If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Hisense U6H is significantly less expensive than the Vizio Quantum Pro. The Hisense U6H excels in dark room performance and picture quality for movies and series, which makes it suitable for cinematic experiences. It also has a better response time for gaming.
On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while more expensive, offers improved sound quality along with Dolby Atmos support for an immersive audio experience. It also has a higher screen refresh rate, which could enhance viewing for fast-paced content like sports and gaming. However, it doesn't perform as well in dark rooms compared to the Hisense U6H.
Consider the types of content you watch most, and whether the features such as sound quality and refresh rate justify the additional cost for the Vizio Quantum Pro. If you're mostly watching movies in darker environments and want to save money, the Hisense U6H would be a good choice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H is considered good for movies & cinematic TV due to its higher contrast and black uniformity, enhancing deep black scenes and contrast in dimly-lit rooms, paired with excellent colors out of the box, contributing to a rich and accurate color experience. However, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while offering fair performance in movies & cinematic TV, falls short in contrast and black uniformity, which may result in less deep blacks and potentially noticeable blooming around bright objects, although it boasts a very good wider viewing angle, making it a bit more versatile for group viewing.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H has a poorer response time and a slower refresh rate at 60Hz, which may result in less smooth motion, while the Vizio Quantum Pro boasts a better response time and a faster refresh rate at 120Hz, leading to smoother gameplay and potentially less motion blur. Additionally, the Vizio has better input lag performance, which means it responds to your gaming inputs quicker than the Hisense model.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6H stands out for cartoons & animation due to its excellent colors out of the box, which ensures that what you see is vibrant and accurate without additional calibration, though it has a good, but not the broadest color gamut which affects the range of colors it can display. The Vizio Quantum Pro, on the other hand, boasts a very good color gamut, providing a wider spectrum of colors that enhance the overall viewing experience, despite having only fair initial color accuracy which might require some fine-tuning for the best results.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H provides excellent performance when upscaling lower-resolution content, such as news or talk shows, which enhances the clarity and detail of such programs, while also delivering good SDR brightness, making it suitable for viewing in most lighting conditions. The Vizio Quantum Pro, despite its very good color gamut that allows for vibrant and varied colors, falls behind in upscaling and SDR brightness, making it less ideal for standard definition programs and challenging to watch in well-lit environments.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both good for bright room, though the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6H performs well in bright rooms due to its good SDR brightness and fair handling of reflections, but its HDR brightness is only fair, which might limit HDR performance in well-lit environments. The Vizio Quantum Pro, on the other hand, offers very good SDR brightness and excellent reflections handling, coupled with good HDR brightness, making it very suitable for bright rooms; however, it may be on the higher end in terms of price.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6H struggles with response time, which can lead to blur during fast-paced sports scenes, but handles reflections well, ensuring visibility even in bright rooms. The Vizio Quantum Pro has excellent response time minimizing motion blur during sports, but the limited viewing angles can affect the clarity of the image when watching from the side. Both TVs exhibit fair performance in motion processing and reflection handling, crucial for sports viewing, with the Hisense having a slight edge in reflections handling, and the Vizio outperforming in response time.
