Which is better for a bright room?

The Hisense. It is rated up to 1000 nits, and VIZIO does not publish a peak brightness figure for the VQM55C-10. Higher brightness holds up better against window light and glare.

Is the Hisense worth $177 more?

Only if you use Google TV, want Atmos sound with a subwoofer, or need the higher brightness. On picture fundamentals both are 55-inch 60 Hz Mini-LED QLED sets, so the VIZIO covers most viewers for less.

Which has better sound without a soundbar?

The Hisense. It has 10 W x 2 plus a 20 W subwoofer and Dolby Atmos. The VIZIO has 20 W total, so plan on a soundbar for movie nights.

Which is better for gaming?

The VIZIO on connectivity, with four HDMI 2.1 ports. Both are 60 Hz, so neither gives 120 Hz play. The Hisense adds Game Mode Plus for lower lag.

The VIZIO carries a five-year warranty, which is the clearer long-term commitment. Hisense does not state a warranty period in this listing.

Do both support Dolby Vision?

Yes. Both list Dolby Vision and HDR10+. The Hisense also lists Dolby Vision IQ and Dolby Vision Gaming.
