Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED TV Review | Alexa, fired up

[@Caleb_Denison]

Hey everyone. Working on confirming dimming zone count (though it doesn’t really matter) and whether VRR is there or not. Will also try TCL iQ app just for grins. Thanks for watching!

[@naveenreddyavuthu2912]

Can you please review the new TCL 5-Series Roku TV (S555).

[@dhhjsjzjzjjhsjsjh]

That’s what I was going to say. Just returned my buggy tcl Google s546 and picked up the new Roku s555 instead. Wondering if I made a good choice

[@r.t.watson738]

VRR???? It’s a 60htz TV.😂😂

[@thehillbillygamer2183]

I got a 43 inch version of this and I get 400 for it in 2024 maybe 2 weeks ago and I didn't know about this knit thing the main reason I got mine was because I wanted it to be connected to my Amazon account and I thought that I could shop with it too but turns out you can't shop with it and an Amazon person told me you could so I was kind of aggravated about that but the TV I had before I got out of the pawn shop for like 50 bucks and I think it was just a 7:20 p.m. I had a little DVD player built in it wasn't smart at all but I did before that though I had a 1080p Vizio and I don't really think this one looks that much better than the Vizio and this is a OLED

[@whatever_12]

The one thing am pretty confident Amazon's tv will beat Tcl and most other brand is customer service.. They don't make you go through a ton of BS before giving a replacement or repair

[@OvertIntelligence]

Right...They definitely have em beat with customer service. Actually Amazon has the best customer service in the world as you can speak to a person in 5 minutes every time and willing to go the extra mile to help. Never have to cuss out an Amazon rep. Glad they only hire foreigners who aren't pissed you called and need help 😂

[@nazeershaw66]

That's a real fact💯 & software updates only for 4 year's. But the always collection of ur information non stop. U pay for what u get.

[@OvertIntelligence]

@@nazeershaw66 Yeah but hiding bay information. And if I there is I’m sure I can hide from my own devices 🧐

[@RobertSmelser]

I enjoyed your review as usual, but I have to admit that I tend to steer clear of Amazon stuff. I don’t see this changing my mind. Some of the smart features are clever, though. However, if I were in the market for a TV in this price range right now, TCL or Hisense would probably get my money simply because anything I get would have to be a marked improvement over my MU8000, and this doesn’t look like I’d see much of a difference. As always, thanks for your reviews.

[@OvertIntelligence]

I love Amazon...

[@JesseMcConnell04]

You seem much more impressed by all these budget TV's lately. Hisense TCL, Amazon. Have they reached some new performance levels at these lower price points now?

[@chrswlch]

Huh, they definitely told me it supports VRR (at and below 60Hz, obviously). And I think the dimming zone count is supposed to be 96 for the 75 and around 80 on the 65. That peak brightness though... woof. Great review, Caleb.

[@Caleb_Denison]

Thanks, Chris! Seems you squeezed more details from them than I did. 80 to 96 would track with the screen sizes. I just struggled to count, which I think is a generally good sign. As for VRR, I may well have that wrong. More testing it is!

[@Ritchie_The_CEO]

@@Caleb_Denison went on sale for $599 today. For that price, I grabbed it.

[@utubestrong2]

You are my new favorite tv reviewer. Thank you for making these videos. I might be in the market this year for a new tv, waiting for the Black Friday/holiday sales. Hoping to score a 55 LG C2 at Costco if they offer the sale price and extended warranty this holiday, if they offer it, but a lot of options to choose from this year in all prices.

[@OvertIntelligence]

Yo guys I have the FIRE TV OMNI and I love it already waaaaay more than my Hisense U8G. Idk man it's just like Apple products they just make you feel special. They say the U7H and U8H is a really good upgrade over the U8G but they always say that. My HIsense was a little glitchy and it just didn't do anything cool. This TV is an experience and it's just a fun tv to have honestly...Kids love it, I love it...

[@markschwacofer1802]

The thing is you get it for 37.50 a month for two years with no credit check if u get the 75-inch.

