If you favor overall picture quality and performance in both dark and bright rooms, the Samsung QN90B is a superior choice, especially for HDR content and gaming due to its higher brightness and contrast capabilities. Its advanced features and premium build make it ideal for serious gamers and cinematic experiences. However, the Hisense A65K, being more budget-friendly, is still a decent option for general TV viewing, particularly for watching news, animations, and talk shows. While it performs adequately in most conditions, it won't deliver the same level of performance in very bright or dark rooms as the Samsung QN90B. Ultimately, if the higher cost is within your budget and you demand top-tier picture quality across various contents, the Samsung QN90B is recommended. If affordability is a priority and your TV watching is more casual, the Hisense A65K may suffice. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90B outperforms the Hisense A65K when watching sports due to its superior response time and motion processing, which results in clearer fast-moving images, and its excellent handling of reflections makes it suitable for bright rooms. However, the Hisense A65K has a lower response time and less effective motion processing which might lead to more blur during fast sports, and its reflection handling is not as good, making it less ideal for well-lit environments.

"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 QN90B delivers one of the brightest pictures we’ve ever seen, showcasing HDR content better than just about every LCD/LED TV on the market. If all you’re planning on doing is watching cable TV, broadcast channels, and a fair share of streaming shows or movies, the QN90B is sure to impress. All four of the QN90B’s HDMI 2.1 ports support 4K gaming at 120fps a centerpiece feature of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5."
