his Is second one I ordered ,and delighted with my TVs ,but very unsure why price went up by 110 on ordering second tv .now gone done again ,I had hope to receive both for same price as the first …
Bought as offer around time of being laid up in bed. Holed up in spare room. Helped pass the hours away with Netflix, Prime Video & other apps easy to set up. First Alexa enabled TV & it’s good.
Bought a separate wall bracket. Hung up tv easily.
Great picture and sound. Smart features grea
Fab TV easy to use. Lot easier to flip through apps. Yes would definitely recommend
Great tv for the price. Looks good and the picture quality is good. It was very easy to set up. I would say it was money well spent.
Really impressed with this tv I usually buy LG but it was just for my bedroom so thought I’d get a cheaper one WOW it’s great and it makes such a difference having amazon built in.
After reading the reviews I was worried about the sound and the tv being slow but everything is perfect picture is great I don’t think the sound is bad, I’ve not even touched the settings this video is how the tv comes set up with pic and sound. It was very easy to attach the stand. Absolute bargain.
Had a nightmare with this TV. Delivery driver (hermes) just about chucked it through the door at me, apart from a crumpled corner box looked fine though. unfortunately, once we unpacked it quickly realised the screen was totally shattered . Contacted amazon about returning, waited a few days and a driver came to pick it up, saw the size of the box and refused to take it! Contacted amazon again, who decided I needed a special heavy freight delivery service, which I had to organise (And pay for ) ! Sod that! It’ fitted into a delivery van coming, they could take the bloody thing back again! After arguing, amazon agreed to arrange a xl company to pick it up themselves (c’mon, its only a tv) and a week or so later I finally got a refund. Hotfooted it to curry’s where I bought the same TV in person (same price but without the shatter), i sat in my little 2 door Seat, while they loaded it into the back for me and an hour later was finally sat watching squid game.
So yes, the TV itself is great, delivery not so much x
My brand new item came in a disgusting state tatty & opened, I should have refused delivery but took a punt on it being ok inside.
I complained about it to Amazon & worked out some financial compensation, well pleased!
Removed TV from box & looked for damage, lucky none!
Next job connect up other equipment & power/ setup using quick setup guide, went like a dream.
Important after setup power down & remove mains supply / plug from socket, then power up again, enjoy!
Excellent picture, Excellent features, excellent value. JVC always have been a name for quality and this is the proof. Very happy with this purchase
What an absolute bargain!!! Fantastic picture built in fire stick all the smart stuff you need very easy to set up very highly recommended + no remote control needed just ask Alexa Simples
If you look in the mirror and see a moron staring back at you, you will go waste a whole load of money on a TV that is not half as great as this.
See everything you can watch in one place with every app you have excelle
Excellent set. Only niggle is the feet being at opposite ends of the set. I was unable to put it on a bracket as our stud walls had no stud to attach it to. We had to buy 2 little tables to put tv on as standard tv cabinets and tables aren’t long enough to put tv on. Apart from that the tv is highly recommended. No firestick to plug in. All functions on the set work seamlessly. Kids had fun getting the Alexa to do fart noises all Xmas day lol.
When we decided to buy a larger TV we feel in love with this one as it can be linked to my Amazon account.
So easy to set up, prompts on the screen for the initial instructions and installation. Couldn’t of been easier.
Now we have a larger TV which makes it easier to see the words on the screen (eyes are struggling to see the more I age)
If you have an Amazon Prime account, this is the perfect TV for you.
The picture quality is great and no sound delay. Alexa integration is really handy, it’s voice control to anyone that doesn’t know what Alexa is, and I really like this TV.
For the price,a great tv. Has all the channels you need and very easy to set up
Everything about this tv is easy to use. great picture easy controls cannot fault i
The Television does what it says on the box, very pleased with my purchase. One thing you can’t do is turn the TV off from the TV, you can only put it in standby. You can only fully turn off by unplugging the TV.
We bought this as our main tv for our first house and it’s fab. Great to have the smart tv function with the Netflix and prime buttons on the remote for easy access. Really happy with our purchase. Great tv for a great price, which I’m grateful for as never had to shop for TV’s before. Would definitely recommend.
