Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series 4K UHD Smart TV w/ Dolby Vision & Amazon Alexa

Nowadays, most people have already considered upgrading from a standard television to a smart TV, as smart TVs make it much easier to watch and listen to your favorite content at home. Thanks to today’s many streaming platforms (such as Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, etc.), you can conveniently stream any movies or shows whenever you want to watch them and get endless hours of entertainment. Furthermore, you can also easily download many different music apps (such as Spotify, Youtube Music, Pandora, etc.) that make listening to music at home much easier than by using a set of wireless speakers which are connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Now, when searching for a new smart TV, it’s important to consider which smart features you’d really want to have. Not only should your future smart TV support the use of different streaming platforms and music Apps, but it should also feature support to voice controls and smart home integration. When it comes to smart home devices, there’s usually no better option than Amazon’s smart home products. Having just recently released its first lineup of smart TVs, the Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series is a seriously good choice for anyone to go with.

The Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series is a 65-inch smart TV that features 4K Ultra High Definition resolution with support to Dolby Vision, HDR 10, and HLG, built-in dual 8W speakers for sound with support to Dolby Digital Plus, a set of built-in microphones that give it support to Amazon Alexa via voice commands, a built-in privacy switch that electronically disconnects the microphones, multiple connectivity ports including an Ethernet port, 3 HDMI 2.0 ports, 1 HDMI eARC/ARC 2.1 port, a Cable/Antena port, a USB 2.0 port, a 3.5mm jack with IR emitter, a secondary 3.5mm headphone jack, and an Optical Audio output port, an included Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote that’s used for Alexa-supported functions and smart home capabilities, along with Wi-Fi Connectivity, plus additionally In-App controls via the Alexa App.

The Amazon Fire TV Omni Series is Amazon’s first lineup of Fire TV-powered televisions, for which the 65-inch version is the highest-end model in its new lineup.

While the Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series still falls into a more budget-friendly smart TV than a really high-end one, this newly-released smart TV model is still packed with really neat features of Amazon’s Fire TV, including particular functions such as hands-free Alexa voice controls, which makes it a very enticing option for a new smart TV for you home.

Now, let’s have a more detailed look at the Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series and check out all of the cool features that this 65-inch 4k UHD smart TV has to offer you.

DESIGN & MOUNTING OPTIONS

Starting with the Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series’ size, note that this smart TV model measures exactly 57.1 inches long by 33.3 inches tall (without its stand) by a very slim 2.9 inches thick (145.03 x 84.58 x 7.36 cm), with a total distance of 48.4 inches (122.93 cm) between its two leg-stands, making it somewhat large. As such, expect to only be able to fit it on reasonably wide countertops.

While the TV weighs exactly 42.5 lbs. without its stand, know that it will only weigh just a tad bit more after having its stand installed, so its stand doesn’t make much of a difference for the TV’s total weight.

Then, regarding its design, this smart TV features a fairly slim body which comes in a flat Black color, while also coming integrated with a sleek aluminum bezel that gives it a very modern look. Moreover, the outer border of its screen’s bezel also has a smooth front-finish in a gray metal color that further embellishes its modern look.

Lastly, just like many other of smart TVs on the market, you’ll also be happy to know that the Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series can also be wall-mounted if you’d like to have it hanging on a wall.

That can be easily achieved thanks to all of its removable bolts located at the center of its back-side, which after removed, will allow you to have this Smart TV wall-mounted onto a 400 mm x 200 mm VESA Wall Mount (which is its main compatible wall mount model).

SCREEN SPECS & PICTURE QUALITY

Moving on to the smart TV’s screen and picture quality. While Amazon’s new lineup of Amazon Fire TV Omni Series Smart TVs are available in several different screen-size models (including 43″, 50″, 55″, 65″, and 75″), our review unit is specifically the 65-inch model.

That said, the Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series comes equipped with a 65-inch Direct LED Backlight screen, which, to be a little more specific, boasts a viewable display size of 64.5 inches.

