The LG B2, being an OLED TV, offers superior contrast, black levels, and viewing angles, making it the better option for movie watching and gaming, especially in darker rooms. However, if you have a bright room, OLED screens can be more prone to glare and are significantly more costly. Give Feedback

The LG B2 (OLED) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A65K has a fair response time which may lead to more motion blur during fast-paced games compared to the LG B2 that has the best response time for crisp fast-action scenes. Both TVs have very good input lag for quick game responsiveness, but the LG B2 also offers a higher refresh rate that is beneficial for smoother gameplay in gaming scenarios.

The LG B2 (OLED) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is good.
The LG B2 (OLED) is better for watching cartoons and animation because it has excellent color out of the box and a wider color gamut, ensuring vibrant and accurate colors. While the Hisense A65K (LCD) also displays colors well from the start and has a good color gamut, it falls short in color volume and contrast, areas where the LG excels, resulting in less depth and pop in the images.

The LG B2 (OLED) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The LG B2 is superior in watching news and talk shows due to its perfect black uniformity and local dimming feature which contributes to its exceptional contrast, enhancing the overall viewing experience. On the other hand, the Hisense A65K's lower contrast and less effective local dimming mean that it won't deliver the same depth of image, but it does offer good SDR brightness and upscaling, which are important for clear, visible content in a bright room.

"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."
"The LG B2 OLED pairs lush, saturated colors and perfect contrast with a 120Hz screen, HDMI 2.1 ports and a great smart TV platform. The LG B2 OLED is an ideal alternative to the LG C2 OLED for folks who want a taste of OLED life without the sticker price that usually comes with it. The LG B2 OLED does a lot right in terms of performance, color saturation is wonderful and contrast is second-to-none. Not only did color saturation and off-axis viewing impress me, harder to quantify specs like motion processing and upscaling really blew me away as well."
