The Hisense A65K generally comes at a budget price and performs adequately across various content, with slightly better suitability for watching news, talk shows, and animation. However, it might struggle in bright rooms and with fast-motion content like sports or gaming.
In contrast, the LG QNED90 is priced higher in the upper midrange category and offers better overall picture quality, including superior performance in bright rooms, and a significantly better experience for gaming. Its sound quality is also enhanced with a more powerful speaker setup. If you prioritize high motion clarity, better viewing angles, and are content watching in brighter conditions, the LG QNED90 would be a more suitable choice despite its higher cost. Give Feedback

The LG QNED90 (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A65K struggles with watching movies and cinematic TV mainly due to its lower local dimming capability and poor contrast which lead to subpar black uniformity that is crucial for dark scenes, whereas the LG QNED90 offers better performance with its higher local dimming quality that improves contrast and black uniformity, essential for creating deep blacks in darker viewing environments. Additionally, the QNED90's superior viewing angles and color volume make it more suitable for varied content and larger viewing groups.

The LG QNED90 (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The LG QNED90 performs better for news, talk shows, and other TV programs due to its superior upscaling and SDR brightness, which enhance presentation clarity and visibility in various light conditions. The Hisense A65K, though fair in this regard, falls short due to less effective upscaling and lower SDR brightness, which might affect its performance in bright rooms and with lower-resolution content.

The LG QNED90 (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The LG QNED90 outshines the Hisense A65K in bright room conditions due to its significantly higher SDR and HDR brightness, which helps maintain picture quality in well-lit environments; furthermore, despite both having fair reflections handling, the LG offers a more vibrant color volume and wider color gamut, contributing to a clearer and more vivid image under ambient lighting. Contrast is similar for both TVs, which is somewhat important but less critical than brightness and reflections for viewing in bright rooms.