Its 65-inch Direct LED Backlight screen features 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) resolution, meaning that this smart TV can display images and video in a 3840 by 2160 pixels resolution, ultimately allowing it to deliver a rich picture quality with brilliant colors, all while working at a 60 Hz Refresh Rate.

What’s more is that its 65-inch screen also features support to Dolby Vision (which helps to deliver a remarkable color palette with spectacular colors, sharper contrasts / shadows and incredible brightness levels for greater clarity, all of which allow it to ultimately display extreme details), support to HDR 10 (which allows you to more easily see shades of color that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to notice on a high-definition TV), and even support to HLG (which further helps to create that already-mentioned exceptional color and clarity for a dazzling viewing experience).

AUDIO SPECS & AUDIO QUALITY

We’ll now have a deeper look at this smart TV’s audio specifications and audio quality. To put it simply, the Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series comes equipped with a set of built-in dual 8-Watt speakers that make it capable of producing a decent sound quality to accompany its high-definition image resolution.

Overall, you can expect any type of video content or music played in this smart TV to sound great, and the TV can also reach fairly loud sound levels if its sound settings are configured as such.

It’s also worth noting that the Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series also features support to Dolby Digital Plus (with passthrough of Dolby-encoded audio), which allows users to enjoy an advanced surround sound across multiple compatible devices (such as one of Amazon’s Echo wireless speakers).

Last but not least, this smart TV also comes integrated with a set of built-in microphones, which ultimately give it support to Amazon Alexa, allowing users to control many of the TV’s different functions via Alexa-compatible voice commands.

Not only can users ask to turn on the TV, as well as find, launch, and control content, but they can also resort to voice commands in order to control different smart home functions for Alexa-compatible smart home integrations such as security cameras, internet searches via Alexa (checking the news, the weather), and more.

INTERFACE / CONNECTIVITY

Then, when it comes to this smart TV’s connection panel (which can be found integrated at the far left side of the TV’s body), users are offered multiple connectivity ports, which essentially allows you to connect the Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series to just about any device (whether that’s a soundbar, a set of high-end speakers, or even a gaming console) and potentially set-up the ultimate home theater.

Going from top to bottom, the TV’s connection ports include an Ethernet port, followed by three (x3) HDMI 2.0 input ports (which allow you to connect this smart TV to cable or satellite, as well as to any video game console), one (x1) HDMI eARC/ARC 2.1 input port (which lets you connect the TV to any sort of audio equipment for having a more enhanced sound quality), which is then followed by a Cable/Antena port, then a USB 2.0 input port, a 3.5mm headphone jack with IR emitter, a secondary 3.5mm headphone jack, and an Optical Audio output port.

Additionally, this smart TV also has Wi-Fi Connectivity, which is used for establishing a wireless connection between the TV and your Smartphone to ultimately control the TV via the Alexa App – discussed in greater detail at the end of the article).

Last but not least, integrated at the center of the TV’s bottom-side, there’s also a built-in privacy switch that electronically disconnects its microphones, allowing you to guarantee your privacy at all times.

THE TV REMOTE

On top of the TV’s many connection ports, users also get an included Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote, which adds new Alexa skills, features, smart home capabilities, and voice functionalities to the Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series.

By utilizing the included Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote, users can control functions such as the TV’s On/Off Power, its Volume, and even press its Alexa Voice Button to get hands-free Voice Control with Alexa, allowing them to ask Alexa about anything, whether that’s for adjusting the TV’s settings, controlling what’s being played on the TV, or even for something else.

THE SMARTPHONE COMPANION APP – Alexa App

By using the Alexa App (free to download for iOS and Android devices), users are also provided with additional In-App controls.

Via the Alexa App, users can wirelessly pair a set of Echo speakers or a even soundbar with their Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series 4K via Bluetooth.

Moreover, the Alexa App also gives users control over their voice recordings, which they can view, hear, or delete at any time within the App.
