Amazon just launched a new line of Fire TVs, just before Thanksgiving and, more importantly, Black Friday. The Fire TV Omni Mini-LED series is advertised as “the most powerful and innovative TV that Amazon has built yet.” Let’s look at some details.
These TVs all feature QLED Mini-LED panels that deliver up to 1,400 nits of brightness and up to 1,344 dimming points. They offer support for Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive, which should result in “vibrant colors, deep blacks, and rich contrast.”
Amazon says these sets include AI-assisted Intelligent Picture technology, which automatically improves picture quality to enhance scenes “in real time.” The TV’s light and color sensor takes into account the living environment, making the right light and color temperature settings as needed.
They also allow access to Amazon’s Fire TV Ambient Experience, which turns TVs into an artistic display. It’s like the well-regarded Samsung Frame series only, well, without the whole frame part. This software doesn’t just display static pieces of art, as it can also handle custom animations and various widgets.
This is the first Amazon-built TV with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certification, for my fellow gamers out there. This software suite includes a variable refresh rate, an automatic low latency mode and a 144Hz refresh rate in gaming mode. It also offers support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, for better future proofing. All come with two speakers, complete with two subwoofers, and allow access to Dolby Atmos sound.
These are Amazon TVs so, they play well with Alexa. The company says users can “discover shows and movies, control playback and control the Fire TV Ambient Experience hands-free” with voice control.
Fire TV Omni Mini-LED boxes are currently available. Prices range from $820 to $2,100, with size options ranging from 55-inches all the way up to 85 inches.
These are not the only entertainment products released by Amazon today. The company also dropped a new line of soundbars and a refresh of the existing Fire TV 4 series.
