The Hisense U8K is a midrange price TV that typically costs much more than the Vizio V-Series '22. It provides better overall picture quality, especially in bright rooms, and has superior gaming performance due to a higher response time and lower input lag, making it a great choice for gamers. The Hisense U8K also features great speakers, various HDR formats including Dolby Vision, and has a miniLED FALD VA screen which is beneficial for contrast and black levels. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series '22 is a budget-friendly option that costs much less. It has a lower picture quality overall and doesn't perform as well in bright environments or for gaming. It also lacks local dimming, which can affect the depth of black colors in your image. However, it still supports various HDR formats and could serve well for general TV watching or in rooms that aren't overly bright. If quality and gaming are your priority and you're willing to pay a premium, the Hisense U8K would be a better choice. If you're looking for something more economical and for casual viewing, the Vizio V-Series might suffice. Give Feedback

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.
