When choosing between the Amazon Omni QLED and the LG UP8000, both are similarly priced. The Amazon Omni offers better overall picture quality, which can enhance movie and series watching experiences, and has superior sound quality. It performs well in dark settings due to its good contrast and black uniformity, but may not be the best choice for very bright rooms. Its gaming capabilities are reasonable, with low input lag, but are not standout. The LG UP8000, while having a more limited picture performance and sound quality, offers a wider viewing angle, making it a better fit for rooms where viewers are spread out. It lacks high performance in dark room settings which may affect movie watching. This TV, however, reflects less light and could be more suitable for well-lit environments. If you prioritize movie watching in a darker environment and can handle a little reflection, the Amazon Omni QLED may be the better choice. If you often watch TV in a bright room or have a wide seating arrangement, consider the LG UP8000. Give Feedback

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the LG UP8000 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED is good for movies and cinematic TV because it offers a high contrast ratio and good black uniformity, which provide deeper blacks and more visual depth, crucial for dark scenes. On the other hand, the LG UP8000 is considered poor because it has a lower contrast ratio and weaker black uniformity, leading to grayer blacks and less compelling dark scene reproduction.

The Amazon Omni QLED displays fair HDR brightness and handles reflections fairly well, making it suitable for bright rooms, while the LG UP8000, with poor HDR brightness and just good reflection handling, performs poorly in comparison under similar conditions. Additionally, Amazon's offering benefits from a full-array local dimming feature that helps to improve contrast, which contributes to its fair performance in bright environments, unlike the LG model that lacks this feature and exhibits lower contrast, color volume, and color gamut impacting its overall performance in bright settings.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and LG UP8000 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Amazon Omni QLED has a fair response time and very good input lag, making it suitable for casual gaming, while the LG UP8000 has the same fair response time but the best input lag, which despite its excellent responsiveness, its overall gaming performance suffers due to other factors like lower contrast. Both TVs have a 60Hz refresh rate, but the difference in gaming experience is due to how quickly each TV displays new images and reacts to user inputs.

Jim Martin | April 2023
"This really is a TV designed for the streaming generation ... And it’s good to see support for both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision because it means more of the content you stream will be available in HDR. Overall, the Omni QLED is an impressive TV. It’s pretty bright, has good contrast and – thanks to those quantum dots – vibrant colours."

"What we liked on this one was the very sharp 4K images it could display, its good up-scaling capabilities, nice viewing angles and extremely low input lag. Lastly the new webOS 6.0 is great even if it needs some time to get your bearings while the redesigned Magic Remote feels fresh even if functionality remains the same."
