The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6G provides a superior experience for cartoons and animation due to its very good color accuracy out of the box and a broad color gamut, while the Vizio V-Series, though good in color accuracy, falls short in its color gamut, impacting the range and depth of colors displayed. Both TVs have adequate color volume, gray uniformity, contrast, and SDR brightness, but the Hisense U6G's superior color gamut offers a noticeable advantage for animated content.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G provides a better experience for watching news and TV programs due to its superior upscaling of lower resolution content and higher SDR brightness, ensuring clearer and more vibrant images even in well-lit rooms. Conversely, the Vizio V-Series has lower effectiveness in upscaling and less SDR brightness capability, which may result in less detailed images and lower performance in bright conditions.

For watching sports, the Hisense U6G provides a good response time, making it suitable for fast-moving scenes, but it might struggle with reflections in bright rooms. The Vizio V-Series, on the other hand, is weaker in response time which can lead to motion blur during fast sports action and also has limitations with reflections, but both TVs may present challenges when viewed from wide angles.
