If you prioritize gaming and sports or watch content in a room with bright light, you might prefer the Sony X90J. It offers better performance for gaming and can display sports more clearly. Additionally, it has a high brightness level which makes it suitable for bright rooms.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a TV that is more cost-effective and still offers good performance for movies and series, the Amazon Omni QLED could be an appealing choice. It is typically less expensive and has decent picture quality, but it won't match the Sony in gaming or bright room performance. Give Feedback

The Sony X90J (LCD) is good for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Amazon Omni QLED's sports watching experience is rated as fair due to its average motion processing and response time, which can lead to some blur during fast-moving sports. On the other hand, the Sony X90J is rated as good for watching sports, largely thanks to its excellent motion processing and very good response time, resulting in clearer images during rapid movement, despite its reflections handling being somewhat lower than that of the Amazon Omni QLED.

The Sony X90J (LCD) and Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The Amazon Omni QLED excels in contrast with deeper blacks and its local dimming improves the picture in dark scenes, but its colors might not be as accurate out-of-the-box as the Sony X90J which boasts excellent color accuracy and a higher local dimming score for a refined viewing experience in cinematic content. However, both have good black uniformity crucial for movie watching, though the Sony X90J has a slightly inferior contrast compared to the Amazon Omni, it benefits from a better viewing angle, making it a better option for wider seating arrangements.
