The Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6K has a lower motion processing capability which might be a drawback for the fast-paced action seen in sports, although it compensates with slightly better reflection handling which makes it more suitable for bright rooms. The Vizio MQ6 '23, on the other hand, offers better motion processing which is a plus for watching sports but has a narrower viewing angle, so the picture quality may suffer when viewed from the side.

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.
