If budget is your primary concern, the Vizio D-Series (LCD) is the more budget-friendly option and offers good performance for cartoons and animation. However, if you're willing to invest more for a larger screen and better upscaling capabilities, especially if you watch a lot of 4K content, the Hisense R6G (LCD) might be the better choice. The Hisense R6G also supports HDR formats like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, which can enhance the viewing experience of compatible content. On the other hand, the Vizio has slightly better sound output power, which might save you from needing an external speaker for everyday use. Both TVs have their limitations in bright rooms and for gaming, so if these aspects are crucial, you might want to consider TVs with better performance in those areas. Give Feedback

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.

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

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.
