Although the Amazon Fire TV brand is primarily associated with the company's media streaming devices, a fairly decent selection of TVs use the Fire TV as their operating system. After all, it's easy to use, offers access to all popular streaming apps, and has Alexa digital assistant for voice control. The Fire TVs are available from several manufacturers, including Amazon itself. The e-commerce giant joined the likes of Insignia, Pioneer, and Toshiba in 2021 to introduce its first Fire TVs.

One of the highlights of Amazon Fire TVs is the pricing. All Fire TV models are affordably priced and mainly targeted at consumers who want bang-for-the-buck TVs. If you are in the market for a value-for-money television, you can't go wrong with a Fire TV model. Here are the best Fire TVs to get you started.

Amazon Fire TVs for an exceptional entertainment experience

The Fire TV Omni QLED Series is Amazon's current flagship and the best Fire TV you can buy if money is no bar. It builds upon the company's original Fire TV Omni television and brings several improvements, including quantum dot technology. The quantum dot technology helps the TV display richer and more lifelike colors than you'll find on the regular Fire TV Omni. Amazon has also expanded the HDR support, and the Omni QLED Series can display every HDR format you'll find, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+. Plus, as the TV supports the newer Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive, it can adjust its HDR brightness depending on the ambient lighting conditions.

The Fire TV Omni QLED Series is also the first Amazon-branded TV to employ full-array local dimming. So the TV can better control the LED backlighting, which helps improve the already excellent contrast of the panel. Gamers will be happy to know that this Amazon Fire TV model supports variable refresh rate (VRR) technology to reduce screen-tearing while playing games. But unfortunately, the screen is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, and there are no HDMI 2.1 ports. Instead, you get four HDMI 2.0 ports, including an eARC port to pass-through audio to the connected soundbar or AV receiver. This TV also supports Alexa voice commands, allowing you to search for shows, change inputs, or pause a movie hands-free.

Hisense's 2021 lineup was known for offering incredible value for money, and its 2022 TVs are no different. The Hisense U6HF, the company's first Fire TV model, is an aggressively priced 4K LCD TV with a quantum dot layer for accurate and vibrant colors. The TV also comes with full-array local dimming to enhance the contrast ratio. In terms of HDR, Hisense has loaded support for HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, and Dolby Vision, which means you can enjoy all high dynamic range content on the market. Unfortunately, although Hisense claims variable refresh rate support in the U6HF, the TV's 60Hz native refresh rate leaves little room for the feature to shine. That said, gamers will be happy to see the auto low latency mode (ALLM) on the TV.

In other features, you get four HDMI 2.0 ports, including an eARC port, a USB 2.0 port, an Ethernet port, AV In, and an audio jack. However, you can only buy the U6HF in 50-inch and 58-inch sizes. But if you're wanting a larger TV, you can opt for the top-tier Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED Series.

The Fire TV 4-Series is Amazon's low-end television. But you will be happy to know that it has many of the same features as the Fire TV Omni. So if you are tight on the budget and need a decent television, the Fire TV 4-Series is worth considering.

The 4-Series features a 4K VA-type LCD panel that offers a fantastic native contrast ratio and deep blacks. The television is also HDR-capable, but it doesn't support any of the dynamic HDR formats, such as HDR10+ or Dolby Vision. While you can enjoy HDR content, you'll get an average experience. There is little to excite the hardcore gamers on this Amazon TV, but its incredibly low input lag and ALLM support will come in handy for casual gamers.

The Fire TV Omni Series was Amazon's flagship Fire TV model for 2021 but has since been supplanted by the Fire TV Omni QLED. Still, the company has filled this one with everything you would expect in a decent TV. For example, it has a 4K LCD panel with a great contrast ratio that will enhance your dark room viewing experience — additionally, the TV houses four HDMI 2.0 ports, including one that supports eARC. So you will be able to connect multiple devices and even pass through high-quality audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X to your soundbar or AV receiver.

