JVC Fire TV Edition 55'' Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV

Product Information

Everything looks better in 4K – with four times the resolution of Full HD, you'll marvel at the detail and colour definition. If you have selected recycling, please ensure your existing appliance is disconnected (and defrosted where relevant) before our team arrive. Other TVs support some apps, but as we’ve seen recently with older Samsung sets, Netflix support can be pulled at any minute. With Fire TV at the heart of things, you can set your mind at ease. The biggest issues with the JVC, however, are that it struggles with both motion and upscaling – two key performance elements of any self-respecting 4K TV. I didn’t expect much given the 60Hz refresh rate, but the panel’s slow response time is painfully obvious. It’s not too noticeable in brighter scenes, but detail and colours are smudged by horrible blur in darker moments. Similarly, while images look crisp in 4K when the camera is moving slowly, fast action and sports shows up the panel’s limitations, with detail becoming flattened and indistinct. You can create individual profiles for family members, so everyone can easily find their favourites (and you get to keep yours separate from your little Peppa Pig fan).

There's plenty to keep the whole family happy with Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Apple TV, and many more. And you can catch up on shows you've missed straight from the TV guide with Freeview Play. As the JVC employs a VA-type LCD panel, it has a familiar set of pros and cons. Viewed head-on, it supplies a surprisingly vivid, high-contrast image. Move even slightly away from head-on, however, and the contrast and colours fade away rapidly; the viewing angles are narrow at best. As a result, wall-mounting it above eye-level is a no-no, and you’ll want to be seated directly in front wherever possible, which may be awkward in many living rooms. Boxed: 21 kg Guarantee 1 year Features Remote control Fire TV remote control VESA mount 200 x 200 Table-top stand Yes Other features - Sleep timer Plus, with HDR content you'll see a greater depth of colour and brilliant brightness for a more realistic viewing experience – those BBC documentaries have never looked so good.Your entertainment has never felt more immersive. Dolby Atmos (from supported content) provides virtual surround sound, so you feel like the action is happening all around you. Together with DTS Virtual X and DTS HD, you get stunning audio. And just like a smart speaker, you can ask Alexa for weather updates, sports scores, the latest headlines, and control smart devices (such as lights or thermostat) around your home. The 4K display supports Dolby Vision and HLG HDR formats, and the speakers take advantage of both DTS HD and DTS Virtual X audio. But, how does it perform? Design Boxed: 17.95 kg Guarantee 1 year Features Voice control Via remote VESA mount 200 x 200 Table-top stand Yes Other features - Sleep timer and HDR would be nothing without content to showcase them, of course, and that’s where Fire OS truly shines.

The LT-55CF890 features the old Fire TV interface and not the all-new Fire TV experience available on some of its streamers. It’s large and straightforward to navigate with tabs for the home screen, live TV, your videos, movies, TV, apps and settings. Let’s not forget this is a TV and not just a screen. With Freeview HD built in, you get access to over 70 channels – 15 of which are HD. There’s a 14-day Electronic Program Guide (EPG) so you can plan ahead, and ensure you never miss the unmissable again. All the world’s musicians ready to play

The JVC Fire TV Edition has 4GB of storage space built in – and you can add more using the two built-in USB ports. That opens things up to the games section of Fire OS, and to make sure that you get that spot on the high score table, you can always connect a PS4 or Xbox One gamepad via Bluetooth. Alexa is waiting and ready to serve Freeview Play makes it easy to catch up on episodes you've missed from the past week – all on demand and in one place Alexa is built-in, so you can give simple voice commands, control your smart devices, and search for entertainment

It’s a shame, then, that Dolby Vision content in the Disney+ app suffered from some horrible juddering during our testing. Netflix was seemingly unaffected but watching content via Disney’s streaming service was blighted with hitches and jerks throughout. Once you notice it, it’s very distracting. Hopefully this is something which can be ironed out with a future software update. The TV comes in three sizes – 40in, 49in and 55in – and all three have support for the HLG, HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats. That means you should be able to enjoy streaming HDR content from any of the main providers, with the added bonus that you’ll get the best results on any streaming service with Dolby Vision support, which currently includes Disney+ and Netflix.Forget flipping between apps – you'll find all your favourite shows on the home screen of this JVC Fire TV. You'll see recommendations from Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, and Apple TV – and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Each member of the family can have their own profile, so your dramas won't get mixed in with the kids' favourites. It all looks great on the 4K QLED display which brings brilliant brightness and natural colours. HDR10 and Dolby Vision bring an even greater depth of colour and brilliant brightness, so everything looks more real. Once you’re into the Fire TV interface proper, you’re faced with a familiar set of tiles offering apps, recently watched programmes and suggestions of things you might want to watch. In addition to the usual suspects, you’ll also notice tiles for the TV’s various HDMI inputs and terrestrial TV tuner. These inputs are treated just like apps or watched programmes, so if you regularly use the HDMI 4 port, for instance, then that gets pole position in your recently watched list. All your favourite Prime shows and movies are just moments away. The built-in Fire TV smart platform makes it easy to find something new with personalised recommendations, a handy navigation bar, and sneeky peak - which gives you a preview of what's on. There's plenty to keep the whole family happy with Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, Discovery, BBC iPlayer, and many more.
