Customers are delighted by the picture quality, price, and easy setup of the 55” Class – LED - 2160p – Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR – Fire TV Edition. Many users have enjoyed the TV for years and continue to love it. The Fire TV integration is also praised for its user-friendly interface and quick access to streaming services. However, some customers have concerns about the remote control, sound quality, screen issues, refresh rate, and reliability.
I wanted to upgrade from my 39" Vizio 1080p TV and began looking at deals. After I saw this TV drop to an incredible $299 for Memorial Day, I could no longer ignore it. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and 55" is the absolute perfect size for me. Any larger and it would overtake the room, any smaller and well....we don't want small do we?! For the price alone it gets a 5/5 from me. As for how well it works, it is pretty seamless in its UI and integration and the Alexa Voice Remote is a nice feature. Many other reviews complained of the constant ads via the Amazon Prime home screen, and I can see why. It can certainly be annoying and a bit cluttered, but it comes with the territory. I personally am not all that bothered by it. This gets a 4/5 when it comes to UI. I hooked up my Xbox One X to see what true 4K gaming looks like and was not disappointed. There is certainly a significant increase in picture clarity and color sharpness. The HDR10 compatibility at 60Hz refresh rate is definitely impressive, but I did notice that it had trouble at times keeping up with the console, but it was nothing immersion-breaking. While bright and colorful, the contrast is not very good on this TV and the bright whites and deep blacks are nowhere near as good as other budget UHD TVs, like TCL or Vizio. It also lacks Dolby Vision which further affects gaming quality and picture smoothness when watching 4K UHD Blu-rays especially. Still, it looks good and is certainly a step up from any 1080p T.V., albeit about as good as one can expect for the price point. 3.5/5 for picture quality. The internal speakers are adequate, and even great for the price, but I do recommend purchasing a decent soundbar to really get that home theatre experience. I personally bought a Polk Signa S2 with subwoofer and couldn't be happier. Sound gets a 3.5/5 also, with a strong recommendation for a quality soundbar. Overall, this is far from the best 4K UHD TV you can get. It has all the standards one would expect from a 4K TV nowadays but at the cost of some noticeable quality drops (it's not gonna look like some floor models of slightly more expensive TVs, and cannot even remotely compete with the Samsung QLEDs or the like for an extra 0 at the end of the price). The main selling point is definitely the price. At only $357 with a 2 year warranty, it's a steal for the price alone, which is why I give it a 4/5 overall. I would recommend it to a friend on a strict budget, but would also encourage spending a bit more on a TCL or Vizio for slightly better quality. -Pros- +Ridiculously good price +Standard 4K functionality with HDR10 +Good picture and sound +Amazon Alexa Voice and Prime integration -Cons- -UI is constantly bombarded by ads -Picture quality is not as good as other 4K TVs in this price range, and can't even compete with the Samsungs and LGs for a few hundred more -No Dolby Vision -Sound is mediocre without a soundbar

Great picture, great price. I love how it’s a fire stick as the main control of the tv, would definitely recommend!

I found that set-up was easy and the picture is great. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and it is doing everything they say except connecting to my Alexa. However, I haven't found that to be a big problem with the voice activated remote. Besides, that's not the TV, it's mostly a problem with the Alexa app being too difficult to figure out. Really great picture and easy to use remote. I would recommend this TV for anyone who is looking for a great price with solid value.
