– Amazon Ember 55" Mini-LED Series with Fire TV, QLED 4K UHD smart TV, Dolby Vision IQ, 144 Hz gaming mode, ambient experience, hands-free with Alexa, 2024 release

This is a truly lovely tv, we use it for tv shows and films, and PS5 gaming, it has a really dynamic picture with great sound. We haven't quite got the setting right for dialogue in a tv show, so generally just turn it up louder 😁😁. Our apps were all on the Amazon firestick, which is all built into the tv, which is brilliant and works so much quicker. Overall really really happy, you get a lot of tv for your money, I'd give 6 stars honestly

I bought the Amazon Fire TV Omni LED and overall I’m very impressed. The picture quality is great and everything runs smoothly. The built in speakers are decent as well, although I mainly use a soundbar so haven’t pushed them too much. I changed the wake word to Echo as I already have an Alexa in the living room, which works well for my setup. The TV has been performing faultlessly so far with no issues. There are a couple of small downsides. Sun glare is fairly average and can be noticeable on bright days. The sensor doesn’t always pick up that you’re in the room to start the artwork, and I’d prefer a more matte style display for that feature. Overall though, a really good TV for the price and I’m very happy with it.

I don't often write reviews, but this TV (so far, after a week or so) is fantastic. The picture quality is incredible compared with my old TV - the blacks are so black! Colours are crisp, contrast is great. The sound quality is as good as any I've heard - no need for a sound bar unless you're a real perfectionist. It's clear, and with excellent bass response. The menu system works fine, it's response speed is far better than my old fire stick. Inevitably a bit of faff setting everything up at the start (but no real problems), but beyond that I have nothing but good things to say about it (again... so far!).

I have very mixed feelings about this TV. I haven’t used, and don’t intend to use, any of its smart features. I buy a TV to be a TV. So if you’re looking for an opinion on the smart platform, this isn’t the review for you. I bought this TV purely for the price point and the hardware features. The first thing that stands out is the picture. It’s extremely vibrant out of the box. After turning off all the visual enhancements, disabling motion smoothing, and reducing sharpness, the raw picture quality is actually very good. Brightness levels are strong, colours pop nicely, and for a large screen the resolution holds up well. The built-in sound is also better than expected. There’s a rear-mounted, boom-box-style speaker that projects sound back off the wall, giving a warmer, bassier feel than most thin TVs. It works surprisingly well for casual viewing. I’ve since added a soundbar to improve things further, but the internal audio is genuinely decent. Where things fall down is connectivity and speed. Connecting a soundbar and multiple HDMI devices via ARC/eARC has been frustrating. The TV itself is very slow. HDMI devices rely on a handshake process, and on this TV that process takes far too long. When everything is powered on, the soundbar and set-top box are ready almost instantly, while the TV takes its time booting. What often happens is audio starts playing through the soundbar before the TV has fully loaded. Once the TV finally comes on, it hasn’t switched over correctly, so the remote only controls the TV and not the external devices. I frequently have to switch to HDMI 2 from HDMI 1 and back again just to force everything to sync. It does eventually work, but it happens often enough to be annoying. I suspected HDMI cables might be part of the issue, so I replaced several older cables with short, newer ones. That actually helped. Handshakes are faster, the signal is cleaner, and startup time improved noticeably. Still not perfect, but better. The settings menu is also poorly designed. If you’re watching something on HDMI 1 and want to adjust picture settings, you can’t access them directly. You have to press Home, leave the input entirely, go into Settings, then Display & Audio, then Picture Settings, select the HDMI input you’re already using, and only then does it return you to HDMI 1 with the settings overlay visible. It’s clunky and unintuitive. There’s also a setting called “Apply to all inputs.” I pressed it once early on, and after that I could never find a way to undo it. There’s no obvious toggle to reverse it. In the end, I had to factory reset the TV. I connected the TV to the internet once to update it, then immediately reset it again and disconnected it permanently. As far as I can tell, there’s no way to restore per-input picture controls once that option is applied - except with a factory reset. In short: great picture once tuned, surprisingly good built-in sound, but slow performance, messy HDMI behaviour, and poorly thought-out menus let it down. I’ve also been using the TV for gaming and ran a few tests to see how the refresh rate held up. Initially, at 4K full resolution, I was only getting around 30 Hz. However, once I switched HDMI 2 into gaming mode, it unlocked higher refresh rates. Where it struggles is contrast. Because there’s no proper contrast control, some games, especially darker titles, can look too dark. The only workaround is adjusting gamma on the pc itself. On PC, you’ll likely need software-level tools (GPU control panel, reshade, or in-game gamma controls) to compensate. Console - can't help you. Overall. Excellent for the price. Just a few annoyances that let it down. Green screen shows an example of bad HDMI handshake.

