The Amazon Omni Series and the LG UP8000 are similarly priced LCD TVs with their own strengths and weaknesses. For a better smart TV system with voice control, choose the Amazon Omni Series, which integrates well with Amazon services and has better support for HDR content. It is slightly better for watching movies or TV series and has excellent low input lag for gaming but isn't optimal for use in dark rooms due to lower dark room performance. If watching sports or consuming content in bright rooms is a priority, the LG UP8000 may be the better choice. Its performance for sports content is superior, and it handles ambient light well. Additionally, the LG has a wider viewing angle, making it a good fit for room setups where viewers are spread out. However, its overall picture quality and movie-watching experience are not quite as good as the Amazon Omni. Neither TV has local dimming, which can affect deep blacks and contrast. Both are limited to 60Hz refresh rates and are not the best option for high-end gaming. Ultimately, if integration with Amazon's ecosystem and voice control are important, along with a solid all-around performance, go for the Amazon Omni Series. If you prioritize sports viewing and a wider viewing angle in a bright room, the LG UP8000 may serve you better. Give Feedback

The LG UP8000 (LCD) is only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series has particularly poor motion processing and reflection handling which can reduce clarity while watching fast-paced sports, and its narrow viewing angles may also cause the picture to look different when viewed from the side. On the other hand, the LG UP8000 offers better motion processing and reflection handling which are crucial for sports viewing, but has only fair response time, meaning some blur in fast-moving scenes is still possible.

The LG UP8000 (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The Amazon Omni Series and the LG UP8000 are poor choices for watching cartoons and animation primarily due to their inadequate color performance; both have low scores for colors out of the box and color gamut, which are very important for the vibrant and varied hues typically found in animated content. Furthermore, their color volume, which is somewhat important, also scores poorly, further affecting their ability to display the full range of colors and shades required for a good animation viewing experience.

The LG UP8000 (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV.
The Amazon Omni Series is suitable for watching news and TV programs due to its good SDR brightness, which ensures visibility even in well-lit environments, and average upscaling performance for lower resolution content; however, its color performance is not optimal. Conversely, the LG UP8000 shows strength with a good upscaling ability for detailing and a comparatively wide color gamut for more accurate color reproduction, but its SDR brightness is rated lower, possibly compromising visibility in bright rooms.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Amazon Omni Series (LCD) to be only fair for bright room, while the LG UP8000 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series manages reflections slightly better and has a higher contrast which can help improve the viewing quality in bright rooms compared to the LG UP8000, which does not handle reflections as well and has lower contrast, making it more challenging to watch in well-lit environments. The difference in screen technologies, with the Amazon's VA panel potentially offering better contrast than LG's IPS screen, also contributes to why the Omni Series might be more suitable for bright rooms.

"If you want a competent budget screen with some handy features, the Amazon Omni TV delivers an experience that punches well above its price tag. You’ll also get the benefit of Fire TV’s new UI right out of the box. It’s clean and simple to understand, plus it puts content first. In the picture-quality department, the Amazon Omni is a surprising star among some of its dimmer, less colorful rivals."

"What we liked on this one was the very sharp 4K images it could display, its good up-scaling capabilities, nice viewing angles and extremely low input lag. Lastly the new webOS 6.0 is great even if it needs some time to get your bearings while the redesigned Magic Remote feels fresh even if functionality remains the same."
