The Amazon Omni Series is often significantly less expensive compared to the Vizio M-Series. If you prioritize saving money while still getting a satisfactory experience for casual viewing or streaming services, the Amazon TV may suit your needs. However, if you prefer better overall picture quality, particularly in bright rooms and dark rooms, and are looking for a TV that offers a better gaming and movie-watching experience, the Vizio M-Series would be a better choice, although at a higher price. The Vizio TV also has slightly better sound quality but note that neither TV has great speakers built-in. Give Feedback

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series is considered poor for gaming largely due to its slow response time, which can lead to motion blur, affecting the clarity during fast-paced games. In contrast, the Vizio M-Series has a fair rating for gaming as it has better response time and very good input lag, making it more responsive for gaming, but still lacks the higher refresh rates desired by serious gamers.

The Vizio M-Series is rated very good for cartoons & animation due to its strong performance in colors out of the box and color gamut, ensuring vibrant and accurate colors. In contrast, the Amazon Omni Series is considered poor for this content because it does not perform as well in these critical areas, which may lead to less appealing color reproduction.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Amazon Omni Series delivers fair SDR brightness and poor upscaling which means it might not be as bright and crisp for standard news or talk show content, while color reproduction out of the box is also poor, affecting overall picture quality. In contrast, the Vizio M-Series offers good SDR brightness and very good colors out of the box, providing a richer and clearer viewing experience for similar content, along with better local dimming and contrast that enhance viewing quality.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Vizio M-Series (LCD) to be only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series has a poor performance in motion processing, which can lead to image blur during fast-paced sports, further impacted by its poor handling of reflections that can be distracting in well-lit rooms. The Vizio M-Series has a better motion processing rate and reflections handling, offering a clearer picture during sports; however, its narrower viewing angles and gray uniformity that is only slightly better than the Amazon Omni Series can limit the viewing experience from off-center positions..

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both only fair for bright room.
The Amazon Omni Series and Vizio M-Series both have fair performance in bright rooms due to their ability to handle reflections decently and maintain adequate brightness levels; however, while both TVs offer good SDR brightness, their HDR brightness and reflections handling are not as strong, which is a disadvantage for viewing in well-lit environments. The contrast on both is high, which is helpful, but the color volume and gamut are somewhat limited, potentially affecting color richness and vibrancy in bright conditions.

"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.