[@orlandomoltar]

That part

[@bartnash9084]

*_Well done review, thanks for the help. So, I just purchased the 75 inch on a Black Friday deal. The 0% interest for 24 months pushed me over the edge to go with the Fire TV over the Hisense or other models that supposedly have better features. I think a lot of the features that supposedly make the TCL or the Hisense a better choice really don't matter much to the average viewer. Honestly when I looked at the Hisense and now compare that to my Fire TV I really don't see much difference in the quality of the picture and I get all the Amazon goodness you touted in the video. Next up I'll check out your reviews on sound systems. If you do read these what would you recommend for an entry level surround sound to go with this TV Thanks for your help !!!_*

[@Mykjakuzz]

Thank you for the review! Been looking for a decent 75" budget TV for my living room. Leaning towards the Hisense U7 or U8H now. Thanks

[@steelkane327]

Thanks for getting this new tv up for review. I bought one because of the payment opinion from amazon

[@jatczeck]

I was thinking that exact same thing. Looking at the 75", don't really need 120hz as I don't game and hardly ever watch sports anymore. Currently have a 60" Samsung 4k from 6 years ago. So I believe this would be an upgrade either way.

[@ChattyCinnamon]

Hey, do you like your TV? I’ve decided to get one, just wondering what you think of it

[@kingkobra1956]

I will admit that Alexa can sometimes be extremely frustrating. The Alexa app has become so complex that you have to be a genius to navigate thru its functions to get it to do what you want. You can spend an entire day just dealing with Alexa alone. Not to mention integrating it with another device. I attempted to integrate it with my soundbar 900 when I purchased it and I went back and forth thru the steps for the longest trying to get it to connect and it wouldn't so I finally gave up. Later on that day I was speaking to one of my other Echo devices and the 900 responded. I was like what the...? I don't even try to accomplish something complex with Alexa unless I just want my brain to melt down. I will admit that the last couple of times I attempted to integrate Alexa with other devices it was seamless so I would assume that Amazon has been doing some homework. I love Alexa and can't imagine my life without it. I have so many Alexa and other wi-fi devices till my wifi couldn't support them all and finally gave up the ship. I had to get another gateway and I purchased a eero pro 6 and life is good again. Since I didn't have a single Google device I purchased a Google home hub just for kicks and it basically to me its only function is as a clock. But as far as a Amazon TV goes I will have to take a hard pass on that.

[@johanbolivar2007]

I agree with you, in fact I wanted a Hisense U7 ULED, but Amazon's financing for the Fire Smart TV Onmi QLED Series for two years finally convinced my pocket.

[@blocboyjb3408]

Have u gotten it how does it look

[@godwillrise5442]

I think it's a great move! And yeah why not have TCL make them!! They make good HD T.V. and I am sure in the future Amazon will do their own thing. Thanks for the vid!! Always interesting!!

[@untouchable360x]

[@GagandeepSingh-lt6zo]

Love the video and the idea at the end to buy hisense, however, the 75 inch model is way too expensive. Amazon fire tv is pretty reasonable 😊

[@OvertIntelligence]

Mines coming Saturday. I am apart of the Apple and Alexa eco-system and so it will fit right in with it's family 💯

[@bartnash9084]

yeah I agree I just purchased the 75 inch through Amazon with a super Black Friday deal and zero percent interest for 24 months and after looking at the high sense I really don't see much difference between my new TV and that

[@rodmunch69]

What's funny is that the XBOX One with Kinect had full voice control, a built in IR blaster so you could control all your devices, an HDMI input with its own custom TV guide interface. So, before Amazon even released their very first Echo, you could say, 'XBOX ON' and it would turn on the XBOX, TV, cable box and my audio receiver, and switch the inputs so they were correct, then you could say 'XBOX WATCH ESPN' and it would switch to the TV app, then using the IR blaster change the channel on your cable box. It all worked seamlessly, and it really worked well as the voice processing was down locally, so there wasn't any real delay. Microsoft had all this working in 2013, and then just completely gave up on it like 2-years later, but who would want a voice controlled smart living room?

My biggest issue with the Hisense tv that you mentionned, is that if you don't live in the USA, then it's not exactly clear whether the U7H model exists or not because they either use the same model name but it's not the same tv, or it's just a different model name, or perhaps that specific model doesn't exist at all.

