Amazon released multiple new devices at the end of 2025, including a Fire TV Omni QLED Series, which I've been testing for over a month now. I've used the 65-inch model of this smart TV as our family's main television, and it's been a huge upgrade from my four-year-old LG TV.
Granted, that TV was an entry-level UN7000 with 4K resolution, so it wasn't a QLED panel by any means. It set me back $500 in 2021, but today, you can get a far superior 55-inch Omni QLED Series TV for $530.

The Fire TV Omni QLED Series is the third Fire TV I've used; I have a 50-inch Series 4 Fire TV and a 43-inch Omni Series. I got both of these for $100 each during Amazon Prime Day sales events, so they were relatively low-risk purchases at the time. I installed that Omni Series Fire TV in my bedroom, and it proved far superior to my old Westinghouse TV, but the latest Omni QLED Series is even more impressive.
