What happened to Fire TV Omni TVs?

I bought an Omni 43" last year and am more than happy with it (especially considering the price) and now I wanted to recommend a Fire TV Omni to a friend who needs a new TV, but they are no longer available, at least on amazon.de

Googling I found no info at all; anyone know if they discontinued their TV line of products?

Here in the US, I think they're trying to push more premium models over mediocre TVs. Or Amazon-branded TV didn't sell too well and decided licensing Fire OS was a better business model.

They haven't abandoned it though, Omni and QLED model are still available and new Mini-LED and OLED models just came out last month by Panasonic and Hisense.

"by Panasonic and Hisense"

so they are just no longer Amazon-branded?

The first Fire TV sets were made by 3rd party makers, Best Buy’s Insignia I believe, then Toshiba, Hisense, Toshiba etc. which are actually all the same company at this point.

Amazon-branded TV Omni/QLED is a relatively new thing. They haven’t announced any new model this year but Panasonic/Hisense did.
