Amazon Fire TV 75" Omni Mini-LED series, QLED 4K UHD smart TV, Dolby Vision IQ, HDR 10+ Adaptive, 144 Hz gaming mode, hands-free with Alexa, Dolby Atmos, 2024 release

Amazon's entry into the premium TV market with their Omni Mini LED TV marks a significant milestone. -Picture Quality The Omni Mini LED's display performance is remarkably impressive, particularly when compared to OLED technology. The local dimming implementation deserves special mention, delivering deep blacks that rival OLED panels. The TV's ability to maintain detail in dark scenes while providing excellent brightness makes the difference between Mini LED and OLED technology surprisingly minimal in real-world viewing. -HDR Performance The TV's Intelligent HDR mode demonstrates Amazon's commitment to user-friendly features. While professional calibration options aren't yet widely available, the out-of-box settings and intelligent modes provide a compelling viewing experience. The Super Resolution feature effectively enhances lower-resolution content without introducing artificial artifacts. -Gaming Performance For gamers, the Omni Mini LED offers an experience that in some ways surpasses OLED alternatives. The combination of exceptional brightness and precise local dimming creates stunning contrast in games, while maintaining excellent response times and flawless VRR support. The high brightness capability particularly shines in HDR gaming content. -Smart Features and Storage The operating system performs admirably, matching the speed and responsiveness of Amazon's premium Fire TV 4K Max stick. The inclusion of 10GB onboard storage, expandable via USB to over 138GB, provides ample space for apps and media. The interface feels polished and responsive, suggesting Amazon has leveraged their Fire TV expertise effectively. - Audio Quality The built-in sound system impresses with rich, full-bodied audio reproduction. Bass response is notably strong for a flat-panel TV, and the extensive sound customization options allow users to tailor the audio to their preferences and room acoustics. - Value Proposition When considering the price-to-performance ratio, the Omni Mini LED presents itself as one of the most compelling options in the current TV market. It successfully combines premium features with competitive pricing, making it a strong contender for best value in its class. -Areas for Improvement - Limited availability of professional calibration resources - Reliance on intelligent processing modes might not appeal to purists - Long-term performance and durability remain to be proven - Verdict The Amazon Omni Mini LED TV represents a successful entry into the premium TV market. While some might be skeptical of a newcomer in this space, Amazon has delivered a product that competes favorably with established players. The combination of excellent picture quality, gaming performance, and smart features, along with its competitive pricing, makes it a compelling choice for both home theater enthusiasts and casual viewers. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended for: Movie enthusiasts, gamers, and anyone seeking high-end TV performance without the premium price tag typically associated with OLED

To update a previous review (which appears to have been removed), the key to using this television is to NOT plug the UHF antenna-in unless your internet falls-over. Freely works adequately; it's not without its bugs, but it's a big improvement on Freeview. Channel hopping is slightly less bad than the previous model (which appears to have been simply chucked in a box with minimal testing). As Freely uses streaming versions of the channels you watch, there is a latency of around15-20 seconds from what's being sent over UHF (which is speed of light minus a few milliseconds), you simply can't get faster than the speed of light, however, unless you are watching a NYE event and the midnight 'bongs' are important, this shouldn't bother you much. The other benefit is the more 'minority' channels picture fidelity is far better. 5Action over UHF is horrible, but the Freely version is watchable. The downside; if your internet provider falls-over as Vodafone did recently, you won't have anything to watch, but you could plug the UHF antenna back in and scan for channels again. UHF transmission is very reliable, but due to limitations of space on the dial, the quality (these days) is not great. Once you have asked the set to find your local opts, you only need to hide all the 'filler' channels, and you will need to hide them if you wish to preserve your sanity. This set, unlike the newer TCL devices which it is (under the bonnet) runs Android and that means you have a wealth of other applications which you can install. Picture quality is fine and it's not difficult to make some minor adjustments to increase your viewing pleasure if you need. Buy a soundbar, the speakers on this set are not good. Adding a USB webcam means you can make Alexa calls to unsuspecting friends and members of your family, without all that tedious shouting at an 8" box from the other side of the room.

I have the 55" model. Cost about a quarter the price of my 65" OLED. Whiles it's not as good as OLED it's about as close as you'll get, and better value. Audio is excellent for TV speakers, colours are decent, blacks are reasonable... as good as you can hope for without stepping up an OLED panel; implementation of local dimming seem good, less bloomy around contrasting areas than other I've seen. Software is easy to use, and for the most part is smooth and responsive. Not tried it for gaming but the spec suggest it'll shine in the area too.

