The Hisense U8G is a midrange option that tends to be more expensive, but it offers significantly better overall picture quality, making it a better choice for movies, gaming, and use in both bright and dark rooms. On the other hand, the Amazon Omni Series is less expensive and performs decently for everyday content like news, talk shows, and animation, but it doesn't fare as well with intense gaming or cinematic experiences, particularly in dark rooms. In terms of features, the Hisense U8G has better local dimming, HDR brightness, color accuracy, and motion processing, which are important for a high-quality viewing experience, especially in HDR content. It supports advanced gaming features with a higher refresh rate suitable for smoother gameplay. While the Amazon Omni Series will save you money, for a premium viewing experience, especially if gaming or watching movies is a priority, the Hisense U8G is the more capable TV. However, if you are needs aren't as demanding, or budget is a major consideration, the Amazon Omni Series could be sufficient. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.

"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 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.
