The Amazon 4-Series (LCD) is positioned as a budget-friendly TV that offers the basics for casual viewing. If you are seeking a cost-effective option primarily for streaming from integrated Amazon services and you're not overly concerned with picture quality, this might be appealing. However, when it comes to displaying vibrant colors or deep blacks, performing well in bright rooms, or providing a responsive experience for gaming, this TV falls short. For those who prioritize a superior viewing experience for movies, sports, or gaming, and who can invest more, considering a higher-tier model would lead to greater satisfaction. This TV’s strength lies mainly in its smart interface and affordability, but limitations in display and performance are notable compromises. Give Feedback

Ratings by Category
Bright Room:3.1
The Amazon 4-Series (LCD) TV has fair SDR brightness, which means while it should be sufficient for most lit environments, it might struggle in very bright rooms. The TV also has fair reflection handling, meaning it can handle some glare but might be challenged by direct light sources or windows.

Tech Advisor
Jim Martin | May 2023
"The attraction here is that the 4-Series uses Amazon’s Fire TV interface. Picture quality is good but unexceptional. At the discounted prices, which can seemingly be had regularly, they are better value."
