If you are on a budget and primarily watch news, talk shows, or reality TV, the Hisense A65K may suit your needs well and save you money. However, it doesn't perform as well in dark rooms and may not be the best for movies, sports, or gaming where picture quality is key. For those who prioritize higher performance in gaming, a better movie-watching experience, and require a TV that excels in both bright and dark environments, the Hisense U7K is the more advanced option. It also offers better sound quality and is equipped to handle various HDR formats. This model is more expensive, so it's ideal for those willing to invest in a higher quality viewing experience across a wider range of content. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7K outperforms the Hisense A65K in movie and cinematic TV watching due to its superior contrast, more effective local dimming, and better black uniformity, which are crucial for deep blacks and high picture quality in darker scenes. Even though both TVs have similar color accuracy, the U7K's higher color volume and better gray uniformity contribute to richer, more consistent colors across the screen, further enhancing the viewing experience.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A65K has lower response time and input lag performance, which can lead to blurrier images and a less responsive gaming experience compared to the Hisense U7K that has very good response time and input lag, making it more suitable for fast-paced gaming where quick reflexes are crucial.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense A65K is good for watching cartoons and animation because it delivers very good colors straight out of the box, which is crucial for the vibrant palettes often used in such content. However, the Hisense U7K is considered very good for the same content as it not only offers very good colors out of the box but also has a higher color gamut and color volume, providing richer and more varied shades to enhance the viewing experience.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7K is better suited for watching news, talk shows, and TV programs primarily due to its superior SDR brightness and a well-performing local dimming feature, which enhance visibility in bright room conditions and improve contrast. In contrast, the Hisense A65K, while fair in these regards, lacks the same level of brightness and local dimming effectiveness, making it less ideal for such content, particularly in brightly lit environments.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense A65K has fair performance in bright rooms due to its lower reflections handling, whereas the Hisense U7K excels in bright rooms because of its very good reflections handling, higher SDR and HDR brightness, which helps it to maintain a clear picture even when there's a lot of ambient light. Both TVs' color gamut and color volume are important for picture quality but are less critical to their performance in bright conditions compared to brightness and reflections.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) and Hisense A65K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A65K and U7K both have similar motion processing abilities, which is key for sports viewing, but the U7K has a superior response time, enhancing its motion clarity for fast-moving content. However, while both televisions struggle with reflections which could impact viewing in bright rooms, they share the same limited viewing angles which means colors can wash out when watched from the side, affecting group sports-watching experiences.

"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."
