If you frequently watch movies or series and value picture quality, the Hisense U6H may be a better choice as it performs better for this type of content. Gaming enthusiasts may also prefer the Hisense due to its higher gaming performance. The Hisense U6H also offers better performance in bright rooms, meaning it can handle reflections and maintain picture quality better in well-lit environments. However, if you're looking for a TV to watch news, talk shows, or reality TV, and want to save a bit on your purchase, the Vizio V-Series is a decent option that costs less and has respectable performance for this type of programming. Both TVs have similar prices and are budget-friendly options, but the Hisense U6H offers a few more HDMI ports, which can be useful if you have multiple devices to connect. Note that both TVs do not have great speakers, so you might consider a separate sound system regardless of your choice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H provides a better experience for movies and cinematic TV as it offers superior contrast and local dimming capabilities which enhance picture depth and detail in dark scenes, along with more accurate colors right out of the box. The Vizio V-Series, while having good black uniformity, falls short in local dimming and color accuracy, making it less ideal for true-to-life cinematic visuals.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6H is better suited for gaming than the Vizio V-Series because it has a faster response time and lower input lag, both of which are crucial for a smooth gaming experience. However, both TVs have an equal refresh rate, but the superior response and input times on the Hisense make it more fit for gamers.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6H performs very well with colors right out of the box and has a good color gamut, which is essential for vibrant and accurate animation colors. While the Vizio V-Series is also capable with colors straight out of the box, its color gamut is not as extensive, impacting the range of colors it can display.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H performs better for watching news, talk shows, and TV programs due to its good SDR brightness, which makes it suitable for daytime viewing, and its excellent score for upscaling lower-resolution content, such as standard-definition TV. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series has a poorer performance in SDR brightness, which could impact visibility in bright conditions, and fair upscaling capability, which might not handle low-resolution content as well.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6H outperforms the Vizio V-Series in a bright room because it has better SDR and HDR brightness, meaning it can maintain clearer visibility under intense lighting. While both TVs have similar ratings for handling reflections, the increased brightness of the Hisense U6H, along with its good performance in contrast, color volume, and color gamut, makes it better suited for viewing in well-lit environments compared to the Vizio V-Series, which has poor SDR and HDR brightness.

The Vizio V-Series (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6H, while offering relatively better motion processing which is important for sports, struggles with limited viewing angles and only fair performance in handling reflections, which can be bothersome in bright rooms. Meanwhile, the Vizio V-Series shows similar limitations in viewing angles and reflection handling, but also has a slow response time, leading to blurrier images during fast-paced sports action.

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. (...)"

"Vizio's cheapest 4K HDR TV packs in a lot for a low price. The voice control via the remote works well, about as well as Roku's version on devices that have it. So if you know your way around a TV menu, or want to be able to dial in the picture even on an inexpensive TV, the Vizio is the better choice"

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.
