The Amazon Omni QLED may cost somewhat less and offers a broadly comparable picture quality for movies, news, and animation, making it a solid choice for a variety of content. However, its performance in bright rooms and for gaming is weaker than the Hisense U7H.
The Hisense U7H, though often slightly more expensive, excels in gaming due to its higher refresh rate and lower input lag, making it an excellent choice for gamers. Additionally, it performs better in bright rooms, which could be beneficial if you plan to watch TV in well-lit conditions. Both TVs do not have great speakers, so for improved audio quality, consider adding external speakers to either option. Give Feedback

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Amazon Omni QLED has "fair" response time and motion processing, which could affect fast-moving scenes in sports, but manages reflections well, maintaining visibility in bright rooms. The Hisense U7H, though sharing a "fair" performance in handling reflections and motion processing, is hindered by "poor" response time, potentially causing more blur during fast action.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) to be very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The Amazon Omni QLED TV is better for watching cartoons and animation than the Hisense U7H due to its more accurate colors right out of the box and wider range of colors, making images pop and look more vivid. However, the Hisense U7H still holds its own with decent color accuracy and a very good color gamut, ensuring that animations are visually appealing, albeit not as vibrant as on the Amazon Omni QLED.

How the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and the Hisense U7H (LCD) compare to other TVs
"This really is a TV designed for the streaming generation ... And it’s good to see support for both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision because it means more of the content you stream will be available in HDR. Overall, the Omni QLED is an impressive TV. It’s pretty bright, has good contrast and – thanks to those quantum dots – vibrant colours."
"We loved the Hisense U7H. It was able to deliver an excellent all-around image quality in its price range. The TV excels at controlling its backlighting in a way that ensures you’ll never experience blooming to a level of being distracting, something that I was a little surprised to see given the lack of Mini LED. The TV doesn’t just get decently bright it offers relatively accurate color reproduction for a TV in this price range. The TV is being billed excellent for gaming."
