If you are looking for a TV with better picture quality for movies and HDR content, the Hisense U6H may be the better option as it tends to have a better contrast ratio and black uniformity, essential for dark room viewing. However, if you prioritize gaming features and plan to use the TV in a bright room, the Vizio MQ6 '23 is likely to have a better reflection handling and slightly lower input lag, making it a good fit for well-lit environments and responsive gameplay. Both TVs have a similar type of panel and refresh rate, so for general TV shows and casual content watching, either would be adequate. Keep in mind the Vizio may have a slight edge in upscaling lower resolution content, which could be important if you often watch standard definition channels or DVDs. The Hisense is often less expensive, but the Vizio offers features like voice commands, which could enhance the smart TV experience. Give Feedback

Tom's guide
Matthew Murray | March 2023
"A budget TV that exceeds expectations. (...) For a TV that costs as little as this one does, its brightness and color are above-average (...) The U6H may not get quite as bright as its splashier siblings, but for its class, it fares pretty well. (...) As far as input lag, the U6H is an impressive performer. (...) Costing less than most of its direct competitors, and matching or bettering them in several key areas, it’s an irresistible value proposition. (...)"

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.