We like this tv very much. It is our first smart tv and well worth the money and experience. It’s probably my eyesight but I can’t see any difference in quality between the ordinary and HD channels.
Extremely easy to set up, has loads of great features and gives a really good picture on HD and 4K. My only gripe so far is the picture on older films/shows can be a bit pixelated, especially the Blacks.
Again disappointment. As an Englishman not only do I have to complain it is expected of me. My tv arrived at the time stated and was brought to the doorstep. Everything was set up as per instructions and from opening the box to turning on the telly took no more than a quarter of a hour. Brilliant picture and very easy to use I am more than happy with my tv from heaven & should anyone decide to get it in the future I have 1 word for you. Congratulations!
For me, the remote control is small and fragile, but the tv is excelle
Does exactly what it says on the box. Easy to use and great picture quality
I bought this to make writing on the TV bigger as I can see it a lot better.
Great value for a UHD TV, and build-in Fire Stick Interface is very good.
My only complaint is that the internal memory is small which limits the number of Apps you could install. That being, there is enough memory to install all the Apps I wanted.
Its been nearly 18 months since we bought the TV and I think now is a good time to review it.
Lets get the bad out of the way first, and the biggest issue is the lack of memory, the RAM is insufficient which makes the menus laggy and slow to respond until its been running for a little bit.
The HDR isn’t great, its very much HDRish and Dolby Vision is very hit and miss as to what content it works with, the Xbox Series X and it do not get on.
We have the 43″ version and for the 300ish we paid for it at the time, it made sense, as it had all the features we needed, could be delivered, cause the pandemic meant shortages, and ticked the boxes.
Had my main TV not died after 13 years, I would have saved a bit longer and spent a bit more, but it is what it is.
Now for the good stuff, the 4K isn’t that bad. helps that its a smaller screen I guess, the services available have really improved, it took over a year to get Apple TV+ but now apps that get a release for the stick, usually get a same day Fire TV edition, it integrates well with Alexa, but can be a bit buggy sometimes, and the remote, is super simple and easy for my mother in law to understand.
I think that if Amazon, want to be serious about their own TV range, then they need to stop cutting corners, more memory and a better implementation of HDR.
For the majority of people this will be fine, heck although I can point out the faults and I am a rather techy person, when, I want to kickback and enjoy some Forza Horizon or a 4k movie, its more than sufficient.
If you are on a budget, this might be the right choice, if not, look elsewhere, oh and if you do get this, budget in a soundbar, like most modern TVs, its speaker is pathetic, but I only mention that in passing simply because I have yet to come across a modern TV that doesn’t have terrible tinny speakers, even some 2k ones have worse sound than this!
After very careful set up (it was covered in a duvet while I attached the stand) plugged it in took off the screen cover.. .and a huge smash like a hammer put thru the screen on the left hand side,multi coloured lines dripping from the top and two horizontal lines across the screen.
Last time I ever buy anything expensive on line and Amazon won’t let me complain.
Do not buy expensive items off Amazon esp CURRYS .
The only exception we had was getting the TV to work in 4k HDR on our xbox series S. The TV set the resolution to 1080p on the xbox, and the xbox would not allow us to display 4k as it said the TV did not support 4k HDR, as advertised…
However, the fix to this is going into the picture settings (hold home button) and select advanced settings. At the bottom change the HDMI input mode to *Mode 2* from auto. This will now allow 4k HDR at 60hz. I have added a picture to show the setting.
Otherwise it’s a great TV, wanted to add this in case anybody else had the same problem for their console and could only play in standard HD rather than the 4k!
Arrived early was very easy to set up and am now watching it, all within less than 1/2 an hou
The tv is great not using all features yet just plugged into cable tv. The only problem I have is that the virgin remote I cannot get the volume control to work on new tv all other functions work on the virgin remote
So far in the three weeks I have had the tv, I have found no faults. It is easy to connect to the WIFI and to set up first time. I have mounted it to the the wall and its light weight means I managed it with out assistance.
The picture and sound is great. I connected blue tooth head phones with ease.
