Mixed Reviews for the Amazon Fire TV

Yeah it's 60 hertz and yeah not in love with the settings menu and all the videos I don't want to watch. But in hogwarts, Weasley's head is over two feet wide sometimes! My task bar icons are over an inch tall AND I'M USING THE SMALL ONES. 45 dollars a month. No interest! OMFG where the F stands for Fanadoodley- tastic. No interest. No interest. No interest. This text box I'm writing in is over a yard wide! And because I got the FITUEYES Design Corner TV Stand, IT'S ON WHEELS. I can take my 75 inch tv out to play with the other 75 inch tvs. Always, always, always, get the bigger display.

This TV worked so well in my bedroom I bought a second one for my inclosed patio. Good TV's,so good in fact I bought two. They come pre programed with your Amazom preferences.

I can't say how good/bad is the TV, it arrived broken and I realized that after the return window was closed. So I have a brand new TV in box but broken.

 This is my second TV after the first one was replaced by Amazon to try to resolve the issue. I continue to have issues with streaming apps playing and pausing continuously. The only way I can fix is be resetting the tv or unplugging and restarting. It’s a very frustrating glitch. I really want to like this TV but this seems to be a software issue that Amazon can’t fix or resolve.

This is a great tv...only one thing I hate, you cannot (that I have figured out) turm off Alexa...I have my show in the kitchen that I use for everything and the tv hears the commands from the kitchen. She pops on and doesnt pause the show so its annoying. Plus having another Alexa right there and both pop on is frustrating too. Other than that I love the ease of use!

My laptop is using HDMI2. The TV goes it’s signal and says Loading…in the lower right corner and goes back into a regular display mode. I have to tell it to switch back to HDMI2. I didn’t have this problem with my Samsung TV. I’ve tried researching this problem and there seems to be no resolution to this problem that I can find.

Love the picture. The sound is very low so I had to add a sound bar. The feet are not very close so I had to add some "L" shaped feet and they are great and hold the sound bar nicely. My biggest issue is the sleep timer has no OFF setting. It can be set to between 5 and 240 minutes, but cannot be turned off. This drives my wife nuts when she is at the end of a movie and it shuts off. Even when she moves the controls like volume and pause, or changes channels it will shut down after the timer runs out. So if I watch a program then she watches a movie, the total time counts down from the 240 and shuts off. Then it takes about a full minute to be turned back on - there appears to be a delay built in for powering back on. Most other TV s seem to have a OFF setting or a "never" setting, this one does not.
Does anyone know how to stop this timer???

I love the easy set up out of the box & even easier set up with my existing Alexa. Screen quality works for me and ambient feature is perfect. Amazon Prime delivered as scheduled. Will purchase another one soon.

I purchased this TV thinking it would be a good buy. That turns out not to be true. It is very had to navigate. I also purchased echo so I could use home theater system well that's not working either. Home Theater sound keeps dropping off when the TV is turned off. I have had to reboot the TV to get it back to the speakers on the TV. I would look for something else to purchase be for a Fire TV.

Box came damaged. Set up the TV, and turned it on only to find that half the screen doesn’t work and is cracked all along the bottom.

This tv is not that good. Half the time when using the controller, the TV is delayed and sometimes doesn’t respond at all. The TV has froze multiple times where I’ve had to unplug it and plug it back in. Sometimes while watching tv, the Alexa would activate on its own. I would absolutely return the tv if I could.

The image is OK, not smooth during motion (sports) and the color isn't great. I installed my Fire TV Stick 4K and it is 100% better. Disappointing I have to use another device and a second remote (for TV settings and changing inputs), but I can live with it now.

I’d give it 5 stars if it didn’t show glare from windows and light.

My 15 yr old Sony has far superior color than this washed piece of junk. Football fields look grey as opposed to green. I stream from FUBO and the colors are horrible. Too late to send it back.

This tv has great picture quality and the price was a good deal. I have noticed that Alexa is very slow to respond. This is very different from when I had the Fire Cube which was four years old. We end up using the remote most of the time because using Alexa is just so frustrating.

TV screen was damaged when I opened the box.

Absolutely no complaints so far. We’ve had it up and running for a couple months now and have only gotten compliments from others. Definitely a great tv, and at a great price.

Out of the box the picture settings are pretty bad and I almost returned this set. Once I calibrated the screen and realized dolby vision has a bright mode I am very happy with the picture quality. I love the art collection in Ambient mode. Shown in the picture above. The only complaint I have is the fire tv user interface seems slow at times. Hopefully it will get fixed with an update. Will upgrade to 5 stars if an update gets pushed to speed up interface.

Very impressed

The tv checks all the boxes for us. There are a few areas where either the LED or backlighting matrix isn't consistent and perfect, but this isn't noticeable unless you're looking at a static image that is a single flat, solid color. For shows, movies, and games, however, this is not even noticeable. The BIGGEST reason we purchased this TV is that it has so many HDMI ports and supports eARC over HDMI as well. Most other QLED TVs on the market in this size at this price point have 2 HDMI ports at best and, although some support ARC, none of the others we looked at support eARC. I love that we can now have high quality audio for our games and movies using a reliable high-speed connection. My only complaint is that when using this as a dumb TV it sometimes seems to display a notification on power-up asking us to sign-in or connect to a network.

Package arrived today, hung up the tv on the mount (I hang TVs for a living), turned it on, and wouldn’t you know it’s broken. Thanks Amazon! Really appreciate the quality!

I was told before I bought to go with another tv in similar price range and buy a firestick 4k max (on sale for $26.99). I wish I would’ve listened. While it does have some cool features (ambient experience, widgets), it lacks in speed and sound…which are important to me. I should’ve researched more, instead of just thinking it’d work like my firestick 4k max.
It says it has wifi 6 support but I don’t get speeds like other devices (I have eero 6+ router). If you hardwire it you will only get 100 Mbps since it doesn’t have gigabit Ethernet capability. You also can not get Dolby Atmos, uhd 24 bit music- even with amazon music. It blows my mind that you can’t do this on a brand new tv, yet you can if you have a firestick 4k max (and can get much faster speeds with much less lag too). I even experimented and put a fs4kmax in the back of this tv and got better audio quality (24 bit compared to 16) and better speed. With amazon trying to promote their uhd audio quality on amazon music, you’d think they’d put that capability on its flagship tv. What a missed opportunity, as I’d consider giving it def 4 maybe 5 stars

Not sure why everyone says this tv is slow. This tv is lightning fast. Upgraded to this from an older sony Bravia smart tv, which was struggling with launching streaming apps. This tv loads apps super quick. Sound quality is good, and the picture is very very good! I love the fire tv interface. Super easy to navigate. The built in Alexa and other added features are cool too. I recommend this tv highly!

The tv arrived damaged. It appears that it was not damaged in shipment and I did not drop it. Total pain the neck. UPS store is 40 minutes from my home and the tv is pretty heavy. I appreciate Amazon. This just seems to a case of bad luck. Thanks

Tv is crap. It is slow and super laggy, especially while streaming. You click a button on the remote and you have to wait a few seconds to it to respond. All HDMI ports stopped working after less than a month. Picture is crap although the settings are adjustable, Sound is even worse so don’t even think about hanging it on the wall unless you want a muffled sound. Just get the Roku tv
