The Hisense A65K is a budget-friendly LCD TV, which means it will cost you significantly less than the Samsung S95C, an OLED TV. However, the Samsung S95C offers superior overall picture quality, particularly in dark rooms, and excels in fast-moving content, making it well-suited for gaming and watching sports. The Hisense A65K is less capable in these areas but still offers good value for general viewing and has a quick response time which is good for gaming. On the other hand, if you often watch TV in bright rooms, the Hisense may underperform compared to the Samsung, which handles brightness and reflections better. Give Feedback

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.

"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."