I want to start by saying I like this TV and I probably don’t write enough good Amazon reviews as I’m rarely disappointed. But this TV has a flaw that I think buyers need to be aware of.
I’ll start by saying its a good budget TV. The colours are decent, and the Fire TV operating system is very good. It replaced a TV in my garage conversation that had an external chromecast dongle and having everything in the same place on one remote is much nicer.
The Alexa voice integration works well and being able to turn it on or off, adjust the volume and pick TV channels without the remote is great as I’m constantly mislaying remotes.
But I have a lot of Alexa speakers and the setup in my garage has two Echo’s in a stereo pair with a sub. They’re pretty good too (I should probably review them separately) and I was looking forward to being able to use them in a home theatre setup. I know speakers on TV’s aren’t great and usually prefer to add a soundbar, but I’d read all about the home theatre mode and couldn’t wait to try it out. I nearly got a fire stick but when looking at them I found the 43in version of the JVC Fire TV in the Black Friday sale and couldn’t resist.
So you can imagine my disappointment to find that when trying to setup the TV and speakers in a Home Theatre setup you’re met with an incompatible message. Call me a big kid but I was literally gutted and thought about returning the TV. But then I thought that perhaps it was coming in future so I called tech support. The first lady didn’t know what i was talking about and put me through to the “dedicated team” for this product but while I was on hold the call got disconnected. So I still don’t know if this is something Amazon will add in future with a firmware update. I hope so! if it’s added i’ll gladly update this review to five stars and I’d probably get a bigger one for the bedroom where I have an Echo Studio crying out to be linked to a TV. As it stands I can’t help but think this is an unfinished product with less features than the sticks they sell for a a fraction of the price and that’s disappointing.
Well packaged. Simple set up. Thoroughly enjoying our new tv.
I found out why it’s called a smart TV. One has to be smart to get it going, if not even a genius. Set up diagram shows two women getting it out of the box. No chance, I had to cut the box away to get the TV out. It was too tightly packed to simply remove.
Not a bad picture and the sound is pretty good. Really needs the Amazon Fire stick to work it. Thing to watch is you use the right screws for the stand. The diagram shows them as white, 4 are black and 4 are silver. Just look closely at diagram to see which are which.
Very happy with the tv, I am looking to ditch cable & use streaming services, this gives me all i need in one place. The 4k looks stunning through disney plus and amazon & i am tempted to upgrade netflix but i will wait.
I also use ps4 & xbox one. The ps4 upscale looks great but the xbox one cant upgrade as this tv is only 50fps. But I really notice the upscale on the PlayStation & games like the last of us 2 look fantastic.
Virgin cable worked through HDMI fine & even got a good picture using a old booster aerial.
The interface is ok a bit cluncky but for the price 369 for a 50″ 4k telly I can live with it.
I recently helped a friend set up a new Smart TV and it took ages as was not at all straightforward. The installation of the JVC Fire however, was really intuative and pretty quick. Really pleased with it.
It takes at least a minute to turn on and you have to press the home button to turn it on, which makes my Alexa skill useless.
Other than that it’s a great TV
Need an upgrade for my tv – this is was a great price and the tv itself is vey good.
The complete package is more than expected. Well worth waiting fo
I bought this and was not sure I would like it or be able to use it as I’m not very tech savvy but is so easy to work i
This is a Very nice and special Smart TV. I got it for my last birthday. It provides a very good quality of images and video, and easy to use as well: you just have to connect the WIFI internet to it, and that’s it…..all the rest is very simple; to be honest i did not ever use the Instruction Manual more that once. Im not very smart with technology so this TV was simply the best thing that i could buy! – Highly Recommend it !
I love the smart features .. you can control you’re TV and other smart devices around the home by talking through the remote control
However, I have had a cheaper make 4K television with a much clearer picture, this is a little disappointing.
The one from Amazon did not work I got the same TV from Curry’s the same day. Hermes picked up the return the day after & the money was put back in my account. I have 5 TVs in the house this is the best.
Jolly good television….very good sound particularly for speech ( when films have those awful muffled voices ) good picture. Generally, a good all rounder.
