The Amazon Omni QLED is a better choice if you prioritize watching movies and streaming series due to its higher performance in those areas. It also offers better contrast and black uniformity, which can enhance your dark room viewing experience. However, if gaming is your main use, the Samsung Q70A might be a better fit for you since it has superior gaming performance and also supports a higher refresh rate which is important for fast-paced gaming. While the Amazon Omni QLED comes at a lower midrange price, the Samsung Q70A is priced higher. If you often watch TV in a bright room, the Samsung could offer slightly better performance, but the Amazon isn't far behind. Keep in mind neither TV is ideal for sports content. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) and Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is somewhat better.
Both the Amazon Omni QLED and Samsung Q70A are rated as fair for watching sports because they have limitations in motion processing, which affects how smoothly movement appears, and in reflections handling, which governs how well the screen can minimize glare from light sources. Additionally, they both offer adequate but not wide viewing angles, meaning the picture quality degrades at an angle, and they possess just fair response time, leading to a slight blur in fast action. The Samsung Q70A, however, has a slight edge in terms of response time and might be more suitable for well-lit rooms, whereas the Amazon Omni QLED displays a more consistent color across the screen but struggles more with reflections.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q70A is better suited for gaming compared to the Amazon Omni QLED due to its very good response time and best input lag performance, indicating you'll experience smoother motion and quicker reaction to inputs, which are crucial for gaming. The Amazon Omni QLED has fair response time and very good input lag, which are decent but may not provide as fluid or responsive a gaming experience as the Samsung model.
