If price is a primary concern and you're looking for a TV that handles cartoons and animations well, the Hisense A65K could be a suitable option, also offering slightly better contrast. However, if color accuracy right out of the box is important to you and you don't mind spending a bit more, the Toshiba C350LU stands out with its superior color performance. Keep in mind, both TVs have their limitations with poor performance for gaming, and neither shines in bright rooms due to their fair bright room scores. For watching movies or viewing in dark rooms, both are just fair and might not provide the best experience. Neither TV is ideal for sports due to their motion handling. The Toshiba has better viewing angles, making it more suitable if you have a wide seating arrangement. If you plan to use the TV as a monitor, both are good options, but keep in mind the Hisense has one more HDMI port, which could be beneficial for connecting multiple devices. 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."
