Amazon’s Fire TV Omni QLED Series is back down to its Prime Day low

Finding a quality budget TV isn’t as hard as it used to be, with numerous deals happening throughout the year. Case in point, the 65-inch configuration of Amazon’s Fire TV Omni QLED Series is back down to its Prime Day low of $449.99 ($270 off). The discount makes it cheaper than the starting price of the smaller 55-inch model. [Product: Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED | https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJMGB9RN?th=1&tag=theverge02-20] The Fire TV Omni QLED Series sits above Amazon’s standard Fire TV Omni Series and 4-Series sets, but it’s not quite as advanced as the newer Omni Mini-LED Series. It features a 4K resolution and uses a layer of quantum dots to improve aspects like color accuracy and brightness. It also supports full-array local dimming, offering better backlighting and contrast than an edge-lit set. The technology also helps reduce blooming, which is that annoying glow of light around bright objects on dark backgrounds. Both of these technologies can have a big impact on overall image quality when watching movies and playing games. There are three HDMI 2.0 ports and one HDMI 2.1 port with eARC. While the TV features a 4K panel, its refresh rate tops out at 60Hz. That means you won’t get to enjoy the smoother animations offered by 120Hz, which is supported by current generation consoles. That said, the TV offers support for advanced HDR formats and boasts a built-in sensor that automatically optimizes the brightness based on the ambient light in your room. Additionally, the Fire TV Omni QLED Series features Amazon’s ambient experience. This turns the TV into a canvas for displaying over 2,000 works of fine art and photography, personal photos, and helpful Alexa widgets. Speaking of Alexa, the TV has integrated microphones (with an on/off switch) that offers hands-free control, making it easy to set timers, check sports scores, and turn on your favorite movie. You can also bring up a live camera feed from your home security system when someone approaches your front door.
