The Amazon Omni Series is a more wallet-friendly option that still offers a decent viewing experience for everyday content like TV shows, news, and some casual movie watching. However, it is less suitable for a sunny room or for demanding gaming and might not be as future-proof. In contrast, the Hisense UX is pricier but is equipped with better technology for a high-quality picture, including a higher refresh rate ideal for sports and action-packed gaming. It also has a more advanced sound system with voice commands, making it better for an immersive movie experience and better suited for bright rooms. Give Feedback

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX offers a superior movie and cinematic TV experience with higher contrast, full-array local dimming, and excellent black uniformity which are crucial for deep blacks and shadow details, whereas the Amazon Omni Series falls short in these areas, impacting its ability to deliver the same level of picture quality, especially in dark scenes. Additionally, the Hisense UX has better color performance out of the box and a wider color volume, further enhancing its cinematic appeal, while the Amazon Omni Series has weaknesses in these categories that can lead to less vibrant and accurate colors.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series is considered poor for watching sports as it has a lower performance in response time and motion processing, resulting in less smooth action scenes, and it struggles with reflections which can be distracting. In contrast, the Hisense UX is rated fair for sports viewing because it handles motion and reflections better, and has a wider viewing angle, but it still exhibits some issues with gray uniformity which could slightly affect the appearance of sports fields or courts.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense UX delivers a better experience for watching news and TV programs, due to its superior SDR brightness and upscaling quality, which are very important for such content, ensuring clearer images and more vivid details. While both TVs handle colors well out of the box, the better color gamut and contrast on the Hisense UX also contribute to a more vibrant and lifelike picture compared to the Amazon Omni Series.
