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

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) to be only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series has poor motion processing when watching sports due to slow response times and ineffective handling of fast movements, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 manages these factors better, leading to smoother action onscreen.

"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 Vizio
Vizio is an American company. While they initially gained recognition for offering budget-friendly TVs, they have successfully expanded their product lineup to include high-end options as well. They manufacture TVs primarily in Mexico, China, and Vietnam. Similar to many Korean TV brands, Vizio developed its own smart TV software called SmartCast. In the past, SmartCast was not the best smart TV software, but it has evolved so that it is now good for using your TV and connecting to streaming services.
