The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95L excels at watching sports due to its best-in-class response time and motion processing, ensuring clear fast-moving images with minimal blur, wide viewing angles for consistent quality when seen from different positions, and it manages reflections exceptionally, providing a great view in bright rooms. In contrast, the Amazon Omni QLED has fair response time and motion processing which may lead to more blur during fast action, a narrower viewing angle which can affect picture quality from the side, and fair reflection handling that might not perform as well in well-lit environments, though its gray uniformity is somewhat better for even watching fields or courts.

The Sony A95L is considered the best for gaming because it offers top-tier response times and input lag performance, ensuring a smooth gaming experience with minimal motion blur and delay.

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is very good.
The Sony A95L OLED excels in displaying cartoons and animation due to its outstanding colors right out of the box and a superior color gamut, ensuring that the vibrant hues typically found in this content are rich and accurate. In comparison, while the Amazon Omni QLED also performs well with good out-of-the-box color accuracy and a very good color gamut, it doesn't reach the level of the Sony, and this difference in performance is noticeable for content that relies heavily on color reproduction like cartoons and animation.
