Customers are saying

Customers admire the 43” Class LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV Edition TV for its exceptional picture quality, affordable price, and simple setup process. The Fire TV integration is also well-received. However, some users have concerns about the durability of the TV, with reports of short lifespans and screen issues. Additionally, the remote control could be improved for better user-friendliness, and the viewing angle is slightly limited.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    After about a year of owning this brand television, the video is darkened to the point where it is barely visible. And I'm seeing a constant video flash about every 3s. No matter what video adjustment I make, it just won't brighten up.

    This TV is such a waste of money. Didn’t even last me a complete year. It’s also too much of a hassle to get repaired as they will not come to your home under manufacture warranty. I guess I got what I paid for! Do not buy this brand!

    I've had this TV for 16 months, the screen went black today, should have known when the first one I picked up had a busted pixel right out of box. Very disappointed, I have a Bravia TV that is 12 years old never an issue.

    Good display, ok remote, horrible live tv controls

    Pro -Inexpensive -HDR -Remote is non-LoS wireless -Can pause live TV Con -Entire menu system is FireOS -Live TV interface and control is an afterthought -Remote has limited buttons Overall It's a basic 4K TV at it's heart ( yeah, duh ) with unsubstantial stats. It's only 60 Hz, so it still has to deal with dejudder. It's only LED lit, not OLED, so black levels are ok but not great. These aren't bad marks. For only $300, you can't be mad about a decent but not great display. It's not going to wow anyone, but it won't let you down, either. The bonus is it does have HDR support, so you get a little extra for the money. The integration of Amazon Fire is the big story here. But this isn't a TV that just has a built-in Fire system. The Fire OS is used for the TV's entire menu system. Inputs, display controls, channel memory, EVERYTHING in this TV is controlled through the FireOS interface. Anyone who's used an Amazon Fire TV dongle or stick will be right at home with this. I'd prefer the TV specific controls ( like picture quality and audio output ) to be in their own menu outside the FireOS because anytime you want to change anything, you have to stop what you're watching, go to the Fire home page, and then into the settings. When you're done, you then have to navigate back to what you were doing before. Maybe I'm olde school, but I prefer the small transparent pop-ups that let me make changes and then go immediately back to what I was doing. When on a given input, you can bring up a small side menu without going back to Amazon home, but not a complete system menu. The remote, no surprise, is a modified Fire TV remote, complete with voice control. But whereas normal Fire remotes are Bluetooth only, this one also includes IR so it can also control you other AV devices. While it's great to have a non-line-of-sight remote, the remote itself is quite limited. It has no number buttons or channel up/down. No last channel recall button. No buttons for closed-captioning, audio switching, input switching, or any soft-programmable buttons. All this hints at the TV's focus on online streaming services and ignoring live broadcast TV. Apart from no buttons on the remote for direct channel control, the menu to change channels is very limited. You can only change channel from a channel guide list. The list is sorted alphabetically by channel broadcast name and you can't change that ( some of us still remember channel numbers ). You can save channels to your favorites list, will be shown at the top of the list, or just hide them altogether, but no other filtering or sorting options are there. The redeeming feature for live TV is the ability to pause it by saving a temporary rolling recording to its internal storage. If you don't load down with a lot of Amazon/Android apps, you can get about 2.5 minutes. However, you can also plug in a USB flash drive to the TV to extend its storage capacity, and thus pause time ( a 32GB drive gives you more than 30 minutes ). In the end, it's still hard to fault the TV given its price. For $300 you're getting a great work-horse 4K HDR TV with a slightly better than average display. The hardware inside is plenty strong to run 4K streaming services. If the majority of your viewing habits revolve around Prime Video, Netflix, and other subscription services, you'll be very pleased. If you watch a lot of live TV, you'll be a little frustrated with the remote.

    I got this TV to replace the one in my bedroom. Stepping up to 4K at this price is great. When our cable company went 100% digital I opted to use Fire Sticks on the bedroom TVs instead of renting boxes from the cable company, so I was familiar with the interface. I've tested many of the apps, voice control... and they all work quite well. Even though it's set up to be controlled by Alexa and Alexa perfectly understands commands from my Texas dialect, I still find myself going to the remote unit. I guess it's the old dog new tricks thing... The picture is a huge improvement over the 1080p unit it replaced. The sound is perfect for our bedroom. Assembly and setup were simple. For me this is a great 4K TV with lots of features at a bargain price.
