The Amazon Omni QLED is a more budget-friendly option. It's well-suited for everyday use like watching TV shows and news, and it has decent performance for movies and sports. However, its performance may not be as impressive in very bright rooms and for gaming. In comparison, the LG G1 OLED is pricier, but it offers superior image quality, especially in dark rooms, making it exceptional for movie enthusiasts. It also has a better gaming experience due to its higher refresh rate and response time. The LG G1's OLED technology also means you'll get more vibrant colors and deeper blacks. If you're looking for a more immersive experience and are willing to invest, the LG G1 is a great choice. If you're looking for something more affordable that still offers good quality for everyday viewing, the Amazon Omni QLED would be suitable. Keep in mind that the OLED technology of the LG G1 carries a risk of burn-in with static images over long periods, which isn't a concern for the Amazon Omni QLED. Give Feedback

The LG G1 (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The LG G1 (OLED) is excellent for watching movies and cinematic TV due to its perfect blacks, which are a result of its OLED screen technology that provides a contrast ratio of 100 and black uniformity that is also valued at 100, enhancing the viewing experience in dark scenes. On the other hand, the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) provides a lower contrast ratio of 98 and black uniformity of 79, which, while still good, results in less distinct blacks and a less immersive experience in dark viewing environments.

The LG G1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The LG G1 provides a superior sports viewing experience thanks to its excellent handling of reflections and faster response time, which reduces motion blur and provides clear images during fast-paced games. On the other hand, the Amazon Omni QLED is considered fair due to its lower performance in these areas, leading to less clear motion and potentially more distracting reflections.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers LG G1 (OLED) to be good for bright room, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The LG G1's OLED screen provides better contrast and can display deeper blacks, enhancing the picture quality in bright rooms; it also has superior reflection handling, which makes it more suitable for such environments compared to the Amazon Omni QLED with its LCD screen. Despite its LCD screen, the Amazon Omni QLED offers good SDR brightness, but its reflections handling is merely fair, and the HDR brightness isn't as impressive as the LG G1, making it less optimal for bright room viewing.
