The Hisense U6G may be slightly less expensive and can offer somewhat better contrast, which is great for watching movies in dark rooms, and has a higher peak brightness which makes it more suitable for well-lit rooms. However, the Vizio M-Series has better color accuracy, which is important if you want the most realistic color representation, and is equipped with more gaming features that may be beneficial for gaming experiences. If you're focused on cost and a balance between dark room performance and handling some brightness in the room, the Hisense U6G is a good option. If color accuracy and advanced gaming features are a priority and you're okay with a somewhat higher cost, the Vizio M-Series might be the better choice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6G (LCD) and Vizio M-Series (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U6G and Vizio M-Series both deliver a pleasurable experience for watching movies and cinematic TV due to their strong contrast ratios and effective local dimming features, which help to produce deep blacks, crucial for dark scenes. However, the Hisense U6G has slightly better black uniformity, ensuring more consistent dark scenes across the screen, while the Vizio M-Series stands out with better colors straight out of the box and a wider color volume for more vibrant and diverse color representation.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6G exhibits better response times than the Vizio M-Series which is important for sports as it reduces motion blur, but it has narrower viewing angles which might limit the view in larger gatherings. Both manage reflections well which is good for well-lit rooms, but they exhibit only fair gray uniformity that could make some sports scenes look uneven on the screen..

The Hisense U6G (LCD) and Vizio M-Series (LCD) are both only fair for gaming.
The Hisense U6G has a good response time and the best input lag, making it responsive for gaming, but its slower response time compared to some competitors may not be ideal for fast-paced gaming. The Vizio M-Series, with a fair response time and a very good input lag, also provides a decent gaming experience, but like the Hisense, may not be the top choice for games demanding the fastest response times.

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.
