The Amazon Omni Series is a more budget-friendly option with a reasonable overall performance, suitable if you're looking to save money. However, if a higher quality picture, especially in darker settings, and more advanced features like higher refresh rates for smoother motion in sports and gaming are priorities, you may find the additional cost of the Vizio P-Series worthwhile. The Vizio also generally provides better sound quality, but neither TV would outperform a dedicated speaker system. For very bright rooms, the Vizio P-Series' superior brightness may offer better visibility, while the Omni would serve well in less harsh lighting conditions. Give Feedback

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series struggles with movies and cinematic TV due to its lack of local dimming which impacts contrast and black uniformity, both critical for deep blacks and dark scene detail, and its colors out of the box and color volume are poor, leading to less vibrant and accurate colors. On the other hand, the Vizio P-Series performs well in these areas with effective local dimming, good contrast, and black uniformity for better dark room viewing, as well as superior color performance right out of the box, enhancing the overall movie-watching experience.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series performs poorly watching sports due to its challenged motion processing and response time, which can result in blur during fast-paced scenes, along with subpar handling of reflections and a limited viewing angle. In contrast, the Vizio P-Series is fair in sports viewing as it offers better motion processing and average response time, but still struggles with a narrow viewing angle and is only slightly better at handling reflections.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.

In contrast, the Amazon Omni Series LCD TV is rated as poor because it struggles with color accuracy and a more limited color gamut, affecting the liveliness and depth of animated content.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Amazon Omni Series delivers fair performance for news and TV programs due to less effective upscaling and a lower SDR brightness, which could affect clarity and detail in standard content, while the Vizio P-Series offers good performance, with better upscaling of lower-resolution content and higher SDR brightness for a more vivid viewing experience in bright living spaces.

"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."
"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."
