If you prioritize gaming performance, the Hisense U7H may be a better choice as it offers superior gaming features. However, the Vizio MQ6 '23 is a more budget-friendly option and still performs well with movies, news, and animation. In bright rooms, both TVs offer similar performance, but the Hisense U7H would provide a slightly better experience. For dark room viewing, the Hisense also has a bit of an edge. It's important to note that the Hisense U7H is a 120Hz TV which may offer smoother motion for sports and action content compared to the Vizio's 60Hz. Additionally, both TVs support various HDR formats, but if having more HDMI ports is important to you, the Hisense provides four versus three on the Vizio. Give Feedback

The Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U7H has a poor response time and fair motion processing, impacting the fluidity and clarity of moving objects during sports, while its fair reflections handling and decent viewing angles offer average performance in varied lighting conditions and seating arrangements. Conversely, the Vizio MQ6 '23 has fair motion processing that might not handle fast sports action as smoothly as desired and struggles more with reflections and narrow viewing angles, yet it compensates with good gray uniformity, presenting a more consistent image across the screen.

How the Hisense U7H (LCD) and the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) compare to other TVs
"We loved the Hisense U7H. It was able to deliver an excellent all-around image quality in its price range. The TV excels at controlling its backlighting in a way that ensures you’ll never experience blooming to a level of being distracting, something that I was a little surprised to see given the lack of Mini LED. The TV doesn’t just get decently bright it offers relatively accurate color reproduction for a TV in this price range. The TV is being billed excellent for gaming."
