What makes this deal ZDNET recommended? The Amazon Fire TV Omni Series QLED is the next evolution of Amazon's TV offerings, with an all-new QLED screen for bolder colors, sharper detailing, and enhanced contrast.
The Amazon Fire TV Omni Series QLED aims to deliver a great streaming experience with rich, clean audio from twin 12W speakers and access to thousands of shows and movies. It even works as a gaming TV with a dedicated gaming picture mode to enhance color and detailing so that characters and landscapes pop. However, the biggest strike against the Omni QLED is that much of its cool functionality is locked behind Alexa.
To get many of the Omni QLED's cool features -- like making voice or video calls, playing trivia, or checking the weather -- you'll have to buy an Echo device and set up an Alexa profile if you don't have one already. Specifications Pricing As great as the new Omni Series QLED models are, price is a big sticking point for me, especially since I personally don't use Ale.
