If you're looking for a more affordable option with decent overall picture quality, the Amazon Omni QLED might suit your needs. It has a lower price tag but offers good performance in both dark and bright rooms, and it's quite versatile for different types of content including movies and animation. However, its gaming performance and motion processing are not as strong.
On the other hand, the Sony X93L comes at a premium price but provides superior gaming experience, sports viewing, and motion handling. It's excellent for bright rooms and has better sound quality with great speakers included. It also offers more advanced features like a higher refresh rate, better color handling, and supports a wider range of HDR formats.
Choose the Amazon if you're budget-conscious, but for top-line performance especially in gaming and bright conditions, the Sony would be the better option. Give Feedback

The Sony X93L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X93L outshines the Amazon Omni QLED in sports viewing due to its superior handling of fast-moving scenes and better reduction of glare from lights and windows, with its excellent motion processing and reflection handling. Additionally, the Sony also has a faster response time and wider viewing angles, making it more suitable for a lively sports-watching experience with friends and family, despite both having similar gray uniformity which is somewhat important for an even playing field appearance.

The Sony X93L (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The Amazon Omni QLED is good for watching news and TV programs thanks to its solid upscaling and SDR brightness, which ensures clear images from lower resolution sources and good visibility in most lighting conditions. However, the Sony X93L excels in these aspects with very good upscaling and excellent SDR brightness, also offering richer colors out of the box and a wider color gamut, which contributes to a more vibrant and detailed viewing experience for similar content.
