Choosing between the Vizio V-Series and the Hisense UX largely depends on your priorities and budget. The Vizio V-Series is a budget-friendly option with a fair overall picture quality, making it suitable for general viewing on a limited budget. It performs decently in a dark room and has good SDR brightness, but it may struggle in bright rooms due to its poor brightness and reflection handling. Gaming on this TV might not be ideal due to its poor gaming score, indicating higher input lag or less responsive gameplay. On the other hand, the Hisense UX is a high-end model with an excellent overall picture quality, especially shining in dark room performance thanks to its superior contrast and black uniformity. It's also a better choice for bright rooms, with its best-in-class brightness and good reflection handling. The Hisense UX offers a much better HDR experience, a wider color gamut, and significantly better motion handling, which makes it great for watching sports and movies. It's also more future-proof with its 120Hz screen and advanced gaming features, making it a solid choice for gamers. However, all these premium features come at a higher price point. In summary, if you're looking for an affordable TV primarily for casual viewing and aren't too concerned with bright room performance or advanced gaming features, the Vizio V-Series could be sufficient. However, if you want a top-tier viewing experience with excellent dark room performance, better bright room visibility, and superior gaming capabilities, and you're willing to invest more, the Hisense UX is the clear choice.

The Hisense UX (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Hisense UX (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense UX has a better response time and handles reflections better than the Vizio V-Series, making it more suitable for sports in environments with some light; however, its viewing angles are not significantly wider, which could limit the view for larger groups. The Vizio V-Series has poorer response time and reflection handling, and even narrower viewing angles, but both TVs have similar gray uniformity that is somewhat satisfactory for sports viewing.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX is better for gaming due to its very good response time, which reduces motion blur, and good input lag, which makes gaming more responsive, especially beneficial when playing fast-paced games. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series has poor response time, leading to more noticeable blur in fast-moving scenes, and its input lag performance, although rated as very good, might not offer the same seamless experience on a 60Hz screen compared to the 120Hz refresh rate on the Hisense UX.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is good.
The Hisense UX is better for cartoons and animation because it shows colors more accurately and vividly, while the Vizio V-Series falls short, especially in its limited color range, affecting its potential to display all the vivid colors typically used in animated content.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense UX performs very well for watching news and TV programs partly because it has excellent upscaling, ensuring that lower-resolution content looks crisp, and it comes with good colors out of the box, reducing the need for adjustments. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series, while having very good colors out of the box, offers inferior SDR brightness and lacks a local dimming feature, which can result in a less vibrant display and lower contrast in bright rooms.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX is better for watching TV in a bright room because it has the highest scores for SDR and HDR brightness, providing a clear picture even in well-lit conditions, and handles reflections very well. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series struggles in bright rooms due to its lower scores in SDR and HDR brightness and reflection handling, which could make the screen more difficult to view when there's a lot of ambient light.

"Vizio's cheapest 4K HDR TV packs in a lot for a low price. The voice control via the remote works well, about as well as Roku's version on devices that have it. So if you know your way around a TV menu, or want to be able to dial in the picture even on an inexpensive TV, the Vizio is the better choice"

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.
