The Amazon Omni is a lower midrange price TV that is typically much less expensive than the Samsung QN90C. It has decent overall picture quality and gaming performance but falls short in sports content, dark room usage, and bright room performance compared to the Samsung. It has good movie, news, and animation scores, but it has limited quality control and assurance aspects. The Samsung QN90C, a premium-priced TV, offers superior overall picture quality, with excellent performance for gaming, sports, dark room, and bright room viewing, and boasts a better sound system with great speakers. If budget allows and you demand high-quality visuals, especially in various lighting conditions and for gaming, the Samsung QN90C is a superior choice. However, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option and can compromise on sports viewing and room versatility, the Amazon Omni may suffice. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is good for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90C is rated better for sports viewing largely due to its excellent motion processing capabilities and reflection handling which ensures clearer and more consistent images during fast-moving scenes, and a wide viewing angle which maintains the image quality from different seating positions. Conversely, the Amazon Omni QLED falls short in these key areas with fair response time and motion processing, along with lower capabilities in handling reflections and a narrower viewing angle, which can affect the overall sports watching experience.

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN90C offers superior SDR brightness and upscaling quality, making it very good for watching standard dynamic range content like news and talk shows in diverse lighting conditions, whereas the Amazon Omni QLED, while good in this regard, is outperformed by the Samsung in these key areas.

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) and Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The Amazon Omni QLED excels in cartoons and animation due to its very good color gamut and color volume, ensuring vivid and accurate colors, but with only good gray uniformity, it may display some unevenness in solid colors. The Samsung QN90C is also excellent for this content with a good color gamut, outstanding color volume, and best-in-class SDR brightness that makes its picture pop, although its contrast is lower than the Omni which could affect the depth of colors.
