I'm quite impressed with the quality of this TV for being so cheap ($249 at the time of purchase). The TV has excellent Image quality whether it's using Prime and Pluto via the TV itself, or connected to my PC or home media server depending on the display settings, I'd recommend that you avoid the "dynamic setting" for most media or turndown "action smoothing" to zero to avoid that ugly cheap soap opera look. As for audio, I'm satisfied with the built-in speaker and audio pre-set options and don't see the need to invest in a soundbar or other equipment unless you're a serious audiophile. At this time I haven't used the Alexa feature for this product. Pros: >Great picture quality >Great Audio quality >Reasonable price >Easy to physically set up >Simple to set up and connect your Amazon account Cons: >It's a smart device, which always poses potential security risks General information: I'd highly recommend that go into preferences and turn off data collection and targeted adds under privacy immediately after your initial setup before you do anything else, though this may not effect third-party services available on this product.

This television was such a good deal and a fantastic value for the money. The integrated tv rendered all of my old devices and sticks obsolete. It’s very easy to set up with your phone and Alexa. The sound quality is impressive and the picture was about what I expected. Some very old productions and standard definition programs look strange or shadowy but this is common with all scaling and this tv is fine. The connectivity is great. I swear it looks huge for a 55 inch. It has legs so you don’t have to mount it. I prefer a horizontal footing because it’s easier to find stands for but these legs definitely give it a lot of stability. Overall this is a very high quality and highly functional item. If this holds up long term I may never buy a different brand again.

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.
