The Amazon Omni Series may be more appropriate if you need a TV with a higher bright room performance for well-lit environments. However, the Vizio V-Series offers better overall picture and sound quality, making it a strong choice for watching movies and series. Both TVs might not be the best option for gaming due to their similar modest performance in that area. The Vizio V-Series also has an advantage with respect to black uniformity which is ideal for dark room viewing. If price is a concern, the Vizio V-Series tends to be less expensive and may give you a better value for your money. Neither model excels in local dimming or HDR brightness, so if these are critical features for you, you might want to consider other options. Both models have similar input lag performance, making them suitable for casual gaming but perhaps not for very competitive scenarios. Lastly, if you plan to connect multiple devices, the Amazon Omni Series comes with more HDMI ports. Give Feedback

The Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series struggles with movies and cinematic content primarily due to its lack of local dimming, affecting contrast and black uniformity, further accentuated by poor color performance out of the box, which diminishes the vibrancy and depth needed for cinematic experiences. The Vizio V-Series fares slightly better, offering more effective black uniformity and somewhat better color accuracy initially, providing a more consistent picture quality across different scenes, though it still lacks local dimming, limiting its overall contrast performance.

The Vizio V-Series (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series displays cartoons and animations poorly because it has poor color performance both out-of-the-box and in its color gamut, which are crucial for vibrant and varied colors in animated content. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series is considered good for cartoons and animations as it provides very good colors out-of-the-box despite having a poor color gamut, still enabling it to produce more accurate and appealing colors for such content.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Vizio V-Series (LCD) to be only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
Watching sports on the Amazon Omni Series may be less enjoyable because it struggles with handling motion due to its poor response time and motion processing, and it also has poor performance against reflections, affecting visibility in bright rooms. In comparison, the Vizio V-Series is marginally better at handling motion with fair motion processing and response time, but still has limitations in bright rooms and with fast-moving content, although it manages reflections slightly better than the Omni Series.

The Vizio V-Series (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV.
The Amazon Omni Series and the Vizio V-Series both display news and TV programs adequately due to their fair performance in upscaling lower-resolution content and maintaining a reasonable level of brightness in standard dynamic range (SDR), which is crucial for daytime viewing. However, both models have their limitations, with the Amazon Omni Series having less accurate colors straight out of the box, and the Vizio V-Series having a narrower color gamut and no local dimming, affecting the overall contrast and color richness of the image.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Amazon Omni Series (LCD) to be only fair for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series is better suited for bright rooms compared to the Vizio V-Series because it has good SDR brightness which makes it easier to see in well-lit conditions. However, both televisions are not ideal for very bright rooms as they have less effective handling of reflections, with the Omni Series rated poor and the Vizio V-Series slightly better at fair.

How the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) and the Vizio V-Series (LCD) compare to other TVs
"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."
"Vizio's cheapest 4K HDR TV packs in a lot for a low price. The voice control via the remote works well, about as well as Roku's version on devices that have it. So if you know your way around a TV menu, or want to be able to dial in the picture even on an inexpensive TV, the Vizio is the better choice"
