If you prioritize gaming and generally prefer higher picture quality, the Samsung Q70A is the better option. This TV offers better performance in gaming, sports, and also does well in both dark and bright environments. However, it costs more than the Amazon Omni Series. On the other hand, the Amazon Omni Series is more budget-friendly but has lower picture quality overall. It's still decent for watching news, reality TV, and animation, and it supports Dolby Vision which the Samsung does not. The Omni performs acceptably in a bright room too, but it's not as good in a dark room or for sports content. Both TVs have similar HDMI port options and neither have great built-in speakers. If having a TV that is better for gaming, sports viewing, and offers overall higher picture quality, especially in varied lighting conditions, the extra expense for the Samsung Q70A may be justified. However, for cost-sensitive buyers who value smart features and Dolby Vision support for streaming content, the Amazon Omni Series is a suitable choice. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series struggles with watching movies & cinematic TV largely due to its lack of local dimming and only fair black uniformity, failing to produce deep blacks essential for good contrast. In comparison, the Samsung Q70A fares better thanks to its better contrast capabilities and superior black uniformity, although it still lacks local dimming which can hinder peak cinematic quality.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series has poor motion processing and reflections handling, which can lead to blurry images during fast-moving scenes and difficulty in seeing the screen clearly in well-lit environments when watching sports. On the other hand, the Samsung Q70A displays relatively clearer motion with better processing and is less affected by reflections, although its viewing angles and gray uniformity, which are important for sports viewing, are only fair, not significantly standing out in these aspects.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q70A is rated higher for gaming because it has superior response time and the best input lag performance, meaning it processes gaming inputs more quickly and displays fast-moving content with less blur. In contrast, the Amazon Omni Series shows slower response and only fair input lag, resulting in less ideal gaming performance with potentially more noticeable delays and motion blur.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q70A displays cartoons and animation very well due to its very good color performance right out of the box and a good color gamut, ensuring vibrant and accurate colors. In contrast, the Amazon Omni Series underperforms in this regard because it has poor color accuracy initially and a poor color gamut, resulting in less vivid and precise color representation.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q70A has better SDR brightness, making it suitable for brighter rooms and enhancing clarity when watching news or talk shows, and it offers superior colors out of the box, which means less adjustment for a natural picture. In contrast, the Amazon Omni Series has lower SDR brightness, which could make it less ideal in well-lit environments, and its colors out of the box are not as accurate, potentially requiring more fine-tuning for an optimal viewing experience.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q70A is better suited for bright rooms compared to the Amazon Omni Series because it has higher SDR and HDR brightness, which makes the picture stand out even in well-lit environments, and it handles reflections more effectively. Both TVs have a similar color volume and color gamut, which are somewhat important, but the superior contrast of the Samsung Q70A also contributes to a more vivid picture in bright settings.

"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."
