If you frequently watch movies or game in a dark room, the Hisense U7K provides better dark room performance and has a higher refresh rate, which is great for gaming. However, for general TV shows and in bright rooms, the Amazon Omni QLED performs well and is often less expensive. The Hisense U7K also has slightly better sound quality and includes voice commands, but if cost is a major factor, the Amazon Omni might be the better choice for mixed usage where high-end gaming performance is not a priority.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7K excels in upscaling content and displays brighter images in standard dynamic range (SDR) than the Amazon Omni QLED, which means watching news and talk shows will be clearer, especially in bright rooms. However, the Amazon Omni QLED shows good SDR brightness and upscaling, so it still provides a pleasant viewing experience but may not be as vibrant or as sharp in detail as the Hisense U7K in these particular settings.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) and Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
