The Amazon Omni Series is much less expensive and is integrated with Alexa, but does not perform as well as the Sony X95L in most uses, including for watching movies in dark rooms, gaming, or in bright room situations due to its superior local dimming feature. The Sony X95L is more expensive but offers better performance and more advanced smart features. If cost is a major factor and you want Alexa integration, the Amazon Omni Series may be suitable, whereas if you seek higher quality for various viewing experiences and can invest more, the Sony X95L would be the better choice.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series struggles with movie and cinematic TV viewing primarily due to its absence of local dimming and weaker black uniformity, leading to less impressive contrast especially in darker scenes. Conversely, the Sony X95L excels in these aspects with superior contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, delivering deeper blacks and more vibrant colors, thus offering a more immersive viewing experience for movies and cinematic content.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series struggles with watching sports due to its poor motion processing and reflections handling, which can cause blurring during fast action and issues with glare from ambient light. On the other hand, the Sony X95L provides a very good experience for sports viewing because it has excellent motion processing which reduces blur and very good reflections handling to minimize glare, as well as a wider viewing angle and better gray uniformity.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series is considered poor for gaming largely due to its slow response time, which can lead to motion blur during fast-paced games, even though it has very good input lag, meaning it responds quickly to user inputs. In contrast, the Sony X95L is very good for gaming, attributable to a combination of a fast response time, reducing motion blur, and good input lag for responsive gameplay.

The Sony X95L excels in displaying cartoons and animation due to its very good colors out of the box and color gamut, ensuring vibrant and accurate hues; whereas the Amazon Omni Series performs poorly in these areas, resulting in less appealing color representation for animated content. Additionally, the Sony has an excellent color volume, which helps maintain its color performance across different brightness levels, whereas the Amazon has only a fair color volume, which may result in less consistent color reproduction.
