The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is good.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q60B has better performance when watching news and TV programs primarily because it handles upscaling of lower-resolution content well and offers high SDR brightness, which is crucial for clear viewing. In contrast, the Hisense A65K, while fair in these areas, does not achieve the same level of SDR brightness or upscaling quality, potentially leading to a less vivid picture and detail in a typical broadcast context.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Hisense A65K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A65K has fair motion processing which is suitable for watching sports, yet its response time is only fair, affecting fast action clarity. In contrast, the Samsung Q60B's poor response time may result in more motion blur during sports, but it handles reflections better, ensuring a clearer picture in bright rooms. Both models have limited viewing angles, which means the picture quality may decrease when viewed from the side, and fair gray uniformity, which could affect the viewing of sports with uniform colors like a football field.

The Hisense A65K (LCD) and Samsung Q60B (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Hisense A65K has fair response time and very good input lag, but for gaming, its performance is limited due to its LCD 60Hz screen which affects motion clarity and smoothness. The Samsung Q60B, though it offers the best input lag for more responsive gameplay, is hindered by its poor response time, leading to more motion blur which is not ideal for fast-paced gaming.

"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."

"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
