Amazon dropped a new Fire TV line just before Thanksgiving

Amazon just unveiled a new line of Fire TVs, right before Thanksgiving and, more importantly, Black Friday. The Fire TV Omni Mini-LED series is billed as “Amazon’s most powerful and innovative TV yet.” Let’s take a look at some specs.

These TVs all include QLED Mini-LED panels that offer up to 1,400 nits of peak brightness and up to 1,344 dimming zones. They support 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 improves picture quality to optimize scenes “in real time.” The TV’s light and color sensor takes the living space into account and makes the appropriate brightness and color temperature adjustments as needed.

They also provide access to Amazon’s Fire TV Ambient Experience, which turns TVs into an art display. It’s a bit like the much-loved Samsung Frame series only, well, without the whole frame part. This software doesn’t just display static artwork, as it can also handle custom animations and various widgets.

This is the first TV made by Amazon with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certification, for my wonderful gamers. This software suite combines a variable refresh rate, an automatic low latency mode and a new refresh rate of 144 Hz in gaming mode. It also offers support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, for great durability. They all come with two speakers, featuring two subwoofers, and provide access to Dolby Atmos audio.

These are Amazon TVs, so of course they work well with Alexa. The company says users can “discover shows and movies, manage playback, and control the Fire TV ambient experience hands-free” via voice control.

Fire TV Omni Mini-LED boxes are available now. Prices range from $820 to $2,100, with size options ranging from 55 inches to 85 inches.

These aren’t the only entertainment products Amazon is launching today. The company also launched a new line of soundbars and a refresh for the pre-existing Fire TV 4 series.
