Design

The TV has a contemporary, streamlined form that makes for a more immersive viewing experience. It comes with a reliable stand that makes it simple to set up on any surface, or you can mount it to the wall for a cleaner appearance. The bezel around the display isn’t particularly narrow (11.7mm), but it’s also not particularly distracting.

Display

Thanks to its 1080p HD resolution, the Amazon Fire TV 40 2-Series displays graphics that are sharp and crisp. An excellent contrast ratio and the utilization of rich, realistic colors produce a range of dark and light settings. Whether you’re watching movies, playing games, or streaming your favorite shows, the visual quality is excellent.

Brightness

The 2-Series is offered in two screen sizes: 40 inches with a 1080p screen and 32 inches with a 720p screen. Both models can handle HDR content using the HDR10 standard, however the 2-Series lacks the brightness and color capability necessary to fully benefit from high dynamic range playing. Because of this, we only suggest this model to those looking for a compact, inexpensive TV.

Only the Sony X75K outperforms the 2-Series in HDR mode, covering 79.7% of the UHDA-P3 color gamut. That’s a significant drop-off considering that no other TV we tested was able to cover less than 90% of the same spectrum. Additionally, the 2-Series only covered 93.86% of the Rec. 709 color gamut in SDR, resulting in even lower color gamut results. Although that may seem like a lot, the performance is the worst we’ve ever seen compared to the other TVs we’ve evaluated.

Smart TV Features

As a smart TV, the Amazon Fire TV 40 2-Series offers a wide range of streaming options and content. It comes with built-in Fire TV, allowing you to access popular streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and more. You can easily navigate through the apps using the included remote control or the Alexa voice commands. With access to thousands of movies, TV shows, and apps, you’ll always have something to watch.

Performance

Powered by a quad-core processor and backed by 2GB of RAM, this TV delivers smooth and lag-free performance. Whether you’re multitasking between apps or streaming high-definition content, it handles everything with ease. The interface is user-friendly and responsive, making it a breeze to navigate through your favorite apps and settings.

Connectivity

There are numerous connecting options available with the Amazon Fire TV 40 2-Series. For smooth connectivity, it includes HDMI connectors, USB ports, an Ethernet port, and built-in Wi-Fi. To increase your entertainment options, you can simply connect your gaming console, Blu-ray player, or other devices. Digital optical audio out, ethernet, USB 2.0, coaxial cable for live TV, 3 HDMI 1.4 ports (the bottom one has ARC capability), an IR emitter, and a headphone jack are among the respectable range of ports.

Gaming

You can play games on the TV without a console thanks to Amazon Luna.

Audio Quality

The TV has built-in speakers that produce crystal-clear, lifelike audio. Although the built-in speakers are passable, you might want to think about adding additional speakers or a soundbar for a more cinematic experience.

Fire TV Remote

There is no number pad on the remote, which is rather small. However, you do get volume and channel controls as well as a TV button that instantly launches Live TV (in my instance, it redirected me to Tubi). Although it isn’t as feature-rich as the LG Magic Remote, the Fire TV 2-Series’ remote nevertheless does its job well. When it works, the Alexa Voice Remote is excellent. I was able to access TV shows, movies, and apps with my voice.

End notes

Overall, the Amazon Fire TV 40 2-Series 1080p HD Smart TV offers a great combination of picture quality, smart functionality, and affordability. Whether you’re a movie buff, a gamer, or a binge-watcher, this TV is sure to meet your entertainment needs.
