If you're looking for a TV on a tight budget and plan mainly to watch movies or series in well-lit rooms, the Vizio V-Series could be a more suitable choice as it performs better than the Hisense A4H for bright room viewing, and it supports more HDR formats, which can enhance picture quality for compatible content. However, if accurate colors right out of the box and better viewing angles are more important for you, and the price difference isn't a concern, the Hisense A4H would be the better fit. Both TVs have their shortcomings when it comes to gaming and sports due to poor scores in relevant performance areas. Keep in mind that neither TV is particularly well-suited for dark room viewing.

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.
