Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U8H (LCD) to be very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8H excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its superior contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, which are crucial for deep blacks and detail in dark scenes, although its colors and viewing angles are somewhat less impressive. The Vizio P-Series also performs well for viewing movies and TV, largely due to its good contrast and local dimming, however, it falls a bit short in viewing angles and color volume compared to the Hisense U8H, possibly making it less suitable for wider seating arrangements.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and Vizio P-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U8H offers excellent motion processing which is crucial for sports; however, its viewing angles are limited, making it less ideal for wide seating arrangements. The Vizio P-Series, while providing very good reflections handling and fair gray uniformity for a consistent image, has poorer motion processing capabilities, which could affect the smoothness of fast-moving sports action.

Jaron Schneider | January 2023
"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"

"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."

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.
