Amazon's 43-inch Omni Series Fire TV with 15,000+ flawless ratings just dropped to $290

Need a new TV for your den, office, bedroom or some other spot where mid-size is the right size? Look no further: For a limited time, the Amazon 43-inch Fire TV Omni Series is on sale for $290. That's a hefty $120 off and an unbeatable deal for a set that'll likely last you a decade or more. The Omni Series is notable for a number of reasons, not the least of which is Amazon's baked-in Fire TV interface. This affords access to not only every major streaming service, but also a nifty selection of games and apps.

What we said about all those games and apps? Well, here's some big news: Zoom has joined that roster. Big-screen video calls, anyone? To use it, you'll need a USB camera. Amazon recommends one of Logitech's webcams, but theoretically any Zoom-compatible webcam should work.

All models in the Omni Series also support hands-free Alexa operation, meaning you can say things like, "Alexa, turn on the TV," or "Alexa, watch What We Do in the Shadows on Hulu," without ever touching the remote. I honestly didn't think that was a big deal until I started testing one of these TVs, but trust me: Hands-free commands are pretty convenient.

Features like that, along with the aforementioned app support, help give Fire TV the edge over Roku. And I say that as someone who tends to prefer the latter's interface. Right now, especially with the addition of Zoom support, Fire is winning the smart-TV war.

Ease of use versus performance

The Omni Fire TV is simple to use and gives easy access to all of your favorite services, especially with the four on-remote buttons that let you jump straight to Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, or Netflix. That said, some models — at least the 43-inch in particular — lack support for more advanced features. It doesn't support Dolby Vision at this size, although the same TV does support this feature at the 65-inch and 75-inch sizes.

This model is inexpensive, and larger sizes are on sale — but there are some features that aren't available with smaller TVs. That said, it does have three different HDMI ports, as well as a dedicated HDMI port for surround sound systems that will give you a more immersive experience.
