If you're after a more affordable option, the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) generally comes with a slightly lower price compared to the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD). However, the Omni QLED delivers better contrast and color performance, which can enhance your viewing experience, particularly with movies and TV shows. For bright rooms, the Omni QLED has better reflection handling, so if you have a lot of daylight or indoor lighting, it would be more suitable. On the other hand, if saving money is your priority and you can manage with decent performance in a possibly brighter viewing environment, the basic Omni Series might be the way to go. Give Feedback

The Amazon Omni Series (LCD) has a price of $720 and the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) costs $600.
Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) to be only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series (LCD) displays weaker performance in sports viewing mainly due to its poor handling of reflections and poor motion processing, which can blur fast-moving objects, whereas the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD), despite fair handling of reflections and slightly better motion processing, is still limited by a narrow viewing angle and average gray uniformity, which could affect the view from the side and cause uneven shades across the screen during fast-action sports.

How the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) and the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) compare to other TVs
"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."
"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."
