If you prioritize gaming and sports content, the LG UR9000 may be the preferred choice as it has better performance in these areas. However, the Amazon Omni Series offers a better experience for movies and darker room conditions. The LG fares better for bright room usage, but if you watch a lot of news, talk shows, or reality TV, the Amazon Omni Series is superior. The Amazon device is slightly more expensive. Both are in the lower midrange price category, so your decision should weigh your viewing preferences and room conditions against the price you're willing to pay. Give Feedback

The LG UR9000 (LCD) is only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series has poor performance for sports watching due to its slow response time and insufficient motion processing capabilities, which can result in more motion blur during fast action, as well as its poor handling of reflections which affects visibility in bright rooms. The LG UR9000, while fair for sports, handles reflections better and has fairly good response time and motion processing, leading to less motion blur, making it a more suitable choice for watching sports, particularly in well-lit environments.
The LG UR9000 (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Amazon Omni Series and the LG UR9000 both fall short in gaming due to their fair response times, which means they may not handle fast-moving images as smoothly as desired. While the input lag on the Amazon Omni Series is only fair, potentially leading to a delay between a button press and on-screen action, the LG UR9000 fares much better in this aspect, offering the best input lag performance for a more responsive gaming experience.

The Amazon Omni Series (LCD) and LG UR9000 (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The Amazon Omni Series struggles with displaying cartoons and animation because its out-of-the-box colors and color gamut are rated poorly, which impacts the vibrancy and range of colors shown. Similarly, the LG UR9000 displays poorer color gamut and only very good color out of the box, meaning the colors may not be as accurate or as vibrant as they should be for animated content.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Amazon Omni Series (LCD) to be only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series performs better for news and talk shows due to its better upscaling of lower resolution content and its higher SDR brightness, which makes it more suitable for watching daytime programming in brighter rooms. In contrast, the LG UR9000 struggles with upscaling and exhibits a lower contrast, which can result in a less clear image, especially in scenes with many dark and light areas.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Amazon Omni Series (LCD) to be only fair for bright room, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series has better SDR brightness which helps in a bright room and handles reflections more effectively than the LG UR9000, leading to clearer visibility in such conditions. The Amazon Omni Series' HDR brightness is not as good as its SDR brightness, but it still outperforms the LG UR9000, which has lower contrast and SDR and HDR brightness, making it less suitable for bright environments.
