If cost is your primary concern and either TV would fit your budget, choose based on your content preferences and viewing environment. For a bright room, neither TV is ideal as they both have poor bright room performance. However, the N5300 has better viewing angles, making it a better choice for wide seating arrangements. Both TVs would not be the best for gaming or watching sports due to their poor performance in those areas. If you plan to use the TV as a monitor, you might be dissatisfied with both, as they have poor scores for monitor use. Neither supports advanced HDR formats like HDR10+ or Dolby Vision, which are important for future-proofing and enjoying the best HDR content. Sound quality is fair on both, so consider external speakers for better audio experience. They also both lack HDMI ports, which could limit connectivity with other devices. Give Feedback
