I’m not going to say you have to buy a TV over the Memorial Day weekend. But just between us: It’s a smart move, especially if you’re due for a home-theater upgrade: Bigger is always better, especially when it comes to viewing sports and blockbuster movies. And here’s good news: Amazon is heavily discounting a couple of its heaviest-hitting Fire TV Omni sets, with savings up to $250. These prices are actually on par with Black Friday!

This set comes with all the bells and whistles, including 4K Ultra HD, HDR10, Dolby Digital Plus, and more. It will give you one of the most cinematic home experiences of your life.

The Omni Series is notable for a few reasons, not the least of which is the integrated hands-free Alexa voice assistant. That means you can say things like, “Alexa, turn on the TV,” or “Alexa, go to Netflix,” without having to touch anything. Doesn’t sound like a big deal, but trust me when I say it quickly starts to become indispensable.

It’s everything you want out of a TV, including three separate HDMI ports to connect an entertainment system or video game console.

What’s more, you can plug in a compatible webcam to enjoy big-screen Zoom calls. (Find out what happened when I tried out this feature.)
The 75-inch model adds Dolby Vision to the mix, a technology that promises a more “cinematic” experience. (That’s code for “even better picture.”)
My take: If your budget allows, splurge. It pays to go big, whether he’s settling in for a summer of baseball or the next installment in the Fast & Furious franchise.
