If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Amazon Omni Series is significantly less expensive and offers a decent viewing experience for casual content like news and animations. It doesn't excel in dark rooms or with fast-moving content like sports. On the other hand, the Samsung Q80C costs more, but it provides a superior experience with enhanced picture quality, better performance in bright rooms, and for gaming due to its higher refresh rate. Its wider viewing angles also make it more suitable for group watching, and it supports voice commands for accessibility. Consider how much you're willing to invest and what you watch most.

The Samsung Q80C (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series is considered poor for movies and cinematic TV primarily because it lacks a local dimming feature, which significantly affects its contrast and black uniformity, leading to less immersive dark scenes. In comparison, the Samsung Q80C offers fair performance with its local dimming that enhances contrast and black uniformity, but it still falls short in terms of black uniformity and viewing angles, limiting its appeal for critical movie-watching in wider seating arrangements.

The Samsung Q80C (LCD) is only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series (LCD) struggles with watching sports primarily due to poor motion processing and reflections handling, which can cause blur with fast-moving content and be problematic in well-lit environments. In contrast, while the Samsung Q80C (LCD) has better motion processing and a faster response time, which is crucial for a clearer picture during quick movements, its reflections handling is still poor, meaning it also might not be ideal in bright rooms.

The Samsung Q80C (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q80C provides a better experience for watching cartoons and animation due to its good color gamut, which ensures vibrant and diverse colors, and a higher color volume that allows it to display a wide range of hues at different brightness levels. In contrast, the Amazon Omni Series struggles with colors out of the box, leading to less accurate colors initially, and a poor color gamut, which means it cannot produce as wide a spectrum of colors, making animated content look less lively.

The Samsung Q80C (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Amazon Omni Series offers fair performance for watching news and TV programs due to good SDR brightness which ensures visibility in well-lit rooms and adequate upscaling that maintains clarity with lower resolution content. The Samsung Q80C, however, provides a better experience with very good SDR brightness, enhancing visibility in even brighter rooms, along with better upscaling for a clearer picture, and a wider color gamut for more vibrant colors that stand out more straight out of the box.

In the picture-quality department, the Amazon Omni is a surprising star among some of its dimmer, less colorful rivals."
