If you prioritize a superior gaming experience and overall picture quality in various lighting conditions, the Hisense U8K could be a great choice, though it comes at a higher price. It also has better speakers and is well-suited for dark rooms due to its excellent black uniformity. On the other hand, if you're looking to save money and you value decent picture quality without the high-end gaming features, the Vizio Quantum Pro could satisfy your needs. While not as bright or contrast-rich as the Hisense, it's still a good fit for a variety of content, including movies and cartoons, and it's relatively capable in bright rooms. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8K (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8K has a superior contrast ratio and black uniformity, which are crucial for watching movies and cinematic TV in dark rooms, providing deep blacks and a more immersive experience. Meanwhile, the Vizio Quantum Pro, despite its decent performance, falls short in these key areas, leading to less impressive dark scene reproduction.

The Hisense U8K (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8K is excellent for watching cartoons & animation due to its very good colors out of the box and a very good color gamut that contributes to bright and vibrant images. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro is good for these genres because it delivers fair colors out of the box and a very good color gamut, but it may not present cartoons as vividly as the Hisense.

The Hisense U8K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8K excels in news, talk shows, and TV program viewing due to its excellent SDR brightness and very good upscaling, allowing for clearer images even at lower resolutions – an advantage in delivering crisp content on standard broadcasts. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro, despite its very good SDR brightness and fair upscaling, may not render such content as sharply or with such high contrast, affecting its ability to display finer details inherent in these types of programs.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Hisense U8K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U8K struggles with motion processing which is crucial for fast-moving sports content but has a better response time which minimizes blur; however, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while offering wider viewing angles helpful for group watching, has challenges with slower response time, affecting fast-action clarity. Both TVs have very good reflection handling which is important for bright rooms, but their fair motion handling capabilities and just adequate gray uniformity may distract from the sports-watching experience.

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.
