The Sony A80J (OLED) is very good for gaming, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A80J OLED TV is better for gaming because it has an excellent response time, allowing fast-moving content to be displayed more clearly, and good input lag performance which is crucial for gaming responsiveness. In comparison, the Amazon Omni QLED TV has a fair response time, which could result in more motion blur during fast-paced games, and a very good input lag performance, which is slightly worse than the Sony A80J but still responsive for gaming.
