If you're on a tighter budget, the Hisense U6G is significantly less expensive and offers good performance for its price. It's a suitable option for mixed usage, offering a decent picture quality for movies, TV shows, and sports. However, the Vizio P-Series, while more expensive, provides a better overall picture and is particularly well-suited for watching movies in dark rooms, gaming thanks to its higher refresh rate, and it may offer better HDR performance. If you often watch TV in bright rooms, the Vizio’s better reflection handling can make a noticeable difference. If price is a major concern, the Hisense U6G will still offer a satisfactory experience, but if you're looking for higher performance and better handling of bright room conditions, the Vizio P-Series could be worth the extra cost.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G exhibits a combination of good response time and excellent input lag, which are essential for gaming, but it has a 60Hz screen which may not be as smooth for fast-paced games. In comparison, the Vizio P-Series offers fair response time and good input lag but comes with a 120Hz screen, providing a more fluid experience for high-speed gaming.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6G excels in upscaling lower-resolution content to 4K, which is important when watching news or other standard definition TV programs, and has very good SDR brightness to maintain picture quality in most lighting conditions. The Vizio P-Series also has very good SDR brightness but lacks somewhat in upscaling, which may affect the clarity of lower-resolution TV shows, yet it offers good colors straight out of the box and a respectable color gamut for vibrant and consistent colors.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Vizio P-Series is rated higher for handling reflections, which helps maintain picture clarity in bright rooms, compared to the Hisense U6G which has a fair reflection handling. Although both TVs have very good SDR brightness, the better reflections handling of the Vizio P-Series could provide a more comfortable viewing experience in brightly-lit environments.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U6G delivers strong contrast and excellent black uniformity which are crucial for a cinematic experience, but has a limited viewing angle which may affect off-angle viewing; the Vizio P-Series offers similar advantages with slightly better contrast and good out-of-the-box colors, improving the overall movie-watching experience. Both TVs feature local dimming which enhances dark scene performance, but colors and gray uniformity are just average, indicating some trade-offs at their price points.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6G has good response time which is beneficial for sports, but its narrow viewing angles and fair reflection handling could limit the viewing experience for larger groups or well-lit rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio P-Series offers better reflection handling which is advantageous in bright rooms but has slightly slower response times, potentially leading to more motion blur during fast sports action.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense U6G is a solid choice for watching cartoons and animation due to its fair performance right out of the box, which means colors look good from the get-go, and it has a good color gamut ensuring a wide range of hues. The Vizio P-Series also performs well for the same content, providing good colors without the need for much adjustment and a very good color gamut for vibrant images, so both TVs display animations with rich and crisp colors.

Tom's guide
Brian Westover | October 2021
"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."

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.
