Consensus

our Verdict

The Toshiba Amazon Fire TV 2018 has great 4K picture quality and can play dark scenes well. Plus, its easy-to-use operating system and built-in Amazon Alexa make it a great choice for anyone looking for a simple TV. Unfortunately, it has narrow viewing angles, sub-par HDR performance, a lot of ads in the app store, and lackluster color accuracy. If you’re looking for excellent out-of-the-box color accuracy, check out the TCL 8 Series.
