Amazon Fire TV 40-inch 2-Series | 1080p HD smart TV

I have never wrote your review for any product no matter what I've brought and from anywhere but this one I felt I had to review there are pros and cons and I'd like to make it clear I am no tech wizard but I know what I like there are pros and cons and this is liable to be a bit long-winded but I think for future buyers it will be worth the read firstly the pros. The price was well within my budget and delivery was excellent on time no problems and no damage now we get to the TV the picture quality is very good it is not harsh and in your face but all round a very good picture and I was very surprised the sound is excellent for a flat screen TV many options to choose from to tailor make it to your own specifications in fact I brought a sound bar about two years ago for a 12 year old Samsung we had that the sound on each was rubbish this was not needed for this TV and has been removed he in fact my daughter's boyfriend has a TV 60 inch oLED TV which you paid a fortune for and the sound on it is rubbish compared to this TV a TV is smooth in operation and responsive to speech if fact I'll go as far to say this TV is well worth the money and my wife and I could not be happy with each now the cons the sockets for the HDMI our situated in the middle of the TV at the back not a problem if you're going to Mount it on the feet it came with but if you're going to pedestal mountains or worse still wall mounted then trying to put the plugs in for the relevant device is can be a bit fiddly but is doable with patience unfortunately it's only has USB 2 not 3 which is a bit of a letdown but for the price it's understandable I hope this review helps somebody out let me make it quite clear I do not work for Amazon in any way shape or form I'm just a normal consumer who knows what he likes in my opinion for the price I paid for it I am well happy

No complaints from a young adult using this in their bedroom. Easy to set up smart TV and good deal

The Amazon Fire TV 40‑inch Series 2 has fired up our living room in no time. The built‑in Fire platform makes streaming shows and apps effortless—no extra boxes or cables needed—so setup was a breeze and content is just a click away. Picture quality is clear for everyday viewing, and the 40‑inch size hits a nice balance for medium rooms. While the TV is on the basic side and occasionally slow to respond, it still delivers reliable access to all the major streaming services, which keeps binge‑watching frustration to a minimum. Overall, it’s practical, functional, and perfect for anyone wanting the convenience of Amazon’s ecosystem without fuss. A simple, solid choice that keeps entertainment on fire without overcomplicating things.

Brilliant TV. At first it's a bit laggy but that's during set up when it's updating the system after that it's nice and smooth. If you hold the home button on the remote it brings up a quick settings menu which shows settings for picture, sound, input and your installed apps which is nice. The picture has a few different picture modes and the sound does also. HDR is a bonus, especially if you are a gamer like me. I've found the best settings for gaming are: Picture mode: PC. Backlight: 100. Smart HDR: on. Brightness settings: contrast: 50. Colour settings: saturation: 50. White balance: colour temperature: standard. The colour temperature is set to warm by default but it gives the picture a yellow/orange tint. The weight of the TV is like a feather. When the delivery driver handed the box to me I thought they had forgot to put the TV in the box lol. The TV not having an aux port wasn't a problem for me as when I'm gaming I can plug my gaming headset into the controller. When I watch something at night I connect my Alexa ear buds to the TV since the TV has built in Bluetooth. The controller isn't too big, it's nice and sleek. The instructions only tell you basic things so I advise you to spend time looking through settings. They are features which could increase power usage, which it will inform you with a pop up if that's the case. Eg auto power off after the TV isn't in use for a while. After my purchase I would have bought this for the original £299.99, I was lucky enough to get it on offer for £199.99 at 5 monthly payments of £40. Highly recommend!

Bought this on Prime Day as I wanted a reasonably priced replacement Smart TV for our guest bedroom - with Fire TV streaming services capability - and this seemed to suit the spec well. I was toying between this and the FHD 43" version for not much more but went for this on size preference. It was also going to be used as a replacement PC monitor [in the same room] so this had to do two jobs. I was expecting a slow responding GUI and poor displaying 720 resolution LCD TV to be fair, given the price... but was really surprised to see how well it performed in both the capacity of a Fire TV and as a PC monitor. I can't really fault it as a guest room facility. It streams content well (given its 100Mb ethernet port limitation), it displays pretty good (there's lots of control to tailor the screen to your exacting preference but there are also decent presets for that as well) and it actually does a good job as a PC monitor. Downsides...? For the price, nothing showstopping. The onboard speakers on it are limited - as they are on all LCD TVs this size - so consequently the standalone sound isn't great (but to mitigate that, it does have a HDMI connection that is 'Audio Return Channel' (ARC) enabled, so you could add a compatible soundbar to improve matters). On a similar note, there's no "old school" physical headphone/line out jack socket (although Bluetooth audio connectivity is available). It would've been nice to be able to electronically label (and therefore Alexa voice-enable) one of the HDMI inputs as a "PC" (seems to be the only label option missing and odd seeing as it has a 'PC' screen settings preset). And lastly... the mains cable is hardwired and fairly short. Other than that... it's actually quite a surprisingly good performer.

Initially, this TV seemed great: easy to set up, great sound and picture quality and didn't take ages to start up when switched on. However, after only 8 months, start up became very sluggish. A little over a year since purchase and the set is glitch-ridden and has an annoying intermittent habit of re-starting itself or turning off completely after just a few minutes. At first this only affected live channels, but it now happens at random on any app. Clearing caches makes no difference. It doesn't seem to be an issue with the sleep timer (and why can't this feature be turned off, by the way, Amazon?) as it turns off at random regardless of the time set. I have tried all the options (update, restart, check connections, turn off and on again) suggested by Amazon's AI assistant to no avail, and Customer Support chat is a joke. After some variations on the "turn it off and on again" theme, they suggested I either: a) Restore factory settings or (wait for it) b) Deactivate my existing Amazon account and re-register with Amazon. Neither option was guaranteed to fix the issue, while both would cause maximum inconvenience to me (and option b didn't seem relevant at all) Since Customer Support said that the aerial on my house was probably faulty, I had it replaced, but it didn't fix the issue. I am now about to scrap the wretched TV set and buy another smart TV, NOT from Amazon. Nothing would induce me to buy another Fire TV set. The product, and Amazon Customer Support, is abysmal - don't waste your money.

Very nice 34" TV, hugely impressed with the picture quality, the sound is quite low, need to really ramp it up but it's not an issue. Make sure you explore the settings, change the default startup to your last input, not the home screen. Other things I love: - I didn't know this before but my Ring doorbell appears on the screen when someone rings me bell. I didn't even have to set this up - My BT (Bose QC45) headphones connect immediately after paired, not like my LG which pops up asking if I want to connect each time I power on. Really convenient. And it offers audio delay for BT, I set this to 10ms - It's so light, not really a feature but you can lift the box with one hand The mounting holes takes M4 (short) screws which are not supplied. Really glad I choose this TV!

Wish I had sent it back , it freeze's, it also doesn't have a reminder programme option, my fault for not reading the description properly,
