Set your expectations
The color and picture is every bit as good as my more expensive tv. 90% of the time the tv works without delay. 10% of the time the clicking will have a slight delay (1-2 seconds) but will catch up and proceed like normal. I also experience jumping screen panes <10% of the time while watching football; how ironic seeing as they’re nfl endorsed. Overall, a good tv for the price. If I could do it again I would buy this years model and hopefully avoid the jitter.

Beautiful Picture, but Slow
The picture is beautiful and the TV itself is super light and easy to wall-mount. My only complaint is that the FIRE TV UI/Remote is as slow-laggy as an external Fire Stick, but if you can deal with that, it’s a great TV.
