If you're on a budget and looking for a smaller TV, the Hisense A4H could be a good choice. It's more affordable and provides decent quality for casual viewing, such as news or cartoons. However, its performance in bright rooms and with darker scenes is limited, making it less suitable for cinematic movie experiences. In contrast, the Vizio P-Series is a larger, midrange-priced TV with superior picture quality, especially in bright environments and for watching movies. It also excels in gaming with lower input lag and faster response times. While the cost is higher, the Vizio offers a more robust and immersive viewing experience. Keep in mind, though, with more HDMI ports and better local dimming, the Vizio P-Series might be the better option if you have multiple gaming consoles or want to have a more theater-like experience at home.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Hisense A4H (LCD) is poor.

The Vizio P-Series is noted for very good color gamut and color volume, ensuring vivid, diverse colors essential for cartoons and animation, while the Hisense A4H, despite having fair color out of the box, falls behind in these areas, which can lead to less vibrant and less nuanced color reproduction in animated content.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A4H (LCD) is poor.
The Vizio P-Series is better for watching news and talk shows as it offers very good SDR brightness, enhancing visibility in various lighting conditions, and its colors out of the box are good, meaning it can display content with realistic colors immediately without the need for calibration. In contrast, the Hisense A4H has poorer SDR brightness and colors out of the box, which may result in a less vibrant and dimmer viewing experience for similar content.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense A4H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A4H struggles in bright rooms due to its poor scores in both SDR and HDR brightness, along with a fair performance in handling reflections, which can result in a washed-out picture. In contrast, the Vizio P-Series excels in similar conditions with very good scores for SDR and HDR brightness and for reflections handling, providing a clearer and more vibrant image even in well-lit environments.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and Hisense A4H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A4H is fair at watching sports due in part to its decent viewing angles but has poor motion processing which can result in blur during fast scenes, while the Vizio P-Series is also fair because it manages reflections well but its motion processing is somewhat lacking, leading to some motion blur, and it has more limited viewing angles compared to the A4H. Both TVs have similar gray uniformity which is somewhat important for field sports where consistent coloration across the screen is beneficial.

Tom's guide
Brian Westover | October 2021
"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.
