The Samsung QN90B (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN90B excels in presenting news and talk shows due to its superior performance in SDR brightness and upscaling, ensuring clear image reproduction even from lower resolution sources. In contrast, while the Amazon Omni QLED also delivers good SDR brightness and upscaling, it falls short of the Samsung's higher standards, particularly when it comes to color accuracy straight out of the box where the Samsung is best in class.

How the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and the Samsung QN90B (LCD) 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 QN90B delivers one of the brightest pictures we’ve ever seen, showcasing HDR content better than just about every LCD/LED TV on the market. If all you’re planning on doing is watching cable TV, broadcast channels, and a fair share of streaming shows or movies, the QN90B is sure to impress. All four of the QN90B’s HDMI 2.1 ports support 4K gaming at 120fps a centerpiece feature of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5."
