If you're interested in a good gaming experience and better motion processing, consider the Sony X80K. It also has a higher score for sports content, which suggests it may provide better performance for fast-moving scenes and a wider viewing angle, beneficial if you watch TV with a group. However, if you prioritize a better experience for movies, news, and general TV watching in both bright and dark rooms, the Amazon Omni Series might be more suitable. Its overall picture quality in bright rooms is marginally better. Both TVs have a lower midrange price, but the Amazon is generally less expensive than the Sony. Neither excels in dark room performance, so if you often watch in a dark environment, neither might be ideal. The Amazon Omni lacks some gaming features that the Sony has, like a higher response time and lower input lag, making the Sony a better fit for gamers. Neither has great speaker systems, so you might consider an external sound solution for optimal audio. Give Feedback

The Sony X80K (LCD) is good for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X80K excels at watching sports because it has excellent motion processing capabilities, allowing for smooth action sequences with minimal blur, and good reflections handling to maintain a clear picture in various lighting conditions. In contrast, the Amazon Omni Series struggles with sports due to poor motion processing, which can result in more blur during fast-paced scenes, and it has inferior reflection handling, which might be problematic in brightly lit rooms.

The Amazon Omni Series displays poor colors out of the box and a poor color gamut, making it less suitable for the vibrant and varied hues typically found in cartoons and animation.

The Amazon Omni Series (LCD) and Sony X80K (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The Amazon Omni Series suffers during movie viewing due to its lack of local dimming and lackluster black uniformity, which are crucial for achieving deep black scenes, while the Sony X80K struggles with poor contrast and local dimming, resulting in less vibrant images during dark movie scenes. Both TVs also have limited color performance out of the box and viewing angles which could affect the movie-watching experience if not viewed straight-on.

"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."

"The Sony Bravia X80K is an inexpensive LCD TV that turns out pleasing visuals and is armed with a number of other desirable features. Sony’s robust internal processing, results in generally better picture quality than you’ll usually get for this price. In practice, the X80K is satisfying to watch. You’re not going to get as sumptuous a picture as you may with other TVs from Sony or other companies, but we didn’t encounter anything that looked bad on it."
