If you're looking for a good balance between price and performance for a variety of content, the Hisense U7K could be a solid pick, especially if cost is a major consideration. It performs well for movies, sports, and gaming. However, the Vizio P-Series offers advantages for premium picture quality in both dark and bright rooms, making it suitable for high-end home theater setups, but this comes with a higher price tag. If you frequently watch TV in a bright room, the Vizio's superior handling of reflections and its higher brightness could be significant advantages. Give Feedback

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and Hisense U7K (LCD) are both very good for bright room, though the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7K and Vizio P-Series both excel in bright rooms due to their impressive SDR and HDR brightness, ensuring that the image remains clear even in well-lit environments, and their excellent ability to handle reflections, minimizing the distraction of lights and objects in the room. However, while both offer good contrast, color volume, and color gamut, the Vizio P-Series has a slightly higher contrast ratio which might provide a better viewing experience in mixed lighting conditions.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U7K (LCD) to be very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7K delivers a very good contrast and excellent black uniformity, which is crucial for watching movies and cinematic TV, providing deep blacks for a rich picture. The Vizio P-Series, while offering a slightly better contrast, falls behind in black uniformity compared to the Hisense, which may result in less consistent dark scenes but it still maintains good picture quality with vibrant colors out of the box and a solid color volume.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) and Vizio P-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U7K and the Vizio P-Series both perform similarly in sports viewing due to their motion processing and reflections handling being rated as 'Very Good,' which is crucial for fast-paced games and watching in rooms with lights or windows. However, the Hisense has a slight edge in response time, which is very important for clarity during fast movements, but both TVs have similar viewing angles and gray uniformity, where the Vizio lags slightly behind in both, indicating the on-screen uniformity of colors in sports fields may not be as even across the screen.

Tom's guide
Brian Westover | October 2021
"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."

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.