Bought at a time when a promotion was available so cost price to us was just 409.00 and very well spent at that. Good picture quality, smart services and access to applications all direct via the TV with no need for other connections such as Fire Sticks. For a couple with not much technical knowledge it was easy to set up and we seemed to be up and running in no time.
I expect some may not be as keen as we are and it does seem you can pay several thousand pounds for something similar but for us it is perfect!
When I saw the price of this TV I had to double take as it was well worth it. The sound quality and picture quality are very good. Sharp 4k and HD picture and clear sound. You also have inbuilt Fire TV so you don’t need the Fire stick dongle.
At 50 inches the size is optimal. I would definitely recommend this TV.
We have received this 43″ TV a few weeks ago and we love it. I had a fire TV stick before so I was used to navigate the Amazon environment. The TV is incredibly light considering the size. Once the Wi-Fi is set up and you have entered your Amazon Prime account, there will be a few software updates and reboots. Amazon prime has some movies in 4K, so we have enjoyed watching those even we had already watched some of those movies before. The picture quality is really great. We are very satisfied considering the cost.
I just find it very slow on boot up And the apps take a little while to load up
Our other TV died so we bought this to replace it. Picture quality is very good. Price was good. I would recommend this TV
I saw this product on the Curry’s website however delivery wouldn’t have been straight away and luckily I checked Amazon and seen that I could get it the next day on prime! Amazing purchase, mainly used for gaming on my PS4 and also watching telly and my little one also enjoys watching baby tv on there! Picture quality is amazing and also has a feature than can use your photos from your phone as a screensaver on there which I absolutely love, happy all around!
Bought this tv for main viewing. I was guided by price which is excellent. What I missed was the relationship between Amazon and JVC. Before accessing any of the tv stations I had to register with Amazon which was a first for me in respect of the purchase of a new tv. I was rather wary as I had to give my tv my email address and other information I wasn’t prepared for. This is obviously required to build a profile for targeted advertising but also to collect information on what programmes I have watched and who knows what else.
I though that this was rather sinister and very Big Brother like – which I don’t like. Everything is planned to deliver s large Amazon presence in programme placement for the like of Netflix and Amazon Prime. More importantly I feel I have set myself up to be monitored by the largest private, unregulated foreign retail company and data gatherer in the this country.
Since I felt rather used by all of this, and angry with myself for not doing any real research. To deflect from this and put my mind at ease, I have now taken to purchasing a VPN that protects my email address and location by routing through several servers instead of the one direct link.
The supplier Currys means I have an on street retailer location for reference should I have problems with the JVC set, which is still good value and top performance, Just be aware of what you give away.
I had to return and request a refund on the tv which I purchased though Amazon due to it arriving with the box damaged resulting in a cracked screen. On looking online I was able to get the same 43″ tv from Curry’s at the same price which meant I didn’t have further delays in replacing my LG 3D tv that had the backlights fail.
I was surprised how light this TV was compared to my LG. As such, handling it will require a bit more care to avoid any potential screen damage. It’s easy to set up but be prepared to spend about 30 minutes while the TV does its latest software updates. Picture quality, apps and features are good. Alexa built in enabling you to use voice commands to control many aspects of the TV however it’s not perfect as some voice commands fail to work yet other voice commands add to the ease of switching channels, searching a film category etc. The remote is well laid out and functions well. I have not been able to check the 4K UHD features on it as my Shy Q minibox in my office room doesn’t do UHD, only HD, unlike the main Sky Q satellite box!
In all, I am very happy with this TV and the price makes it an extremely good buy.
Great plcture. All the functions you would expect from a smart TV. Wonderfully slim. Great sound. The remote is small – so much nicer than those big remotes with buttons most of us never use. Linked to my Amazon account at purchase which made set up a breeze. A TV is not something I usually get excited about but this one is pretty fabulous!
The main disappointment we have found is that we cannot set up a programme time
Great value for money. Really happy with this smart TV
Works well although as many reviews state, you have to turn of the auto brightness function or its like a disco while watching some scenes. I nearly returned the TV till i made the right adjustment.
