The Hisense U6K, being less expensive, is a solid choice if you're looking for good value while still getting a decent picture quality for various viewing content. However, if you are willing to invest more, the Vizio Quantum Pro generally offers superior brightness and color performance, which enhances the experience when watching movies or sports and especially benefits you in bright rooms. Keep in mind, if your primary use will be in a well-lit space or you prioritize a more vibrant picture, the extra cost for the Vizio may be justified. On the other hand, if budget is a major concern and you mainly watch in a darker environment, the Hisense U6K should suffice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K is better for movies and cinematic TV because it has a higher contrast ratio, which is very important for deep blacks and overall picture quality, along with better black uniformity to reduce cloudy spots in dark scenes. In comparison, while the Vizio Quantum Pro offers wider viewing angles, making it better for group watching, its lower contrast and black uniformity mean it's not as well-suited for darker movie content where these aspects are especially critical.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) offers better performance for gaming than the Hisense U6K (LCD) because it has a faster response time which makes motion look smoother and less blurry in fast-paced games, and less input lag which means the TV reacts quicker to your controls, especially important in competitive gaming environments. However, the Hisense U6K supports a higher refresh rate capability for gaming which can be beneficial for consoles and PCs that can output at higher frame rates, delivering a more fluid gaming experience.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6K is notably good for watching cartoons and animation due to its strong 'Colors Out of the Box' performance, suggesting minimal need for calibration for vibrant colors, combined with a very good color gamut which ensures a wide range of colors. The Vizio Quantum Pro, while also rated as having a very good color gamut, is considered only fair 'Colors Out of the Box', meaning the colors might not be as lively or accurate without calibration compared to the Hisense U6K.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K performs better in upscaling lower resolution content and delivers good colors out of the box, making it a more suitable choice for watching standard definition content like news and talk shows. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while offering very good SDR brightness which is beneficial in bright rooms, has weaker upscaling capability which may result in lower picture quality for lower resolution TV programs.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio Quantum Pro performs better in bright rooms than the Hisense U6K because it has both higher SDR and HDR brightness levels and handles reflections more effectively. While the Hisense U6K offers good performance for contrast, color volume, and color gamut, its fair reflection handling and lower brightness levels might reduce viewing quality in well-lit environments compared to the Vizio, which has very good capabilities in these areas.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6K might not track fast-moving sports action as smoothly due to lower motion processing capabilities and has limited viewing angles, making it less ideal for groups spread out across a room. On the flip side, the Vizio Quantum Pro handles reflections better, providing a clearer picture in bright rooms and offers wider viewing angles which is great for larger gatherings, but has slower response times that can make fast-paced sports appear less crisp. Both are compromised by only fair gray uniformity, which can affect the appearance of playing fields or courts.

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.
