The LG UP7000 (LCD) is only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series has a fair response time, which can result in motion blur during fast sports scenes, and poor reflection handling, making it less suitable for well-lit rooms. In contrast, the LG UP7000, despite its poor response time, offers better viewing angles and fair reflection handling, which may be more forgiving in brighter rooms and if viewed from different positions.
The LG UP7000 (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Amazon Omni Series has a fair response time which may result in some motion blur during fast gaming scenes, and although it has a very good input lag performance, it may still not be ideal for competitive gaming. In contrast, the LG UP7000 has a poor response time, leading to more noticeable blur with fast-moving objects and it has the best input lag, which despite offering minimal delay in response to controls, doesn't compensate for the motion shortcomings.
