How we score

Scorata scores summarize analyzed review evidence on a 1–5 scale; they are not laboratory measurements or a simple average of customer star ratings. Feature scores summarize the reviews covering that feature. The overall score averages feature scores within each review, then combines review averages. When both expert and customer evidence are available, those two groups receive equal weight. Products can have different review coverage, so small score gaps do not establish a winner.

Recommendations prioritize important features for the category, with a score of at least 3.5, a gap of at least 0.25 points and at least two supporting reviews per product. Features with widely varying scores or broad connectivity contexts are excluded from recommendations. These safeguards do not establish statistical significance.

Performance

Picture quality
Hisense U65QF
4.7

Picture quality is the clearest strength: the U65QF is repeatedly described as unusually bright, colorful, crisp, and impressive for its price. Blooming, motion artifacts, and flatter depth versus pricier sets are the main qualifications.

Samsung QN70F
3.8

Picture quality splits opinion: lively 4K color and daytime sharpness please some viewers, while weak edge-lit dimming leaves dark scenes flat or washed out for others.

Dark-room performance
Hisense U65QF
5.0

For dim-room movie viewing, one detailed account praises the combination of strong contrast and broad color coverage as especially well suited to film.

Samsung QN70F
2.0

Dark-room use exposes gray blacks, halos and weak highlight separation; a few viewers find the result acceptable, but it is not a strong cinema pick.

Bass performance
Hisense U65QF
3.9

Bass is surprisingly capable for a TV and the built-in subwoofer adds useful weight, but opinions vary on balance and cleanliness. One source finds the low end mediocre and distorted under stress.

Samsung QN70F
1.8

Bass is the obvious weakness of the built-in speakers; effects, deep voices and music sound thin until external audio or AI processing helps.

Local dimming performance
Hisense U65QF
4.8

Local dimming is one of the most praised picture features, producing strong contrast and impressive black control when viewed head-on. Haloing becomes more visible in some difficult scenes and off-axis positions.

Samsung QN70F
2.7

This is the most divisive weakness: large backlight columns limit precision, and several assessments say local dimming barely helps or actually worsens scenes.

Contrast ratio
Hisense U65QF
4.5

Contrast is a major strength, helped by mini-LED local dimming and bright highlights. Dark-versus-bright scenes often look punchy and dimensional for the price.

Samsung QN70F
2.7

The native panel has reasonable contrast, yet its coarse edge-lit dimming struggles to separate bright objects from dark surroundings.

Sound quality
Hisense U65QF
4.3

Built-in sound is better than expected in many reviews, often good enough for casual use without a cheap soundbar. Tom's Guide is less impressed and calls it merely passable, so demanding listeners may still want external audio.

Samsung QN70F
2.8

Voices and higher frequencies are often clear, but the thin, low-powered speakers leave bass and cinematic impact lacking.

HDR performance
Hisense U65QF
4.0

HDR usually looks punchy and worthwhile, especially given the price, with bright highlights and strong contrast. A few sources are more reserved, calling it merely adequate or warning that entry-level HDR still trails higher-tier TVs.

Samsung QN70F
2.8

HDR has enough brightness and color to look pleasant, but poor dimming and muted highlight separation prevent a convincing premium HDR experience.

HDR brightness
Hisense U65QF
4.4

HDR brightness is broadly praised and often measured near or above 1,000 nits, giving highlights real impact. A minority view is less enthusiastic, especially for smaller sizes or when comparing HDR output with stronger step-up models.

Samsung QN70F
3.3

The TV handles many HDR scenes reasonably well, though its HDR output is noticeably below some similarly priced brighter Mini LED competitors.

Noise reduction
Hisense U65QF
5.0

Noise reduction is specifically praised for keeping bright, aggressive presets clean without introducing obvious artifacts.

Samsung QN70F
4.0

Low-quality video is smoothed reasonably well, with some loss of fine texture as the cost.

Color accuracy
Hisense U65QF
4.5

Color accuracy is consistently strong, with several measurements and viewing tests describing natural, balanced color. A small amount of oversaturation appears in a few modes or demos, but the overall color presentation is highly rated.

Samsung QN70F
4.0

Color accuracy is excellent in some modes and tests, but Standard mode and certain HDR scenes can introduce conspicuous color errors.

