If saving money is your top priority, the Samsung N5200 could be the right choice. However, the Amazon Omni Series offers slightly better picture quality and sound. The Omni Series also has more HDMI ports, which is better if you plan to connect multiple devices, and supports 4K resolution, a step up from the Samsung's 1080p. The Samsung N5200 does perform better in bright rooms, but if you're interested in future-proofing with higher resolution and slightly improved audio and picture quality, the Amazon Omni Series might be worth the extra cost. Both have limitations for gaming and watching sports, but for general TV watching and as a budget-friendly option, the Samsung N5200 does the job well. Give Feedback
