This 65-Inch Toshiba Fire TV Is Currently 50% Off.
The 65-inch Toshiba C350 Fire TV is currently on sale on Amazon for $264.99, half off its regular price of $529.99 and the lowest price ever, according to price tracking sites . At this price, it’s in the same price range as many more compact budget models, but with a much larger screen. The main benefit is simple: you’re getting a basic 65-inch 4K TV with the Amazon Fire TV platform built in—making setup quite simple if you already use Amazon devices. Once you sign in with your Amazon account, Prime Video recommendations, Watchlists, and Alexa features will be available.
The interface looks and works exactly like Amazon’s streaming hardware, right down to the content-rich home screen and Alexa voice control. Picture quality is decent for the price, though it’s still an entry-level TV— the C350 supports 4K and HDR content—but it lacks high-end features like local dimming, wide color gamut support, HDMI 2.1 gaming features, or a high refresh rate. In practice, while movies and TV shows look quite good for casual viewing, contrast and color reproduction lag slightly behind similarly priced models from TCL and Vizio, especially in dark scenes, according to a CNET review . Fast-moving sports and games also won’t look as smooth as on more expensive TVs. However, for casual viewing of streaming video, YouTube, and basic cable TV, it gets the job done without major issues.
The main compromise lies in the Fire TV user interface itself. Amazon aggressively promotes its own content, and the interface can feel more cluttered and slower than on other Smart TV platforms. Some apps also work differently than on competing Smart TVs. For example, you can’t directly purchase movies from the Vudu app on this TV. These minor inconveniences add up depending on your viewing style. Furthermore, the USB ports don’t provide sufficient power for many external streaming devices, so if you ultimately decide to ditch the Fire TV, you may need separate power cables for those devices.