Daytime viewing performance
Hisense U65QF
4.5

Daytime viewing is generally strong because the TV gets bright enough to remain punchy in well-lit rooms. Reflection handling is less consistent, so window placement still matters.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

The TV is at its best with ordinary SDR programming during the day, when strong brightness matters more than perfect blacks.

Soundstage
Hisense U65QF
4.5

The built-in speakers create a fuller and more spacious soundstage than expected for a budget flat-panel TV.

Samsung QN70F
4.0

The speakers can create a broad presentation for voices and music, but deeper cinematic impact still calls for external speakers.

Peak brightness
Hisense U65QF
4.9

Peak brightness is a standout strength, with several tests and hands-on accounts describing the set as exceptionally bright for a budget model. That brightness gives highlights and everyday viewing more punch.

Samsung QN70F
4.5

Strong SDR brightness keeps ordinary shows visible in lit rooms. HDR brightness is more modest against similarly priced full-array competitors.

Gaming performance
Hisense U65QF
4.6

Gaming is a major strength across the set of reviews, with low lag, high refresh rates, strong HDR color, and responsive play repeatedly praised. Even the more cautious source still finds casual and cinematic gaming satisfying.

Samsung QN70F
4.5

Four fast HDMI inputs, low lag and broad console compatibility are major advantages, tempered by motion blur in challenging games.

Other features

Motion handling
Hisense U65QF
4.1

Motion is generally smooth in sports, games, and action scenes, but it is not flawless. Several sources mention ghosting or blur in fast motion, while others report excellent smoothness with no choppiness.

Samsung QN70F
3.6

Opinions diverge sharply: some demonstrations show smooth sports and 60 fps motion, while measured slow pixel transitions expose blur and trailing.

Input lag
Hisense U65QF
4.5

Input lag is consistently low, commonly around 13 ms at 4K/60 and lower at faster modes. Reviewers generally describe the delay as barely perceptible or comfortably within good-gaming territory.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

Very low lag makes button presses feel immediate, which is a clear strength for gaming.

Response time
Hisense U65QF
5.0

Gaming response feels fast and fluid in the source that evaluates response time directly.

Samsung QN70F
1.8

Slow pixel transitions are a major limitation in independent measurements, leaving visible blur even when the TV accepts 120Hz or 144Hz signals.

Gaming dashboard
Hisense U65QF
1.8

The gaming dashboard is a clear weakness: multiple sources complain that there is no dedicated game bar or gaming settings menu.

Samsung QN70F
4.8

Samsung's Game Bar provides handy picture controls, status information and quick access to useful gaming options.

Stutter handling
Hisense U65QF
5.0

Sports playback can remain smooth and consistent without choppiness, indicating strong stutter control in that test.

Samsung QN70F
2.0

Slow camera pans in film and television can produce noticeable stutter despite the relatively slow panel response.

Shadow detail
Hisense U65QF
4.1

Shadow detail is usually preserved well, with dark scenes retaining texture instead of collapsing into gray or crushed blacks. Aggressive tone mapping in one account can still sacrifice some dark detail.

Samsung QN70F
2.0

Near-black scenes can look lifted, and calibration may crush some subtle shadow detail rather than restore it.

Banding control
Hisense U65QF
5.0

One detailed source reports streaming images without visible banding or artifacts, suggesting clean gradient reproduction in normal content.

Samsung QN70F
3.0

Banding is largely contained, though darker gray shades still reveal occasional steps instead of seamless transitions.

Image processing
Hisense U65QF
5.0

Image processing earns unusually strong praise, particularly for AI super-resolution, contrast enhancement, and its ability to keep bright presets from falling apart. The processing is treated as a meaningful advantage over ultra-budget sets.

Samsung QN70F
3.0

Samsung's processing can sharpen cleaner content and control noise, but it does not consistently rescue rough sources or match more expensive sets.

Stand width
Hisense U65QF
3.0

Stand width is a mild usability concern because the feet use one wide position; a narrower alternative would fit smaller furniture more easily.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

The narrow pedestal is useful when the furniture is not as wide as the television itself.

Low-resolution content handling
Hisense U65QF
4.3

Lower-resolution material holds up better than expected, especially with the TV's processing enabled. Minor artifacts can appear, but they are usually described as small rather than distracting.