You mentioned this TVs user interface will include your cable control. How does it do that? Is there a widget you add? Thanks for the great content. Cmon 1 million subs!!

[@estusflask982]

[@HCGonzalezJr87]

Video for another time? Will you be making a SmartTV privacy video? By default all these TVs track everything you do if you accept the EULA during setup. An awareness video would be appreciated. Not sure if there’s capability but on the extreme end running everything through a proxy and capturing network traffic (installing self signed very to view TLS traffic) to show just how much these TVs are listening/watching/tracking you might be a surprise to most viewers.

[@mromutt]

They are sold out now but these just went on sale for black friday for like $500! from this review that seems like a steal. I may or may not be getting one for christmas lol

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

I've seen a 75 inch of this TV going for 600.00 dollars. If this TV is at least as good as a TCL 5 series or a Hisense U7H it might attract the average consumer that's not looking to spend a lot of money for a TV but get a large size.

Agree with your Recommendation.. Hisense makes excellent TV's.

More interested in the TV than the OS. I would much rather have a display only without the "smart" bits that slow it down and which are outdated in a couple of years. I use external devices for streaming anyway, those are cheap enough and can be upgraded anytime.

Looks like the Hisense U7H vesa mount is 600x300.... My existing mount doesn't list this an option, so little worried about jumping into that unit and having to get a new tv mount. my mount has 600 x 400, and 500 x 400 and then all the like x like combinations etc. My guess it doesn't support a 600x300 pattern.

Great info, I wish it was a day earlier. I just bought a Hisense U8H from Amazon (not delivered yet) but when I did my research on the Omni series, I don't think this one was out yet because it didn't match your description. I think I'll be happy with my decision, but admitedly, the artwork mode looks pretty cool. Also, I do plan on sticking a Fire Stick on it, although I am curious about messing with the Google OS. Caleb mentioned the Fire Cube. Has anyone gone from a Fire Stick 4K to the Cube and as it worth the upgrade?

[@Michael45007]

I have U8H and you don't need a fire stick for it. The Google OS is really good. I also have Roku on the other TCL TV and when comparing the two, Google OS wins big time. It's so snappy that you don't need firestick.They are easily customizable and you can calibrate all kind of settings that you wouldn't normally find on any TV OS. That being said, you won't regret it one bit. The best bang for the buck. Also, be sure to calibrate it when you get it out of the box. Rtings has great calibration settings you can use which is what I use.

[@anr2923]

I think you made the right choice. I've been tracking both the Hisense U8H and this specific QLED version which I knew was up only for pre-order on Amazon until yesterday. Based on stunning reviews for the U8H across many KZbin channels and the fact that the U8H has 2x peak brightness and maybe 3x more dimming zones than this Amazon QLED, you simply can't go wrong with the U8H. As Caleb said, buying a U7H/U8H and slapping a FireStick on it might be better. Note: I prefer FireStick simply because I already got Ring devices in my house and they get along well with each other. I'm also waiting for the delivery of my U8H and since it's so far off, I just ordered a U7H from Costco and want to see if it's something I can settle for considering the $200 difference from the U8H and better warranty from Costco. Caleb seems to be recommending the U7H over the U8H unless it's a bright room so I really wan't to see before I can decide.

[@Michael45007]

@@anr2923 I have U8H. I also have firestick but I don't use it as I prefer the Google OS over it. U7H is recommended because they are cheaper for the price by $150. Rtings gave U7H rating of 8.0 while Rtings gave U8H 8.6. The brightness is what makes U8H really stand out compared to the competition though.

[@dontsurroundurselfwithurself]

@@anr2923 Wow, thank you You you just summarized my process exactly. The Costco deal is better than it seems if you get an extended warranty bc it is so much cheaper than Amazon's (Best Buy is really REALLY proud of their Geek Squad plans, so I didn't consider purchasing from there). I was torn between the 75" U7H and the 65" U8H. Both are the same price, if you include the warranties. The main reason I chose Amazon is bc of the current promo (100 days/$100 No Regrets), which is not applicable for Costco purchases. Costco always allows 90 day returns anyway, but I'd have to rent a vehicle big enough to do that.
