If you're seeking a more budget-friendly option, the Amazon Omni Series may suit your needs, but it's not as well-rounded as the Samsung Frame Series, particularly in brighter rooms or for high-quality gaming. The Samsung Frame Series offers significantly better performance for gaming and sport content, a more vibrant color quality, and handles reflections better, making it a better choice for well-lit rooms. However, it comes at a higher price. Neither option excels in very dark room settings. Additionally, if you value a higher refresh rate for smoother motion, such as in fast-paced games or action scenes, the Samsung's higher rate could be beneficial. Give Feedback

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series falls short when watching movies and cinematic TV due to its subpar contrast, lack of local dimming, and unsatisfactory black uniformity, diminishing the depth and detail in dark scenes that are essential for a compelling movie experience. The Samsung Frame Series, while only rated fair, offers better contrast and black uniformity, with colors that are appealing straight out of the box, which can make the image pop more especially in well-lit scenes; however, like the Omni, it also lacks local dimming, which impacts the ability to produce true blacks.
