Any suggestions for a decent TV below the 6k region. price range is 5k to 6.5k. Helping out two friends. One with a 5k budget and another with a 6.5k budget. Dream TV would be a 4k android TV with HDR and any other extra goodness but even if not android tv what is a decent budget tv to get in those price targets?

Android tv is not a must but preferable and if not then a decent looking tv + mi box will do the trick. I have heard that smart tv's aren't that smart so I should not base my buying decision on that.

The one I came across is Hisense : https://www.takealot.com/hisense-50-uhd-smart-tv-with-hdr-and-digital-tuner/PLID54712779
and this one https://www.takealot.com/hisense-50...with-dolby-vision-hdr-and-blueto/PLID54712785
 
How are Hisense TV's?
I remember reading some solid reviews some time ago but then seen some not so good reviews lately.

I am looking at these but not sure which to go for... is it worth it to fork out the extra $ for the Samsung (which is also QLED) or does the Hisense do the job?

My current TV is not smart and I have a TV Box.
Can a smart TV truly replace a TV Box? Can apps be sideloaded on a smart TV?
