The Amazon Omni QLED is a more affordable choice, providing a good all-around performance with a particularly strong showing for watching shows, sports and using it as a PC monitor. It's also suitable for gaming due to its decent response time and low input lag. The LG A2 OLED, on the other hand, offers a premium experience, especially in picture quality with its perfect blacks and wide viewing angles, making it ideal for movies and HDR content. It is, however, significantly more expensive. If your viewing space is quite bright, the LG A2 might not perform as well as the Amazon Omni QLED, which is better suited for brighter rooms. If budget is a main concern, the Amazon Omni QLED will serve you well, but if you are willing to invest more for superior picture quality, especially in darker environments, the LG A2 OLED would be the better option.

The LG A2 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A2 OLED TV provides an excellent performance when watching sports due to its superior response time and motion processing capabilities that ensure smooth action, coupled with great reflections handling and wide viewing angles. In contrast, the Amazon Omni QLED may offer a less ideal experience, with only fair response time and motion processing, meaning that fast-paced sports might not look as clear, and its reflections handling could degrade the viewing experience in bright rooms.

The LG A2 (OLED) is good for gaming, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A2 OLED TV provides a better gaming experience than the Amazon Omni QLED, mainly because it has excellent response time, which results in less motion blur during fast-moving scenes, and very good input lag, ensuring that a player's actions are registered quickly on the screen. Conversely, the Amazon Omni QLED TV has fair response time, which can lead to more noticeable blur with rapid movements in games, although it also has very good input lag for responsive gameplay.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers LG A2 (OLED) to be good for bright room, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A2 OLED TV handles reflections better and offers higher SDR and HDR brightness compared to the Amazon Omni QLED, which is why it is considered good for bright room viewing. The Amazon Omni QLED, while having decent SDR brightness, doesn't perform as well due to its fair score in reflections handling and lower HDR brightness, resulting in just a fair overall performance in bright rooms.

How the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and the LG A2 (OLED) 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."
"Movie fans will find a lot here to love, and the A2 series’ low prices compared with other OLED TVs will keep their wallets happy. Images had the deep blacks and detailed shadows typical of the best 4K TVs, while colors looked both fully saturated and clean. Also, the A2’s out-of-box picture performance in Filmmaker mode was mostly accurate, requiring only slight adjustments to optimize brightness, color, and contrast."