Samsung QN70F
2.4

Old standard-definition video and poor cable feeds can look blurry, blocky or artificially smoothed despite the 4K processing label.

Content recommendations
Hisense U65QF
2.2

Content recommendations tend to lean heavily toward Amazon material, and multiple sources find that emphasis cluttered or overly ecosystem-driven.

Samsung QN70F
4.0

Home-screen suggestions and click-to-search content details can be handy, though relevance varies.

Motion clarity
Hisense U65QF
4.5

Fast sports motion is reported to retain sharpness well, helping moving subjects stay easy to follow.

Samsung QN70F
2.7

High refresh-rate input helps gameplay, but moving objects can still smear, particularly in shadows and lower-frame-rate material.

Judder handling
Hisense U65QF
5.0

Movie and cable playback are described as smooth without obvious judder or jitter in the source that tests this behavior directly.

Samsung QN70F
3.5

Most ordinary viewing looks fine, although some 25 fps material in a 60Hz feed still shows judder.

Reflection handling
Hisense U65QF
3.3

Reflection handling varies substantially by source and size. Some testers find reflections well controlled or diffused, while another calls the glossy screen a reflection magnet.

Samsung QN70F
1.8

Indirect room light is manageable through brightness, but direct windows and lamps create obvious mirror-like reflections.

Black levels
Hisense U65QF
4.4

Black levels are generally strong for an LCD mini-LED TV, with several accounts describing deep or nearly black dark areas. A few sources still see grayish blacks or weaker depth in demanding conditions and off-axis viewing.

Samsung QN70F
3.0

Some viewers find the blacks respectable for a slim LCD, but darker tests reveal raised, uneven blacks that fall short of stronger Mini LED sets.

Glare resistance
Hisense U65QF
3.4

Glare resistance is similarly mixed. Several bright-room tests find it manageable or very good, but other sources warn that reflections can be obvious and may require more careful room lighting.

Samsung QN70F
2.0

Bright scenes fight general daylight well, yet the glossy surface does little to disperse sharp reflections from windows or lamps.

Upscaling quality
Hisense U65QF
4.3

Upscaling is generally good, with 1080p and sub-1080p material gaining useful detail and staying watchable. One test calls it merely decent and notes minor artifacts.

Samsung QN70F
3.1

HD sources usually look clean and reasonably sharp, while very low-resolution material remains soft or blocky and aggressive smoothing may remove detail.

HDMI 2.1 port count
Hisense U65QF
3.9

Two HDMI 2.1 ports are often praised as unusually generous for the price, though some reviewers would prefer every HDMI input to support the full high-speed feature set.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

All four HDMI inputs have high-bandwidth gaming capability, a rare convenience when connecting multiple modern sources.

Overall satisfaction
Hisense U65QF
4.7

Overall satisfaction is very high: all 17 sources contain a positive product-level judgment, often describing the U65QF as an excellent value or standout budget TV. The strongest reservations center on Fire TV, off-angle viewing, blooming, and a few conflicting gaming/HDR claims.

Samsung QN70F
3.6

The QN70F is liked for bright viewing, software and gaming features, but satisfaction falls when buyers prioritize dark-scene picture quality or value.

Gaming mode quality
Hisense U65QF
4.0

Game Mode is described as looking very good and offering substantial picture customization, even though it lacks some step-up-model conveniences.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

Game Mode looks bright and colorful with responsive controls, although picture adjustments cannot eliminate motion blur or weak local dimming.

HDMI port count
Hisense U65QF
4.0

The overall port selection is considered solid, with four HDMI inputs providing enough connectivity for a typical console, streamer, and audio setup.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

Four HDMI sockets provide useful flexibility for several entertainment devices.

Variable refresh rate
Hisense U65QF
4.0

VRR is mostly viewed positively and contributes to smooth, tear-free play. One source says it is unavailable, and another finds it can be finicky depending on the HDMI input used.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

VRR works over a broad range and helps reduce tearing, including when frame rates dip.

Calibration options
Hisense U65QF
4.6

Calibration and picture adjustment options are strong, with granular controls, multiple presets, motion tuning, local-dimming adjustment, and tone-mapping flexibility available to enthusiasts.

