Amazon recently unveiled a new line of Fire TVs just ahead of Thanksgiving and, more importantly, Black Friday. The Fire TV Omni Mini-LED series is being advertised as the “most powerful and innovative Amazon-made TVs yet.” Let’s take a look at some specs.
All of these TVs feature QLED Mini-LED panels that offer a peak brightness of up to 1,400 nits and up to 1,344 dimming zones. They offer support for Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive, which should result in “more vibrant colors, deeper blacks, and richer contrast.”
Amazon says these sets include AI-assisted Intelligent Picture technology, which automatically enhances image quality to optimize scenes “in real time.” The TV’s light and color sensor takes the living space into account, delivering the proper brightness and color temperature settings as needed.
They also allow access to Amazon’s Fire TV Ambient Experience, which turns the TV into a display of art. It’s similar to the Samsung Frame series, but without the full frame. The software doesn’t just display static artwork, but it can also handle custom animations and a number of widgets.
This is the first Amazon-made TV with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certification for my beautiful gamers. The software suite adds a variable refresh rate, an automatic low latency mode, and a new 144Hz refresh rate in gaming mode. It also offers support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 for some great future-proofing. They all come with two speakers, two subwoofers, and allow access to Dolby Atmos audio.
These are Amazon TVs, so of course they work great with Alexa. The company says users can “watch shows and movies, manage playback, and control the Fire TV ambient experience hands-free” via voice control.
The Fire TV Omni Mini-LED boxes are available now. Prices range from $820 to $2,100, and size options range from 55-inches to 85-inches.
These aren’t the only entertainment products Amazon released today. The company also launched a new line of soundbars and a refresh to the already existing Fire TV 4 series.
