If you're on a budget, the Hisense A65K is the more affordable option, but you should be aware that it has a fair overall picture quality, which means it's not the best for all types of content. It performs poorly for gaming, so if you're a gamer, it might not be the best choice. However, it performs well in dark and bright rooms, with a good contrast and SDR brightness, but note that it has a poor dark room score. Its speakers are not great, and it does not support advanced formats like HDR10+ or Dolby Vision, which can enhance the viewing experience for movies and shows. On the other hand, the Hisense R6G, while more expensive, also has fair overall picture quality, with poor performance in gaming and a similar fair performance in brightly lit rooms. It also lacks great speakers and advanced HDR format support. Both TVs have a 60Hz refresh rate and support voice commands, but the A65K offers an additional HDMI port. The choice depends on your budget and whether the extra HDMI port and slightly different features of the A65K align better with your needs compared to the R6G. Give Feedback

"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."
