The Hisense U6H is a budget-friendly option and performs well across a variety of content like movies, series, and animation. It's also a good choice for use as a monitor and offers excellent color out of the box. However, it may not be the best for bright rooms or for watching sports.
The Vizio P-Series costs more, but offers better overall picture quality and performance for bright room viewing, which could be important if you tend to watch TV in well-lit environments. It also has a higher gaming score, suggesting a more responsive experience for gamers. However, note that the TV's sound quality and upscaling are not as strong as the Hisense.
If budget is a key concern and you primarily watch movies, the Hisense U6H would be a solid choice. If you're willing to invest more for better gaming performance and bright room viewing, consider the Vizio P-Series. Give Feedback

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H has a poor response time, which is less ideal for gaming as it can lead to motion blur, whereas the Vizio P-Series, having a fair response time, offers clearer motion clarity, important for fast-paced gaming. Additionally, the Hisense U6H boasts very good input lag performance, meaning less delay between your input and the action on screen, but the Vizio P-Series, with good input lag performance, provides a slightly more responsive experience which is crucial for reactive gaming.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6H excels in upscaling lower-resolution content which is common with regular TV programs and news, also providing excellent colors out of the box for a vibrant display. In comparison, the Vizio P-Series offers superior SDR brightness, enhancing the visibility in bright room conditions but does not perform as well in upscaling and has just good colors out of the box.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The Vizio P-Series performs better in bright rooms primarily because it has higher SDR and HDR brightness, which means it can produce brighter images that stand out more clearly in well-lit environments. Additionally, the Vizio P-Series has superior reflections handling, ensuring that ambient light is less likely to cause glare on the screen, in contrast to the Hisense U6H, which has lower brightness capabilities and reflection handling.
The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) both have good picture quality.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6H has a poor response time which can result in motion blur during fast sports scenes; however, it handles reflections fairly well, which is good for bright rooms. The Vizio P-Series has a better response time, reducing motion blur making it good for sports, but limited viewing angles and reflections performance may hinder the experience from off-center seats and in well-lit spaces.

How the Hisense U6H (LCD) and the Vizio P-Series (LCD) compare to other TVs
"A budget TV that exceeds expectations. (...) For a TV that costs as little as this one does, its brightness and color are above-average (...) The U6H may not get quite as bright as its splashier siblings, but for its class, it fares pretty well. (...) As far as input lag, the U6H is an impressive performer. (...) Costing less than most of its direct competitors, and matching or bettering them in several key areas, it’s an irresistible value proposition. (...)"
"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."
