If you're looking for an affordable TV and don't mind compromising on picture and gaming quality, the Vizio D-Series '22 might suit you. It's suitable for cartoons and standard definition content. However, it has limitations in bright rooms and for sports viewing. On the other hand, if superior picture quality, especially in bright rooms, and a better gaming experience are important to you and you're willing to spend more, then the Hisense U8G is the better option. It also has a higher refresh rate and supports advanced features like Dolby Vision and HDR10+, which enhance movie and series watching experiences. The Hisense U8G offers more connectivity options as well with multiple HDMI ports, but keep in mind, its viewing angles are not as wide, so it may not be the best choice if you often watch TV from side angles.

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.
