The Amazon Omni QLED is less expensive and excels in showing movies, series, and cartoons, making it a good fit if you enjoy these types of content and prefer a more budget-friendly option. However, it's not the best in bright rooms and its gaming performance is only decent, so if these factors are important, this TV might disappoint.
The Hisense U8H costs more, but it provides a superior experience for gaming, with excellent picture quality and brightness that also makes it perform well in bright rooms. It's also a strong choice for movies and supports a higher refresh rate for smoother motion, but keep in mind that it comes at a higher price. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The Amazon Omni QLED displays news and talk shows well because it provides good SDR brightness and upscaling, which are vital for watching such content in their native quality, and it offers colors that look good straight out of the box. In contrast, the Hisense U8H excels in these areas with excellent SDR brightness and stronger upscaling capabilities, making it very good for clear and vibrant viewing of standard definition TV programs.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8H outshines the Amazon Omni QLED in bright rooms due to its superior handling of reflections and higher brightness in both standard and high dynamic range content, which is crucial for maintaining picture quality in well-lit environments. While the Omni QLED is also fairly capable with its reflection handling and achieves good SDR brightness, it falls short compared to the U8H, and these differences can significantly impact viewing experiences in bright rooms.

How the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and the Hisense U8H (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."
"Hisense is over here making the best TVs for the majority of average families. U8H is a juiced-up utility knife of a television that manages to do a lot of things pretty well. The brightness this TV is capable of pushing out means I can see everything going on in any video game I’m playing regardless of what time of day it is"
