The Amazon Omni Series is significantly less expensive than the Sony X90L and will definitely save you some money. However, the Sony X90L offers a higher-quality picture, particularly in well-lit environments, and is a better choice for gaming due to its higher refresh rate. The Amazon Omni may suffice for casual viewing and its integrated Amazon smart features could be appealing if you're looking for a budget-friendly option. The Sony X90L, on the other hand, is geared towards a more premium viewing experience with better motion handling, making it suitable for sports and action movies, and it also supports advanced audio formats if you're using an external sound system.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series struggles with watching movies & cinematic TV mainly because it has no local dimming, which negatively impacts its contrast and black uniformity, making darker scenes look less deep and less detailed. The Sony X90L handles movies much better due to its local dimming feature improving contrast and black uniformity, coupled with good color volume and gray uniformity which contribute to a more vibrant and consistent picture quality.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90L outshines the Amazon Omni Series for news and TV programs due to its excellent upscaling and SDR brightness, providing clearer images and better visibility in all lighting conditions. While both have local dimming and a rich color gamut, the Sony X90L's higher performance in these areas, combined with its superb out-of-the-box colors and stronger contrast, allows for a more vibrant and engaging viewing experience.

"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."
