Our Verdict
Vizio M8 Series Quantum 2020
Hisense U7G
The Hisense U7G is much better than the Vizio M8 Series Quantum 2020. The Hisense has a much better local dimming feature but worse black uniformity. The Hisense is a lot brighter in both SDR and HDR, and small highlights stand out way better on the Hisense in some HDR content. Finally, the Hisense is better for gaming, with a 120Hz refresh rate and two HDMI 2.1 ports for next-gen consoles.
