Yeah that's a good deal for those who don't have a 4K TV yet and want one.

I don't think this set is gonna give you crispy HDR. This is just some bulky ugly ass cheap shit. Probably on the same level as Vizio.

My thoughts exactly, looks like Vizio type stuff. Funny how the Fire remote looks like a Roku one with the 4 buttons for services at the bottom. I guess they want to compete with TCL/Roku.

I’ll take TCL over Toshiba. And take a look at the Toshiba reviews, like on rtings.com. Doesn’t inspire me to try out a Fire TV.

Thanks for posting this. I have finally upgraded my 10 year old Panasonic 720p set. I am a huge Kodi user (legally, don't use it to stream off the pirated websites). Have been using it since it originated on modded XBOX's. It would be a HUGE bonus if Kodi could be installed on this being that it's got Fire built in.
Right now I have a 50" Panasonic plasma (TH-50PX60) wall mounted. You guys think I could use the existing mount or do I have to get a different one?

I would, too. I'm just posting thoughts on the vizio comparisons.

Ha, I know. I'm actually surprised Toshiba has gone downhill the way they have. Their 1080's back in the day were solid.

And I'll take Roku over Fire TV.
Seriously, if you want a a good cheap 4K Smart TV, get a TCL Roku TV.
TCL 55S405 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Roku Smart LED TV (2017 Model) is on sale for $380.

You shouldn't have any problems using that old mount on the new TV. Those old 50" Panny plasmas were pretty heavy. I think around 90lbs. According to the chart above the Toshiba has the same VESA mounting points and is only 33lbs for the 55".

Excellent, that's what I was worried about, the VESA points. Can anyone confirm if Kodi can be installed on this TV?

Just canceled the Toshiba & bought the TCL on eBay. It was cheaper on eBay anyway.

Re: Toshiba Fire TV from Amazon shipped by Best Buy (great price!)
I took the old Panasonic 50" & set it up in my bedroom to replace a 32" Toshiba LCD. I only use the bedroom TV to watch OTA channels which the Toshiba had no problems picking up (NBC, ABC, CBS, etc.). For some reason the Panasonic won't pick up any channels after doing a couple of scans. Any ideas? I have FIOS & connect the cable directly into the TV. It has a built in tuner so I don't see why the Toshiba would pick up all the OTA channels but the Panasonic won't.
