If you prioritize a better streaming experience and more vibrant colors for movies and gaming, the Amazon Omni QLED could be a suitable choice as it has favorable qualities for these purposes. However, it may not perform as well in bright rooms due to its lower brightness compared to the Sony X80K. On the other hand, the Sony X80K is the better option for viewing in bright environments and for sports content due to a higher brightness and motion handling. Ultimately, your choice depends on whether you value a lower cost and richer colors over better performance in bright conditions and motion clarity. Give Feedback

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Sony X80K (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED TV excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its high contrast ratio and good local dimming which enhance deep black levels, while the Sony X80K falls short because of its lower contrast and lack of local dimming, leading to poorer black uniformity. Additionally, the Omni QLED displays richer colors and maintains color saturation at different brightness levels better, but both TVs have limited viewing angles, and the X80K provides slightly more uniform grays and colors straight out of the box.

The Sony X80K (LCD) is good for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X80K provides a better experience for watching sports thanks to its superior motion processing capabilities, which ensure smoother movement on screen, and its wider viewing angles that maintain picture quality for viewers sitting off to the side. In contrast, the Amazon Omni QLED struggles with motion processing and has more limited viewing angles, which can detract from the sports-watching experience especially in larger groups or wider rooms.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the Sony X80K (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED provides a better gaming experience due to its faster response time and lower input lag, which leads to smoother motion and quicker reaction to gaming inputs compared to the Sony X80K, which is rated lower for these crucial gaming performance factors. Both TVs have a 60Hz refresh rate, but the superior response and input lag on the Amazon Omni QLED make it more suitable for gaming.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Sony X80K (LCD) is good.
The Amazon Omni QLED delivers a more vivid and accurate color experience straight out of the box, with a wider color gamut, making it very good for watching animated content which often uses a broad array of colors. The Sony X80K, while offering good performance, might not match the Omni QLED in terms of color vibrancy and richness due to its comparatively limited color gamut and volume.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and Sony X80K (LCD) are both only fair for bright room, though the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Amazon Omni QLED has better SDR and HDR brightness levels than the Sony X80K, which benefits viewing in a bright room, but the Sony X80K has a higher score in handling reflections, which can also be advantageous in bright environments. Both TVs have fair performance in bright rooms, and while the tradeoff is between the Omni's superior brightness and the X80K's better reflection handling, neither excels in contrast or color performance, which are somewhat important for picture quality.

Tech Advisor
Jim Martin | April 2023
"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 Sony Bravia X80K is an inexpensive LCD TV that turns out pleasing visuals and is armed with a number of other desirable features. Sony’s robust internal processing, results in generally better picture quality than you’ll usually get for this price. In practice, the X80K is satisfying to watch. You’re not going to get as sumptuous a picture as you may with other TVs from Sony or other companies, but we didn’t encounter anything that looked bad on it."
