When deciding between the Amazon Omni Series and the Sony X77L, consider the following: If gaming is important to you, the Sony X77L has a higher performance for gaming. Furthermore, it excels in displaying sports content. For watching in bright rooms, the Amazon Omni Series offers slightly better performance. However, in dark rooms, its performance is not as strong as in bright conditions. With the Sony X77L, you would have access to newer technology as it's released two years after the Amazon Omni Series, and it has better quality control and assurance. The Amazon Omni Series does not support HDR10+, whereas the Sony X77L does not support Dolby Vision. If a specific HDR format is important to you, this could influence your decision. The Sony offers voice command features for accessibility and slightly more powerful speakers, which might enhance your viewing experience. Give Feedback

The Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series struggles with sports viewing mainly because it has a poor response time and no motion processing capability, which can result in motion blur, and its poor handling of reflections and narrow viewing angles might reduce visibility when watching from an angle or in a well-lit room. On the other hand, the Sony X77L performs better for sports with a fair rating in motion processing, which reduces motion blur, and better viewing angles that offer a clearer picture when viewed from different positions in the room.

The Amazon Omni Series has better black uniformity, important for movie-watching in dark scenes, but struggles with contrast, which could result in less dramatic dark images.

The Sony X77L (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Amazon Omni Series displays a poor response time which leads to motion blur that could be distracting while gaming. While both the Amazon Omni Series and Sony X77L have very good input lag which is ideal for gaming, their poor response time makes them less suitable for fast-paced gaming where quick screen updates are critical.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X77L (LCD) to be only fair for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series displays subpar colors straight out of the box and has a poor color gamut which affects its ability to reproduce the vivid colors typically found in cartoons and animation. Conversely, the Sony X77L offers very good performance for colors out of the box, but it also has a limited color gamut, hence its color production is considered fair, which is better than the Omni Series but not ideal.

The Sony X77L (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV.
The Amazon Omni Series has good upscaling of lower resolution content and adequate SDR brightness, making it suitable for news and talk shows, but it may fall behind in color performance, having poor scores in color out of the box, color gamut, and no local dimming to enhance contrast. In contrast, the Sony X77L also offers good upscaling and SDR brightness, and while it has very good colors out of the box, its color gamut is still poor, and its local dimming score, although present, is low, which affects the depth of blacks and overall contrast.

"If you want a competent budget screen with some handy features, the Amazon Omni TV delivers an experience that punches well above its price tag. You’ll also get the benefit of Fire TV’s new UI right out of the box. It’s clean and simple to understand, plus it puts content first. In the picture-quality department, the Amazon Omni is a surprising star among some of its dimmer, less colorful rivals."

"For an entry-level model, Sony’s X77L is a decent 4K TV. It’s color reproduction, along with crisp and clean picture images revealed plenty of detail and clarity thanks in part to Sony’s excellent video processing."
