The Amazon Fire TV Omni Series is a very basic, entry-level 4k TV. Along with the Amazon Fire TV 4-Series and the Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED Series 2022, it's one of the first Amazon-branded TVs. It improves on the 4-Series marginally, with Dolby Vision support on the larger sizes and better build quality. It has a great selection of streaming apps through Amazon's Fire TV OS, and it can remove judder from any source, which is uncommon for a 60Hz TV. The remote has built-in voice controls, and there are microphones on the TV for hands-free control. It's available in multiple sizes, from 43 to 75 inches.
Our Verdict
The Amazon Fire TV Omni Series is a good TV overall. It's good for watching movies in a dark room, as it has good contrast, or for playing games due to its superbly low input lag. It's a decent choice for watching TV shows in a bright room, but it's not ideal for sports or video games due to its slow response time. Sadly, HDR adds almost nothing to movies or games, as it can't get very bright in HDR and can't display a wide color gamut. Finally, it's not recommended for PC use, as text looks blurry.
- Good contrast.
- Great selection of streaming apps.
- Decent reflection handling.
- Slow response time.
- Disappointing accuracy and limited calibration settings.
- Image degrades at an angle.
The Amazon Fire TV Omni Series is decent for watching shows during the day. It has decent peak brightness and reflection handling, which can overcome glare in most rooms. It also has a great selection of streaming apps, so you're sure to find your favorite streaming service. Unfortunately, it has a narrow viewing angle, so it's not the best for a wide seating arrangement, as the image doesn't stay consistent when viewed off-center. The TV also can't upscale 480p and 720p content properly, which is disappointing if you have a lot of shows on DVD.

Popular TV Comparisons
The Amazon Fire TV Omni Series is a very basic entry-level TV. Most budget models offered by competing brands, including TCL and Hisense, deliver better picture quality and have better features, although it's still a good TV overall. There are much better TVs available if you're willing to spend a bit more, although Amazon sometimes deeply discounts this TV, so watch out for sales. For the right price, this can be a great TV.

The Amazon Fire TV Omni Series is better than the Amazon Fire TV 4-Series. The Omni has better accuracy out of the box, and it's a bit brighter. The Omni also has a slightly faster response time, and the unit we bought has better black uniformity. Finally, the 65-inch and 75-inch models of the Omni have a more premium design, with hands-free voice control, and those sizes support Dolby Vision.
The Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED Series 2022 is much better than the Amazon Fire TV Omni Series. The QLED model has a full array local dimming feature, resulting in deeper blacks and better overall dark scene performance. The QLED also has a much wider color gamut, so HDR content looks more vivid and realistic.
The 65-inch Hisense A6G and the Amazon Fire TV Omni Series use different panel technologies, each with strengths and weaknesses, but the Amazon is better overall for most people. The Amazon TV has much better contrast, better black uniformity, and it's a bit brighter. The Amazon TV can remove judder from any source. On the other hand, the Hisense has much better accuracy, even after calibration, as the Amazon TV has only a basic white balance calibration system. The Hisense also has better viewing angles. Note that there are some variants of the A6G that use VA panels; we expect them to perform closer to the Amazon TV.
The Hisense U6G is significantly better than the Amazon Fire TV Omni Series. The Hisense has a full array local dimming feature, slightly better reflection handling, and it's significantly brighter. The Hisense also has better black uniformity, much better accuracy, and it can be fully calibrated, whereas the Omni Series only supports a basic white balance calibration.
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.
