The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is typically much less expensive and may offer sufficient overall quality for general viewing, making it a cost-effective choice for budget-conscious consumers. Contrast and upscaling are decent, and it has satisfactory scores for watching movies, news, and cartoons. It's not the brightest for sunny rooms, though.
In contrast, the LG C2 (OLED) is typically much more expensive but delivers superior picture quality, especially in dark environments. It excels in gaming due to its high responsiveness and is also great for sports content. Additionally, it offers a wider viewing angle and better handling of reflections, which can be important in a bright room despite not being the brightest. The LG C2 offers richer sound quality and supports a higher refresh rate, enhancing fast-moving content and gaming experiences. It has Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, indicating better support for advanced video and audio formats.
The choice depends on your budget, the importance of image quality, and whether gaming and sports viewing are priorities. If cost is a significant concern and your viewing is casual, the Amazon TV should suffice. However, for the best viewing experience especially in darker rooms, with an emphasis on gaming and sports, the LG C2 would be the superior choice, provided you're willing to invest more.

The LG C2 (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The LG C2 OLED's perfect black uniformity and excellent contrast due to its OLED technology provide a superior movie and cinematic TV experience with deeper blacks and more vivid picture quality compared to the Amazon Omni QLED, which, despite having good contrast, cannot match OLED on black levels and local dimming, affecting its overall performance for movies. Additionally, the LG C2 has better viewing angles, which is important for consistent color and contrast when viewing from different positions in the room, whereas the Amazon Omni QLED's performance in this area is more limited, affecting group viewing experiences.

The LG C2 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The LG C2 has an exceptional response time and better handling of reflections, which makes fast-moving sports scenes appear smoother and easier to watch even in brightly lit rooms. On the contrary, the Amazon Omni QLED has a fair response time and reflections handling, which could result in less crisp motion during sports and more difficulty viewing in well-lit conditions.

The LG C2 (OLED) is very good for gaming, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Amazon Omni QLED has a lower response time which is less ideal for gaming as it might lead to more noticeable blur during fast-paced games, whereas the LG C2 stands out with a higher response time, permitting faster on-screen motion without blurring, which is crucial for gamers. Additionally, both TVs have low input lag, which is great for responsive gameplay, but the LG C2's higher refresh rate better supports smoother motion, enhancing the gaming experience.

The LG C2 (OLED) is good for bright room, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Amazon Omni QLED is less suitable for bright rooms due to a lower HDR brightness and mediocre handling of reflections, meaning it may struggle with glare and not deliver the most vibrant picture under strong lighting. On the other hand, the LG C2 performs better in bright environments, offering higher HDR brightness and excellent reflection handling, ensuring a clearer and more vivid viewing experience even in well-lit spaces.

How the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and the LG C2 (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."
"The C2 offers image quality that's a clear step above any non-OLED TV I've seen. The C2 is rare among high-end TVs in that all four of its HDMI ports support 4K/120, great for hard-core gamers with multiple next-gen devices. The C2 is plenty bright enough for just about any viewing environment. It also outperforms QLED TVs like the Samsung QN90B and TCL 6-Series. That's why I consider the LG C2 the best high-end TV for the money of 2022."