Last update improved its functionality too. Although would be nice if it was obvious how to reprogram the 4 “quick select” buttons, which I believe is possible but I haven’t managed yet.
An info button also wouldn’t hurt to see whats is on-screen without having to enter menus – which turn the program off. Also recording to a usb would have been nice.
Works better than the last 3 smart tv’s i have owned.
Some of the SD picture quality is blurry, but cant prove thats the TV, its size or something else. Fine on HD.
Overall, at least 95% happy with it.
I got this tv as my outdated non-smart tv was driving me insane. If you’re a prime user the Home Screen is very similar to the prime video layout so it should be an easy transition.
Only slight bug bear is the delay of switching between apps at times is slow and could be smoother but for the price I think it’s a great deal.
Has all the apps I’d want as well.
I love everything about it, so glad my sons persuaded me to get a bigger one keeps.me out of trouble always something to find on it ,picture and sound brillia
This Tv is brilliant easy to use via the remote with excellent picture quality so much clearer than the old one. Set up was quick and although stand not used as we wall mounted it, the TV was light and easy handle during the mounting. Tv has all the modern day features as all the family are happy. Would highly recommend.
Good sound, loads of smart features, very pleased with this t.v.
The best television ever,
you can easily download all apps you need, very fast with internet
works with Alexa
Absolutely love this TV! Arrived early. So easy to set up and I’m a bit of a techniphobe! Great picture, great sound, great smart tv. The 50 inch screen fits perfect on my chimney breast. Great value for money.
So far so good it was easy to set up
he freeview image is average but streaming and gaming is Crystal clear
had some issues getting xbox series x working in 4K it kept going back to 1080p after trying to chang the display.. the fix is to go into the tv settings and change port to HDMI 2.0
also its 60hz not 50hz
Absolutely over the moon with the TV. Picture quality second to none and the smart features are brillia
What I like about this JVC 4k tv is that there is so many apps on it and the size of it perfect for my bed room.
The picture is good for the price but no way as good as my Samsung tv in the lounge I paid twice as much.
The dislikes for the JVC tv that there is no bbc red button text on in which I do not under stand cos JVC remote has the text button on it but red button it self work. my Hisense tv was even worst that it did not have red button text or red button.the The other thing I do not like on the JVC is I can not seem able to set a timer event on any of the channels apart for that this tv is good for the money.
This was very easy to set up and for a change the instruction manual was very informative instead of the usual 2 page leaflet. The picture is good although not entirely happy with sound being operated by smart as it can suddenly go very loud according to what is happening. One thing I thought was very poor is the Alexa remote; do not particularly like using Alexa as it only works sometimes and can take longer than doing it yourself and it is very flimsy and hard to use.
Good picture and sound, if you fiddle around with settings. However upscaling is awful so non-HD channels look pretty awful.
So many downsides- software just doesn’t work properly so TV sometimes refuses to turn on, freezes, or won’t connect to hotspot.
Doesn’t do HDD recording onto memory stick, there’s no previous channel button, you can’t reorder channels. Annoying info banner, stays on much too long.
So fed up with it after eight months have gone back to my seven year old Sony. All in all I just wouldn’t recommend- suggest you avoid.
Everything is great picture is not as good as other 4k TVs a have seen but all in all good buy
Another of reviews say about the time lag. This is an easy fix ,just clear the cache in settings on all apps. It will be like a different TV.
Internal storage isn’t great so can’t download top many apps at once time.
This is an easy set up as my wife set it up herself well impressed
Debated over whether or not to get this TV for some time. I’ve now had it for over about a month and it’s worked like a dream!
This smart tv was very easy to set up. Has an excellent picture quality with very good sound quality.
Picture quality is amazing, and you can really tell the difference when watching in UHD. Alexa works well, but some features on the Echo work better and you can’t use the tv to ‘drop in’, the TV is awesome and would highly recommend!
Early days but nice unit with good picture and a host of useful apps. Especially useful in that it includes apps for both Prime and Netflix
Having previously ordered a TV from somewhere else that wouldn’t connect to the internet and proved a nightmare to return….. this was a dream. It arrived the next day, connected first time and sooooo easy to use. I love having everything on one set of controls and Alexa is great for all my childrens’ clever questions. The sound quality isn’t the best and that’s the main reason for a 4 star not 5 star rating. Overall i love the TV, all the functions and it’s so easy to use.
