At Amazon's annual hardware event, it announced a fleet of new Fire TVs, including an Omni QLED model, as well as new 2 and 4-series televisions. The QLED features an auto-adjusting screen for various lighting conditions, plus what the company calls omnisense presence detection. Amazon's Fire TV operating system powers TVs from various manufacturers, but the Omni series is its own flagship TV with a higher-end design, better specs, and a higher price.

The neighbor's reaction captures exactly what makes this television extraordinary. Hisense has fundamentally altered the premium television equation with Mini-LED technology, native 144Hz gaming, and Fire TV's most advanced features at a price point that seemed impossible just two years ago. After weeks of intensive testing across streaming, and cinematic content, I can confirm this 100-inch 100U65QF delivers experiences that traditionally required spending $4,000+ on competing premium displays.

While a variety of models are on sale, I want to focus on the two that have found their way into a few of our favorite television roundups. First up is the TCL QM6K (8/10, WIRED Recommends), a screen that impressed us with its excellent balance, screen uniformity, and color reproduction across the entire panel. It has great off-angle viewing too, if you've got a big or oddly shaped TV room, and has great quality-of-life features, like a dedicated eARC HDMI port for your soundbar.

Setting up the TCL QM7K is labor-intensive, with a complex pedestal design requiring multiple screws and lacking clear assembly instructions, resulting in a frustrating experience.

According to Hisense, ULED (or Ultra LED) is the company's proprietary 'ultimate viewing experience' that combines 20 different patents to create the most vivid and true-to-life viewing experience.
