Amazon just unveiled a new line of Fire TVs, just ahead of Thanksgiving and,
more importantly, Black Friday. The Fire TV Omni Mini-LED series is being
advertised as ΓÇ£the most powerful and innovative Amazon-built TV yet.ΓÇ¥
LetΓÇÖs take a look at some specs.

These TVs all include QLED Mini-LED panels that deliver up to 1,400 nits of
peak brightness and up to 1,344 dimming zones. They offer support for Dolby
Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive, which should result in ΓÇ£more vibrant colors,
deeper blacks, and richer contrast.ΓÇ¥

Amazon says these sets include AI-assisted Intelligent Picture technology,
which automatically enhances image quality to optimize scenes ΓÇ£in real-
time.ΓÇ¥ The TVΓÇÖs light and color sensor take the living space into
account, making the appropriate brightness and color temperature settings as
needed.

They also allow access to AmazonΓÇÖs Fire TV Ambient Experience, which turns
the TVs into a display for art. ItΓÇÖs sort of like the well-regarded Samsung
Frame series only, well, without the whole frame part. This software
doesnΓÇÖt just display static pieces of art, as it can also handle custom
animations and various widgets.

This is the first Amazon-built TV with an AMD FreeSync Premium Pro
certification, for my beautiful gamers out there. This software suite
combines a variable refresh rate, an automatic low latency mode and a new
144Hz refresh rate in gaming mode. It also offers support for Wi-Fi 6E and
Bluetooth 5.2, for some nice future-proofing. They all ship with two
speakers, complete with two subwoofers, and allow access to Dolby Atmos
audio.

These are Amazon TVs so, of course, they play nice with Alexa. The company
says that users can ΓÇ£discover shows and movies, manage playback and control
the Fire TV Ambient Experience hands-freeΓÇ¥ via voice control.

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

These arenΓÇÖt the only entertainment products that Amazon released today.
The company also dropped a new line of soundbars and a refresh for the pre-
existing Fire TV 4 series.
