If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Hisense A65K is significantly less expensive and performs well generally, making it a solid choice for everyday viewing and gaming. However, it may not offer the best experience in darker rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23, while more expensive, provides better overall picture quality and supports a broader range of colors. This TV may be preferable if you’re interested in a more premium viewing experience for movies and series. However, it's worth noting that both TVs may struggle with bright room conditions.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) to be good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio MQ6 '23 provides more vibrant and accurate colors straight out of the box, and it also has a higher-upscaling score that makes lower-resolution content look better, which is beneficial for regular TV programs and news. In contrast, the Hisense A65K, while offering good upscaling, doesn't deliver as rich colors immediately and has a slightly lower contrast, which could make the image less punchy in comparison.

"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."

About Hisense
Hisense, a Chinese TV manufacturer, entered the US market in approximately 2011 and has since acquired TV divisions from various companies such as Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, and NEC. Currently ranking as the fourth largest vendor in terms of sales volume, Hisense aims to capture a wide range of TV budget segments. They offer exceptional value with TVs that often outperform their competitors at similar price points, making them a compelling choice for consumers. In the US, they use Google TV as their smart TV software which provides the largest app selection and a very modern user interface, however it is not as user friendly as the software from other vendors.
About Vizio
Vizio is an American company. While they initially gained recognition for offering budget-friendly TVs, they have successfully expanded their product lineup to include high-end options as well. They manufacture TVs primarily in Mexico, China, and Vietnam. Similar to many Korean TV brands, Vizio developed its own smart TV software called SmartCast. In the past, SmartCast was not the best smart TV software, but it has evolved so that it is now good for using your TV and connecting to streaming services.
