'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

As Amazon's top-tier Fire TV, the Omni QLED Series features Alexa built-in, giving users hands-free access to Alexa, as if you added an Echo speaker. It also supports the Ambient Experience, which transforms your TV from a black box to a canvas, letting you display over a thousand pieces of artwork or use generative AI to create your own. The user experience is in addition to a 4K QLED display for bolder colors and high-quality images.
When was Amazon's October Prime Day 2023?
Amazon's October sales event, called Prime Big Deal Days ran from Oct. 10-11.
Amazon Prime Day is the event that takes place each July, but Amazon started holding an extra 48-hour event in October last year, ahead of the holiday season.
How did we choose these Amazon October Prime Day deals?
To find the best Fire TV deals we combine our Fire TV panels and streaming devices knowledge with the price history, extensive research, and other smart TVs on the market.
As the owner of a couple of Fire TVs and even more Fire TV Sticks, I can personally say that you can't go wrong with a Fire TV product -- especially when you're looking to save some cash. These smart TVs are an all-in-one: a smart platform with FireOS, good image quality, and affordable, especially during Prime Day and the upcoming Prime Big Deal Days.
We make our deal recommendations based on market knowledge, years of experience, and our own testing to ensure we're sharing deals worth your time and consideration.
Who makes Amazon Fire TV?
Amazon started making its own smart TVs a few years ago. These Fire TVs come with the FireOS system built-in, with an Alexa Voice Remote or newer, and some, like those in the Omni Series, also feature hands-free Alexa.
There are still other manufacturers that sell Fire TVs, however. Insignia, Toshiba, and TCL also make their own smart Fire TVs.
What is the best Fire TV?
The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the best Fire TV player overall, as it's the fastest, most versatile, and future-proof Fire TV Stick device available.
As far as Fire TV panels are concerned, the newer Fire TV Omni Series QLED is Amazon's high-end lineup of televisions, and it happens to be perfect for Alexa users. The entire line of Omni Series Fire TVs features hands-free access to Alexa, so users don't have to press a button on their remote or have a separate Echo device to talk to the voice assistant.
