If you frequently watch movies or game in a dark room, the Hisense U7K provides better dark room performance and has a higher refresh rate, which is great for gaming. However, for general TV shows and in bright rooms, the Amazon Omni QLED performs well and is often less expensive. The Hisense U7K also has slightly better sound quality and includes voice commands, but if cost is a major factor, the Amazon Omni might be the better choice for mixed usage where high-end gaming performance is not a priority.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7K excels in upscaling content and displays brighter images in standard dynamic range (SDR) than the Amazon Omni QLED, which means watching news and talk shows will be clearer, especially in bright rooms. However, the Amazon Omni QLED shows good SDR brightness and upscaling, so it still provides a pleasant viewing experience but may not be as vibrant or as sharp in detail as the Hisense U7K in these particular settings.

Tech Advisor
Jim Martin | April 2023
"This really is a TV designed for the streaming generation ... And it’s good to see support for both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision because it means more of the content you stream will be available in HDR. Overall, the Omni QLED is an impressive TV. It’s pretty bright, has good contrast and – thanks to those quantum dots – vibrant colours."

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.

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.

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.
