The best cheap 4k TV we've tested is the Amazon Fire TV Omni Series. If you're on a tight budget and can't afford to get a TV like the Hisense U6G, there are still cheaper options with okay overall performance. It comes with the Fire TV platform, which has a user-friendly smart interface.

It's available in a wide range of sizes, from 43 to 75 inches, and for the most part, the smaller sizes perform like the 65 inch model we tested, but the 43, 50, and 55 inch versions don't support Dolby Vision. It looks good in dark rooms as it has an excellent native contrast for deep blacks, and there isn't too much blooming around bright objects, but it doesn't have a local dimming feature to improve it. It even has eARC support, so you can connect a receiver or soundbar and pass high-quality Dolby Atmos signals to enhance your movie-watching experience.

Sadly, it doesn't display a wide range of colors in HDR, and it doesn't get bright enough to deliver an impactful HDR experience. Also, it's not as good as other TVs at upscaling 480p and 720p content, as it stretches out the image, but it's still fine if you watch SD or HD cable channels. Besides that, it's the best cheap TV we've tested.

 Power and Alexa buttons, along with a pinhole microphone, sit above the pad. Menu and playback controls are below the pad, with channel and volume rockers below them. Four dedicated service buttons for Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, and Netflix can be found near the bottom. The remote connects wirelessly to the TV so you don&rsquo;t need line of sight, but it also has an IR emitter

 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.

Amazon Fire TV Omni (65-Inch) Review

Final tally: two mandatory agreements, plus Alexa privacy policy and data sharing settings that are specific to Fire TV.

In some ways, Amazon’s new effort shows big promise. The Alexa integration is more thorough and full-featured than what you’d get using a Fire TV stick: in addition to launching your favorite streaming apps or searching for content with your voice, you can also switch between TV inputs. And you can query Alexa when the TV’s display is fully off for simple information like the weather or to play music. The Omni also supports features like Apple AirPlay 2, which Amazon’s streaming players still do not, and you can plug a webcam into the TV’s USB port for video calls with Echo Show devices right now and Zoom and other apps later on

 The new Fire TV Omni series delivers 4K HDR picture in multiple sizes that start at aggressively low prices: the 50-inch model costs $359.99 at the time of this review. Only the largest 65-inch and 75-inch models include Dolby Vision HDR, which, in Amazon’s own words, allows for “a more cinematic experience.” All of the Omni TVs run Amazon’s Fire TV software and have built-in mics for hands-free Alexa voice commands — even when the screen is off

 And you can query Alexa when the TV’s display is fully off for simple information like the weather or to play music.

Amazon’s first TV has an appealing price and useful features but isn’t on par where it counts

e. dialogue clarity). Ironically, one of the biggest disappointments for reviewers, has been one of the few things that I'm actually pleased with here. It's also super easy to just tell Alexa where you want the sound level

 I've yet to use a camera with the Omni, but when I kid you not, when I asked it to display my Ring Doorbell, it said that "cameras were not supported on this device" or something akin to that. It later began working fine with my cameras, so I guess it just took a while to get things straight. Btw, my old dumb TV actually had a few advantages over the Omni, as well, adding to my mixed feelings here.  Finally, I want to talk about the included "Fire Cube", advanced Alexa implementation or whatever they call it

I have very mixed opinions about the Omni 43", which I've only had for a few days now. I mainly chose this television for 2 reasons: 1) I wanted a smart TV, so I could watch OTA channels without switching inputs. And 2), I'm already invested in the Amazon ecosystem, so why wouldn't I go with a FireTV? That it's even an Amazon product has to be a plus, right?  Err, maybe. The Amazon payment option also figured into my decision

 This is why I chose this TV and I consider it a huge feature, since I don't live in the safest neighborhood. It doesn't seem to work with the original Ring Doorbell, however.  Unfortunately, recent updates have also made the sound worse. I often have to turn the volume way up to hear it now and the volume slider moves very slow

Mixed Bag

 If I had owned big modern TVs before, this might be a 1star review. It's far lower in overall quality, in every way, (granted, much cheaper) than my 90s Sony big screen TV, even with its limited resolution. Lighter and smaller, though, even though same size. Hope this helps someone!

