Given your options, the Hisense U6H generally offers better performance, especially in dark rooms, which could enhance your movie-watching experience. It also has better sound quality, which is beneficial if you do not plan on using an external sound system. However, the Amazon Omni Series is typically more expensive, but its brighter room performance is slightly lower than the Hisense U6H. The price difference might not justify the overall picture quality and sound difference you get with the Hisense U6H, which is a more affordable yet higher performing option in many aspects. If you have a limited budget and want better overall performance, the Hisense U6H would be the better choice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6H exhibits excellent colors right out of the box and has a good color gamut, meaning it can display a wide range of colors effectively, which is crucial for bringing cartoons and animations to life. In contrast, the Amazon Omni Series displays poor color performance out of the box and also has a poor color gamut, resulting in a less vibrant and diverse color display for animated content.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H is very good for watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs primarily because it offers superior upscaling and SDR brightness, which are key for such content. In contrast, the Amazon Omni Series is just fair in these aspects, leading to a less optimized viewing experience for regular TV programs.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Amazon Omni Series may not be the best choice for bright rooms as it has poor HDR brightness and poor reflection handling, which means it won't remain as clear under bright lights. On the other hand, the Hisense U6H is better suited for bright rooms as it has fair HDR brightness and fair reflection handling, providing a clearer image when there's a lot of ambient light.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6H (LCD) to be only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series has fair response time, motion processing, and reflections handling but limited viewing angles, which makes it less suitable for watching sports, especially in groups and in bright rooms. In contrast, the Hisense U6H has poor response time, which can lead to motion blur during fast-paced games, although it's better than the Omni Series in reflections handling and viewing angles, offering a slightly more versatile viewing experience.

How the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) and the Hisense U6H (LCD) compare to other TVs
"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."
"A budget TV that exceeds expectations. (...) For a TV that costs as little as this one does, its brightness and color are above-average (...) The U6H may not get quite as bright as its splashier siblings, but for its class, it fares pretty well. (...) As far as input lag, the U6H is an impressive performer. (...) Costing less than most of its direct competitors, and matching or bettering them in several key areas, it’s an irresistible value proposition. (...)"
