When choosing between the Hisense A65K and the Hisense U7H, consider the following:
The Hisense A65K is at a budget price and may be a better choice if you want to save money and largely watch news, talk shows, reality TV, and animation. However, it has a limited performance in dark rooms and for sports viewing.
The Hisense U7H is priced higher, but offers better overall picture quality, superior gaming experience, and improved performance in both dark and bright rooms. This TV is also better equipped for movies and series with higher contrast and brightness capabilities.
Both TVs may not perform exceptionally in very bright rooms, but the U7H has a slight advantage. If gaming and movie nights are important to you and you are okay with spending more, the U7H might be the better choice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A65K is considered poor for watching movies and cinematic TV mainly due to its low contrast, ineffective local dimming, and poor black uniformity, leading to less impactful dark scenes. In contrast, the Hisense U7H performs well in these aspects, offering high contrast, more effective local dimming, and better black uniformity, which results in darker blacks and a richer viewing experience, along with better color reproduction and gray uniformity.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) and Hisense A65K (LCD) are both good for cartoons & animation, though the Hisense U7H (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense A65K is valued for cartoons and animation due to its very good colors out of the box, which is essential for animated content where vividness is key, and a good color gamut that helps in reproducing a wide range of colors. On the other hand, the Hisense U7H, while having a good color gamut as well, offers better SDR brightness and contrast, enhancing the depth and vibrancy of animations and cartoons.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7H is better for bright rooms than the A65K because it has higher brightness capabilities in both standard and high dynamic range content, allowing it to combat glare more effectively, and its reflections handling is similar. While both TVs have fair reflections handling, the U7H also has a stronger contrast, better color volume, and color gamut, contributing to a more vibrant picture in well-lit environments.

The Hisense A65K (LCD) has a price of $370 and the Hisense U7H (LCD) costs $698.
The Hisense A65K (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A65K offers fair performance in sports watching due to its better response time but falls short with reflections handling in a bright room. On the other hand, the Hisense U7H has less effective motion processing due to its poorer response time and could also present challenges with reflections, though it does have a slightly better viewing angle, which could favor multiple viewers spread out in a room.

How the Hisense A65K (LCD) and the Hisense U7H (LCD) compare to other TVs
"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."
"We loved the Hisense U7H. It was able to deliver an excellent all-around image quality in its price range. The TV excels at controlling its backlighting in a way that ensures you’ll never experience blooming to a level of being distracting, something that I was a little surprised to see given the lack of Mini LED. The TV doesn’t just get decently bright it offers relatively accurate color reproduction for a TV in this price range. The TV is being billed excellent for gaming."
