The Amazon Omni QLED is a lower midrange price TV that is typically much less expensive than the LG B1 OLED, which is an upper midrange price TV.
For gaming and watching movies in the dark, the LG B1 OLED may be the better choice due to its superior contrast and ability to display true blacks. It also has a higher gaming score, which suggests it may provide a better gaming experience.
However, if budget is a primary concern and you still want a good experience with movies and series, as well as decent performance in bright rooms, the Amazon Omni QLED could be more suitable.
Keep in mind that OLED TVs like the LG B1 can suffer from permanent burn-in if static content is displayed for long periods, so this could be a concern if you plan to use the TV for as a monitor or for displaying static images frequently.
Both TVs support important HDR formats, but only the LG B1 OLED supports Dolby Vision, which enhances the viewing experience for supported content. If you watch a lot of content in Dolby Vision, this may be a deciding factor. Give Feedback

The LG B1 (OLED) is very good for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The LG B1's OLED panel provides perfect blacks and an excellent contrast ratio which is crucial for watching movies and cinematic TV, enhanced even further with its superior black uniformity and wide viewing angles. In comparison, the Amazon Omni QLED offers very good color volume and colors out of the box, but can't match the OLED in terms of contrast and black uniformity, making the LG B1 a more suitable choice for dark room viewing where these factors are more noticeable.

The LG B1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The LG B1 excels in sports viewing because of its excellent response time and motion processing capabilities, along with wider viewing angles and superior handling of reflections, making fast action more fluid and visible from different angles. In contrast, the Amazon Omni QLED has fair motion processing and reflection handling, with more limited viewing angles, which could result in slower on-screen action and less optimal viewing from off-center positions.

The LG B1 (OLED) is very good for gaming, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The LG B1 (OLED) is very good for gaming largely because of its excellent response time and very good input lag, making it responsive and ideal for fast-paced games, plus a higher refresh rate which is supportive of smoother motion. In contrast, the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD), while still providing very good input lag, has only a fair response time and is a 60Hz screen, which means it may not be as smooth or responsive as the LG B1 for gaming purposes.

The LG B1 (OLED) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The LG B1 is superior in upscaling content and producing more vibrant colors out of the box, which contributes to its very good performance while watching news and talk shows. Conversely, the Amazon Omni QLED is still considered good due to its commendable SDR brightness and decent upscaling but falls short on advanced qualities like local dimming and contrast, which the LG B1 excels at, making the latter a better choice for such content.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) has a price of $600 and the LG B1 (OLED) costs $1,700.
The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and LG B1 (OLED) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The Amazon Omni QLED's colors are vibrant initially, which, along with its very good color gamut, makes animations pop without much adjustment, but the LG B1, with its OLED display, also offers excellent color out of the box and a very good color gamut, ensuring rich and vibrant animations with deep blacks to enhance contrast. However, despite both TVs being well-suited for watching cartoons and animation, the LG B1 might have the edge in producing more consistent colors across different shades due to its somewhat better color volume and gray uniformity.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers LG B1 (OLED) to be good for bright room, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The LG B1 has superior reflection handling and higher HDR brightness which makes it perform better in a bright room, while the Amazon Omni QLED, despite its good SDR brightness, struggles with lower HDR brightness and fair reflection handling, impacting its performance in well-lit environments. Contrast, color volume, and color gamut, where the LG B1 also leads, play a supportive but less critical role in these scenarios.