Really amazing picture quality and great tv I wish I’d have got a bigger one though but totally my own doing just an amazing TV
Lovely TV that does everything that I need. Easy to set up. Very quick delivery and very happy with purchase.
Easy installation, set up and use. Took about 45 minutes to connect all other systems wired and Bluetooth. No issues what so ever. Thank you
Bought for elderly parents during lockdown as there tv broke down, all I can say is it’s easy to use, my mother loved elexa feature as she has bad eyesight and finds changing channel and volume so just talking to remote does it for her all in all a good buy
I have the 40 inch model, which I bought for a bedroom. The size is probably overkill, but this is the perfect secondary TV for a bedroom etc. The integrated Fire TV is great, if slightly sluggish at times, but it makes up for that in the breadth of content available. It’s also very easy to sideload Android apps from other sources, meaning you can stream just about any content.
The picture is pretty good, although being LCD, you’re never going to get perfect blacks. I also found some of the advanced picture controls were disabled when running apps (only accessible for the tuner or HDMI inputs), so it’s not simple to make fine adjustments to picture quality. As such, I probably wouldn’t recommend it for the hardcore home cinema enthusiast. But as a second TV, or if you simply don’t care about having a perfect cinema-like experience, then it’s incredible value.
Picture very good, but TV very slow to respond to remote control. Can take a few seconds to respond, therefore I often think its not going to work. This TV is being used as a PC monitor so I rarely use it in TV mode. If this had been for my main TV I would have sent it back.
Bought this as our second TV packed in. Had a 4k fire stick on that so thought this tv was 300 and came with fire built in so Id have a stick for kitchen TV. Sould is really good (for a flat screen) and picture is really good too even in 4k. (have no aerial connected so its all online tv stuff). love the remote as the fire TV not having coloured buttons or numbers was a right pain in certain situations. Its slim and looks ok for the price. Definitely a good value second TV. Can see my ring cameras on it too which is great.
Absolutely over the moon with this TV that I bought another one for my dads birthday. The speakers also are really good no need for a soundbar. So happy with this purchase. Well done jvc and amazon. The remote control also is really nea
Well, this TV is definitely well worth the money as it has worked flawlessly so far but it can glitch sometimes when you first switch it on.
Definitely recommend it though as it is well worth the money, but maybe I’ll update this review in 3 months as I am yet to fall in love with the TV as I haven’t had it long enough.
Good Quality TV, easy setup at first time. Screen quality also brilliant with this price. Very light for 55in, can be installed on wall by a person. Like it very much.
Fantastic TV esp for the price of 259.99.
Having firetv in built is genius and what I’ve been waiting for as now I don’t need to buy a separate firestick.
Putting the TV stand on was a bit difficult as the instructions as very basic, but I got there in the end.
Setting up the fire tv and live TV is very quick and easy. It remembers some of my apps that I have on my firestick, so just have to download the apps.
It’s just like having a firestick and you can download apps from unknown sources via the downloader app, so can download all sorts of apk’s.
The remote is slick, thankfully not massive like some remotes of TVs, and this shows it doesn’t have to be so big. It’s slightly bigger than a firestick remote.
It’s great that you don’t have to change the output device to get live TV. It’s just underneath “your apps”.
Live TV is fine for me, maybe a tad slow, but I can live with that.
Alexa is just as fantastic as my firestick Alexa. Word of advise – to get certain radio stations to work via Alexa, you need to download the radio player app and tuneIn app, otherwise won’t work via alexa. You can tell Alexa to tune into TV channels you want to watch and it will goto the channel.
It switches off fine with the power button, but won’t switch on, but if you push the mic button it switches on.
Only had the TV for one day, but so far very impressed. Bought from currys that price matched it to 259.99.
Bought as offers Prime (I am Prime member) & a friend added me to her Netfix ! Bingo. Everything u need. 40 ” big enough for my front room & didn’t want one that completely dominates the room.
