Choose the Hisense A65K if you are looking for a budget-friendly option with decent overall performance, especially in dark environments. It has a good sound quality and is suitable for watching news, talk shows, and animation. However, it does not perform as well in bright rooms and may not be the best choice for sports or gaming. Opt for the Vizio P-Series if you want better performance in a variety of content, including sports and movies, and especially if gaming is a priority. It handles bright rooms better and offers superior picture quality, but it is also typically much more expensive. Keep in mind, both are LCD TVs with VA panels, which means they have limited viewing angles. Neither set excels at motion processing, but the Vizio is somewhat better in this regard. Both TVs have 4 HDMI ports and offer voice commands, adding convenience to their use. Give Feedback

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A65K has a lower contrast ratio, less effective local dimming, and lower black uniformity compared to the Vizio P-Series, meaning the Vizio will display deeper blacks and more distinct shadows, important for movie and cinematic TV viewing. Additionally, the Vizio's colors are rated well right out of the box and it boasts a better color volume, which means it can produce a wider range of colors, enhancing the overall picture quality for those types of content.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is poor.
The Vizio P-Series is a better choice for gaming primarily because it has a 120Hz refresh rate which makes for smoother motion, and decent input lag for responsive gameplay. In comparison, the Hisense A65K has a lower refresh rate at 60Hz which may not be as fluid, and although it has very good input lag, the overall gaming performance is considered poor.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio P-Series is better for bright rooms because it has "Very Good" performance in both SDR and HDR brightness, and it performs "Very Good" in reflections handling, which implies it can handle ambient light well and maintain a clear picture. On the other side, the Hisense A65K has only "Good" SDR brightness, "Fair" HDR brightness, and "Fair" reflections handling, meaning it isn't as bright and is more susceptible to glare that can wash out the picture in well-lit conditions.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and Hisense A65K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A65K's performance for watching sports is impacted by its fair response time and motion processing, which may result in some motion blur during fast-paced games, and its capability to handle reflections is only rated fair, which might be an issue in bright rooms. The Vizio P-Series similarly has a fair response time which can cause motion blur, and while it has a better capability to handle reflections than the Hisense A65K, it also suffers from limited viewing angles, meaning colors and contrast may shift when viewed from the side.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Vizio P-Series (LCD) to be good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A65K (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio P-Series provides a better experience for watching news and TV programs as it has superior SDR brightness and better out-of-the-box colors, which are very and somewhat important factors, respectively. In contrast, the Hisense A65K, while fair in these areas, doesn't match the Vizio's performance in producing bright and vibrant images, which can make a noticeable difference with everyday content.

"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."

"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."

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.
