The Hisense U8G is a midrange TV that typically costs much more than the Vizio V-Series '22 but offers superior performance in most areas. It provides better overall picture quality, is more suitable for gaming due to its higher gaming score, and is better for watching movies. It also performs well in bright rooms and has good reflection handling. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series '22 is a budget-friendly option with decent performance for cartoons and animation, and it offers good color accuracy out of the box. However, it has limited brightness in dark rooms and may not handle reflections as well as the Hisense U8G. If you're looking for a TV with better gaming capabilities, movie watching experience, and use in bright rooms, the Hisense U8G is the stronger choice. If cost is a primary concern and you mostly watch general content or cartoons, the Vizio V-Series '22 could be suitable. Both TVs support essential HDR formats, but the Hisense U8G has a higher refresh rate (120Hz) which may be beneficial for fast-moving content and gaming. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U8G delivers superior performance for movies and cinematic TV due to its outstanding contrast, effective local dimming, and excellent black uniformity, which are essential for deep blacks and high picture quality in dark scenes. In comparison, the Vizio V-Series '22, while offering good colors out of the box, lacks local dimming and has lower contrast and black uniformity, which results in less impressive dark scene performance that is crucial for a cinematic experience.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U8G excels in gaming due to its higher response time, lower input lag, and faster refresh rate, all conducive to smoother gameplay and better handling of fast-moving images. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22, while having good input lag, offers a lower response time and a slower refresh rate, which can lead to less fluid motion and more blurring during action-packed gaming sessions.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8G is rated better for watching cartoons and animation due to its excellent colors out of the box and very good color gamut, ensuring that animated content appears vivid and accurate. In contrast, while the Vizio V-Series '22 also offers excellent colors out of the box, its poor color gamut results in a less vibrant and narrower range of colors, which can impact the viewing experience of colorful content like animation.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U8G excels in upscaling and SDR brightness, both very important for watching news, talk shows, and TV programs, ensuring clear images and good visibility in various lighting conditions.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U8G is better for bright rooms because it has a very good score for handling reflections and delivers very good brightness in both standard and high dynamic range content, enhancing visibility in well-lit environments. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 struggles in bright rooms due to its fair reflection handling score and only fair standard dynamic range brightness, combined with poor brightness for high dynamic range content that results in a less satisfying viewing experience in brighter settings.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) and Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.

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.
