Choosing between the Hisense U7G and the Vizio V-Series largely depends on what you value most in a television. If superior gaming performance, better dark room viewing, and enhanced brightness in both SDR and HDR are priorities, the Hisense U7G outperforms the Vizio. However, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Vizio V-Series comes at a lower price, while still offering good overall picture quality. For movie enthusiasts, the Hisense provides a stronger movie experience with better contrast and local dimming features. On the other hand, if you often watch TV in bright rooms, while the Hisense is still a better performer, the Vizio does provide decent brightness. In sports viewing and for content like news, talk shows, and reality TV, the differences are less pronounced, but the Hisense still has a slight edge. Considering gaming, if that's a significant aspect for you, the Hisense's lower input lag and faster response time make it a clear winner. Remember, these advantages of the Hisense come at a higher price point compared to the Vizio, which despite being less performant, may offer sufficient quality for your needs at a more accessible price.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7G delivers better performance for movies and cinematic content, primarily because its local dimming feature enhances contrast and black uniformity, resulting in deeper black levels and more defined shadows. The Vizio V-Series, while providing very good colors out of the box, lacks a local dimming feature, meaning its contrast and black uniformity are not as capable, impacting the overall depth and detail in darker movie scenes.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7G offers good response time and input lag, essential for quick-paced gaming, while the Vizio V-Series lags behind with a poor response time, compromising the gaming experience despite having a good input lag. Additionally, the Hisense U7G's higher refresh rate contributes to smoother motion, making it better suited for fast-action games compared to the lower refresh rate of the Vizio V-Series.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both good for cartoons & animation, though the Hisense U7G (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7G offers good colors out of the box and a good color gamut, making on-screen animations vibrant and true to life. Meanwhile, the Vizio V-Series, with a very good color out of the box performance, may not display as wide a range of colors due to a lower color gamut, which can result in less vivid animation.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7G is better for watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs due to its very good upscaling and SDR brightness, which ensures clear visibility even in programs not broadcast in high definition and in well-lit rooms. In comparison, the Vizio V-Series, although offering very good colors out of the box, falls short with fair upscaling and poor SDR brightness, which can make details harder to see in bright rooms and lower quality content.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7G performs well in a bright room due to its very good SDR and HDR brightness and fair handling of reflections, which ensures a clearer picture even when ambient light is present. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series struggles in bright rooms because of its poor SDR and HDR brightness and fair reflection handling, which may lead to a less optimal viewing experience in well-lit conditions.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U7G offers good response time and motion processing, which are crucial for watching fast-paced sports, but its reflective screen can be challenging in brightly lit rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series has fair response time, which is less ideal for sports, and although it handles reflections better, its limited viewing angles can affect the viewing experience from the side. Both TVs have fair gray uniformity, which affects the appearance of large, uniform areas like sports fields.

"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.
