If you prefer a TV that offers a better experience when viewing in a darker room and has a higher overall picture quality, the Hisense U6G would be the better choice. It also has a slight edge for gaming due to a quicker response time. On the other hand, if you want a TV with better smart features, including tighter integration with Alexa and a smoother interface, the Amazon Omni Series may suit you better. However, you should note that neither TV is particularly well-suited to very bright rooms, and both perform similarly when watching movies or sports. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6G delivers better performance for movies and cinematic TV with its superior local dimming and black uniformity, which are crucial for deeper blacks and high contrast scenes, while the Amazon Omni Series falls short in these areas, compromising the depth and detail in darker content. Additionally, the Hisense offers a better color volume, enhancing the vividness and accuracy of colors in various lighting conditions, unlike the Amazon Omni Series which struggles with color reproduction.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series has fair response time and very good input lag, which contributes to its poor gaming performance because response time is critical for fast-moving scenes and input lag for quick reactions. The Hisense U6G, however, has good response time and the best input lag, making it fair for gaming, since these attributes are vital for smooth gameplay and responsive control.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series shows poor performance with cartoons and animation due to subpar colors straight out of the box and a limited color gamut, while the Hisense U6G delivers a very good experience with vibrant colors instantly and a wider range of colors to bring animated content to life. The difference in color volume and gray uniformity between the two TVs also plays a role, with the Hisense U6G providing better color richness and more consistent grays, although contrast and SDR brightness are less influential but still lean in favor of Hisense U6G for animation viewing.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G, with its higher SDR brightness and local dimming feature, offers clearer, more vibrant picture quality, especially important during daytime viewing for news and talk shows, compared to the Amazon Omni Series, which has lower SDR brightness and lacks local dimming, affecting its ability to present deep blacks and bright scenes effectively.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6G (LCD) to be only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series and Hisense U6G both have response times that are not ideal for fast-moving sports content, with the Amazon TV rated as fair and the Hisense additionally struggling with motion processing. While the Hisense TV provides better reflection handling compared to the poor performance of the Amazon, both have restrictive viewing angles which can limit the experience from off-center positions.

"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."

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.
