If you prioritize a higher overall picture quality for watching movies and series or plan on using your TV in a dark room, the Vizio MQ6 '23 could be a better choice, as it performs better in these conditions. However, if you're looking for a lower-priced option that still offers decent performance for general viewing, such as news, talk shows, and reality TV, then the Amazon Omni Series could be more suitable. Both TVs may not be the best choice for very bright rooms, but the Vizio has a slight edge in these environments. Keep in mind that the Vizio also has better reflection handling, which could be important if your viewing area has many light sources. Give Feedback
