Amazon Fire TV Series 4 Is on Sale at Its Lowest Price Right Now
Right now, the Amazon Fire TV 4 Series (50-inch) is down to $319.99 from the regular $399.99, which price trackers confirm is its lowest ever.
If you’re looking for a basic 4K TV under $350, this might be the option for you—though note the emphasis on “basic.” It supports HDR10 and HLG, but misses out on Dolby Vision, which affects how well it handles the color and contrast of HDR content . This can be a deal breaker if you are picky about image quality. This TV also lacks the new ATSC 3.0 tuner , so you’re limited to 4K over-the-air capabilities. The Fire TV interface is quite user-friendly, especially if you’re already in the Amazon ecosystem, and offers built-in access to Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and more. You also get Apple AirPlay, which makes it easy to mirror or stream from Apple devices.
However, it is not designed for high-performance browsing. The panel isn’t the brightest, and contrast can appear flat in dark rooms. Motion processing is fine for regular TV and movies, but if you’re hoping to watch fast-paced sports or play video games, you’ll notice some lag and blur. The Alexa voice remote works well, although it doesn’t have speakerphone functionality like some pricier Fire TVs , PCMag’s review noted. That said, installation is quick, the build doesn’t feel cheap, and it holds up well to everyday use. This deal makes sense for a TV backup , dorm room, or for anyone replacing an old screen on a budget. But if you’re chasing deep blacks, punchy highlights, or smooth frame rates , you’ll want to shop higher up the food chain.
