Grundig Announces World's First Fire TV Edition Smart TV With Hands-free Voice Control
BERLIN, Sept. 6, 2019, /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Today in an evolving world, consumers are looking to brands to take the lead in 
enabling a better future. That's why Grundig has evolved to become a purposeful 
brand.  With that ambition, Grundig is innovating sustainable, aesthetic and 
high-quality products with right partners.
 
As a result of this, Grundig launches Germany's first Fire TV Edition 
televisions, including the world's first Fire TV Edition television with 
hands-free voice control and the world's first OLED Fire TV Edition TV, giving 
customers new ways to control their TV and enrich their entertainment 
experience.

Your voice has the power  

With the Grundig OLED – Fire TV Edition Hands-free with Alexa, ease of 
operation even goes a step further: Thanks to far-field technology, users get 
hands-free control over their living room entertainment experience. In 
addition, users get full screen visuals that complement Alexa voice responses 
on their Grundig TV screen. 

With far-field voice recognition with eight microphones and advanced 
beamforming technology, users can ask Alexa to turn on the TV, adjust the 
volume, and play, rewind, fast forward, and navigate through their favourite 
content from across the room. They can also search for a movie or genre, and 
switch channels with just their voice. Furthermore, users can control 
compatible smart home devices such as thermostats, lighting, smart blinds, 
smart locks or security cameras hands-free. Like all Fire TV Edition 
televisions, the Grundig OLED – Fire TV Edition Hands-free with Alexa will get 
better over time thanks to the Alexa voice service, which is always getting 
smarter.

The smartest window in your home

Grundig Fire TV Edition televisions bring together live broadcast TV and all 
your streaming channels on the home screen. Users can use Alexa to instantly 
search for and watch live broadcast TV or choose from a vast catalogue of 
streaming movies and TV shows with subscriptions from Netflix, YouTube, Prime 
Video, and more. Grundig Fire TV edition televisions also allow users to access 
live TV through streaming apps including ARD, ZDF, ProSieben, waipu.tv, and 
more. By connecting an HD antenna (DVB-T2 HD), cable (DVB-C) or satellite 
service (DVB-S2) or subscribing to Prime Video Channels such as Eurosport 
Player, MGM, Starzplay and others it's never been easier to stream live TV. For 
users who like to hear the latest music, Grundig's new televisions can also 
play songs, playlists, live radio stations, and podcasts from services 
including Amazon Music, Spotify, and TuneIn.

Grundig Fire TV Edition television comes with the Fire TV experience built-in, 
which continues to improve even after purchase, with new Alexa skills, software 
features, and applications added regularly and becomes a window to the outside 
world. There are thousands of Alexa skills already accessible today, giving 
amazing entertainment experiences, and letting users view and control their 
compatible smart home connected cameras, lighting, security systems, and more. 

Embedded with OLED TV technology

The new Grundig OLED – Fire TV Edition is the world's first Fire TV Edition 
television with OLED technology, blends with breath-taking colours, perfect 
sound and elegant design. This delivers infinite contrast, purest blacks and 
perfect colours thanks to self-illuminating pixels. This, combined with 
Grundig's new UHD+ Processor, ensures that the Grundig OLED – Fire TV Edition 
brings true-to life images to your home with incredibly rich colours, infinite 
contrast, perfect sharpness and fluid motions.

Built with an ultra slim design, the Grundig OLED – Fire TV Edition applies 
Dolby Vision(TM) technology* and Dolby Atmos(TM) Sound, including a three-way 
immersive sound system, to offer a cinematic viewing experience.

The Grundig OLED – Fire TV Edition with Ultra HD resolution comes in two sizes 
– 55" and 65", and customers can choose between a model with far-field voice 
control or without.

Grundig has also introduced two new LED TV series with the Fire TV experience
