If gaming is a priority, the Hisense U8H offers a superior experience with better response time and lower input lag. For watching movies and series, the Hisense also stands out with higher performance. In bright rooms, both TVs will have good visibility, but the Hisense U8H has a slight advantage. However, the Vizio M-Series is better for upscaling lower resolution content and offers marginally better sound quality. If your budget allows and you prefer a sharper gaming and movie experience, especially in a well-lit room, the Hisense U8H would be a better fit. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and Vizio M-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U8H sports a very good response time which is beneficial for watching fast-paced sports, but its limited viewing angle could reduce the quality of the experience for viewers sitting off to the side. The Vizio M-Series, while having fair motion processing which is slightly less smooth for sports, handles reflections less effectively than the Hisense U8H, making it less suitable for brightly lit rooms.

"Hisense is over here making the best TVs for the majority of average families. U8H is a juiced-up utility knife of a television that manages to do a lot of things pretty well. The brightness this TV is capable of pushing out means I can see everything going on in any video game I’m playing regardless of what time of day it is"

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.
