When choosing between the Hisense U6K and the Vizio V-Series '22:
If you prioritize overall picture quality, gaming performance, and better dark room viewing, the Hisense U6K may be the preferred option, albeit at a higher cost. It also performs slightly better in brightly lit environments and has a higher color accuracy out of the box.
However, if you are looking for a more budget-friendly option and mostly watch news, reality TV, or cartoons, the Vizio V-Series '22 could suffice. It also has an advantage of being a better choice if you plan to use it as a monitor, despite it having a lower performance in dark environments and overall picture quality compared to the Hisense U6K.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6K offers a superior movie and cinematic TV viewing experience with a higher contrast, better local dimming, and more consistent black uniformity compared to the Vizio V-Series '22; these factors are crucial for deeper blacks and more detailed dark scenes. Additionally, the Hisense has better out-of-the-box colors and color volume, both important for rich and accurate picture reproduction, whereas the Vizio, despite average black uniformity, falls short in these areas, impacting its overall performance for movies.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6K is considered fair for gaming because it has a fair response time and very good input lag, meaning it can handle fast-moving images with minimal blur and react swiftly to gaming inputs. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 also has fair response time but its input lag is only rated as fair, suggesting that while it can handle motion similarly to the Hisense, it might not respond to gaming commands as promptly, leading to a less responsive gaming experience.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K is preferred for cartoons and animation as it has better colors straight out of the box and a superior color gamut, which means it displays a wider and more precise range of colors, an attribute very important for animated content. Conversely, the Vizio V-Series '22 has a fairly accurate color out of the box but a limited color gamut, which might result in less vibrant animation and cartoon visuals.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6K is better for viewing news, talk shows, and other TV programs due to its higher upscaling quality and better colors out of the box, which means content will appear clearer and more vibrant. Conversely, the Vizio V-Series '22 does not upscale lower resolution content as effectively and offers poorer color quality, resulting in less vivid and grainier images while watching standard dynamic range (SDR) content.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6K performs better in bright rooms due to its higher SDR and HDR brightness levels and decent handling of reflections, while the Vizio V-Series '22 struggles because of its lower brightness in both SDR and HDR and similarly fair reflection handling. Contrast, color volume, and color gamut, which are somewhat important, are solid for both, but it's the brightness capability that differentiates the Hisense as a fair choice for bright rooms compared to the poor performance of the Vizio.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) and Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6K and the Vizio V-Series '22 are both fair for watching sports mainly because they share an adequate level of performance in key areas such as response time, motion processing, reflections handling, and viewing angles. However, they have differences, such as the Hisense U6K having slightly better motion processing which can be important in fast-paced games, but both have similar limitations when it comes to reflections and viewing angles which could be a drawback in well-lit rooms or large gatherings.

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.
