Amazon has launched a new range of Fire TV screens, comprising updated versions of its Fire TV 2 Series, Fire TV 4 Series and flagship Fire TV Omni QLED Series. The new models boast a refreshed industrial design, with improved processing fuelling faster content discovery and generally usability.
Taking top billing is the Fire TV Omni QLED line, offering higher brightness, local dimming and enhanced picture processing. It’s supported by the Fire TV 4 Series, its everyday 4K mainstream offerings, and the entry-level HD Fire TV 2 Series.
Across all models, Amazon has introduced a revised quad-core processor, said to deliver a 30 per cent performance increase over previous generations.
Design updates include slimmer profiles and ultra-thin bezels on the 2 and 4 Series, while the Omni QLED models place greater emphasis on screen presence and ambient integration.
