It provides a feature-rich, Amazon-centric interface with a wide selection of apps and services. So Many FeaturesĪs its name indicates, the Omni runs on Amazon’s Fire TV platform, like the Toshiba C350 and Amazon’s own Fire TV media streamers. Another IR emitter on a long cable can be run into a cabinet to control your other home theater devices through the TV and the remote. The remote connects wirelessly to the TV so you don’t need line of sight, but it also has an IR emitter. Four dedicated service buttons for Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, and Netflix can be found near the bottom. Menu and playback controls are below the pad, with channel and volume rockers below them.

Power and Alexa buttons, along with a pinhole microphone, sit above the pad. It’s a flat, slightly rounded black rectangle with a large, circular navigation pad near the top. The remote is similar to the ones included with Fire TV media streamers. The TV stands on two widely placed, metal, V-shaped legs, or it can be mounted on the wall. Only the bottom edge has a bezel, a gunmetal strip with the Fire TV logo in the middle and a small protrusion with near-field microphones below that (a small switch on the underside turns off the mics). The screen is framed by an almost-as-thin black border, giving it a nearly bezel-less look. The Omni perks up an otherwise nondescript design with a bit of chrome around the edges. But it's packed with all the powerful features of Fire TV, including hands-free Alexa voice control, making it a compelling option for a new smart TV that won't break the bank. At $829.99 for the 65-inch model we tested, the Omni still leans more toward the budget-friendly end of the spectrum than flagship, and its picture quality reflects that. The Omni is one of Amazon’s first Fire TV-powered televisions, as well as the highest-end model in its new lineup. The Fire TV platform has driven Amazon’s own media streamers as well as many third-party TVs for years, but until now the company hasn't made any of its own TVs.
