Amazon has announced the first 4K Ultra HD Smart TV with a Fire TV experience built in and a Voice Remote with Alexa.

The company partnered with Element for the Element Fire TV Edition, a smart TV that is able to integrate your favorite streaming and live over-the-air content on a unified home screen (HD antenna required). An included Voice Remote with Alexa lets you control live TV playback, launch apps, search for TV shows, play music, switch inputs, control home smart devices, and more.




Live TV:
Fire TV Edition delivers your favorite live over-the-air TV broadcasts and streaming content on the home screen – enjoy over 15,000 channels, apps, and Alexa skills. Plus, you can subscribe to Sling TV, CBS All Access, and others to stream even more of your favorite TV shows without a cable subscription. Get universal search results across over 140 channels and apps including Netflix, Hulu, HBO NOW, SHOWTIME, STARZ, and Prime Video.

Fire TV Edition also makes it easy to discover new things to watch by recommending content you might enjoy. Watch as featured content or live TV shows come to life through auto-play previews. You can also connect your cable or satellite box through one of Fire TV Edition’s four HDMI ports.




Voice Remote With Alexa
Unlock the power of your TV using the included Voice Remote with Alexa. Alexa, the brain behind Amazon Echo, lets you use your voice to play TV shows, fast forward, rewind and pause, switch TV inputs, control smart home devices, and more – all you have to do is ask.

Just say, “Find dramas,” and Alexa will show you results from apps like Netflix, Hulu, HBO NOW, and Prime Video. Need to take a break? Simply say, “Pause,” to pause live over-the-air TV. Want to skip the opening credits? Say, “Fast forward a minute,” with Prime Video. Want to order a pizza? Check the weather? Dim the family room lights? Alexa can do that too.




4K Ultra HD
Over 8 million pixels combine to deliver breathtaking color, outstanding clarity, and deep contrast. Personalize your viewing experience with a variety of presets and picture setting options.

Fire TV Edition is built for speed and performance. It’s powered by a 1.1GHz quad-core CPU, multi-core 3D GPU chipset for instant search results and fast and fluid responsiveness. Connect easily with dual-band Wi-Fi, built in Bluetooth, and four HDMI ports.


Pricing and Availability:
The new Amazon Fire TV Edition is available in four sizes 43-inch, 50-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch for $449.99, $549.99, $649.99, and $899.99. You can pre-order at the link before for shipping on June 14, 2017.