Samsung QN70F
3.8

Picture controls can produce a more natural image, but advanced automatic calibration is time-consuming and does not always improve HDR color.

Remote layout
Hisense U65QF
3.2

Remote layout divides opinion. One source praises the intuitive button arrangement, but others complain that the remote lacks a dedicated input/source button.

Samsung QN70F
4.0

A compact button arrangement keeps the handset simple, but some users miss a dedicated numeric keypad.

Viewing angles
Hisense U65QF
3.2

Viewing angles are one of the biggest points of disagreement. PCMag and one sponsored review find them quite good, but most other hands-on sources warn that contrast, blacks, or color degrade noticeably away from center.

Samsung QN70F
2.3

Color and contrast fade off-axis. Some group-viewing impressions are forgiving, but wider seating arrangements are not ideal.

Ambient Experience
Hisense U65QF
4.3

Ambient Experience is viewed as a fun, distinctive extra that can turn the idle screen into art, widgets, or generated backgrounds. It is liked, but not considered essential to the buying decision.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

Ambient artwork and screensavers make the idle TV more decorative than a plain black screen.

Motion interpolation
Hisense U65QF
3.3

Motion interpolation is highly adjustable, which some viewers will appreciate. One reviewer strongly dislikes the default soap-opera effect, while another praises the flexibility to tune judder and smoothness.

Samsung QN70F
4.0

Optional interpolation can reduce movie stutter, but stronger settings can alter the intended cinematic appearance.

High-refresh-rate gaming
Hisense U65QF
4.3

High-refresh gaming is usually a standout strength, especially for PC use and 120Hz-capable consoles. One conflicting source describes a 60Hz ceiling, while another cautions that the full 144Hz benefit is mainly for PC gaming.

Samsung QN70F
3.7

120Hz consoles and 144Hz PCs get useful input support, but the slow pixel response prevents consistently crisp fast action.

Cable management
Hisense U65QF
2.0

Cable management is weak. Side-facing connections can leave cables visibly sticking out, which works against a clean, minimal installation.

Samsung QN70F
1.5

Rear cable grooves are either missing or unreliable for thicker cables, leaving some wires difficult to secure.

Dirty screen effect
Hisense U65QF
4.5

Dirty-screen performance is reported as solid, with only minor unevenness expected from time to time.

Samsung QN70F
4.0

The screen is largely clean during brighter material, though subtle nonuniformity can show on large uniform fields.

Screen mirroring
Hisense U65QF
4.5

Screen mirroring works smoothly for casual photos, presentations, and video in the source that evaluates it directly, though it is not intended for low-latency gaming.

Samsung QN70F
4.0

Wireless phone casting and mirroring help display mobile content on the large screen.

Stand stability
Hisense U65QF
5.0

The stand is described as steady and grounded in the source that comments directly on stability.

Samsung QN70F
4.5

The center-mounted support feels secure and takes up little tabletop space.

Wall-mount compatibility
Hisense U65QF
4.5

Wall mounting is straightforward and can produce a relatively slim, tidy profile despite the TV's mini-LED depth.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

Standard mounting points and the thin body support an attractive wall installation, though rear input access can get awkward.

Blooming control
Hisense U65QF
3.4

Blooming control is mixed. Some testers saw very little haloing even in harsh bright-on-black tests, while others found visible bloom around highlights, subtitles, credits, or off-angle images.

Samsung QN70F
3.0

Bright objects on dark backgrounds can create broad halos, although a few hands-on demonstrations considered the blooming tolerable.

Color gamut
Hisense U65QF
4.7

Wide-gamut performance is generally strong for the price, with near-full cinema-gamut coverage reported in some measurements. It is not uniformly flagship-level, but the consensus is positive.

Samsung QN70F
4.3

The QLED panel can produce vibrant colors, although wider color-space coverage and bright saturated tones are less impressive than some rivals.

Color volume
Hisense U65QF
4.0

Color volume gets sharply different reactions. Two hands-on reviewers praise vivid, rich color, while a buyer's guide warns that the wider color coverage is relatively weak compared with higher-end sets.

Samsung QN70F
3.7

HDR colors retain fairly good richness, while saturated reds can look washed out in brighter SDR scenes.

