Amazon Fire TV 55" 4-Series 4K UHD smart TV, stream live TV without cable, 2024 release

My 15-year-old Sharp TV was starting to give me problems, and the FireStick finally froze on me a couple of days ago so I decided to finally upgrade to a FireTV, and it has been the best decision of the year, so far. I ordered a 50” TV and took advantage of the interest free offer, so for only $12.09 a month after the $33.00 down payment, it was an obvious choice. Installation was super easy, but I took my time to take it out of the box (it’s big and awkward), however, the TV itself is super light. After installing the legs, I set it up on the TV stand and made the necessary connections, which is a no-brainer especially if you use wi-fi. Once I fired it up, it downloaded and installed updates which took about 5 minutes, if that long. After that part was done, I connected to my Amazon account and,l—with the exception of a couple of apps I had to download—setting it up was easy since my iPhone has all my passwords and logging info saved (so glad I always take the time to keep that file up to date). The image quality is AMAZING, especially when I compare it to my old but loyal Sharp TV, which will now be relocated to the guest bedroom. The sound is pretty darn good, too, although I may treat myself to a Fire Soundbar toward the end of the year. I love a rich and clear sound, so that’s an upgrade to keep in mind. For reasons unknown , it took me a minute to locate the on/off switch, even though I was following the setup instructions to a T. Lol 😆 That was the only snag in the process, so I consider myself lucky. And again, having an interest-free monthly payment made this purchase a great investment. Since this TV has FireStick built in, it works right out of the box, so you won’t need the old-style dongle. The remote control is a bit longer than the previous unit with the buttons relocated for ease of use. The designers and engineers really nailed all the small yet important details. Anyway, I’m super happy with my new FireTV, and I thank you for reading my review. 😊👍🏻

I am extremely impressed with this tv. Now that I needed a new tv in my bedroom, I started to do my research, which I always do. I always buy samsung smart tvs, but I've been having problems with lagging and notice it didnt have any memory left. I only had a few apps downloaded on it.. I cut the cord several years back, I found that a firetv was perfect. They blow this smart tv thing all up, like its a must have, but let me just say, please do your research. You could save yourself a bucket load of money. If you have cut the cord, there's really no reason for a smart tv. Streaming runs off apps. Smart tvs are limited on memory and can only hold so many apps. I have a samsung smart tv in my living room and to get it to complete a movie without hesitation, I had to hook up a firestick to it. On a firetv you can stream tons and this one I have downloaded several and still have plenty of memory and so many channels and so much to watch. I went to bed early just so I could watch tv in bed instead of the living room. I have really enjoyed the tv. 1 of my favorite things is I can tell it what I want to whatch and it gives me all kind of options. The picture quality is awesome on it. I didnt have to adjust any settings. I was pleased on how everything was set up. The only thing I had to answer was what language I wanted. It did all the updates. I'm impressed with the sound. Of course, any tv is gonna sound 100% better with a sound bar. So, dont let the sound keep you from buying this tv. Also, after lots of research, if you still have cable, you can still hook that up to it. You have several hook up spots. I'm happy with this tv and I'm sure if you purchase one, you will be too. Overall, it is a great tv and a great buy!

I have to say this is my 7th Amazon Fire TV! I keep getting them because well I have a couple of houses and rooms that need some nice tvs and they are super easy to setup, they are light weight (I can mount this tv size by myself) They are reliable, have great color quality, I love the voice control ability with the remote, connecting to the internet is smooth and the TV comes with the option of linking it up with your Amazon account and getting all of my apps on there is a breeze! The colors are true and you can dial it in to fit your preferred viewing from brighter to darker lighting and you create some user profiles as well! Honestly it is a HUGE ALEXA! You can also link your Ring account to get views of your cameras or when motion is detected or someone rings the doorbell you can select the option to allow a picture in picture window to see what is going on so THAT IS A PLUS! Alexa voice control with the remote works really well you will most likely not be sitting there arguing with the remote like you would with other voice control TVs (like when I had my Samsung and LG) This is a MUST BUY!!!!!! I hope one day Amazon puts out a 85-90 inch version so I can change out my LG tv.

