Consider the Vizio D-Series if you're on a budget and need a TV primarily for casual viewing like news or talk shows, especially in a smaller space where its 32-inch screen won't feel too small. It's also a decent choice for a bright room due to its good reflection handling. However, it's not ideal for gaming, movies, or sports due to its lower overall picture quality and lack of advanced features. On the other hand, the Hisense UX is a high-end choice better suited for a larger, dimly lit room where its 85-inch screen and superior picture quality, including deep blacks and vibrant colors, will truly shine. It excels in gaming and watching movies or sports, offering a much smoother and more responsive experience. It also has better sound quality and supports more HDR formats, making it a versatile option for a premium home theater setup. However, it's significantly more expensive and might be overkill if you're not looking to take full advantage of its capabilities. Give Feedback

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio D-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense UX is better for watching movies and cinematic TV than the Vizio D-Series because it offers superior contrast and excellent local dimming, which enhances dark scenes and provides deeper blacks. While both TVs show colors well out of the box, the Hisense's black uniformity and better contrast ratio give it the edge, resulting in a more immersive viewing experience, even though the Vizio offers excellent color out of the box.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio D-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX is better for gaming because it has a very good response time and input lag, which means it's fast to display changes and react to input, which is crucial for gaming. In contrast, the Vizio D-Series has only fair scores in these areas, making it slower to respond and less ideal for gaming where speed and timing are very important..

The Hisense UX (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio D-Series (LCD) is good.
The Hisense UX is preferred for cartoons and animation because it showcases colors straight out of the box better than the Vizio D-Series, and it also has a superior color gamut, meaning it can display a wider range of colors more accurately. While both TVs have aspects like color volume, gray uniformity, contrast, and SDR brightness that are somewhat important, the clear advantage in fundamental color performance makes the Hisense UX a better fit for vibrant animated content.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio D-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense UX performs very well for news, talk shows, and TV programs partly because it has excellent upscaling quality and shines in terms of SDR brightness, making the picture clear and vivid even in well-lit rooms. In contrast, the Vizio D-Series, while offering great colors straight out of the box, falls short with its fair performance in upscaling and significantly lower SDR brightness, which means it may not be as suitable in brighter environments.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Vizio D-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX is superior for bright rooms due to its best SDR and HDR brightness levels and better handling of reflections compared to the Vizio D-Series, which exhibits poor brightness performance and only good reflection handling, making it less suitable for well-lit environments. While contrast, color volume, and color gamut are also factors to consider, their importance is secondary to brightness and reflection handling in this context.

The Hisense UX (LCD) and Vizio D-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense UX has better response time and handles reflections well, providing a clearer picture during fast-moving sports action and in rooms with many light sources, but it has a narrower viewing angle which can be an issue if you often watch from the side. On the other hand, the Vizio D-Series, despite having lower motion processing capabilities possibly leading to more motion blur during sports, offers decent handling of reflections and worse response time, and its viewing angles are also limited, so it's not ideal for larger groups spread out in a room.

"A Full HD TV that has the wits of most 4K TVs at a bottom-barrel price point. It has decent black levels thanks to its full array lighting and the above-par brightness will surprise you. Compared to the competition, the Vizio D-Series is probably the most affordable TV out there from a reputable manufacturer which makes it compelling."

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.
