The Vizio MQ6 '23 is a budget-friendly option with a good overall picture quality, making it suitable for most content in a darker room. It's also a decent choice for gaming and sports, though it may not excel in a very bright room. Its speakers are average, and while it supports HDR, it lacks advanced features like Dolby Vision.
On the other hand, the Hisense UX is a high-end model with an exceptional picture, particularly in dark rooms, and it handles reflections well for bright environments. It's also superior for gaming and sports, with better motion processing and a wider color gamut. The sound quality is better, and it includes Dolby Atmos. However, it's significantly more expensive and much larger, which might not suit everyone's space or budget.
Consider the Hisense for its premium performance and features if you have a larger budget and space, and prioritize a high-end viewing experience. Opt for the Vizio if you're looking for a more cost-effective TV that still offers good performance for general use. Give Feedback

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense UX excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its impressive contrast, effective local dimming, and superior black uniformity, providing deep blacks and a more immersive cinema-like experience. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23 falls a bit short in these areas, with lower contrast, less effective local dimming, and slightly inferior black uniformity, which can affect picture depth and overall movie-watching experience.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense UX is particularly suited for gaming due to its very good response time and good input lag, which means it reacts quickly to input and displays changes with minimal delay, essential for fast-paced gaming. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23 is considered fair for gaming because, while having very good input lag, its response time is just fair, which can result in slightly slower screen changes, impacting quick reflex games.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense UX is excellent for cartoons & animation due to its very good colors out of the box and excellent color gamut and color volume, which contribute to vibrant and consistent colors across different shades. The Vizio MQ6 '23, while still good, falls short in these aspects with only good performance for colors out of the box, very good color gamut, and good color volume, leading to slightly less impressive color reproduction.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense UX excels in upscaling lower resolution content and displays bright images clearly, vital for viewing detailed news content or talk shows, while the Vizio MQ6's good upscaling and acceptable brightness make it suitable but less impressive in comparison. Despite sharing similar performance in colors out of the box and color gamut, the Hisense UX's superior local dimming and contrast provide a more vivid and defined picture.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense UX is better for a bright room as it has top-tier brightness levels for both standard and high dynamic range content, and handles reflections very well, allowing for a clearer picture even in brightly lit environments. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23 has only good standard brightness and poor high dynamic range brightness, and its ability to handle reflections is just fair, which can result in a less clear picture in bright rooms.
