Absolutely love this TV. Easy access to Apps. Easy to connect, and Fast. Bluetooth works great. Picture is fantastic. Unlike a lot of newer Smart TVs on Amazon, this actually HAS an ethernet port and doesn't solely rely on WiFi, this was a major selling point for me after a bad experience with a Vizio I ended up sending back. I am 100% satisfied with this choice.

The Amazon Fire TV 50" is a nice TV. It arrived well packed and protected from damage. It was easy to remove from box and set up. The picture is sharp and clear but the whites are washed out and too bright. The sound is clear but needs more defining. Overall, the Amazon TV 50" is a quality product at a very reasonable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Liking it so far!
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2022

Mounting it was extremely easy (although I had my dad do it but he’s got all the carpenter’s tools; a stud finder, power drill and socket wrench set will do that). It’s very light for such a large TV but still pretty sturdy and well designed. It has more HDMI ports than most newer TVs out there, big bonus, as well as optical, USB and Ethernet ports.

As far as interface, super easy. I used Roku previously and this was not a huge leap. It connected to my Amazon account automatically and I had my three other streaming accounts hooked up in minutes. But it walks you though the usual setup the first time you power it on: language, all first time updates, a choice of apps or TV channel searching (can be skipped then added later) and then goes directly to the Home Screen where you can add what you like. Very simple and easy to understand. It doesn’t take forever to load when switching apps; it almost instantly just takes you to where you left off when switching between them. Absolutely love that feature. It does power down when idling on still screens too long but waking and resuming is quick too. The picture and audio settings are a breeze to tweak through the remote. The sound and picture are just right as well; the sound is crisp and balanced and the picture has easy defaults or can be customized. I always turn down the backlight because they always tend to be brighter than i like but it was simple to find. Switching to inputs or new apps is one-button; you don’t have to keep backing out to get to another quickly.

Honestly very impressed. I don’t need a lot of bells and whistles so I like when the things I do need a TV for are simple and seamless. It’s super easy switching between TV and three gaming consoles. Easy to add a HTML splitter and take advantage of more devices on one input if needed.

I’m the first person I know to get a Fire TV so it was a gamble, but it definitely paid off. Very worthwhile to get a mount if you feel confident installing it (you can always pay for installation if not). It’s a great TV to take advantage of newer game consoles. Personally, the Omni series had a bunch of stuff I didn’t need, so if you just need a TV for streaming and gaming, the 4-Series doesn’t disappoint.

On a side note, I saw some reviews about a ‘bright blue standby light’ that no longer exists as of this review. It’s a softer whitish light and not very bright. If a standby light does bother you at night, invest in black electrical tape. I’m not sure why people drop so many stars over minor personal issues. If you do happen to have pet peeves about electronics, it’s always best to research before you buy! And yes, companies do read reviews and see customer suggestions so nitpick away to improve their products. Either way, I have no complaints on what I ended up with.

Works great picture is unbelievable similar to my 1500 Samsung looks like. Easy to use I’m definitely happy with it. Only complaint I have would be the sound doesn’t get very loud so had to Bluetooth a speaker to it to be able to hear it. But it’s also outside with a loud of noise I assume it would be fine inside.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great smart TV for the price
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2023
Verified Purchase
The 55" smart TV for a little over $300 (was on sale at the time) was delivered almost immediately. Was easy to assemble the "feet" and was already configured to connect to my network. It integrated my Recast almost instantly, without being prompted and was also easy to connect to an Echo Studio for "surround sound". Well, not quite with just one of them, even with ATMOS content, but it beats the built-in speakers.

Speaking of the Echo Studio, you lose the on-screen volume indicator and apparently can't hold the volume buttons down, as you can when using the TV speakers. The former is irritating and the latter is just plain silly for such an expensive add-on.

UPDATE:

Added a second Studio and subwoofer and they were also easy to connect to the TV. Now it does surround sound about as good as an average sound bar, though will pale in comparison to high-end sound bars. Still, these have the potential for a lot more separation, as you can put the two speakers anywhere in the room.

This makes for an amazing home theater experience in virtually any room. They appear to connect over ad hoc WiFi networks and the reliability is good, though it will occasionally drop the left or right channel (or both).

Generally, it either snaps out of it in a minute or two or pausing and then playing or switching inputs or asking one of the speakers a question or whatever seems to make it reconnect. It's mildly annoying, but have never had to stoop to unplugging anything to get around it. Can always switch back to the TV speakers in the Home Theater settings in a pinch, but that hasn't been necessary here, at least not yet.

And, as expected, the speakers play music on demand. Unexpectedly, the cover art, lyrics, playback controls, etc. are displayed on the TV. That's a nice feature.

It also integrated with my Ring cameras effortlessly, showing them in the PiP when people are detected. I think that's the the threshold anyway (i.e. not just for motion). May be a Ring setting that controls this, but happy with the way it is working; though beware, Ring cameras sometimes fail to identify people.

And speaking of the remote. The redesigned button layout is really stupid. The old layout was much easier to find the right buttons with your thumb. The new one is all uniform rows and columns of same-sized buttons. Maybe they thought that looked "cleaner", but the ergonomics have taken a huge step backwards. Also wish they'd lose the dedicated buttons for Disney+, Hulu, etc. It's advertising and only convenient for those who subscribe to the sponsors' services.

Still, couldn't be happier at this price point. Picture looks great to me, though surely pales when compared to sets that cost twice as much. And, as expected, built-in speakers are not great, but soundbar support is rumored to be very good with this model (unlike some previous Amazon-branded TVs that I've owned).

Hopefully it will last. I still use the other two I bought three years ago. And hopefully they'll fix the stupid Alexa bug that prevents turning it on and off by name. (!) Yes, "Turn on Den TV" responds with "Den TV doesn't support that". (!!) Oddly enough, this "trick" works fine with the older models, though one of them will go into a "coma" once it is off more than a few minutes, foiling all attempts at automation until the remote is used to turn it back on (defeating the whole purpose). That happened about a year in and they never fixed it, no matter how much feedback I sent. The best advice they could offer was to factory reset the thing. :(

Workaround for this new one is "Turn on Fire TV", which is ridiculous and will only work with the linked smart speaker. Support was no real help, but supposedly they escalated the problem. I've heard that before, so won't hold my breath. But at least it stays responsive in standby mode. For now anyway. :)

UPDATE: Support indicated that the reason I am having problems with "Turn on Den TV" is that I had the Echo Dot linked to another TV previously. Yes, I did and I unlinked that one and linked Den TV. No idea what I was supposed to do differently, but sure seems like a bug.

NBD, as I generally just tell it what I want to watch, rather than telling it to turn on. Still would be nice if I could turn it on and off from the other speakers in the house, as I can do with the other two TVs. No idea whether this bug will prevent using routines to turn the den TV on and off, as I haven't tried that yet. They work with the others, except the one that goes into a coma.
