At Amazon’s big hardware event today, the company announced a series of new Fire TV Omni QLED TVs with improved picture and motion-sensing features.
Amazon held its big September hardware event today and saved the best for last, as TV enthusiasts might say, with an update to its latest TV lineup. The Fire TV Omni QLED Series features features improved picture quality and a motion-sensing “ambient” experience that can trigger a whole range of new on-screen features.
Upping the ante from the original Omni series’ LED panels, the new Omni QLEDs now include Quantum Dot technology for better brightness and color, plus full-array local dimming for improved contrast, as well as support for Dolby Vision IQ that senses the ambient light in the room and adjusts the screen brightness accordingly. Amazon’s new TVs also add HDR10+ Adaptive support as well as Auto Low Latency mode and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for gamers.
The new 4K TVs, which are available for preorder in 65-inch ($800) and 75-inch ($1,100) sizes, are an evolution from Amazon’s popular self-branded TVs that run the same Fire TV OS as their streaming device counterparts, and offer built-in microphones for interacting with Alexa to control many features with your voice (existing Omni Fire TVs do this as well).
