Amazon has taken the wraps off its first-ever in-house 4K TV series, called the Amazon Fire TV Omni Series, that was designed to compete with LG, Samsung and Sony televisions.
The new series of televisions will be available starting in October in 43-, 50-, 55-, 65-, and 75-inch sizes – but for now Amazon says they’ll only be available in the US at Best Buy and Amazon.
What separates the Omni Series from other TVs – even the Amazon Fire TVs that were developed with Toshiba and Insignia – is a deeper level of integration with Amazon’s own services.
For starters, it’s the first Alexa Home Theater device that can use Amazon Echo devices as surround sound speakers. In addition, the Omni comes with a built-in microphone for Alexa commands (similar to the Fire TV Cube) and they’ll offer several new commands like “Alexa, What Should I Watch?” that will make their debut on the Omni series.
