Amazon upgrades its Fire TV lineup and soundbar – offers big introductory discounts

Amazon Fire TV Omni Mini-LED Series.
Quick Summary

Amazon has announced. a whole swathe of home entertainment devices, including a new flagship Fire TV model, new 4-Series sets and an upgraded soundbar.

They are also on offer at launch, so you can save £100s right now.

Amazon has refreshed its TV lineup with new Fire TV Omni Mini-LED and 4-Series sets. There's a new Fire TV Soundbar Plus, too.

The flagship is undoubtedly the new Omni Mini-LED Series, which includes Dolby Vision IQ support and a 144Hz refresh rate for gaming with the latest consoles and PCs.

As with the previous Omni TVs, it uses a QLED panel but has a Mini-LED backlight for more accurate black levels. Locally dimmed, the LEDs can be more precisely switched on, off or dimmed.

It's a Fire TV so has all of the streaming services and apps you'd expect, but also comes with hands-free Alexa – you no longer have to press a voice button on the remote to talk with the assistant.

The 4K HDR model features ambient modes, so can adjust the picture depending on your room's lighting, but also has a sensor that knows when you step in front of the TV. This will be utilised more in a forthcoming update, but can even include interactive artwork that follows you around the room.
