The Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED Series 2022 is a budget 4k TV in Amazon's 2022 lineup. It sits above the Amazon Fire TV Omni Series and the Amazon Fire TV 4-Series, both of which were released in 2021 but are still part of Amazon's lineup in 2022. There are a few differences with the new model, as it adds a quantum dot color filter, allowing for richer, more vibrant colors. It also adds a few gaming features, including variable refresh rate support to reduce tearing, but it's still limited to a 60Hz refresh rate and doesn't support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. It runs Amazon's Fire TV smart interface, which is fast and easy to use and has a great selection of streaming apps available to download.
Our Verdict
The Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED is a good TV overall. It's best for watching movies or shows in a dark room, thanks to its superb contrast ratio and excellent black uniformity. It's a good gaming TV with low input lag and a good selection of gaming features. It's also good for watching shows during the day thanks to its decent peak brightness and reflection handling, meaning it can handle moderate amounts of glare. Sadly, it's limited for watching sports, as it has a poor viewing angle, and it's unsuitable for use as a desktop monitor, as it doesn't display chroma 4:4:4 properly, and text looks blurry.
- Superb contrast ratio results in deep blacks in a dark room.
- Great selection of streaming apps.
- Decent reflection handling.
- Image degrades rapidly when viewed from the side.
- 480p and 720p content isn't upscaled properly.

The Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED is great for watching HDR movies in a dark room. It has a superb contrast ratio, excellent black uniformity, and a decent full array local dimming feature, so there's very little blooming around bright areas of the screen. It has an amazing color gamut in HDR, with nearly full coverage of the DCI-P3 color space and great color volume. It can also remove judder from any source, ensuring a smooth movie-watching experience, and thanks to its relatively slow response time, there's very little stutter. Unfortunately, it can't get very bright in HDR, so bright highlights don't stand out very well.

Popular TV Comparisons
The Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED is a good TV but is more expensive than competing models from other budget brands. Some cheaper models deliver a much better experience, so it's not worth buying. If you want to save a bit of money, get the Hisense U7H or the TCL 5 Series/S546 2021 QLED instead, as they perform about the same. If you're willing to spend a bit more, the Hisense U8/U8H vastly outperforms it and is a much better buy.

We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.
