If you're primarily interested in movies and series, the LG C1 OLED offers superior picture quality, great for dark room viewing due to its perfect black uniformity and local dimming performance. However, the Amazon Omni QLED is more affordable and still delivers good overall picture quality and is decent for mixed usage, like watching news or sports, and casual gaming.
The LG C1 has better performance for gaming, with a higher gaming score. It also has better viewing angles, which means the image remains accurate when seen from the side, and it performs better in a dark room. On the other hand, the Amazon Omni has a lower price, but it won't deliver the same level of picture performance as the LG C1, especially in terms of contrast and handling of reflections.
For bright room usage, both TVs manage well, but if your room is very bright, neither of these options is ideal since they both score somewhat similarly and aren't the best in this specific aspect. The LG C1 has a slight edge due to a better reflection handling score.
Lastly, if gaming is a priority, especially at higher frame rates or with newer gaming consoles, the LG C1's response time and input lag scores are significantly better, offering a smoother gaming experience, and it supports advanced gaming features like HDMI 2.1 for 4K gaming at 120Hz.
In conclusion, the LG C1 is generally the better option for those who prioritize top-notch picture quality, gaming, and viewing in darker environments, and are willing to spend more. The Amazon Omni QLED is suited for those on a budget who still want a good mixed-usage TV. Give Feedback

The LG C1 (OLED) is very good for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The LG C1 delivers exceptional contrast and perfect black uniformity due to its OLED technology, which is beneficial for dark room viewing and presents deep black scenes accurately in movies, bolstered by superior viewing angles for consistent picture quality at different positions. On the other hand, the Amazon Omni QLED provides very good contrast with effective local dimming to enhance movie scenes by deepening blacks, though it may not match the LG C1’s black uniformity; however, its color volume is very good, ensuring vibrant and varied hues that enrich on-screen content.

The LG C1 (OLED) is excellent for gaming, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
