If you're on a budget and looking for a less expensive option, the Hisense A65K is suitable. However, it doesn't perform as well in a bright room and may not be the best for watching sports due to lower motion processing capabilities. On the other hand, the Samsung Frame Series costs more but offers better performance in bright rooms and for watching sports. It also has better motion processing, which is ideal for gaming or action-packed content. Both TVs are similar for movies and dark room viewing. Give Feedback

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) and Hisense A65K (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense A65K has relatively slower response times and weaker motion processing which can result in more blur during fast sports scenes, while the Samsung Frame offers better response times and motion handling, providing a clearer picture during fast action. However, both TVs struggle with wide viewing angles and reflections handling, which could reduce the quality of sports viewing in bright rooms or with large groups spread around the room. Gray uniformity is also only somewhat satisfying on both models, which might be noticeable during sports with uniform colors such as a football field.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A65K has only a fair response time and a very good input lag which may not satisfy serious gamers, while the Samsung Frame Series boasts a very good response time and the best possible input lag, offering a superior and more responsive gaming experience. The Hisense A65K's slower response rate can lead to motion blur during fast-paced games, and although it has a very good input lag, the Samsung's better performance in both response time and input lag provides a more seamless gaming experience, particularly at higher refresh rates.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is good.
The Samsung Frame Series delivers a very good viewing experience for cartoons and animation because it has excellent colors out of the box and a wide color gamut, ensuring vibrant and diverse hues. On the other hand, the Hisense A65K is good in this regard with strong out-of-the-box color accuracy and a good color gamut, but it doesn't quite match the Samsung in these areas which affects its overall performance.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense A65K is fair in a bright room as it has good SDR brightness but only fair performance for reflections handling, which means it can be subject to glare in well-lit environments. In contrast, the Samsung Frame Series offers very good SDR brightness and better handling of reflections, making it more suitable for viewing in bright rooms despite both having comparable HDR brightness levels.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung Frame Series (LCD) to be only fair for movies & TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A65K is considered poor for watching movies due to its lower contrast and ineffective local dimming, which lead to less impressive dark scenes and less impactful cinematic experience. The Samsung Frame Series fares better because it has a higher contrast ratio and better black uniformity, providing deeper blacks and a more consistent image quality for films, despite its lack of local dimming. Both have limitations with viewing angles and require calibration for accurate color reproduction, but Samsung's higher overall performance makes it a fair choice for movie viewing.

"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."
