The Amazon Omni QLED is a more budget-friendly option, which could be a significant factor if you are looking to save money. It performs well for watching movies and series and has decent picture quality. However, it might not be the best choice for watching sports due to a lower performance in that area, and it may not handle reflections as effectively as other models, which could be an issue in bright rooms.
The Sony X95J costs more but offers a premium viewing experience with stronger picture quality, making it better suited for an array of content like movies, sports, and gaming. It has great motion processing capabilities and high brightness which could make it a better fit for brightly-lit environments. Additionally, it has advanced sound features, including support for Dolby Atmos, which enhances the audio experience.
Considering these factors, if price is a concern and your primary use is watching movies and series in a controlled lighting environment, the Amazon Omni QLED could suffice. However, if you're willing to invest more for superior performance across various contents and a better experience in bright rooms, the Sony X95J may be a worthwhile option. Give Feedback

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95J excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and maintains excellent brightness for standard dynamic range (SDR) content, which makes it exceptional for watching news, talk shows, and TV programs. On the other hand, the Amazon Omni QLED is good in these aspects, but its performance doesn't match the Sony's superior upscaling quality and SDR brightness, which are very important factors for such viewing content.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for bright room, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J performs better in bright rooms mainly because it has higher SDR and HDR brightness which makes the picture stand out more in daylight and it handles reflections very well, reducing the impact of ambient light on the screen. In contrast, the Amazon Omni QLED has a lower ability to overcome ambient light with its fair SDR brightness and reflection handling, and while its color volume is slightly better, this advantage is overshadowed by its lesser brightness and reflection performance in bright environments.
