The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8H boasts a very good response time, which means it can handle fast-moving scenes with less motion blur, making it a solid choice for gaming. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23, while having good input lag performance, offers only a fair response time, potentially leading to more noticeable motion blur during gaming sessions.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8H delivers colors that are very accurate straight out of the box and offers an excellent color gamut and volume, enhancing the vibrancy needed for cartoons and animation. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23 provides good color accuracy from the start and has a very good color gamut but falls short with only good color volume, slightly limiting its color richness compared to the U8H.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8H excels in upscaling lower resolution content which is common in news and standard TV programs, and its high SDR brightness ensures a clearer picture in most lighting conditions. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23 also provides good upscaling and acceptable SDR brightness, but it doesn't match the Hisense in these very important aspects.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8H is better suited for bright rooms because it has excellent SDR and HDR brightness, ensuring a clearer picture under different lighting conditions, and its reflections handling is very good, reducing glare. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23, while fair in bright rooms, has only good SDR brightness and poor HDR brightness, which may result in a less vibrant image, and its reflections handling is merely fair, potentially allowing more distractions from glare.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U8H has better reflection handling and a faster response time, making it a better option for watching sports in rooms with a lot of light or fast-moving content, whereas the Vizio MQ6 '23 struggles more with reflections and has a slower response time, which may lead to motion blur during fast sports action. Both TVs have fair viewing angles and gray uniformity, which means they will display consistent colors when viewed from different seats, but may show some uniformity issues across the screen during sports with large uniform colors like a football field or ice rink.

They offer exceptional value with TVs that often outperform their competitors at similar price points, making them a compelling choice for consumers.
