The Hisense U8K (LCD) and Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Amazon Omni QLED struggles with motion processing, which is essential for smooth action during sports, and its reflection handling is only fair, potentially causing issues in well-lit rooms. The Hisense U8K offers better motion processing and very good reflection handling, providing a more comfortable viewing experience in various lighting conditions, yet both TVs have limited viewing angles which might affect the image for those sitting off to the side.

Tech Advisor
Jim Martin | April 2023
"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."

To enhance their popularity, these TVs integrate features from the Amazon ecosystem, including Alexa, providing users with a seamless and interconnected TV experience.
About Hisense
Hisense, a Chinese TV manufacturer, entered the US market in approximately 2011 and has since acquired TV divisions from various companies such as Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, and NEC.
