Choose the Hisense U8K if you prefer a TV with a significantly better picture quality, especially in dark and bright rooms. It also offers a superior gaming experience and sound quality, along with enhanced HDR capabilities. If your budget allows for a midrange price, the Hisense U8K is a great option. However, if you're looking for a TV at a lower midrange price point and can compromise on picture and sound quality, the Amazon Omni Series is less expensive. It does not perform as well as the Hisense U8K in dark or bright environments but could be a more cost-effective choice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8K stands out for watching news and TV programs due to its excellent SDR brightness and engaging color performance straight out of the box, contrasted to the Amazon Omni Series, which offers good SDR brightness but poorer color accuracy initially. These qualities, accompanied by effective upscaling, make the Hisense U8K more suitable for those environments, especially in brightly-lit rooms and when viewing lower-resolution content.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U8K (LCD) to be only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series struggles with sports viewing because it has poor reflections handling and only receives a fair assessment for response time, which is very important for fast-moving content like sports. In contrast, the Hisense U8K is rated higher for sport watching as it deals with reflections very good and has a better response time, leading to less motion blur during fast-paced activities.

"If you want a competent budget screen with some handy features, the Amazon Omni TV delivers an experience that punches well above its price tag. You’ll also get the benefit of Fire TV’s new UI right out of the box. It’s clean and simple to understand, plus it puts content first. In the picture-quality department, the Amazon Omni is a surprising star among some of its dimmer, less colorful rivals."

About Amazon
Amazon, the largest online retailer in North America, has forged partnerships with TCL and Hisense to produce white-label TVs incorporating their Fire OS software. These Amazon-branded TVs typically compete in the low-end and mid-range segments, offering compelling price points. Leveraging their strong reputation, Amazon has swiftly built brand trust in the TV market despite being relatively new to it. To enhance their popularity, these TVs integrate features from the Amazon ecosystem, including Alexa, providing users with a seamless and interconnected TV experience.
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.
