The Amazon Omni Series offers a more budget-friendly option and decent overall picture quality. It's suitable if you primarily watch news, talk shows, or reality TV. However, its performance in dark rooms isn't as strong, and it may not be the best choice for intense gaming or watching sports.
On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro is a bit pricier but excels in several areas. Its better picture quality makes it a solid pick for movies and gaming due to its higher contrast and motion processing capabilities. It also performs well in both dark and bright rooms, so it can handle a variety of lighting situations.
If you prioritize gaming or movie-watching experiences and don't mind spending more, the Vizio Quantum Pro is a strong choice. However, if you're looking to save money and mainly watch TV shows or want a TV with decent performance without breaking the bank, the Amazon Omni Series is a capable alternative. Give Feedback

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series exhibits a subpar performance for movies because it lacks local dimming and has poor black uniformity, which are crucial for deeper blacks and better contrast in cinematic content. On the other hand, while the Vizio Quantum Pro also has challenges with black uniformity, it offers local dimming and a fair out-of-the-box color accuracy which helps it present a more enjoyable movie-watching experience.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series has a fair response time and poor motion processing, which can create blur during fast-moving sports scenes, while its viewing angles and ability to handle reflections are not conducive to watching with a group in a bright room. The Vizio Quantum Pro offers better response time and effective motion processing, leading to clearer action during sports, and its very good handling of reflections and wider viewing angles make it more suitable for group viewing in various lighting conditions.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series is considered poor for gaming primarily because it has a slower response time and only a fair input lag rating, not optimal for the quick reflexes required in gaming. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro is rated very good in gaming as it offers a very good response time and a good input lag rating, making it more responsive and better suited for fast-paced games.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series performs poorly with cartoons and animation due to its inferior colors out of the box and color gamut, which affects the vibrancy and variety of colors displayed. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro is considered good because it offers strong performance in these areas, meaning colors will appear more accurate and vivid without the need for calibration.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV, though the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Amazon Omni Series and Vizio Quantum Pro both have fair upscaling capabilities, meaning they may not display lower resolution content from news or talk shows as crisply as higher-end TVs. However, the Vizio Quantum Pro has a higher SDR brightness, which can make it more suitable for well-lit rooms, but neither has particularly effective local dimming, impacting their ability to display deep blacks and maintain contrast in darker scenes.