This TV irritates me daily. I really, really regret not sending it back when I could. When I first used it, it had what looked like a serious panel issue, where random patches, lines, and huge chunks of the screen would massively dim, turn off, or change brightness/contrast. Completely unusable. But through messing with the settings, factory resetting, and system updates, I managed to get it working but now I dare not change any settings again. I've had it about 6 months now and every day I regret not sending it back. The picture quality is good, but the UI, Alexa's usability, irritating pop-up, full screen adverts, pointless buttons on the remote, and general user experience issues have me wishing I'd not got it every day. I absolutely despise this television and feel massively ripped off. The localised brightness adjustments and AI HDR and all that stuff is completely imperceptible. The product videos/pictures show these features completely doing away with glare from a window. Completely misleading. Once the sun is out, this is just as unwatchable as any other TV without closing your curtains. Don't get excited. It doesn't do what you're thinking it does. It's a good quality panel, but nothing special in that regard. Alexa is terrible. I had to take my other alexa products out of the next room because anytime I tried to use them the TV responded. And, yes, I have my settings adjusted the way they should be to avoid this. But when in front of the TV, it never hears me. I am constantly shouting at It and repeating myself. It also doesn't understand basic, obvious commands such as "resume". Other commands such as "pause" only work on certain apps. Saying "play" as in "resume" works but only if the screen saver hasn't come on. If the screen saver comes on, "play" starts amazon music, no matter how many times you've changed your settings to not use amazon music because it is awful. The only way is to find the remote and press the back button, then press play. There seems to be no voice command for "back". It also doesn't recognise its own name. "TV off" results in either "there is no device called "TV" on your account" or "there are multiple devices called "TV"" - then it doesn't give a list of them to pick from. It just does nothing. I have never in the last 6 months changed the number of devices on my account and this is the only TV. I also changed its name to "TV". It just doesn't work. Any intuitive commands you assume would be there like "go back 30 seconds" when you have an interruption are not recognised. It just doesn't understand if you tell it what you want even if it is something I credibly simple, and anything it does know has to be said word for word exactly as the commands are individually written and they haven't included the most obvious of variations of these. It cannot control my optical out speakers. Why on earth not? My games console plugged into the TV can. So why on Earth can't the TV? What an absolute joke. So I'm back to the 90s having to tape together a mega remote because this voice controlled smart TV can't do anything. There is more, but I'm sick of writing about this and just wish I had my money back and am so, so angry at myself for not returning it just out of it being inconvenient because of the size when I had a legitimate fault I could have returned it for. I shouldn't have put the work in to sort it myself. It wasn't worth it. I don't have this kind of money to waste but got this because it's cheaper than equivent panels. I would pay the difference in a heartbeat now.

Absolutely love my new TV its so amazing the quality of the packaging was super good it would be hard done by to get damaged on the way to your house that's for sure the picture quality is out of this world and the sound is phenomenal ans having fire TV built in it has all the smart services you require straight out the box and superb value for what it is and what your getting streaming capabilities are tremendous and the size i went from 58 to 75 and the size is just humongous highly recommended for gamers too with its 144hz gaming mode

To update a previous review (which appears to have been removed), the key to using this television is to NOT plug the UHF antenna-in unless your internet falls-over. Freely works adequately; it's not without its bugs, but it's a big improvement on Freeview. Channel hopping is slightly less bad than the previous model (which appears to have been simply chucked in a box with minimal testing). As Freely uses streaming versions of the channels you watch, there is a latency of around15-20 seconds from what's being sent over UHF (which is speed of light minus a few milliseconds), you simply can't get faster than the speed of light, however, unless you are watching a NYE event and the midnight 'bongs' are important, this shouldn't bother you much. The other benefit is the more 'minority' channels picture fidelity is far better. 5Action over UHF is horrible, but the Freely version is watchable. The downside; if your internet provider falls-over as Vodafone did recently, you won't have anything to watch, but you could plug the UHF antenna back in and scan for channels again. UHF transmission is very reliable, but due to limitations of space on the dial, the quality (these days) is not great. Once you have asked the set to find your local opts, you only need to hide all the 'filler' channels, and you will need to hide them if you wish to preserve your sanity. This set, unlike the newer TCL devices which it is (under the bonnet) runs Android and that means you have a wealth of other applications which you can install. Picture quality is fine and it's not difficult to make some minor adjustments to increase your viewing pleasure if you need. Buy a soundbar, the speakers on this set are not good. Adding a USB webcam means you can make Alexa calls to unsuspecting friends and members of your family, without all that tedious shouting at an 8" box from the other side of the room.

Absolutely love our new T.V we’ve had it a couple of months now, easy to use, pictures is amazing, sounds great. Highly recommended.
