However, if you have a limited budget and would like a more affordable option, the Amazon Omni Series may be more suitable, although it won't deliver the same level of picture quality and features as the Hisense U8H, particularly in terms of movement handling and contrast.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series is considered poor for watching sports due to its inferior motion processing, and fair viewing angles which can affect how clear the action looks, especially from different parts of the room. In contrast, the Hisense U8H offers better motion processing, leading to clearer fast action scenes, and better reflection handling which helps maintain a good picture even in brightly lit rooms.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series has fair response time and input lag, which may not be fast enough for competitive gaming, whereas the Hisense U8H is designed with very good response time and good input lag, making it more responsive and suitable for faster-paced games. Additionally, the Hisense U8H supports a higher refresh rate, beneficial for smoother gameplay, unlike the Amazon Omni Series, which has a lower refresh rate, potentially leading to less fluid motion in games.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series displays poor coloring for cartoons because it has inferior colors straight out of the box and a limited color gamut. In contrast, the Hisense U8H is excellent for animation due to its high-quality colors out of the box and a much wider color gamut, which are crucial for vibrant and diverse color representation in animated content.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8H inherently outperforms the Amazon Omni Series for news and TV programs, principally due to its excellent SDR brightness and robust upscaling that sharpen lower resolution content. On the other hand, the Amazon Omni Series displays content adequately but with less clarity in bright rooms, delivering merely good SDR brightness and weaker upscaling capabilities.

"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."

"Hisense is over here making the best TVs for the majority of average families. U8H is a juiced-up utility knife of a television that manages to do a lot of things pretty well. The brightness this TV is capable of pushing out means I can see everything going on in any video game I’m playing regardless of what time of day it is"

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