Advertising intrusiveness
Hisense U65QF
1.7

Advertising is the clearest smart-platform complaint. Fire TV is repeatedly described as heavy on promotions or unrelated product ads, and this is one of the strongest recurring negatives.

Samsung QN70F
2.0

Home-screen ads remain visible, and switching off targeting does not remove the advertising altogether.

Remote control quality
Hisense U65QF
3.8

Remote quality is mixed: some reviewers like the ergonomic, simple design, while others miss the backlighting and see it as a downgrade from Hisense's higher models.

Samsung QN70F
4.0

The small rechargeable remote is a practical design, with a second traditional style available in some regional packages.

Dialogue clarity
Hisense U65QF
4.3

Dialogue is generally clear and easy to follow, with voices staying articulate even at lower listening levels or in busy scenes.

Samsung QN70F
4.4

Speech remains understandable at ordinary volumes, aided by voice-enhancement processing.

Stand quality
Hisense U65QF
4.0

The stand feet are basic but functional, doing their job without adding much visual or mechanical sophistication.

Samsung QN70F
4.2

The compact center stand supports the panel well and makes placement easier on smaller furniture.

Screen uniformity
Hisense U65QF
3.5

Screen uniformity is mixed: one source sees only minor corner vignetting and another reports clean brightness distribution, while a separate test calls black uniformity imperfect in fully dark scenes.

Samsung QN70F
3.6

The center of the screen is generally acceptable, with occasional darker edges or minor light bleed; near-black uniformity fares better in some testing.

Energy efficiency
Hisense U65QF
4.0

One source describes brightness and SDR output as balancing performance with energy efficiency, giving the TV a positive but limited efficiency assessment.

Samsung QN70F
4.0

The slim edge-lit approach is praised as relatively economical compared with more elaborate backlight systems.

Gradient handling
Hisense U65QF
4.0

Dolby Vision gradations are described as smooth and controlled, although HDR10 transitions can look more abrupt in demanding sequences.

Samsung QN70F
4.0

Most HDR gradients look smooth, with some visible banding in dark gray and bright red transitions.

Ownership and support

Reliability
Hisense U65QF
2.0

A single dead-pixel report raises a quality-control caution, but there is not enough repeated durability discussion to establish a broader reliability pattern.

Samsung QN70F
1.0

Long-term durability is a serious concern in testing of this edge-lit backlight design, despite some positive brand-owner experiences.

Dolby Vision support
Hisense U65QF
5.0

Dolby Vision is particularly well regarded when the right preset is used. Dolby Vision Dark is favored for accuracy, while another account finds Dolby Vision smoother and more cinematic than HDR10 in difficult gradations.

Samsung QN70F
2.0

The absence of Dolby Vision disappoints when watching content mastered for the format; HDR10+ is the alternative here.

HDR format support
Hisense U65QF
5.0

HDR format support is a clear strength, with the major formats repeatedly praised as unusually complete for this price tier.

Samsung QN70F
2.0

HDR10+ support is useful, but the missing Dolby Vision option narrows compatibility with films and streaming services.

Setup ease
Hisense U65QF
5.0

Setup is consistently easy, from attaching the feet to completing Fire TV initialization. Multiple reviewers describe the process as straightforward, quick, or exceptionally simple.

Samsung QN70F
3.0

Stand assembly is straightforward, although remote pairing and mandatory account steps can add friction during first setup.

Value for money
Hisense U65QF
4.9

Value for money is the strongest consensus point. Nearly every source describes the U65QF as an exceptional bargain, especially when discounted, because it combines mini-LED brightness, gaming features, large sizes, and solid sound at budget-oriented prices.

Samsung QN70F
3.3

Value is highly price-sensitive: a deep discount helps, but stronger-contrast alternatives often cost about the same.

Tuner support
Hisense U65QF
3.5

Tuner support is unusually conflicted: one source praises an ATSC 3.0 tuner as rare at this price, while another says the built-in tuner is ATSC 1.0 and cannot deliver over-the-air 4K.

Samsung QN70F
2.0

Conventional broadcasts are supported, but the lack of ATSC 3.0 limits access to newer over-the-air features in the United States.

HDR10+ support
Hisense U65QF
5.0

HDR10+ support contributes to the TV's unusually broad HDR compatibility, a feature set praised as excellent for the price.

