Amazon 4K43N400A vs Vizio D50-D1

First of all, let me say that I rated the Alexa and Smart Features in the middle just because I don't use them -- at least not yet. So don't judge the product based on that!

Instead there's a standard on-screen smart TV interface, which you'll use to launch and control apps such as Netflix. In general I find that a lot more convenient than using your phone, which SmartCast requires.The best built-in smart TV system is found on Roku TVs, however, and they provide the D series' chief competition. Roku's app coverage is second to none and they're super simple to use

On day 2 I was unable to get the TV to respond to the remote to turn on. I used the physical power button in the bottom middle of the TV to start it manually and the remote functioned fine after that. Since that, the remote has functioned flawlessly to turn on the TV. I have no idea what caused the initial issue

Playback controls and dedicated Amazon, iHeartRadio, and Netflix buttons sit above the navigation pad, while the channel and volume rockers and number pad sit below it. The remote's buttons are rectangular and rubber. They're easy to press, but they're not backlit.

This TV (I know, it is a FireTV) is very app/streaming centric, but once I found the setting to default to last input, and that is 99% of the time HDMI1, then it behaves like I want, turn on and display my input, not the apps home screen where I have to use the TVs remote to clear it and show input in HDMI1. I mainly use the remote for my satellite service, and rarely use the TV one, but since it is also the streaming apps, I will use it, and it adds yet another Alexa mic to do things from, TV related or not. TV can be slow sometimes to turn on (it turns on reasonably, but doesn't show what is on the input for a while), again thought the remote was misbehaving again, it was just taking time to show anything. Sound is better than old TV, none of them are real great, I do have a sound bar but I can use this TV with out for watching news and normal shows (not action movies or things with lots of audio like music)

Right so now that ive had this tv for about a year i thought i would revise a little. Picture is still good no issues. The sound is horrible so you should get a sound bar that fix my issue. I also hate there app interface along with there wifi antenna

I will say that the FireTv interface is very spammy. There's a few sponsored banners on the home page. A lot of the recommendations are for Prime Video -- which I have -- but a lot of them aren't free with Prime. They're recommending me content that I have to buy /rent -- which makes it feel like I'm being advertised to

Good integration with my other devices. The sound is could be better but I already have an audio system so it isn't relevant. Give 4 stars cause I think that the interface need some works.

Actually called me today about my review. They never asked any personal information and never will, just for you to verify the information they have is correct. This is awesome customer service. The call came from an unknown number from Washington D

I'll never touch Visio again, this is one time I really should have gone and looked first and avoided this heart burn by buying a different brand.
