If you prefer a TV that excels in movie watching and gaming, especially in darker environments, and are willing to pay a premium for top-notch picture quality and motion processing, the Sony A80K OLED would be an excellent choice. This TV offers an outstanding dark room performance, wide viewing angles, and low input lag, which is great for gaming. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option that still provides good picture quality for a variety of content including news, sports, and general TV watching, the Amazon Omni QLED might suit your needs. However, keep in mind that it may not perform as well in very bright rooms and its gaming performance is not as strong as the Sony A80K. Give Feedback

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."

"It’s a high-end TV through and through something that becomes clear the moment you glance at its stunning picture. The A80K’s surgically precise contrast control is likely the first thing you’ll notice about its picture ... every piece of content looks better when this amount of precision is available. Color accuracy is another strong suit; the A80K features fantastic out-of-the-box color accuracy in the Custom picture mode."
