs; but for superior picture and performance in different lighting conditions, the Samsung might be preferable.

"The A65K proved to be a rather capable TV that works great within its extreme limitations that its price dictates. It has great contrast, very low input lag and good color coverage. Add Google TV and a low price in the mix and you have an excellent low budget offering."
"The least expensive QLED is a solid choice for Samsung fans. Right out of the gate my eye was drawn to the Samsung. It is bright. The quantum dots let the Q60A produce far deeper, richer colors than the Vizio and TCL"
