Great value for the price. Picture quality is sharp with vibrant colors, especially for movies and streaming in 4K. Setup was quick and the TV is easy to use. The interface is responsive and apps load fast enough for everyday viewing. Sound is decent for built-in speakers, but a soundbar definitely improves the experience. Motion handling is good for TV and movies, though serious gamers may want higher refresh rates. Overall, it’s a solid TV if you want good picture quality without paying premium-brand prices. I’m happy with it for the cost. Read more

Very happy. This TV was inexpensive, but has a great picture and all the settings I needed to adjust color and brightness to just what I wanted. Very clear picture. The only thing I was unhappy with was that the speakers are in the back and the sound wasn't great since the speakers face the wall. It wasn't awful, but not right either. I bought an inexpensive soundbar (Amazon sells refurbished soundbars) and now it sounds great. Note that if you add a soundbar, the ARC hdmi to plug the soundbar into is HDMI3, not the standard HDMI1. That threw me for a while until I figured it out. Read more

After I got this TV up and going it was blurry and paused alot for a week or so which I thought was odd because my wifi modem was only 7 feet away. So I bought a 15 foot ethernet (LAN) cable. I hooked it up and it has been smooth and flawless since with a good picture for the money spent. I would recommend this TV only if it is hardwired into the modem. Also this 65" TV is in my bright living room with lots of large windows and the picture is bright and clear. Read more

When I purchased this TV I knew I was buying a budget television, and that’s what I got. Sitting right in front of it, the picture is great, very satisfactory. When trying to view it from any angle over 30 degrees off center though, forget it. It fades right out. The setup was easy as could be, and the set is very light, easy to hang on my wall mount. I can’t comment on sound quality because I use a soundbar. Overall I’m very happy for what I paid. I guess I did expect a better viewing experience throughout the room it’s in. Read more

I've bought this TV to replace a 40" Samsung 4K TV that I have been using as my computer monitor for years. The Samsung had several places with burn-in and was getting hard to use as a result. This monitor is a clear improvement over the Samsung in many ways: - It's a bit larger (43" instead of 40", which is welcome enlargement for my old eyes) - It supports 120Hz and HDR through HDMI 2.0, which works well with my 3 connected computers (a PC with an NVidia 2060, a recent HP laptop and a Mac Mini M4) - It provides a very clean display with text looking perfectly legible, even in small size. - It has nice color, with bright whites and dark blacks. - It is supposed to have low latency, although I don't really care and I seldom play games. On the negative side, I find the fireTV UI a bit slow and annoying. Switching inputs is not hard, but was clearly faster on my Samsung. There is a button that lets me switch from recent inputs and that works better than the normal way of switching through the UI, which requires several key presses. I don't use any of the FireTV functionality, so i won't comment on it. I have a FireTV cube on another TV and I don't like the UI on it due to the ads and the Amazon-centric design. Overall, I highly recommend this model to use as a computer monitor. I got it at a great price and it has better specs than the similar model that Costco sells (which only supports 60Hz refresh rate). For <$200 you can't get anything better in my opinion. Read more

Just received the TV and it was packaged well. Works great. It should be noted that the TV will be laggy during the first boot, as it is updating the OS and apps. After that, the OS speed is decent. I've looked around a lot before buying this one, wanted to understand how much RAM/internal storage or what type of CPU it had, and couldn't find any public information. I have retrieved it and wanted to share my findings: Technical Details out of the box: Processor: Quad-core MediaTek SoC with ARM Cortex-A55 CPUs running in 32-bit (yes, 32bit architecture and OS) ARMv7 mode. Each core has BogoMIPS 24.00 and supports NEON SIMD, VFPv3/v4, LPAE, AES/PMULL, SHA1/SHA2, CRC32, making it well-suited for streaming, video decoding, and Fire OS tasks. CPU part number is 0xd05. RAM: Total 2 GB, with about 1.4–1.5 GB usable for apps and system processes. The rest is reserved for the kernel and MediaTek TV framework. Memory management is efficient, and the system remains responsive under normal app usage. Internal Storage: The user/data partition is 9.5 GB total, with roughly 2 GB used and ~7.5 GB free. System partitions such as /system_ext, /vendor, and /product are read-only and fully used, which is standard for MediaTek Fire TV devices. Cache and temporary storage are sufficient to handle app updates and media downloads. System Architecture: The SoC is optimized for 4K video decoding, DRM, and Fire OS tasks, with low power consumption and stable performance. Kernel memory usage (slab, page tables, CMA) is within normal ranges for this hardware. Fire OS after updating (as of Nov 29, 2025) : 8.1.5.3 (RS8153/3202) I hope this helps anyone who, like me, wanted detailed technical information before buying. Read more
