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).

    Had this tv less than a year and it blew out the brightness. It was definitely poor quality. I urge everybody to boycott Insignia tvs.

    TV lasted less than 2 years before dying. Lasting for only this short period of time is unacceptable . Too bad... I really liked this TV.

    It has not been a year and the tv blew out. Buy at your own risk if you don't mind having to buy another TV before a year then go for it.

    Great Starter 4K

    Straight out of the box, this Insignia 43" 4K TV - Fire TV Edition had a plastic smell. While the smell has faded, it is still present after about a week of ownership. It also has a bit of a buzzing sound during operation. This buzzing sound is imperceptible when there are sounds in any video, but I can hear it while scrolling through the menu system where there is no sound. During initial setup, I thought the power on process and menu system was being really slow. Thankfully, it was because several updates were being downloaded, applied in the background. There was at least one time I thought the updates were done, but the menu system was being very slow, then without any acknowledgement, a firmware update of the remote control occurred. I would have appreciated a scrolling message to indicate what was going on in the background during this initial setup. I also found that I had to wade deep into the menu system to set the zip code of the TV. It wasn't prompted during initial setup and it didn't pick this up from my Amazon account. It was set for some strange zip code that didn't make sense to me. Onto the TV performance. I think the picture performance right out of the box is very good. I was playing Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (UHD + HDR) which was automatically available from my digital movie account and the color and clarity were great. I will probably look up some calibrated picture settings at a later date, but I'm quite comfortable with the out-of-the-box picture. This TV is edge-lit. It was easily confirmed as the corners had dark spots. At this price range, I wasn't expecting local dimming. The menu system is a bit clunky. I hope they continually improve it via software updates. This being a Fire TV edition, Fire TV is thrown in your face when you turn it on. There is, however, an option to have the TV start in normal TV mode. I like having Alexa built in. It ties automatically to my smart home controls. Unfortunately, the sound left much to be desired. There is very little bass available from the speakers. I highly recommend pairing this TV up with a soundbar (especially one with a discrete subwoofer). The available connections surprised me. This TV has 3 HDMI connections (1 with HDMI ARC), Antenna In, Audio Out for headphones, USB port, Digital Optical for a speaker bar, but it also has Component In. The last one surprised me because I have another modern TV that no longer has Component In to handle legacy devices. If you're someone who's looking for an entry-level 4K+HDR TV with a built-in streaming device, this one performs well.
