Amazon Fire TV 43" 4-Series 4K UHD smart TV with Alexa Voice Remote Enhanced, stream live TV without cable

Got the 43" for a living room. Great price at $209, believe it was a lightning deal. So far great TV, picture, ease of use and setup. Voice remote is nice too with Alexa.

Overall, I like this. This may be the same model I've already purchased two of, but not reviewed, or a close "variant". I love my Fire TVs though I felt that the earlier ones lacked enough space for applications.This is one I purchased for a different reason. I'm using it as a computer monitor. You have to be careful on this and if you're one who plays games, this might not be for you. It's absolutely NOT snappy fast as game players need, but for me doing my usual academic work (i.e. -grading) and setting up virtual machines and such, it's absolutely fine.I will say that I made the decision to buy it based on another user's review that it was suitable as a computer monitor and handled text well enough, which not all smart televisions can do when being used as a monitor.ProsEasy setupHas a nice picture, and adds HDR when being used as a computer monitorHas ample storage to add apps (around 12 GB)ConsIt can get a little strange as a computer display. You might find your scaling changed, may find you need to modify your refresh. Don't try and overdo it even if it's got refresh rate above 60 Hz, as mine showed. In my own tests, it appears to cause the screen to periodically blank out.Overall, I like it and I'd recommend it. The photo shown is me using it as a computer monitor.

For the price, I think this is a bargain, I've never owned a TV that came with the fire stick built-in, to me the picture is great, easy setup, does everything I need and more, I replaced my Emerson which lasted 15 years, but it finally went out, don't know how long this one will last, but I'm very satisfied and happy with the purchase, don't know why there are any bad reviews, what you get is well worth it, I have mine in my master bedroom on the wall, and the picture is a big improvement over the Emerson I watched for so many years, I'm not picky or much of a complainer, unless it's really called for, so I can honestly say I would definitely recommend this TV, no it's not top of the line thousand dollar premium brand, however I'm enjoying immensely and watching movies is great, for the money you spend I would get this one, every time.

I've owned the 43 inch fire tv now for over 2 years and I've been overall very pleased with it for the price. The picture is vibrant and beautiful, and it has pretty decent features , I use the sleep timer nightly. As with most flat screen tv's an area where it lacks is in the audio. It sounds fine for what it is but for me the volume what a bit low depending on the source. On YouTube the volume can be quite adequate depending on the video but on regular apps like Netflix, hulu, fandango and Amazon you might want to boost it up with a nice speaker system or sound bar. I happened to already have a small speaker system with a sub woofer used for a TV, game system, or pc and it works perfectly in my case. The only other thing that's a downside and something I find quite annoying honestly is that it has built in firetv software but it is very much lacking in the memory department. It gets achingly slow sometimes and I've done everything I've seen on videos to speed it up. I would say if I did it again I might buy a separate streaming system that I had more control over the memory. If Amazon would double the size of the memory or at the very least make it expandable so that it ran fast and smooth without slowing down and bogging down I'd be very happy. Now let me be clear here.. The movies and TV shows play perfectly the slowness and bogging down I'm referring to is the menu and apps. Other than those couple of minor things, I think it is a great tv for the price.

Update: they have sent a replacement and it seems to be working great. I'm gonna give it more than 30 minutes and leave another update after a few weeks.I’ve seen many reviews mentioning this issue, and I’m experiencing the same thing—this TV constantly resets itself to the home screen interface. I can’t even get through five minutes of a show before it restarts multiple times, sometimes I can’t even get 20 seconds into the home screen before it restarts. It randomly disconnects from Wi-Fi, even when using a mobile hotspot, which proves the issue is with the TV itself, not my internet. I have a strong, reliable connection and no problems with other brands, yet this Fire TV refuses to stay connected. For how expensive this TV is, the performance is unacceptable. It’s beyond frustrating, and I do not recommend it.I’ve tried everything to fix it—restarting the TV and router, clearing the cache, forgetting and reconnecting to Wi-Fi, resetting the network settings, and even doing a factory reset. And it’s already right next to the WiFi router. Nothing works.For how expensive this TV is, the performance is unacceptable. It’s beyond frustrating, and I do not recommend it.Since my Fire TV is disconnecting from Wi-Fi even with a mobile hotspot, that strongly suggests the issue is with the Fire TV itself and not my internet. I will be reaching out to support for replacement and repairs, I’ll come back with an update.
