If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Hisense A65K is significantly less expensive. However, the Hisense U6G, while pricier, offers better overall performance, especially if you're interested in watching movies or HDR content where image quality is key. The U6G may also be a better fit if you have a bright room, as it handles reflections better. For gaming, both have similar input options, but the U6G provides a slightly more responsive experience. If you do not require the additional picture quality and performance enhancements of the U6G, the A65K offers a value-focused alternative. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense A65K is considered good for watching cartoons and animation due to its very good color accuracy out of the box, which means the colors will look vivid and natural without much adjustment. The Hisense U6G is regarded as very good in the same category largely because it offers an even wider color gamut, ensuring a richer variety of colors and better representation of the vivid visuals usually found in animated content. Both aspects, color accuracy and color gamut, are crucial for enjoying animated content, with the edge going to the U6G on color breadth.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G excels in SDR brightness and contrast, making it very good for watching news and talk shows as it displays sharper and more clearly defined images in various lighting conditions, while the Hisense A65K, despite offering good upscaling and acceptable SDR brightness, falls short in local dimming and contrast, resulting in a less precise image, especially in darker scenes.
