The Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is more affordable but won't provide as good a picture quality as the LG A1 (OLED), especially in a dark room where the LG A1 excels due to its perfect black levels. For sports, movies, and general viewing, the LG A1 also outperforms the Amazon Omni Series with a better viewing angle and motion processing capabilities, crucial for fast-moving content. However, if you're viewing in a bright room, the Amazon Omni Series has a slightly better performance and may be a more cost-effective option. Both models have similar sound quality and a low number of HDMI ports. If you watch a lot of content with HDR, like movies or gaming, the LG A1 has better support for formats like Dolby Vision. The Amazon Omni Series could be suitable if budget is a primary concern or if it's primarily used in well-lit environments. Give Feedback

The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series struggles with movies and cinematic TV due to lack of local dimming and lower black uniformity, leading to less impressive contrast and diminished dark scene details, which are very important for such content. In contrast, the LG A1 excels with perfect contrast and superior black uniformity thanks to its OLED technology, and also offers wider viewing angles and better color performance, making it more suitable for an immersive movie-watching experience.

The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The LG A1 excels in sports due to its excellent response time and motion processing capabilities, which reduce motion blur, and its wide viewing angles and effective reflections handling that maintain image quality from different perspectives. In contrast, the Amazon Omni Series struggles with these tasks due to its poorer motion handling and reflections performance, along with limited viewing angles that lead to a degraded experience when watching fast-paced sports content.

The LG A1 (OLED) is good for gaming, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The LG A1's OLED panel has an excellent response time and the best input lag performance, making fast-paced gaming smooth and responsive. In contrast, the Amazon Omni Series' LCD has a fair response time and very good input lag, which isn't as optimized for gaming and can result in slightly less fluid motion and slower reaction times.

The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The LG A1 (OLED) displays vibrant and diverse colors which make animations come alive, thanks to its very good color gamut and good color volume that help deliver more natural and wider range of colors. In contrast, the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) struggles with cartoons and animations as it has poor colors out of the box and poor color gamut leading to a less lively picture quality.

The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Amazon Omni Series delivers fair performance for watching news and talk shows as it has good upscaling and SDR brightness, but lacks local dimming which affects contrast display. On the other hand, the LG A1 excels in these uses, due to its exceptional contrast enabled by OLED technology and very good upscaling, although its SDR brightness is only fair.

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."
