If you're looking for a more economical option, the Vizio V-Series is a budget-friendly choice, but it has limitations in dark room performance and HDR brightness. On the other hand, the Hisense U6K, which comes at a higher cost, offers better overall picture quality, a slightly higher gaming performance, and is more suitable for brighter rooms. Additionally, the Hisense U6K supports advanced formats like Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos which can enhance your movie watching experience, but be aware that this TV's viewing angles are not as wide, so it's not the best option if you have a wide seating arrangement. Both TVs have a similar reflection handling capability, so if your room is very sunny, neither will be perfect, but Hisense U6K's better brightness may edge out in performance. If you primarily watch movies and want better sound and picture quality, the Hisense U6K could be worth the extra investment, while the Vizio V-Series is a more budget-friendly option that still provides satisfactory performance for general viewing.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K is superior for watching movies and cinematic TV due to its local dimming feature and better black uniformity, which enhance contrast and improve the viewing experience in dark scenes. Meanwhile, the Vizio V-Series struggles with movies and cinematic content as it lacks local dimming, leading to less deep blacks and poorer contrast, despite having better out-of-the-box colors and color volume.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6K is rated better for watching cartoons and animation than the Vizio V-Series due to its superior colors out of the box and color gamut, which are very important for vibrant and accurate on-screen animation. The Vizio V-Series falls short in these critical areas, even though it performs competently in somewhat important factors like color volume and gray uniformity.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K excels in upscaling lower resolution content and offering good colors right out of the box which is essential for enjoying standard definition programs like news and talk shows. Conversely, the Vizio V-Series exhibits a less satisfactory SDR brightness and does not support local dimming, impacting its ability to portray such content vividly, especially in various lighting conditions.

The Vizio V-Series (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6K and Vizio V-Series TVs both have limitations when it comes to watching sports: they have narrow viewing angles and only fair motion processing, which could result in less clear images during fast action. Additionally, both handle reflections and have only fair gray uniformity, which could be distracting in bright rooms and when displaying large, uniform areas like a sports field.

"Vizio's cheapest 4K HDR TV packs in a lot for a low price. The voice control via the remote works well, about as well as Roku's version on devices that have it. So if you know your way around a TV menu, or want to be able to dial in the picture even on an inexpensive TV, the Vizio is the better choice"

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.
