The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The Vizio P-Series displays animation vividly with very good out-of-the-box colors and a wider color volume, enhancing the vibrancy and variety of colors. In contrast, the Hisense U7G, while offering good out-of-the-box colors, has a slightly more limited color volume, which may not reproduce the diverse tones in animation as richly as the Vizio.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and Hisense U7G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U7G has fair motion processing and response time, which means fast-moving sports can exhibit some blur, and its handling of reflections is only fair, potentially reducing visibility in bright rooms. The Vizio P-Series offers very good handling of reflections, which enhances visibility in well-lit environments, but has just fair response time for sports, leading to similar motion blur issues; additionally, both TVs have limited viewing angles, making them less ideal for groups spread out across a room.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U7G (LCD) to be very good for gaming, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7G stands out for gaming due to its good response time and input lag, which is crucial for fast-paced games, and it also has a 120Hz screen which is beneficial for smoother gameplay. While the Vizio P-Series is also good for gaming with its 120Hz screen and good input lag, its response time isn't rated as highly as the Hisense U7G.

About Hisense

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

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.
