The Hisense A65K is a more budget-friendly option and typically much less expensive than the Samsung QN90A. If you're looking for a more affordable TV that still offers a good size and decent quality for various content, the A65K is a solid choice. It has adequate performance for movies, sports, and gaming, but may not be as satisfying in a dark room due to its lower dark room performance. In contrast, the Samsung QN90A, while typically much more expensive, will provide a premium viewing experience with greater brightness, better suitability for bright rooms, higher quality for gaming, and impressive performance for movies and sports. This model is particularly advantageous if you have a well-lit living space or if you're an avid gamer looking for high responsiveness and image quality. Ultimately, if saving money is a priority for you, go with the Hisense A65K; but if you're willing to invest in a superior viewing experience across various situations – especially in bright rooms and for gaming – the Samsung QN90A would be an excellent choice.

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is poor.

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90A provides a better sports viewing experience than the Hisense A65K, as the Samsung has superior motion processing and faster response time, which are critical for fast-paced action, and it also offers better handling of reflections and wider viewing angles.

The Samsung QN90A is considered very good for gaming as it has a very good response time and input lag experience, which are crucial for smooth gameplay, whereas the Hisense A65K has a fair rating in response time and very good input lag, making it less optimal for gaming due to the potential for slower reaction to on-screen action.

Although the Hisense A65K offers very good colors straight from the box and a good color volume, it does not match the Samsung's performance in terms of the richness and consistency of the colors it can display, which is crucial when watching cartoons and animation.

"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."
