The Amazon Omni QLED is more budget-friendly and offers a decent overall picture quality, which is good for watching movies and series. However, it may not be the best choice for sports due to a lower performance in motion handling and it has a more limited viewing angle, which could be a concern if you often watch TV with a large group spread out across the room.
The Sony A90J, on the other hand, is a higher-end TV with excellent picture quality suitable for all types of content, including sports, due to its superior motion processing. It also has a better dark room performance, which is great for watching movies. It's more suitable for bright rooms, has a wider viewing angle, and better sound quality. However, all these features come at a higher price.
So if you're looking for a more affordable option that's good for movies and general TV, consider the Amazon Omni QLED. If you're willing to invest in superior picture quality and performance across all types of content, including gaming and sports, and you value better sound, the Sony A90J could be the right choice, keeping in mind that it comes at a higher cost.

The Sony A90J (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The Sony A90J boasts exceptional contrast, which leads to deeper blacks and more vibrant images, excelling specifically in local dimming and black uniformity, which are essential for cinematic viewing. Although the Amazon Omni QLED offers commendable performance with good colors out of the box and a respectable color volume, it can't quite match the Sony's superior viewing angles and impeccable gray uniformity.

The Sony A90J (OLED) is excellent for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A90J offers superior motion processing and response time, essential for a fluid and blur-free sports watching experience, along with excellent reflection handling and viewing angles, making it well-suited for rooms with wide seating and varying light conditions. Conversely, the Amazon Omni QLED struggles with motion processing and has a merely fair response time and reflections handling, which may result in a less optimal experience for dynamic sports content and in well-lit or wide-seating environments, although its gray uniformity is only somewhat behind the Sony's.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony A90J (OLED) to be good for bright room, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A90J OLED TV handles reflections better and produces higher brightness in HDR content, which gives it an advantage in bright rooms compared to the Amazon Omni QLED TV, which has lower brightness and reflection handling capabilities. Both TVs offer good color gamut and volume, which are somewhat important, but the Sony OLED's excellent handling of reflections and higher HDR brightness are key for bright room viewing.
