Hisense A7N 65" vs LG QNED85 55"
The Verdict
Hisense's A7N offers exceptional value at $449 for a 65-inch QLED with 600-nit brightness and Dolby Vision support, though it maxes out at 60Hz refresh rate with no VRR. LG's QNED85 commands a $799 premium for its smaller 55-inch panel but delivers superior gaming credentials,120Hz refresh rate, variable refresh rate support, and impressively low 7ms input lag versus Hisense's 12ms. Picture quality favors LG slightly with 700-nit brightness and superior NanoCell IPS technology, plus webOS offers more intuitive smart features and wider voice assistant compatibility than VIDAA OS. Audio specs match identically at 20W with Dolby Atmos. For budget-conscious buyers prioritizing screen size and general performance, the A7N excels; serious gamers and those wanting premium smart TV integration should invest in the QNED85 despite the smaller display.
