If you prioritize gaming performance and have a higher budget, the Samsung QN95B would be a superior choice with its excellent response times and input lag, making it well-suited to fast-paced games. It also performs very well in bright rooms due to its higher brightness levels and reflection handling. For watching sports, it's also better equipped due to better motion processing and screen uniformity.
For those who are price-conscious and prefer a TV that is good for general content like movies and TV shows, the Amazon Omni QLED could be a suitable pick. While it won't deliver the gaming performance or bright room capabilities of the Samsung, it offers a good overall viewing experience at a significantly lower price. However, be aware that it falls short in sports viewing and peak brightness compared to the Samsung. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN95B is better for sports watching largely due to its excellent motion processing and faster response time, minimizing blurring during fast-paced action compared to the Amazon Omni QLED which has fair motion processing and a slower response time. Additionally, the Samsung has superior reflection handling and wider viewing angles, ensuring a clearer image in bright rooms and for groups, whereas the Amazon TV performs less effectively under these conditions.

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung QN95B excels in reproducing colors for cartoons and animation due to its superior performance with colors right out of the box, backed by an excellent color gamut, which ensures a wide and accurate range of colors. On the other hand, while the Amazon Omni QLED is very good at displaying colors out of the box and has a very good color gamut, it doesn't match the Samsung's ability to deliver the same breadth and precision of colors.

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN95B delivers the best performance in a bright room due to its superior SDR and HDR brightness and excellent reflection handling, making it ideal for bright environments. While the Amazon Omni QLED provides good SDR brightness and fair HDR brightness, its reflection handling is just fair, which could be less effective in very bright rooms.

The Amazon Omni QLED is praised for its excellent black uniformity and contrast which are crucial for a good movie experience, but its colors out of the box and gray uniformity are only considered good, which might affect the viewing experience.
