Choose the Hisense U6H if you're looking for value and a good all-around performance at a budget price. It usually costs significantly less than the Vizio M-Series and offers a solid experience for watching news, talk shows, reality TV, and animations, as well as for gaming and movie nights, particularly in rooms that aren't overly bright. Opt for the Vizio M-Series if you don't mind spending more for a generally better experience with sports content and slightly better performance in dark room settings. It has a slightly higher contrast and better black uniformity, making it suitable for viewing darker scenes. However, it's less adept at handling very bright rooms compared to the Hisense. Both TVs support common HDR formats, have similar sound quality, and lack great speakers, suggesting an external sound system might be worthwhile for an enhanced audio experience. Overall, the Hisense U6H provides a compelling value proposition, while the Vizio M-Series has its strengths in specific viewing scenarios despite being typically more expensive. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio M-Series (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6H performs very well in upscaling lower resolution content which is common in news and talk shows, and it also offers excellent colors out of the box, reducing the need for calibration for a good viewing experience. Meanwhile, the Vizio M-Series, while good in upscaling and providing very good colors out of the box, doesn't quite match the Hisense U6H's performance in these areas, leading to a slightly less optimal experience for standard dynamic range content like news and TV programs.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) and Vizio M-Series (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U6H and the Vizio M-Series both offer high contrast and local dimming that make them suitable for movie watching and cinematic content, with the Vizio having slightly higher contrast but less effective local dimming compared to the Hisense. However, the Vizio M-Series shows a bit better black uniformity, which is crucial for dark scenes in movies, but it falls behind the Hisense when it comes to viewing angles and color accuracy out of the box, which affects how consistent the picture looks from different seats and how true to life the colors appear without adjustments.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Vizio M-Series TV has fair response times suitable for enjoying fast-paced sports without too much blur, yet moderate viewing angles can limit the view for larger groups. On the other hand, the Hisense U6H also handles motion well due to its response times and has similar limitations with viewing angles, and both TVs handle reflections decently but may struggle with uniformity which is noticeable during sports with large areas of uniform color like fields or courts.

Conversely, the Vizio M-Series also has a fair response time and input lag rating offering a balanced gaming performance, but neither are outstanding in response time which is crucial for fast-paced games.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6H (LCD) to be good for bright room, while the Vizio M-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H performs better in bright rooms mainly because its SDR and HDR brightness levels are higher than the Vizio M-Series, which means it can better counteract glare from sunlight or lamps. Both TVs handle reflections fairly well, but the lower brightness of the Vizio M-Series makes it less suitable for viewing in well-lit environments.

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. (...)"

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.