This TV irritates me daily. I really, really regret not sending it back when I could. When I first used it, it had what looked like a serious panel issue, where random patches, lines, and huge chunks of the screen would massively dim, turn off, or change brightness/contrast. Completely unusable. But through messing with the settings, factory resetting, and system updates, I managed to get it working but now I dare not change any settings again. I've had it about 6 months now and every day I regret not sending it back. The picture quality is good, but the UI, Alexa's usability, irritating pop-up, full screen adverts, pointless buttons on the remote, and general user experience issues have me wishing I'd not got it every day. I absolutely despise this television and feel massively ripped off. The localised brightness adjustments and AI HDR and all that stuff is completely imperceptible. The product videos/pictures show these features completely doing away with glare from a window. Completely misleading. Once the sun is out, this is just as unwatchable as any other TV without closing your curtains. Don't get excited. It doesn't do what you're thinking it does. It's a good quality panel, but nothing special in that regard. Alexa is terrible. I had to take my other alexa products out of the next room because anytime I tried to use them the TV responded. And, yes, I have my settings adjusted the way they should be to avoid this. But when in front of the TV, it never hears me. I am constantly shouting at It and repeating myself. It also doesn't understand basic, obvious commands such as "resume". Other commands such as "pause" only work on certain apps. Saying "play" as in "resume" works but only if the screen saver hasn't come on. If the screen saver comes on, "play" starts amazon music, no matter how many times you've changed your settings to not use amazon music because it is awful. The only way is to find the remote and press the back button, then press play. There seems to be no voice command for "back". It also doesn't recognise its own name. "TV off" results in either "there is no device called "TV" on your account" or "there are multiple devices called "TV"" - then it doesn't give a list of them to pick from. It just does nothing. I have never in the last 6 months changed the number of devices on my account and this is the only TV. I also changed its name to "TV". It just doesn't work. Any intuitive commands you assume would be there like "go back 30 seconds" when you have an interruption are not recognised. It just doesn't understand if you tell it what you want even if it is something I credibly simple, and anything it does know has to be said word for word exactly as the commands are individually written and they haven't included the most obvious of variations of these. It cannot control my optical out speakers. Why on earth not? My games console plugged into the TV can. So why on Earth can't the TV? What an absolute joke. So I'm back to the 90s having to tape together a mega remote because this voice controlled smart TV can't do anything. There is more, but I'm sick of writing about this and just wish I had my money back and am so, so angry at myself for not returning it just out of it being inconvenient because of the size when I had a legitimate fault I could have returned it for. I shouldn't have put the work in to sort it myself. It wasn't worth it. I don't have this kind of money to waste but got this because it's cheaper than equivent panels. I would pay the difference in a heartbeat now.

I have very mixed feelings about this TV. I haven’t used, and don’t intend to use, any of its smart features. I buy a TV to be a TV. So if you’re looking for an opinion on the smart platform, this isn’t the review for you. I bought this TV purely for the price point and the hardware features. The first thing that stands out is the picture. It’s extremely vibrant out of the box. After turning off all the visual enhancements, disabling motion smoothing, and reducing sharpness, the raw picture quality is actually very good. Brightness levels are strong, colours pop nicely, and for a large screen the resolution holds up well. The built-in sound is also better than expected. There’s a rear-mounted, boom-box-style speaker that projects sound back off the wall, giving a warmer, bassier feel than most thin TVs. It works surprisingly well for casual viewing. I’ve since added a soundbar to improve things further, but the internal audio is genuinely decent. Where things fall down is connectivity and speed. Connecting a soundbar and multiple HDMI devices via ARC/eARC has been frustrating. The TV itself is very slow. HDMI devices rely on a handshake process, and on this TV that process takes far too long. When everything is powered on, the soundbar and set-top box are ready almost instantly, while the TV takes its time booting. What often happens is audio starts playing through the soundbar before the TV has fully loaded. Once the TV finally comes on, it hasn’t switched over correctly, so the remote only controls the TV and not the external devices. I frequently have to switch to HDMI 2 from HDMI 1 and back again just to force everything to sync. It does eventually work, but it happens often enough to be annoying. I suspected HDMI cables might be part of the issue, so I replaced several older cables with short, newer ones. That actually helped. Handshakes are faster, the signal is cleaner, and startup time improved noticeably. Still not perfect, but better. The settings menu is also poorly designed. If you’re watching something on HDMI 1 and want to adjust picture settings, you can’t access them directly. You have to press Home, leave the input entirely, go into Settings, then Display & Audio, then Picture Settings, select the HDMI input you’re already using, and only then does it return you to HDMI 1 with the settings overlay visible. It’s clunky and unintuitive. There’s also a setting called “Apply to all inputs.” I pressed it once early on, and after that I could never find a way to undo it. There’s no obvious toggle to reverse it. In the end, I had to factory reset the TV. I connected the TV to the internet once to update it, then immediately reset it again and disconnected it permanently. As far as I can tell, there’s no way to restore per-input picture controls once that option is applied - except with a factory reset. In short: great picture once tuned, surprisingly good built-in sound, but slow performance, messy HDMI behaviour, and poorly thought-out menus let it down. I’ve also been using the TV for gaming and ran a few tests to see how the refresh rate held up. Initially, at 4K full resolution, I was only getting around 30 Hz. However, once I switched HDMI 2 into gaming mode, it unlocked higher refresh rates. Where it struggles is contrast. Because there’s no proper contrast control, some games, especially darker titles, can look too dark. The only workaround is adjusting gamma on the pc itself. On PC, you’ll likely need software-level tools (GPU control panel, reshade, or in-game gamma controls) to compensate. Console - can't help you. Overall. Excellent for the price. Just a few annoyances that let it down. Green screen shows an example of bad HDMI handshake.

