If you prioritize overall picture quality, especially for movies or in darker rooms, the LG A1 OLED may be worth the higher price. It also has better viewing angles and performs well for sports content. However, the Amazon Omni QLED is less expensive and offers good picture quality. It's better suited for watching news, talk shows, and reality TV, and is quite capable in bright room conditions. For gaming, the Amazon Omni has a slightly better response time but both TVs have similar input lag. Neither excels in audio quality, so you may want to consider a separate sound system.

The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A1 provides a better experience for watching sports due to its excellent response time, which reduces motion blur, and its wide viewing angles that maintain color accuracy when viewed from the side. In comparison, the Amazon Omni QLED has a fair response time leading to more noticeable blur in fast-moving scenes and performs less impressively with handling reflections, which can be distracting in bright environments.
