The Hisense U8H offers a significantly better overall picture quality, superior gaming performance, and enhanced viewing experience in both dark and bright rooms compared to the Vizio V-Series '22. If you enjoy movies and gaming and are comfortable with a midrange price, you'll find the Hisense U8H to be a great choice. However, the Vizio, being a budget option, costs less, but it has lower performance across most content and is not as well-suited for bright rooms or high-quality gaming experiences. Consider your budget and how important picture quality and gaming are to your viewing experience when making your decision. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U8H is better for gaming due to its higher response time and 120Hz screen refresh rate which provides a smoother and more responsive gaming experience, whereas the Vizio V-Series '22, despite its very good input lag that is important for gaming, is held back by its lower response time and 60Hz refresh rate which could result in more motion blur and less fluid gameplay.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8H provides a superior experience when watching cartoons & animation due to its 'very good' performance in colors out of the box and color gamut, which affects how vibrant and accurate the colors appear on screen. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22, while offering excellent colors out of the box, falls behind with a 'poor' color gamut, leading to less vibrant and diverse colors, thus accounting for its 'fair' performance in this viewing category.

The Hisense U8H excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and providing vibrant colors with its very good upscaling and color gamut, which enhances the clarity and appeal of news and other TV programs.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
