Customer Ratings & Reviews

We bought 3 of these they don't work well together in the same office. Its the wifi connection. I think its a good unit if only one per household

This TV is geared to those who don't watch traditional TV. It seems more like a 55" computer screen that does TV too.

ok system, did not realize that with a tv set up for Fire / netflix etc systems you have to go through extra steps to get to the input port for Comcast cable

The Toshiba Fire TV Edition is the first television to integrate the Amazon Fire TV and Alexa Voice Remote, and it is a fantastic combination taking the next level up from a smart tv to that of interactive artificial intelligent tv. Amazon put its brand name on this television and it is apparent that they worked hard with Toshiba and Best Buy to provide a quality, well made, value oriented 4K UHD television for the consumer. Here's what I liked about the tv: (1) Seamless set up. After the usual attachment of the support legs, you fire up the tv, allow it to connect to your wifi network and perform its firmware updates, and you're ready to go. (2) Multiple inputs. Three HDMI ports one of which is HDMI ARC, one optical (toslink) output, one 3.5mm audio out jack, a usb2.0 port, Ethernet connector, Antenna/Cable In, and RCA input. Plenty enough to connect both legacy and modern audio equipment. (3) Very good, crisp and sharp picture. Out of the box, the tv had good color, saturation, contrast, and sharpness. Images are bright and vivid, skin tones are well reproduced. I was impressed with the picture quality especially at this price point. (4) Bluetooth. I love the bluetooth feature. With bluetooth built in to the tv, you can connect game controllers, a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and best of all, your bluetooth headphones or even a bluetooth speaker. I enjoy watching television and movies late into the night and having bluetooth built in to the tv is a major plus as I can continue watching with my bluetooth headphones without disturbing my family members. (5) Alexa Voice Remote. I came from a traditional tv with a conventional remote control which had all the numbered buttons for selecting channels. I'll admit that when I first saw the Alexa Voice Remote, I had a little bit of anxiety since it looked so minimalistic with only a few buttons, a control wheel, and a voice button. To tune into specific over-the-air channels, you'll need to press the voice button and say, for example, “Alexa turn to channel 7.1” After a week of using the remote, I can say that I'm starting to get used to the voice commands. Interacting with the tv with voice commands is a paradigm shift and I think that Amazon purposely created a remote with so few buttons so that our brains can be re-trained to do everything with our voices. The Alexa Voice Remote is basically the Amazon Alexa that we all know and love, only now its built into the television and not simply into a speaker like an Echo. You can do so much with it. Tell it to switch inputs by saying “Alexa, switch to HDMI 1” or “Alexa switch to composite”. Turn the volume up by saying “Alexa increase the volume” (6) It's not just a television anymore. With the built-in Fire TV, you can download and run apps such as games. I downloaded a simple game such as CrossyRoad and it was just mesmerizing seeing my kids playing it on a big screen tv and not some 5” smart phone screen. The tv is also now an internet browser. Download the Amazon Silk browser and Firefox browser and you have the internet on you tv. Download a music app like Pandora and stream music via wifi (without the bluetooth compression) through your television or connected soundbar. You get the picture...The possibilities are endless. (7) USB port isn't only for storage. Yes, you can attach a memory stick for storage or view photos. But just for kicks and giggles I attached a usb receiver into the usb port in the tv, and it instantly recognized my wireless keyboard and mouse. I couldn't think of anything significant that I disliked about the television. This isn't a perfect television, it's just that it has all the features that fit my needs as an average consumer. Oftentimes with televisions, you'll hear the usual complaints that the audio from the built-in speakers sound like they're coming out of tin cans. However, I didn't find that to be the case with the Toshiba Fire TV. The audio from the internal speakers didn't sound bad, but it didn't sound great either. Turn off the surround sound feature and the built in speakers are tolerable. Voices and dialogue are clear. Here's my two cents on how to get the most out of this television. (1) Create a Favorites List of over-the-air (ota) channels. I live in a large metropolitan area where I receive over a hundred ota stations, most of which I never watch. I only watch a dozen or so large network stations such as CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, and others. If you go into one of the settings menus on the tv, you can quickly create a favorite list of the ota channels you typically watch. This way, instead of using voice commands to tell Alexa to change the channels, you can simply use the control wheel of the Alexa Voice Remote and quickly scroll through your favorite channel list instead of the one hundred plus frivolous channels. In this way, the remote acts more like a conventional remote with the familiar channel up and channel down keys. (2) Use the RECENT ROW feature. Everytime you power on the television, by factory default, the television will display the Amazon Prime screen with the latest Amazon Prime programming and apps. Instead of this you may wish to power on the television to display the last television station you were watching or function (e.g. HDMI) you were using right before you turned off the television. This is where the RECENT ROW comes in handy. It allows you to do just that. It's located in the Display & Sounds sub-menu in Settings. (3) To experience the best picture quality in the Toshiba Fire TV, you'll need to pair it with some 4K content. Find some 4K content to stream or purchase a 4K UHD Blu Ray player and some 4K movies to watch. The 4K quality is amazing. The Toshiba Fire TV lists the television as HDR. I'm assuming here that it is HDR 10. Would have been great if it was Dolby Vision, but that would have increased the price of the tv due to the licensing fee. (4) Even though this is an Amazon Fire TV, you're not limited to viewing only Amazon Fire TV content. Remember you have three available HDMI ports. You can always stick a Google Chromecast in there and watch content that isn't available on Amazon Fire TV (think YouTube). That's what I did. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this television to those who are already subscribed to the Amazon Prime and Fire TV ecosystem. The price is competitive and the television offers good value in the sense that it has a lot of features, input, and has very good picture quality.

We love this TV it’s perfect for living room or master bedroom. It’s slow to load the apps sometimes but overall works great!!

Very good tv for a very good price and deal. Excellant color and design

It's an ok tv. I wouldn't recommend for your main tv because picture quality isn't the best. But for the price it's a decent tv for a bedroom, etc.

Slow connection to Direct TV, fast connection to internet. still recommend to anyone, especially if you not connected to cable or dish.

too hard to use for my mom. great for a teenager or young adult but not for a senior citizen

The picture quality in this TV wasn’t as good as a bigger Samsung I bought a year earlier for less. With all same options.

Picture seems to look washed out. You can only adjust the pictures qualities in the menu, not when the video is playing.

Not sure if I like the 4K the picture looks to fake to me. Not sure it's that the TV needs to be a lil further.

It doesn't let me surf other streaming sites like my last LG tv. It does have accessibility to a lot of Apps.

it is an okay basic tv, is sleek and styli but seems to be cheaply made. It is however a good starter tv.

Parts of screen flutter once in awhile. Thought it was part of show at first then noticed more on shows

Bought this tv a little over a year ago. Within one year we had to replace the boards twice. These two repairs were under warranty. Now that the warranty has ended the tv has failed for the third time. Dealing with Toshiba customer service is absolutely terrible as well.

I purchased this tv, brought it home and within less than 24hrs called the store so I can return it. Picture is pixelated and blotchy, it freezes and looks almost to shake or spasm at times. I used it to watch a movie with my daughter and the whole time the picture would lag, and freeze. I don’t know if this is just an isolated incident with my particular tv, but being the tech person that I am, I am very disappointed.

Audio won't work after 2 days of purchased. On the phone for hours with several rep. To fix the issue.

I don't like the remote and it took to long to get the tv

Good price but that's all I found good about. Returned it.