Absolutely love our new T.V we’ve had it a couple of months now, easy to use, pictures is amazing, sounds great. Highly recommended.

You can only review based on your experience and I should say from the start that I bought the 75" version with the expectation that it would be driven by an Apple TV and used for Playstation 5 gaming, connected to my Denon receiver and subwoofer. In this regard it performs, for me, exactly as I'd hoped. The Apple TV can happily feed Dolby Vision. And the Amazon TV works perfectly with eARC and the remote controls my Apple TV, although I generally rely on a Harmony remote. The PS5 can serve 4k gaming at full refresh rates. That's not to say that I never use the panel without amplifier, subwoofer or Apple TV, because I do, typically late at night. The up-firing Atmos speakers give a very reasonable surround sound and is perfectly acceptable, but the operating system isn't exactly speedy. I don't watch terrestrial TV, so cannot comment on that. All the streaming apps I use, the native Amazon OS functions very well. The only issue I've found is that it doesn't remember my preferred brightness setting. And I have to toggle to another setting and back every time I turn it on. Tiresome, but not a dealbreaker. If I were to review the delivery and wall installation, however, it would be zero stars out of 5. It transpires that the (uncontactable) installers pick up the TV from Amazon in the morning and then come to your house, letting you know the time of arrival on their way. On the morning of delivery / wall install they cancelled their service. I then spent a week trying to get Amazon to rebook delivery. Customer service said it would be delivered the next day and assured it would be wall installed then. The next day ... silence. The TV remained at the Amazon delivery depot, uncollected. And the next and the next and the next. I cancelled the order. And reordered again. It was delivered the next day. I then paid a local installer to slap it on the wall for me. To end as I began, considering my overall set up. I am absolutely delighted with the TV and would buy again.

Picture quality is good, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision content looks pretty nice too. The biggest issue is the complete headache trying to get eARC working. We’ve purchased multiple 4k and 8k HDMI cables and even bought the Amazon Fire Soundbar Pro to see if the official kit would work properly with the TV. However, despite trying every TV setting, following every suggestion discussed on Reddit and trying every setting on both soundbars, the best we managed was to get the soundbar working over HDMI & eARC for a few hours before it went silent again. The only fix was to then unplug every HDMI cable from the TV and reconnect them and it would work again for a while. So, the only way to consistently connect the TV to a soundbar is via optical and that doesn't support DTS:X or Dolby Atmos. With modern sound mixing making vocals very hard to hear, i’ve found that it’s vastly improved when the soundbar is receiving the proper Dolby Atmos audio via eARC and is actually audible. Not being able to use it due to what seems to be buggy software on the TV is very disappointing. Oh and why does the Fire Soundbar Pro co e with a subwoofer in the US, but in the UK we just get the soundbar on its own? It all feels a bit rushed and a distinct lack of care given to the end user experience. I do like that the TV will automatically display a picture-in-picture view of my Ring doorbell camera when someone presses the button, but it takes just slightly too long for the feed to appear and shows up as a phone notification noticeably quicker. I was hoping for a polished experience for the cost, especially when paired with the more expensive of the two official soundbars. It can’t play x264 or x265 mkv video files from a USB. I can play some .mp4 video files, but as mkv is by far the more common container, it is a baffling omission.
