Which is better for gaming?

The Hisense 40QD4SF lists a 16ms game mode input lag and MEMC, so it is the safer pick for console play. The VIZIO has Auto Low Latency Mode but does not publish a lag figure.

Is the bigger VIZIO worth it over the Hisense?

Yes for most buyers. The VIZIO gives you 3 more inches of screen and costs $148 at Walmart versus $169.99 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026.

Do either of these have 4K?

No. Both are 1920x1080 Full HD. The Hisense lists 4K upscaling, which sharpens lower-resolution content but does not add 4K detail.

Which has better streaming apps?

The Hisense runs Fire TV, which most people already know. The VIZIO runs VIZIO OS with WatchFree+ free channels and needs a Walmart account for smart features and updates.

Neither maker publishes a lifespan figure, so there is no clear winner. Both are budget 1080p sets; check the warranty terms at the store before buying.

Can I cast from my phone to either one?

The VIZIO supports Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Cast. The Hisense spec sheet does not list casting, so plan on the Fire TV apps instead.
