If you're looking for value and are satisfied with decent picture quality, the Amazon Omni QLED is much less expensive and offers a good balance for general viewing. However, if you prefer top-tier image quality and are willing to invest more, the Samsung S95C OLED provides superior contrast and color for an enhanced viewing experience in movies and gaming, with better performance in dark rooms. The Samsung may not be as bright as the QLED, which could be a consideration if you plan to watch a lot in a very sunny room. Give Feedback

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S95C excels in watching sports due to its best-in-class response time and motion processing, which results in smoother action with less blur, and broader viewing angles, ensuring clarity from multiple seating positions.
