Amazon Fire TV 4-Series first impressions
Amazon's own brand Fire TV models are spreading their wings, escaping the US and Canada where they were first launched and expanding to the UK and Germany. The 4-Series is Amazon's best-selling model, offering an integrated Fire TV experience for a super-connected smart TV experience out of the box.
We spent some time with the Fire TV 4-Series at its European launch in London.
The Fire TV 4-Series comes in a range of attractive sizes with attractive prices. It's not the most technically adept display, but it offers great connectivity and plenty of smart features so you can quickly and easily stream your favourite content.
The Fire TV 4-Series doesn't quite stretch to the premium build of the Omni Series with its metallic finish, instead opting for a black finish. There's a slightly plasticky look to things, but considering the low prices for these TVs, it's typical for this segment of the market.
The stand comes in the form of two feet at either end of the screen, but we suspect that many these days will wall-mount this TV instead for a more seamless finish. With that in mind the connections are well on the back of the TV, so you won't have visible cables hanging out the side.
In terms of that connectivity, there are three HDMI 2.0 and one HDMI 2.1 with eARC which will allow for connection to audio devices such as a soundbar. There's optical and Ethernet connections too, although Wi-Fi is also available to connect to your home network.
It's not the thinnest of TVs, but it suits the price point, while there's a range of sizes that will be popular: many will opt for 55-inch as a main TV, but the 43 and 55-inch models will suit smaller rooms.
We've not had the chance to experience the speaker performance on this TV.
