![]() And we are as yet unsure if the TV supports ALLM or VRR either - we have reached out to Amazon to clarify this. This means that you can still hook up a PS5 or Xbox Series X for some 4K/60 gameplay, but you won't be able to take advantage of the full range of next-generation features such as 120Hz. Gaming on the Omni QLED won't really appeal to hardcore enthusiasts thanks to the aforementioned single HDMI 2.1 socket, however, that doesn't really matter as the TV maxes out at 60Hz anyways. With one exception, the Omni QLED also features full-array local dimming with up to 80 zones: the 43-inch model uses direct LED backlighting, with the full array reserved for the 50-, 55-, and 65-inch models. The Omni QLED also supports an impressive amount of HDR formats including HDR10+ (and its adaptive variant thanks to the light sensor), Dolby Vision IQ and HLG. The addition of quantum dots should boost brightness and colour saturation, although we don't have any official word on nit counts quite yet. ![]() Moving on to the picture features, the TV uses a 4K QLED panel, something that just a few years ago was reserved for premium TVs. ![]() It is gimmicky and absolutely a sign of the AI-focused times we currently live in, but it was impressive nonetheless. Amazon includes a plethora of different screensaver image options to cycle through, as well as widgets for reminders, smart home controls and personalised content suggestions.Īmazon also briefly demonstrated an AI-driven screensaver creation tool, in which you can ask Alexa to create a totally made-up image the assistant will whip up a visualisation using AI generation. This is a sort of glorified interactive screensaver paired with a sensor that detects when you are in the TV's presence. A new feature called "Ambient Experience" featured heavily during the hands-on demo. Amazon's Alexa voice assistant is also heavily baked into the system's software and hardware alike, as you can navigate the entire operating system using voice commands via the included Alexa Voice Remote or the far-field microphones on the TV itself.Īmazon is also keen on using its Fire OS software to make the Omni QLED useful even when you aren't using it. You still get all the benefits of the Fire OS system though, including an abundance of apps with the usual suspects of Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, YouTube, Spotify and Tidal all present and correct. Here the Stick is integrated internally, which leaves the three HDMI 2.0 ports and single HDMI 2.1 eARC socket unobstructed. It's probably no surprise that a first-party TV from Amazon is absolutely feature-packed, as the integrated Fire OS operating system already brings a host of features when it is stuffed into a Fire TV Stick. ![]()
