If you are looking for a budget-friendly option, the Hisense A65K could be appealing as it is much less expensive and offers good performance for movies, news, and cartoons. However, it may not be ideal in bright rooms and the dark room performance is not as good as premium models. The Samsung QN95B, on the other hand, is pricier but excels in bright rooms and offers superior picture quality overall, with excellent gaming, sports, and movie watching experiences. It also has better sound quality and is well-suited for dark room viewing. If the price isn't a constraint, the QN95B offers significant enhancements across most viewing scenarios. Give Feedback

"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."

"Picture quality is fantastic truly mind-bogglingly good. It also plays into the screen’s gorgeous color performance, as spectacularly rich, vibrant tones now look both more consistently natural and balanced. With its extreme brightness and vibrant Quantum Dot color system, the QN95B delivers a dazzling demonstration of just how much of a difference HDR can make to picture quality."
