Bought to replace defunct old tv and what an amazing piece of kit, especially for the price.
Setup was a little fiddly as the fire-tv needed to download several updates before it properly came to life but I am more than happy with the whole package. The QLED display gives a crystal clear picture, albeit a little too saturated with colour but that’s easily adjusted and cleverly for different inputs. The feed via a terrestrial antenna is balanced to my preference, separately to the inputs from cable and my old dvd player.
Sound is also impressive with a nice balance from the inbuilt speakers and a sufficiently powerful bass.
One of the best features is the compatibility with Apple AirPlay which allows big screen access to photos and video from my iPhone or iPad. The ability to play media from my GoPro by using the phone or pad is brilliant, with true 4K video quality too!
As for the price point, well it took a fair amount of reading through previous reviews to convince me that the TCL Fire-TV was really as good as it is. I know my son paid in excess of £2k for his similarly specified Sony TV and there’s absolutely nothing to choose between them, apart from the massive difference in price.
