Best Amazon Fire Tvs
1. BEST OVERALL
Amazon 55-Inch Omni Series 4K UHD Smart Fire TV
PROS
- Excellent value for money
- Remote-free Alexa control
- Decent screen for the price
CONS
- Not great for gaming or cinephiles
The Omni Series marries 4K HDR TV with an extremely affordable price tag. The 55-inch version lacks some high-end features, such as Dolby Vision, which is likely a deal breaker for discerning cinephiles. But it includes plenty of other great specs for the price, like the 4K-capable screen and plenty of HDMI ports.
Its screen is decent too, with bright images courtesy of HDR and a wide color gamut that means the average viewer won’t miss the Dolby Vision. We also love its minimalist design, with thin, chrome edges, and the simplicity of its remote.
Lastly, its onboard Alexa voice control acts as a hub that can control your Amazon ecosystem of devices simply with the power of your voice to activate its near-field microphone. Thas makes searching for any TV show or movie child’s play.
2. BEST BUDGET
Amazon 40-Inch 2-Series HD Smart Fire TV
PROS
- Extremely affordable
- Comes with Alexa remote
- HDR-capable
CONS
- No 4K
- No HDMI 2.1
A 40-inch Full HD smart TV for under $200? Pinch yourself. This 2-Series TV offers Alexa voice control using your remote, plus the Prime Video-centric Fire OS has its plethora of apps, and the TV has 1080p resolution.
And although the lack of 4K resolution is a significant trade-off, there’s support for HDR10 and Dolby Digital Audio, which lets you take advantage of surround sound. However, its lack of brightness compared to its more expensive rivals is a fairly large bugaboo. If you’re after a Fire TV and your budget is tiny, this model might be up your alley, particularly if you put your TV in a well-shaded room.
3. BEST PREMIUM
Amazon 55-Inch Omni QLED Series 4K UHD Fire TV
PROS
- Decent picture clarity
- Great features
CONS
- OS not superfast
The Omni QLED Series is Amazon’s top-tier TV range, with 4K resolution, a number of HDR formats, such as HDR10 and Dolby Vision, and decent tools for gaming, like variable refresh rate and a Dolby gaming mode. It’s also got Amazon’s Alexa that you can command without laying a finger on the remote.
Even if it can’t quite match the Samsungs and Sonys in the TV space, it’s got decent performance for the price, with dark blacks and bright images featuring a wide color gamut. Sound is also crisp and clear, even if it lacks punch, though to be fair, most flat panels aren’t notable in this department.
With commendable QLED technology and an affordable price point, the Omni QLED series is a quality panel boosted by Amazon Fire tech.
4. BEST FOR GAMING
Amazon 50-Inch Omni QLED Series 4K UHD Smart Fire TV
PROS
- Responsive screen
CONS
- OLED TVs still offer deeper blacks
Unlike Amazon’s other Fire TV ranges, the Omni QLED offers excellent support for high-resolution gaming. The input lag is minimal, meaning you can thrive in twitchy shooters such as Valorant or Apex Legends. This TV also offers Auto Low Latency Mode, which deactivates advanced image processing to minimize screen delays, making the screen quick and responsive. There’s also VRR, which lets your TV adjust its refresh rate to avoid screen tearing, allowing for smoother gaming.
This panel also offers a variety of HDR modes, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+, both of which ensure your gaming sessions are bright and vivid. And of course, it also features top spec Fire OS with hands-free Alexa voice control.
5. BEST BIG SCREEN
Amazon 75-Inch Omni QLED Series Fire TV
PROS
- Great picture quality
- Good for gaming
CONS
- Sound could be better
Whether you’re spending an evening indoors with a movie or hosting a Superbowl party, having a large screen that oozes quality is an essential crowd pleaser. This Omni QLED Series utilizes quantum dots—a.k.a., the miniscule nanoparticles of semiconductor material that can carry vibrant, saturated light and therefore color—to offer superb picture quality and top-notch brightness. This 75-inch model bathes the room in light and offers a fantastic level of detail too, and its design is highlighted with an accented silver design and tiny bezel.
While it can’t hold a candle to a top-of-the-line OLED TV’s excellent contrast levels and deep blacks, you’re still getting a decent performing TV with a huge screen without breaking the bank. And while sound isn’t exactly stellar, you can always use the money you’ve saved to invest in a quality soundbar.
6. BEST IN A KITCHEN
TCL 32-Inch Class S3 1080p LED Smart Fire TV
PROS
- Great value
- Bezel-less design
CONS
- Minimal ports
This compact Fire TV’s design makes it superb for mounting on a kitchen wall or tabletop. Its virtually bezel-less metal build allows for more screen for your money, ensuring your screen’s viewing area is maximized.
Its LED design also makes it ideal for breakfast time, with its brightness faring well even in bright morning light. There’s also an Alexa voice-enabled remote for minimal fuss if you’re looking for that perfect show while you prep dinner. And while this model lacks 4K resolution, it’s a fantastic value for a secondary TV to enhance your kitchen life.
