The Hisense U8G is a midrange-priced TV with better overall picture quality and brighter rooms performance, making it suitable for sunny rooms. However, if the budget is a concern, the Vizio MQ6 is less expensive but may not perform as well in bright environments. So, if the budget allows and sunny room performance is important, the Hisense U8G is a strong choice. If cost savings are a priority and bright room performance is less critical, the Vizio MQ6 could fit better. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8G is better suited for gaming because it has a higher refresh rate which is beneficial for smoother motion and it also offers a faster response time and lower input lag, making it more responsive to gaming inputs. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23 has a lower refresh rate and its response time is less impressive, which might not be as satisfying for fast-paced gaming experiences.

In comparison, the Vizio MQ6 '23, while also offering a very good color gamut, is regarded as just good for colors out of the box, suggesting that colors may not be as lively or accurate prior to any potential adjustments.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) and Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U8G handles reflections better and has a faster response time which is crucial for fast-moving sports content. However, the Vizio MQ6 '23 has wider viewing angles and more consistent gray uniformity, which means you’ll get a more uniform picture when viewing from an angle, although its slower response time may result in motion blur during quick action.

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.
