The Amazon Omni QLED is considerably less expensive and may be a good choice if the budget is a primary concern. However, it has a lower refresh rate and lacks some advanced features compared to the Sony X95L, which has better motion handling and overall picture quality, especially for high dynamic range content. The Sony also supports a higher 120Hz refresh rate, which can be particularly beneficial for gaming or watching fast-paced sports. If you have a bright room, the Sony's display might handle reflections and maintain good visibility better than the Amazon Omni QLED. Ultimately, if cost is not a major issue and you desire superior performance for a variety of content in various lighting conditions, the Sony X95L could be the more satisfying choice. However, if you want to save money and still get a decent television, the Amazon Omni QLED would be a solid option. Give Feedback

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.
The Amazon Omni QLED delivers good performance for movies and cinematic TV with its very good local dimming and contrast, but has average viewing angles and gray uniformity which may affect wider seating arrangements and uniformity in panning shots. The Sony X95L offers excellent contrast and local dimming resulting in better performance for movies and cinematic content, complemented by very good color reproduction and viewing angles which enhances the experience for off-angle viewing and ensures vibrant, consistent colors.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95L performs better for watching sports because it has superior motion processing and response time, ensuring sharp images during fast action, and handles reflections better, which is crucial for maintaining visibility in bright rooms. The Amazon Omni QLED, on the other hand, has weaker motion handling and slower response time, which might result in blur during fast-moving scenes; it also falls short in handling reflections, making it less suitable for well-lit environments.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good.

"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."
