If you're looking for a more affordable option, the Vizio D-Series '22 might be appealing due to its lower cost. However, the Hisense A65K, despite being more expensive, offers better colors out of the box, has support for advanced HDR formats like Dolby Vision and HDR10+, which enhance the picture quality of compatible content, and it has more HDMI ports which could be useful for connecting multiple devices. The Vizio might be a better choice for viewing in bright rooms as it has a higher reflections score, but its performance in other areas such as color accuracy and HDR support is not as good as the Hisense. Depending on the importance of price versus the latest features and connectivity, you can choose the Vizio for its cost-effectiveness or the Hisense for its better overall feature set. Give Feedback

Stratos Kampourogiannis | September 2023
"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."

About Hisense

Hisense, a Chinese TV manufacturer, entered the US market in approximately 2011 and has since acquired TV divisions from various companies such as Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, and NEC. Currently ranking as the fourth largest vendor in terms of sales volume, Hisense aims to capture a wide range of TV budget segments. They offer exceptional value with TVs that often outperform their competitors at similar price points, making them a compelling choice for consumers. In the US, they use Google TV as their smart TV software which provides the largest app selection and a very modern user interface, however it is not as user friendly as the software from other vendors.

About Vizio

Vizio is an American company. While they initially gained recognition for offering budget-friendly TVs, they have successfully expanded their product lineup to include high-end options as well. They manufacture TVs primarily in Mexico, China, and Vietnam. Similar to many Korean TV brands, Vizio developed its own smart TV software called SmartCast. In the past, SmartCast was not the best smart TV software, but it has evolved so that it is now good for using your TV and connecting to streaming services.
