The Hisense A65K is a budget-friendly option that offers decent overall picture quality and performs well with cartoons and animation. However, it struggles more in dark room settings and might not be the best choice for gaming or sports content due to its lower performance scores in these areas. It also has lesser bright room performance, which could be an issue in well-lit environments. The Samsung Q70A is pricier but provides better overall picture quality, particularly excelling in gaming with higher performance scores. Its bright room performance is also superior, making it a better pick for rooms with a lot of ambient light. It does not feature local dimming, which can affect contrast and deep black levels in dark viewing settings compared to TVs that do have this feature. In summary, if you're on a budget and primarily watch animations, the Hisense A65K could be satisfactory. If you're a gamer or often watch TV in a bright room and can invest more, the Samsung Q70A would be more suitable. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) and Hisense A65K (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense A65K falls short in reflection handling, which can be bothersome when watching sports in a room with many light sources, and it has limitations in motion processing that may result in blurriness during fast-paced action. On the other hand, the Samsung Q70A offers very good response times for clearer motion but has a narrow viewing angle that can affect the picture quality when seen from the side, which is less ideal when watching with a large group.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is good.
The Samsung Q70A provides more vibrant colors out of the box, which enhances the visual experience when watching cartoons & animation, and it also has a wider color gamut allowing it to display a broader range of colors accurately. Conversely, the Hisense A65K also offers good color accuracy out of the box and a respectable color gamut, but it does not match the Samsung in the depth and breadth of color representation, which might make it less appealing for colorful content like animation.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q70A offers better upscaling quality and higher SDR brightness, which makes it preferable for viewing in diverse lighting conditions and ensuring lower-resolution content looks more refined. Conversely, the Hisense A65K, while offering fair performance for watching news and TV programs, has less effective upscaling and lower SDR brightness, which might not render standard definition content as sharply or be as visible in very bright rooms.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense A65K struggles in bright rooms mainly due to its lower SDR and HDR brightness capabilities and fair performance in handling reflections. The Samsung Q70A, on the other hand, offers better brightness in both SDR and HDR content and although its reflection handling is rated as poor, the higher brightness helps counteract this drawback, making it a better fit for bright room environments.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung Q70A (LCD) to be only fair for movies & TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A65K has lower contrast, worse local dimming, and poorer black uniformity than the Samsung Q70A, which makes it less suitable for movies and cinematic TV where these features are very important. Despite the Samsung Q70A being described as "fair" for movie watching, it offers better performance in these key areas; however, both TVs have subpar viewing angles which may affect the viewing experience from off-center positions.

"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."
