![]() The TV rendered the moving star-field test well. Weaknesses, such as they are, occur in video processing albeit very rarely in real-world viewing.Ĭontrast is good for a mid-range TV, with blacks tending towards a darker gray than they do on many competing sets. The Fire TV Omni QLED’s image is roughly on par with other LED-backlit LCDs in this price range, with its primary strength being accurate, saturated quantum dot color. ![]() ![]() That’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, because the Fire TV user interface and Amazon’s Alexa Voice remote synergize more thoroughly and efficiently than any combo I’ve tried. That said, my preference would be to have the transport controls beneath the TV controls, as I use them quite a bit. The similarities to Roku’s user interface are likely why I became accustomed to Fire TV so readily. Rewind, Play/Pause, and Fast-Forward buttons are in a row beneath a circular rocker switch with a Select button in the middle. The voice remote is very much like Roku’s in terms of functionality, apart from being significantly thinner and a bit longer. That’s a welcome feature if you have headphones that support the same. You can adjust audio/video sync as needed, and the TV surprised me with support for the aptX and aptX HD codecs. There’s also a Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) adapter onboard, as well as a Bluetooth 5.0 radio that supports Bluetooth headphones. ![]() That last port lets you control external devices with the TV’s remote (assuming they don’t support HDMI-CEC). There’s a single USB 2.0 port with support for mass media playback, keyboards, and mice an RJ-45 port for 10/100 ethernet coax for cable/satellite connections or an over-the-air antenna (the onboard tuner is ATSC 1.0) a 3.5mm headphone jack, a S/PDIF optical digital audio output and an IR emitter port. Amazon tells us that since those ports don’t support a 120Hz refresh rate, they intentionally mislabeled them to avoid heightened expectations from gamers. The image on the product page, however, says three of them are only HDMI 2.0. According to Amazon, all four of those interfaces are HDMI 2.1 and support both variable refresh rate and auto low-latency modes. The Fire TV Omni QLED features four HDMI ports, one of which supports eARC ( we explain the enhanced Audio Return Channel at the preceding link). Each of those models consists of a 10-bit panel with a 60Hz refresh rate HDR support in the forms of Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Amazon’s own Fire TV smart TV operating system and full-array local dimming (that last feature is not included on the 43-inch model).Īmazon Fire TV Omni QLED-series specifications It’s a hotly contested space that typically delivers the most bang for your buck, and this TV packs plenty of that.įor those looking for a bigger or smaller TV, the Fire TV Omni QLED is also available in a 43-inch configuration for $450, there’s a 50-inch model for $530, a $65-incher for $650, and $900 nets you a 75-inch display. A list price of $600 for the 55-inch model reviewed here puts Amazon’s Fire TV Omni QLED series squarely in the “I want something a step up from entry-level, but I’m not crazy about spending two grand on a TV” category. Quantum dots deliver better color accuracy in LED-backlit TVs–and arguably with OLED TVs as well. The Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED 4K TV is the top dog in Amazon’s television line-up.