Samsung QN70F
4.0

HDR10+ material is supported, but its visual impact varies and can sometimes look flatter than expected.

HDMI 2.1 support
Hisense U65QF
4.3

HDMI 2.1 capability is a major source conflict: most hands-on reviews praise it for modern console and PC gaming, while one article says the TV lacks HDMI 2.1 entirely. Where present, it is treated as a strong value feature.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

Full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 connections suit modern consoles, PCs and eARC audio setups without major input compromises.

4K at 144 Hz support
Hisense U65QF
4.4

144Hz support is widely praised as exceptional at this price, particularly for PC gaming. One conflicting source describes a 60Hz limit, making the coverage unusually inconsistent across the supplied material.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

Compatible gaming PCs can feed 4K at 144Hz, giving the QN70F more input flexibility than ordinary 60Hz televisions.

EARC support
Hisense U65QF
4.5

ARC/eARC is described as working well with external soundbars and receivers, making it easy to expand beyond the built-in audio.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

eARC provides an effective route to a soundbar or receiver for much fuller audio than the TV speakers can produce.

4K at 120 Hz support
Hisense U65QF
4.3

Most gaming-focused sources present 4K/120 as ready for modern consoles and more than adequately supported. One conflicting article claims native 120Hz is absent, so this attribute is not unanimous.

Samsung QN70F
4.7

PS5 and Xbox 4K/120Hz capability is a practical gaming advantage across compatible sources.

4K gaming support
Hisense U65QF
4.6

4K gaming is generally praised for crisp detail, smooth response, and strong console compatibility. One source is more cautious about the highest-end gaming features, but still finds casual 4K play satisfying.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

The TV works well with modern 4K consoles and gaming PCs, with flexible signals and gaming controls.

Samsung QN70F
1.5

Bixby responds inconsistently for some users, and language support is narrower in certain regions.

Menu responsiveness
Hisense U65QF
5.0

Where menu responsiveness is tested directly, navigation and app switching feel quick and smooth.

Samsung QN70F
3.2

Settings navigation is often convenient, although startup delays and occasional pauses detract from the experience.

Operating system speed
Hisense U65QF
3.7

Operating-system speed is mixed by source. Some testers find Fire TV or the described smart platform fast and snappy, while others warn that Fire TV feels slower outside Amazon content and may worsen as the processor ages.

Samsung QN70F
2.7

Tizen is generally usable, but its first few minutes after startup can feel slow or buggy on some units.

Streaming app support
Hisense U65QF
4.6

Streaming-service coverage is broad and includes the major services most buyers expect, so an external streamer is not required for app availability alone.

Samsung QN70F
5.0

Popular streaming services are readily available without needing a separate stick or box.

App selection
Hisense U65QF
4.6

App selection is a consistent strength, with major streaming services covered and some reviewers unable to identify any important missing app.

Samsung QN70F
4.5

Major streaming apps are easy to find, with a broad selection of services available through Tizen.

Comfort and build

Size options
Hisense U65QF
4.9

Size choice is a major strength, with the lineup spanning mainstream screens through very large 85- and 100-inch options. Reviewers especially like the ability to buy a huge screen without moving into flagship pricing.

Samsung QN70F
3.7

Sizes from 55 to 85 inches cover many rooms, though there is no compact sub-55-inch option.

Design and appearance
Hisense U65QF
4.1

Design is generally clean, simple, and appropriate for the price, with slim bezels and understated styling. It is not universally seen as premium, and stand placement limits flexibility for some furniture.

Samsung QN70F
4.8

The slim chassis, understated styling and neat rear finish give the QN70F an appealing living-room appearance.

Bezel size
Hisense U65QF
4.7

Bezels are consistently praised as thin or nearly edge-free, helping the picture dominate the front of the TV.

Samsung QN70F
4.3

The borders look discreet to some owners, but one detailed comparison found them thicker than competing sets.

Build quality
Hisense U65QF
4.0

Build quality ranges from merely adequate plastic construction to surprisingly good fit and finish. The common view is functional and solid rather than truly premium.

Samsung QN70F
4.0

Fit and finish are good with no obvious assembly defects, although the chassis relies heavily on plastic.
