The Amazon Omni QLED has a lower midrange price, often significantly less expensive than the Sony X90K. However, the Sony X90K provides a better experience for gaming, sports viewing, and overall brightness, particularly in bright rooms. If you highly value gaming and watching sports, or often watch TV in well-lit environments, the additional investment in the Sony X90K may be justified. The Omni QLED performs well for movies and series, so if those are your main content and budget is a concern, it would be a good option. Neither excels as a computer monitor, and both support common HDR formats, but only the Amazon Omni supports HDR10+ while only the Sony supports Dolby Vision. Give Feedback

The Sony X90K (LCD) is good for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90K provides a better experience for watching sports as it has a higher response time which results in clearer motion, and its superior handling of reflections means it's less distracting in a bright room. While the Amazon Omni QLED has fair performance in these areas, its lower response time may lead to more motion blur during fast sports action, and its reflections handling isn't as effective, which could be a problem in well-lit environments.

The Sony X90K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The Sony X90K is better at upscaling lower resolution content and has superior SDR brightness, making it a robust choice for watching news and TV shows in well-lit environments. Whereas the Amazon Omni QLED, while offering good performance for the same content, doesn't reach the same level of brightness or upscaling quality as the Sony, which might make it less appealing if these factors are a priority for you.

The Sony X90K (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90K offers brighter screens in both standard and high dynamic range content along with better handling of reflections, which makes it more suitable for bright room viewing compared to the Amazon Omni QLED, which has lower brightness levels and reflection handling ability. While contrast, color volume, and color gamut are also important, the superiority of the Sony X90K in the critical areas of brightness and reflections is a deciding factor for better performance in well-lit environments.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and Sony X90K (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The Amazon Omni QLED excels in contrast and black uniformity which are crucial for watching movies and cinematic TV, ensuring deep blacks and good dark scene performance. In comparison, the Sony X90K, while also providing good contrast and black uniformity, offers a slight advantage in local dimming and slightly better viewing angles, which could enhance the overall picture quality in varied viewing positions.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and Sony X90K (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The Amazon Omni QLED's colors out of the box are labeled as 'Good,' and its color gamut and color volume are described as 'Very Good,' hence providing vibrant colors without much adjustment, making it suitable for cartoons and animations. The Sony X90K, also having 'Good' colors out of the box and 'Good' color volume, delivers a pleasing picture, but the Amazon Omni QLED might edge ahead with a slightly richer color gamut for this type of content.

How the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and the Sony X90K (LCD) compare to other TVs
"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."
"As Sony’s next-to-flagship LCD TV, the X90K series delivers impressive performance for the price. The XR90K had fairly accurate out-of-box color. The TV’s multi-position stand lets you either set the screen flush with any stand its mounted on or elevate it to clear space for a soundbar. With the latter option, you get around 3 inches of clearance enough to accommodate most soundbars. The X90K’s excellent suite of gaming features ranks it up there with the best 120 Hz 4K TVs."
