The Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H performs poorly in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its lower contrast and weaker black uniformity, which are important for deep blacks and shadow detail. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series offers better contrast and black uniformity, making it fairer in performance for these types of content, though it still has limitations in these aspects compared to higher-end TVs.

The Vizio V-Series (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H displays cartoons and animations as subpar due to its limited color gamut and dull colors out of the box, while the Vizio V-Series is preferred for such content because it boasts a wider color gamut and vibrant colors straight out of the package, making the picture pop which is essential for animated content.

The Hisense A6H (LCD) has a price of $178 and the Vizio V-Series (LCD) costs $198.
The Hisense A6H (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A6H and Vizio V-Series are both rated fair for sports viewing mainly due to their response time and motion processing, which are not as quick or sophisticated as higher-rated models, leading to some motion blur. While the Hisense has wider viewing angles, making it better for watching with a group, both struggle with reflections and have only decent gray uniformity, which can affect the viewing experience during sports games with uniform colors across the screen like a football field.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Vizio V-Series (LCD) to be only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H is rated lower for watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs because it has poorer SDR brightness, meaning it doesn't get as bright as the Vizio V-Series under similar conditions, and this can affect the visibility of the image. Moreover, although both TVs do not have local dimming to enhance contrast, the Vizio V-Series has better upscaling quality, resulting in clearer images from lower resolution content which is common with regular TV broadcasts.

The Vizio V-Series (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for bright room.
The Hisense A6H and Vizio V-Series are considered poor for watching TV in bright rooms because both have low SDR and HDR brightness and only fair performance in reflection handling. The Vizio, however, offers a higher contrast which can partially mitigate these issues, whereas the Hisense has a lower contrast which can further diminish its viewing experience in bright settings.