 Settings are very confusing. Nothing seems like it's where it should be, esp on the big gear menu from the Home screen. The remote settings overlay (from remote) is slightly better but menus arranged differently. Oh, and the teenie, tiny remote really stinks, but I have a remote control phone app which helps, although not worth it just to do volume and other simple things

 If you wall mount it, this will not be true, so may be6much quieter. But it's much better than I thought and the sound approximates as home theater-ish as it can (not much, granted!). The preset EQ is terrible. There's no separate bass, treble, mid settings

 I can hear it just fine and there's enough audio settings, esp voice enhancing, to set it to hear around my apt. I have it on its stand, on a table, so there's room for the sound to reflect off the table. If you wall mount it, this will not be true, so may be6much quieter. But it's much better than I thought and the sound approximates as home theater-ish as it can (not much, granted!)

Better than expected picture, but

 NOT. STOP. The remote wouldn't do anything. The only way to shut it off was to physically unplug it

  Then there's the built-in Alexa, which probably was the thing that convinced me to buy this TV over others at the same price point. The feature works fairly okay, but only if what you want isn't ALSO on Prime Video, otherwise it will automatically open the series from Prime Video, where you probably hadn't been watching. Your fiancé wants to binge watch Downton Abbey on Netflix for a *second time*? Well, unfortunately that show is *also* on Prime Video, so you'll get it with ads now and you'll start from the beginning if you dare ask the TV to "launch Downton Abbey on Netflix." I think the programming here is transparent: it's showcasing Amazon's collection

 It didn't seem to be responding to a wake word or anything, it just suddenly lit up. I am confused about this because my first thought was that the remote was highly sensitive - each time this has happened I'd found it face down somewhere. However, no amount of light pressure or position of the remote seems to cause it. I'm still trying to figure out the cause

Somewhat Disappointed

”. This saves clicking the remote button multiple times and is easier to execute. 10. Integration to my Ring Doorbell and 4 cameras around my property works great

 The Omni TV supports either full screen as well as Picture in Picture and is voice-activated. “Show me the Front Yard Camera” is all that is needed to bring up the picture….very easy to do. 11

 You can control attached Sound Bars, DVD players, and Cable boxes with this TV (like the Fire TV Cube). With 4HDMI ports, you have a lot of expansion capabilities. It comes with an IR blaster that can be used for non-bluetooth devices. 15

 All my TP-Link KASA smart plugs can be activated via voice through the Omni TV, i.e. “Turn on the bedroom lights”., “Turn off my backyard landscape lights”, etc

Very nice 4K TV for a bedroom (4 stars), 3 Stars for a main TV Viewing area

I don't know what the magic bullet was, but Alexa can now communicate with Contour and change cable channels by voice command.  On that note, I really enjoy using Alexa to voice-control the cable TV, Prime, volume, mute, etc. It's so much more convenient than using remotes. But Amazon has to be careful about this technology, it's future iterations, and how it's used in the home, because it treads a fine line between convenience and invasion of privacy

 The only thing that works is the Mute button. I've asked Amazon support about this and they have no answers, not even wanting to admit that Alexa & Contour devices won't talk to each other.  Basically, the TV recognizes the Contour box, but won't control it. I have a feeling that Amazon deliberately doesn't want to integrate with Contour for their own reasons, but won't admit it, and falsely represents Alexa's compatibility and then wastes customers' time trying to pretend that they don't know about this when customers try to get support to resolve it

..but Alexa won't obey voice commands, such as, 'Change to channel 52'. And the Alexa remote buttons won't control channel changing, either, although I've paired the remote to the Contour box following the on-screen prompts, as well as re-doing the steps manually, according to Amazon's instructions and support website

Not happy with TV - Poor color and picture quality & no Alexa integration with Cox Cable Contour box

  The sound is really weak in the bass range, but the optical output works mostly (it does not work with Netflix for some reason) with my ILive sound bar (which the remote is able to control) to add bass back in it sounds ok. I didn't try other sound profiles, so maybe there are better ones.  Alexa integration work well (this my first Alexa product so I have nothing else to compare it too) except that it doesn't seem to know my TV has a sleep timer (it tells me it is not supported even though it's right there in the menu). Not sure if that is a software or hardware issue

 I won't purchase any more "big ticket" items from Amazon, and will be limiting my purchases here in the future. It seems Amazon has decided to no longer care about the customer anymore. Time to find a better vendor to give my business to.

Replace came (1st one had a shatter screen) and this one is good

..but I'm glad I didn't. I've got it sitting on one of those sturdier metal and plastic folding tables (like a card table but rectangular), and I've plugged my Mac Mini into one of the HDMI ports so I can also use it as a computer monitor

So far, so good
