If you prioritize overall picture quality, particularly for movies, and if you're watching in rooms that are sometimes dark, the Vizio M-Series might be the better option. It offers better performance for contrast, dark room viewing, and movie experiences.
On the other hand, the Hisense A6H is more budget-friendly and still offers reasonable performance for gaming, sports, and cartoons and animation, which may be suitable if your viewing habits are casual and you want to save money. However, it won't perform as well in bright rooms and is not optimal for dark-room viewing.
Both TVs have similar input lag, making them decent for gaming, but the Vizio has marginally higher picture quality for dynamic content like sports and movies in mixed conditions. Give Feedback

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H is rated poorly for gaming largely due to its response time and input lag, which are critical for a smooth gaming experience. On the other hand, the Vizio M-Series is considered fair for gaming, indicating it has relatively better response time and input lag, making it more suitable for gamers.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H struggles with cartoons and animation due to its poor color gamut, which translates to less vivid and diverse colors, whereas the Vizio M-Series excels in this area with a very good color gamut that enables richer and more accurate colors. Additionally, despite both TVs having very good colors out of the box, the better color volume of the Vizio M-Series means it can display a wider range of colors at different levels of brightness, further enhancing the animation viewing experience.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H struggles with upscaling lower-resolution content and has poor SDR brightness, which can impact the viewing experience for news, talk shows, and regular TV programs. The Vizio M-Series, on the other hand, has better performance in these areas with good SDR brightness and upscaling, delivering a clearer and brighter image for such content.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is only fair for bright room, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H struggles in bright rooms due to its poor SDR and HDR brightness and just fair reflections handling which reduces visibility when competing with ambient light. Conversely, the Vizio M-Series performs better in brighter settings, owing to its good SDR brightness that helps maintain picture visibility and similarly fair performance in managing reflections.

The Hisense A6H (LCD) has a price of $498 and the Vizio M-Series (LCD) costs $625.
The Vizio M-Series (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A6H and Vizio M-Series both have fair performance for watching sports; the Hisense A6H benefits from wider viewing angles which is good for group viewings but struggles with response time and motion processing potentially leading to motion blur in fast-paced games, whereas the Vizio has better response time which is great for fast motion in sports but has more limited viewing angles which might not suit wide seating arrangements. Both TVs handle reflections decently and have fair gray uniformity, meaning neither is likely to distract during a game, but reflections might still be noticeable in very bright rooms.

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.
