Real review. I bought this on Thursday before Black Friday, 2019. It was only $264, and I got it the next day! It's amazing but dang, 4K is not just incredibly awesome, it shows every detail of a person's face or skin, sometimes TOO vivid! But watching the awesome 49ers beat the stupid Seahawks on this huge TV was so much fun! Still need to hook up Alexa but it's great nonetheless.
As far as some of the other posters complaints I didn’t have any screen failures yet, yes the start features are basically exactly like a amazon fire stick, so if you have used that in the past it’s a easy transition. It’s not my favorite interface but useable. The Alexa feature works pretty well. Again if you have used Alexa before it’s pretty seamless within its limits. It’s good for finding a specific show, genre or music. I did the basic setup which only allows six streaming apps (which was plenty, I use Prime, Hulu and Netflix ) and I wanted to keep it simple and avoid excessive advertising. So, so far so good for the price.
Shortcomings (these are picky given the price of this tv) include limited ability to adjust the picture, a 60 Hz refresh rate that can't keep up with some dynamic content, and an extremely basic online users manual. I'm quite happy that I did not spend 10X the cost to get a top of the line LED tv without these shortcomings.
I thought I was buying a smart TV with Amazon Fire integration. It's more like I bought and Amazon device with a 50" screen attached. That's not really a bad thing. I'll break it down.
1: Picture. This TV replaces an older Toshiba 50" 1080P that I've had for a few years. The difference in the picture is dramatic. I'm not a gamer so I can't speak to things like latency or speed, and I have seen better 4k pictures. The black isn't as true, the corners are just slightly less-than, etc. Considering the caveat I mentioned earlier I'm very happy. 4.5 stars.
2: Remote. I'd been using a Fire TV Stick before this. The included remote that comes with the TV is familiar and easy to learn. However, it feels cheap. It's hard to say how, it just isn't as solid in my hand. Alexa works well. There are 4 shortcut buttons at the bottom. I call them gimmick buttons. I guess if you have all four of the preset apps it could be useful. 2.5 stars.
3: Sound. Wow! Over the years I've become accustomed to the sound from flat screen TV's being thin with not great volume. My previous TV would need to be at 25 or higher to listen comfortably. This new one? 9 is *loud* and it has pretty solid bass response for TV speakers. Very impressed. 5.5 stars.
4: Fire integration. This is my bedroom TV so I don't have other devices connected. I'm also a cord cutter. My last TV I'd have to switch inputs and remotes to watch local in my digital antenna. Not so now! My antenna channels appear in a channel guide along with my Pluto channels. I can hide channels I don't want and add favorites. Pretty cool. It could benefit from a more traditional remote however, having to go through all those channels with the scroll wheel can be time consuming. Still.. that caveat, right? All other Fire TV functions work as expected. 5.5 stars.
I've read some reviews of TV's failing, dropping networks, etc. It made me a little bit nervous to buy one. While I've only had mine for about a month now everything is working great. For everything it had you really can't beat it *for the price*.
