When choosing between the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and the LG UR9000 (LCD), here are some important tradeoffs:
If you watch a lot of movies or series, the Amazon Omni is a better choice since it has higher scores in those categories. The same goes if you value sound quality and using the TV as a monitor.
On the other hand, the LG UR9000 is better for watching sports due to its higher sports content score. It also has a slightly better viewing angle, which can be useful in a wider room.
For a bright room, the Amazon Omni has a slightly higher score for handling reflections and maintaining quality.
If gaming is your priority, neither TV is outstanding, but the Amazon Omni has a slightly higher gaming score.
Price-wise, the Amazon Omni tends to be slightly more expensive, but this could be justified by its advantages in several aspects.
Lastly, keep in mind the LG UR9000 has voice commands for accessibility, which could be a significant feature if that is important to you. Give Feedback

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED excels in movie and cinematic TV viewing due to its high contrast ratio and effective local dimming which enhance dark scene performance, with very good black uniformity adding to its strengths. In contrast, the LG UR9000 falls short in these areas with a much lower contrast ratio, less effective local dimming, and poorer black uniformity, making it less suitable for those types of content.

The LG UR9000 (LCD) and Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the LG UR9000 (LCD) is somewhat better.
When watching sports, the Amazon Omni QLED delivers fair performance owing to its fair response time, fair handling of reflections, and limited viewing angles which make it less ideal for wide seating. In contrast, the LG UR9000 also offers fair performance in sports viewing, with its strengths being better viewing angles, but it is held back by its fair motion processing and reflection handling capabilities.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED has a fair response time and very good input lag which is important for gaming fluidity and reaction time, whereas the LG UR9000 is just fair in response time but has the best input lag, which might favor competitive gaming where input lag is more critical. However, the term "best" for input lag on the LG doesn't necessarily imply a significant advantage in actual game play, especially if the overall motion performance is only fair, as in this case.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED displays cartoons and animation very well due to its strong "Colors Out of the Box" and "Color Gamut", ensuring vibrant and accurate colors from the start. In contrast, the LG UR9000 is considered poor for the same content because despite good "Colors Out of the Box", it has a poorer "Color Gamut", limiting the range of colors displayed.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED offers a better experience for news and TV programs because it has good upscaling quality and SDR brightness, contributing to clearer images on non-HD content. In contrast, the LG UR9000 shows weaknesses in these critical areas, leading to less clarity and brilliance when watching standard definition programming or content with lower brightness.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair for bright room, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED handles bright rooms better because it has fair performance across SDR and HDR Brightness, as well as handling reflections, despite poor contrast, whereas the LG UR9000 struggles with poor contrast and color volume, and is rated only fair in SDR and HDR Brightness, although it handles reflections very well. Understanding that SDR and HDR Brightness are very important for bright room viewing, the Amazon Omni QLED's weaknesses are less impactful than the LG's.

"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."