I love this TV! The picture is vibrant with beautiful colors, the sound quality is surprisingly great, and overall it exceeded my expectations. For the price, it feels like a really good deal and gives you a lot for what you pay. Very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality TV without spending a fortune. Alexa integration is nice, the screen seems durable, the remote is easy to handle and the power is easy to manage.

Edit: Amazon reached out to me and replaced the TV. The new one is much better and doesn’t freeze like the old one. It still is a bit laggy especially when adjusting the volume but much better than the last one I got the TV in April and ever since then it has become slower and slower. It even takes a long time to adjust the volume or select apps. It is very buggy when trying to fast forward or rewind a stream. And apps load very slowly. Also there are intrusive ads everywhere. However, it does have a good picture for the price. If you are playing a video game or using another device to stream it seems to be better. It’s mostly issues with the OS and processing power of the TV to run it. I would recommend going with a different brand if you want to use the TV as a smart TV. However, if it is just a monitor for your console then it is fine.

All-new Amazon Fire TV 55" 4-Series 4K UHD smart TV, stream live TV without cable, 2024 release This is a replacement TV for an old LED 30” Panasonic that was in the basement that had one HDMI connection. Looked at many that were cheaper than this but decided to go with the Amazon because we already were prime members and Fire TV user. Came in UPS, shipping was fast. Like others have said when unpacking it felt cheap from the very thin plastic feet to its overall feel. I had purchased a cheap $23 tv stand from Amazon (tFITUEYES Universal TV Stand Tabletop TV Stand for 27-55” that worked well. Once hooked up internet hard wired instead of Wi-Fi it still took a while to download software and install. After done set up picture parameters I was very impressed with sharpness and crips colors of this TV. With fire tv built in makes a different on how it interfaces with the apps. Very fast on reaction times from old fire tv box. Also, with new streaming venues like Direst tv, Sling etc... every is streaming. It does seem intuitive somehow maybe AI a little. Am glad I settled on this tv even though I could have picked up one cheaper. Now I also purchased the sound bar with this tv and am disappointed with its sound quality. It’s a step above the TV speakers but not by much. I should have gone with a little better sound bar, but you get what you pay for.

This TV has a great looking picture. There are very few instructions included for how to set it up the first time. I have owned several fire sticks in the past, so am pretty familiar with the process, but for someone new to smart TVs and streaming, you're probably going to have to find a nearby teenager to get it up and running. Two things I didn't like: 1. It is very slow responding to the remote and in downloading and installing updates. The update procedure took at least 20 minutes to complete. Compared to a fire stick, response to various remote commands is very slow. 2. I also bought an Amazon Fire soundbar. It works well, but just a word of warning. When plugged into the TV, all sound processing is done by the sound bar, not the TV, which means that things like "Volume Leveling" in the TV's settings are disabled. EDIT: After 6 months of using this TV, I'm revising my review down to just 1 star. In addition to it being very slow to respond to the remote, sometimes the TV refuses to turn on. After 5 or 6 tries I unplug it from the wall for a few seconds and then it's OK. At other times, it completely scrambles YouTube TV's DVR recordings and won't play a recorded video until, again, it's restarted or unplugged. Sometimes a program stops playing and a dialogue box asks if I want to open this (?)in the Silk browser as though I'm trying to load a webpage. The MUTE button works to mute the sound, but then won't unmute it. There are times when I first enter YouTube TV and get see nothing but a black screen until I press the BACK button. These are not YouTube TV problems as I have 3 other TVs in the house using Fire Sticks and they work fine. I could not recommend this TV to anyone.

Really impressed with this Amazon 43" 4K Fire TV. For the price, it delivers great quality and a solid viewing experience. 📺 Picture Quality: The 4K imaging is pretty good—crisp, vibrant, and more than enough for casual streaming, gaming, or everyday use. 🛠️ Mounting Made Simple: At just 15 pounds, it was a breeze to mount on a single stud wall mount. No hassle, no heavy lifting—just smooth setup. 🔥 Fire TV Integration: Built-in Fire TV makes streaming super convenient. The interface is snappy and intuitive, and Alexa voice control is a nice bonus. Overall, this is a fantastic mid-size 4K TV that punches above its weight—literally and figuratively. Highly recommend for bedrooms, offices, or smaller living spaces.
