If you prioritize movies and series and want to spend less, the Amazon Omni QLED could be a better option. However, the Samsung Q60B is more suitable if you need a TV that performs well in bright rooms and has slightly better sound output. Neither TV is ideal for gaming, but they can still provide a reasonable experience. If color accuracy right out of the box is important, you might prefer the Amazon Omni QLED. Keep in mind though, the Amazon Omni QLED may not perform as well in terms of reflections or in a wider viewing angle as the Samsung Q60B. Give Feedback

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED TV is rated better for gaming compared to the Samsung Q60B because it has a fair response time and very good input lag, while the Samsung Q60B, despite its best input lag performance, suffers from a poor response time. Response time affects motion blur, and input lag is crucial for the responsiveness of games; a high refresh rate is also key, but both TVs have similar refresh rates, not explicitly highlighted in the provided data.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Amazon Omni QLED has fair motion processing which is important for sports but only a fair response time, which can affect fast-moving scenes, while the Samsung Q60B's fair response time could lead to more motion blur during sports. Both TVs manage reflections fairly well which is beneficial for bright room viewing, however, they differ in viewing angles where the Amazon might show some color shifts when seen from the side, a noteworthy consideration if you often watch TV with a group spread out across the room.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung Q60B (LCD) to be good for bright room, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q60B is favored for use in bright rooms over the Amazon Omni QLED because it has higher SDR and HDR brightness levels, which helps maintain picture quality in well-lit environments. Additionally, the Samsung Q60B is better at handling reflections, thus reducing the impact of ambient light on the screen.

How the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and the Samsung Q60B (LCD) compare to other TVs
"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."
"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
