sizes, the Fire TV Omni QLED includes “up to” 96 individual dimming zones behind the panel, which should result in noticeably better contrast and black levels when compared to the original Omni sets. The new TVs have presence and ambient light sensors, letting them save power and automatically turn off the screen when no one is nearby.
As its branding indicates, the Fire TV Omni QLED Series features quantum dot color for a wider HDR palette. The display is still limited to 60Hz, so this TV might not be the best choice for an Xbox Series or PS5 console. That said, it still includes a few gaming features like variable refresh rate , auto low latency mode, and HDMI 2.1 connectivity.
If the artwork mode is running, you can ask Alexa for more details on whatever image is currently being showcased. Widgets can be customized, collapsed, or expanded depending on your own preference. There’s also a “What Should I Watch” widget that, according to Amazon, “provides you with entertainment recommendations based on the day’s top-trending video titles on Fire TV.”
The Fire TV Omni QLED retains the built-in far-field microphones for Alexa interactions, but Amazon is quick to note that you can disable those mics with the flip of a switch. You can have the TV play music even when the display is off. It didn’t take much sleuthing to conclude that TCL was the manufacturer of the first Omni TVs, and based on the hardware design, I get the impression that nothing has changed for this QLED series. But it’s good to see Amazon making what should amount to substantial upgrades to picture quality. TCL, Hisense, and Vizio are constantly raising the bar for what people can expect from TVs that cost under $1,000.
I take it, it has HDMI 2.1 & do we know a lag input score for it yet? Does it have any Gaming smarts?
Does it have support for IMAX Enhanced? How does it compare to the Hisense U8H 65in?
