Amazon Fire TV 55" 4-Series 4K UHD smart TV with Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote, stream live TV without cable

Good quality great picture and sound love this TV

So far this tv has been a great replacement for our other tv! After doing some research, this fire tv seemed to give you the best bang for your buck. Setup was really easy, automatically connected with my Amazon account! Easy to use with our echo. The picture is great for the price you pay. Has great streaming options and has quite a few online live tv channels! No issues with clarity, freezing, or glitching.

I'm quite impressed with the quality of this TV for being so cheap ($249 at the time of purchase). The TV has excellent Image quality whether it's using Prime and Pluto via the TV itself, or connected to my PC or home media server depending on the display settings, I'd recommend that you avoid the "dynamic setting" for most media or turndown "action smoothing" to zero to avoid that ugly cheap soap opera look.As for audio, I'm satisfied with the built-in speaker and audio pre-set options and don't see the need to invest in a soundbar or other equipment unless you're a serious audiophile.At this time I haven't used the Alexa feature for this product.Pros:>Great picture quality>Great Audio quality>Reasonable price>Easy to physically set up>Simple to set up and connect your Amazon accountCons:>It's a smart device, which always poses potential security risksGeneral information: I'd highly recommend that go into preferences and turn off data collection and targeted adds under privacy immediately after your initial setup before you do anything else, though this may not effect third-party services available on this product.

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE:Updated to 4 stars. Maybe 4.5 considering the value price. Turning off HDR on both TV and Roku, plus turning off dynamic brightness on TV ended up helping a lot. Realize this TV has video profiles for each input so i had to change on each. No the picture and viewing angles don't compare to our 55" TCL QLED which has incredible viewing angles but that TV was kind 3x as expensive too. Plus apps seem to be optimizing quality as i use the TV more which helped a lot too. I debated editing my review but think it's still useful for others and Amazon to show a real world experience including the frustrations. A new issue I'm seeing is audio cutting out entirely during transitions between shows & ads that didn't happen on our old TV but thinking it's an app specific issue not the TVSo our old 1080 48" HD TV was finally on its last legs and we love our TCL Roku TV we use in the living room so i was ready to buy 55" Roku brand TV and happened upon this 55" FireTV with basically the same specs but almost 100 bucks cheaper so it was tough to justify buying the Roku TV especially since we have a Roku soundbar so don't really need a smart TV let alone built in Roku so i bit and ordered the FireTV. First impression wasn't great in that it took over an hour to do the initial setup thanks to all the updates that seemed to be in SV endless loop as they'd finish then low and behold it was doing more! eventually i got to actually try the TV.. at first it was very impressive and clearly better picture than our old HD TV. of course that was just menus as ran thru installing apps which took forever in part because they'd stick at 'installing' FOR HOURS.. i mean i only did 5 or 10 as i was finding the ones we use on Roku but it's ridiculous it should take hours to install the apps on our broadband connection. i think it was hung up because i restarted the FireTV and at first it seemed they were still stuck but then boom they all finished within seconds. no idea what the issue was but our Internet was definitely working. once apps were usable i sat down to watch a few things and things were washed out. I'd switch to other apps thinking it was just a particular one but everything was washed out. i tried adjusting video settings. i tried the Roku thru hdmi4. washed out. then i happened to stand up and the picture was better. not much but noticeable. i tried multiple apps while standing and indeed they all were better. then i stood directly in front of it dead center and the picture was incredible! if i duck down 2 feet or so and picture gets a little washed out but the big one is not being directly in front of the TV.. as i step sideways i can see tht picture wash out. and no not at 170 degrees but like 15 or 20. it reminds me of very early LCD flat panel TV's where you have to sit in front not off to side at all. i did find turning off HDR on FireTV and on the Roku it helped some (especially how dark things were) but really it depends more on what's being watched and the contrast of what's shown. I took video clip of paused Disney+ on Roku at 4k with HDR off to show an example even if it's not the worst of what I've seen in testing. Watch how the colors change even just moving a few feet to side and back to center. I do like the quick switch previous app option that Roku doesn't have though. Very handy feature I'll keep testing but honestly at the angle of my favorite chair (roughly 15 degrees down and 30 degrees left) it looks so bad trying to watch even just the news I'm not sure I'm keeping this TV..

Overall, I like this. This may be the same model I've already purchased two of, but not reviewed, or a close "variant". I love my Fire TVs though I felt that the earlier ones lacked enough space for applications.This is one I purchased for a different reason. I'm using it as a computer monitor. You have to be careful on this and if you're one who plays games, this might not be for you. It's absolutely NOT snappy fast as game players need, but for me doing my usual academic work (i.e. -grading) and setting up virtual machines and such, it's absolutely fine.I will say that I made the decision to buy it based on another user's review that it was suitable as a computer monitor and handled text well enough, which not all smart televisions can do when being used as a monitor.ProsEasy setupHas a nice picture, and adds HDR when being used as a computer monitorHas ample storage to add apps (around 12 GB)ConsIt can get a little strange as a computer display. You might find your scaling changed, may find you need to modify your refresh. Don't try and overdo it even if it's got refresh rate above 60 Hz, as mine showed. In my own tests, it appears to cause the screen to periodically blank out.Overall, I like it and I'd recommend it. The photo shown is me using it as a computer monitor.

Great TV! Very easy setup, great picture!
