When Amazon first announced that it was moving into selling its own brand of TV hardware, expectations weren’t high. Surely the resulting sets were just going to be OEM knockoffs with no more ambition than providing a built-in home for Amazon’s Fire TV operating system and undercutting more established rivals on price, right?
Happily (for cash-strapped consumers and Amazon, anyway) the Amazon TVs we’ve seen so far have largely proved those initial expectations wrong. For, while they do indeed carry Amazon’s Fire TV interface and cost relatively little, with the exception of the awful 43-inch Omni QLED they’ve also performed much better than expected. Can this trend really continue, though, with the most entry-level model in Amazon’s current TV offering, the 32-inch Fire TV 2-Series?