It's also one of the few Fire TV models to include hands-free Alexa support that allows you to issue commands to the TV without needing the bundled voice remote. This is possible because of the TV's built-in far-field microphone array. Other features include Dolby Vision HDR support, but it's limited to 65-inch and 75-inch versions, which have slightly better build quality and design than the smaller sizes.

The Toshiba C350 sits below the M550 in the company's TV portfolio. Although it's not as feature-rich as the M550, it provides a decent feature set for the price tag. Some of the TV's highlights include 4K resolution, Dolby Vision support, and an eARC port. Apart from the eARC port, there are three more HDMI ports that you can use to connect devices like a Blu-ray player, gaming console, and AV receiver. The C350 is also a decent option for gaming, thanks to the TV's low input lag, great response time, and ALLM. But it lacks advanced gaming features such as VRR.

An important detail to remember about the C350 is that the TV uses different LCD panel types for different sizes. For example, while the 50-inch model has a VA-type panel, the 55-inch variant comes with an IPS-type panel. Unfortunately, the panel specifics of other sizes are unclear. But it will either be a VA-type or an IPS-type panel. Notably, the VA-type panels are known for their excellent contrast ratio but have narrow viewing angles, while the IPS-type panels have superb viewing angles but a mediocre contrast ratio. One of the drawbacks of the Toshiba C350 is its inability to upscale 480p and 720p content properly. So if you watch a lot of DVDs or lower-resolution content, our other recommendations will better serve you.

The Insignia F30 is one of the cheapest Amazon Fire TV models on the market. So if you want an inexpensive television for your dorm or guest room, it deserves a place on your shortlist. The TV has a 4K resolution and three HDMI ports, including an eARC port to pass through uncompressed audio to a connected soundbar.

The Fire TV platform on the F30 offers the same bells and whistles as every other TV on this list. So you can use the included voice remote with Alexa to call up the latest season of The Umbrella Academy from Netflix or Westworld from HBO Max. Additionally, you can control the Alexa-compatible smart home devices with the F30. The dynamic HDR formats are missing, but the TV can still display HDR content. Lastly, the TV comes in various sizes, from 43-inch to 75-inch, giving you ample choice to get the most suitable size for you.

An affordable, 4K experience

Amazon Fire TVs have become an appealing option if you want an affordable but feature-rich television. One of the best things about the Fire TVs is that they all come preloaded with the Alexa personal assistant. The voice commands are especially useful when searching for shows or movies without having to type on the remote. Not only can Alexa pull up your favorite shows and apps in a matter of seconds, but you can also ask her a ton of fun questions, also ask for jokes, songs, or even an Alexa-curated poem or two. Aside from the fun these Fire TVs bring, the features are all accounted for as well.

The best overall Fire TV available today is Amazon's own Fire TV Omni QLED. With flawless Alexa integration, this TV has a built-in microphone array ready to respond the moment you request your personal Alexa assistant — no buttons required. It also has quantum dot technology, full-array local dimming, and Dolby Vision HDR support. Packed full of apps and designed to keep up with most fast-paced gaming, this superior TV does come in at a higher than usual cost. Starting at $800, the Fire TV Omni QLED is the best Alexa TV money can buy you, but if you're looking to save a bit of money and Alexa integration isn't a top consideration for you, the Hisense U6HF is a solid 4K TV option at a fraction of the price.

While appealing to budget shoppers, the Hisense U6HF is anything but a low-quality, budget TV. Rightfully earning a premium pick, this TV has everything from Dolby Vision support to quantum dot technology, offering up a fantastic viewing experience all around. The color range on this TV alone is worth considering, especially if picture quality and intensity are more your forté. The Amazon Fire TV 4-Series makes the most sense if your budget is tight but you still want a capable television. It's similar to the Fire TV Omni, though it lacks Dolby Vision HDR and hands-free Alexa support.

If none of these TVs strike your fancy, there are still plenty of other great smart TV options that you can pair with the best Fire TV streaming devices to complete your Alexa-based entertainment setup. If Alexa is not your assistant of choice, and perhaps you're looking for something a little different, you can also opt for a quality Android projector for a fun new take on movie nights.
