The Hisense U8G offers a better overall viewing experience with higher performance in picture quality, brightness, and gaming features compared to the Hisense A65K; it is especially better for watching movies in a dark room and for playing video games that benefit from its higher refresh rate. However, the A65K is much less expensive and still offers a good viewing experience for general TV watching and viewing in bright rooms. If your budget is tight and your primary use is casual viewing in well-lit environments, the A65K may serve you well. If you're willing to invest more for enhanced picture, gaming performance, and room versatility, the U8G is a better choice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8G (LCD) and Hisense A65K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A65K displays sports fairly with adequate response time and motion processing but could struggle in bright rooms due to its average handling of reflections and narrow viewing angles. In contrast, while the Hisense U8G offers superior motion processing and response time which contributes to a smoother sports-watching experience, it might still present limitations in viewing angles and reflections, albeit to a lesser extent than the A65K.

"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."
