AmazonBasics 108 cm (43 inches) 4K Ultra HD Smart LED Fire TV AB43U20PS (Black)

The media could not be loaded.  Purchased 50inch 4K TV in December 2021 sale. The price has fallen by nearly Rs. 5500 in a year. Writing it after nearly one year use.Firstly, a free advice - Don't listen to so called YouTube experts for this TV who diss this TV about picture quality, refresh rate, brightness. They are idiots, who are expecting features of a Rs.70000+ TV in this. This is more than sufficient for a home entertainment and above average gaming experience. If you were able to buy TV worth Rs.70000+, you wouldn't be reading a review of this TV now. So, I hope you get the gist.Ok, now coming to the TV...1. Picture quality - both normal and 4K - perfect. True resolution. supports up to 60 fps. To check you can search and watch 60fps video from YouTube. I watched Rings of Power, House of Dragon, Avengers Endgame, Inside Out, Frozen, Inception, Doctor Strange - for their bright colors in the movies. Excellent experience. Downloaded and watched 4K Secrets of Dumbledore - again excellent quality. VLC media player works.2. Installation & UI - Easy installation by Amazon technician. TV comes with a wall mount with which you can move TV left / right. For swivel mount, inform the technician but costs Rs.1500 extra. Fire TV OS will update automatically when connected to Wifi first. UI is simple and smooth. (Tip - Alexa in TV also works for other smart appliances connected to the same account. For example, lights on/off, plugs on/off will work via TV Alexa voice control too)3. Sound is a bit disappointing for my liking. At this price, I wasn't expecting much either and it was exactly as I imagined. Just flat with too much treble and absolutely no bass whatsoever. It says 20W but the output is disappointing. JBL Flip4 has 16W output and I feel that's better than the TV output. I purchased JBL SB271 soundbar (220W wireless woofer) recently in Diwali sale for Rs.10800 for better sound output.[The soundbar is excellent. Terrific bass and cinematic experience. Jurassic Park the Dinosaur entry & water glass scene experience was amazing. You'll feel the bass at every step of the dinosaur. HDMI1 acts as HDMI ARC and I have connected the soundbar to the TV via HDMI1. This also enabled all the Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital sound features in the TV. Once connected, fiddle around the sound settings to enable the Dolby settings.The TV also supports CEC - meaning you can power on/off, volume +/- using the Fire TV remote. JBL remote only needed for changing the sound modes. The CEC pairing process is a bit slow and sometimes may not exactly as you want it. But it will work. Be patient and go through all the attempts. If the tv goes to standby, the soundbar also powers off. But when you switch on the TV, soundbar may not switch on. So use jbl remote in such situations. Most times it works smoothly.The sound output if connected through Bluetooth will be a bit lesser obviously as WIRED will always be better than WIRELESS connectivity. Note: The soundbar does not have AUX port.]4. Important tips -(a) The TV supports 5GHZ Wifi. Do not listen to anyone who say it doesn't. What you have to do is, you have to go into the admin settings of your router and change your 5Ghz Wifi channel from "Auto" to "Channel 44" and restart the TV. If you can't change, ask your ISP to do it. Once done, you should be able to connect to 5Ghz Wifi and enjoy high-speed internet. This is a global feature applicable for Firestick as well.(b) The TV supports up to 2TB external hard disk only. Anything above, it will not read.(c) You can connect keyboard and game controllers via bluetooth to play games but I wouldn't recommend it if you are an avid gamer. The in-built games are more for kids and not for adults.(d) Buy a silicon remote cover for the TV's remote as the remote is light and also relatively flimsy. So chances are that if you drop a couple of times it could break.(e) Low priced TWS earbuds or bluetooth headphones will not be suitable for bluetooth audio output from TV as there will be a lag. Need to have something with low latency to have a seamless experience.(f) Screen mirroring works perfectly - Switch on Screen mirroring in your phone and then on your TV. Connect and voila. (Both TV and phone should be on the same wifi network.)I deducted ONE STAR because of the sound, but as explained above it is fixable with a soundbar worth Rs.10000 to Rs.12000. My recommendation after usage - JBL SB271.

Hello all,I got lured into buying this product because of its great price but I ended up getting a damaged product which the company is not willing to replace. PLEASE READ A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF WHAT I WENT THROUGH.11th August 2021- My home was being renovated and was nearing completion which is why I decided to buy a TV. I chose to buy this product because of its great price and built in Fire TV. I was expecting to get my room ready on the 23rd of August hence I scheduled a setup for the same. I still needed the TV early to help with the sizing of the TV unit so I went ahead and ordered it early.13th August 2021- The TV arrives and is kept packed.23rd August 2021 Afternoon- My renovation is not complete and the TV is still packed away in the box. The service person arrives in the afternoon for the setup. In order to not send him back without any work, I unboxed the TV and had him set up the stands so he doesn't have to come again. It was also time to take the measurements and I thought would've been easier to measure the TV if it was on the stand. The service person asks me to turn the tv on and sign in to allow him to complete the service request. I set up my account and played a tv show to test. Because it was in the afternoon, I didnt see the white patch on the TV as it wasn't as prominent with brightness. I did not take the tape out of the corners of the TV as the renovation was still pending and I didn't want fingerprints on the sides.23rd August 2021 Evening- I noticed some lines on the right side of the TV as a patch became prominent in the evening (Picture #2: This picture is of the first day) but I thought it was because of the tapes and decided to ignore it and get back to it when the TV was set up. I packed the TV safely and kept it in another room till the renovation was complete.14th September 2021- Due to some delays the renovation took time and finally got completed on 14th of September. I finally unboxed the TV again and took the tape out to have it hung on the wall. After hanging it I noticed the white patches still prevalent and prominent (Picture #1). I setup a service request with Amazon.15th September 2021- I get a call from the service team confirming the appointment and asking for the invoice. I sent it to them. The service person shortly arrives and immediately sees the patch. Without me explaining the issue, he already said that this panel issue was quite prominent with these Amazon Basic TVs and it usually gets very easily replaced in these situations. He said that he just needed to click photos and videos for the report and then Amazon will get back to me on the replacement. I was glad that he was confident about the situation. He recorded the pictures and videos asked me to WhatsApp it to them and he left.17th September 2021- I called him to get an updated and he didn't pick up. Then I called the service center number from which I got a call on the 15th. The person said he had sent the report to amazon and marked the issues clearly. He said that I should've gotten a verification call for the report and to discuss the "replacement process" I said I didn't get a verification call. He said I will get back to me. He called me back saying he cannot replace the product and that it will get repaired. MY BRAND NEW TV ALREADY had to be repaired. I got furious stating that I received a damaged product then it should be replaced and not repaired. If I paid for a new TV I should get a new one, if I would've wanted a repaired one I could've bought a refurbished TV. He said he will check again and get back to me. He called back after a while and said that they're policy does not replace TV's after 15 days of purchase. I again got furious as I had pictures of the patch prominent right from Day 1 and I can verify the dates of the images I hung up on him as he said he cant do anything. After that I called Amazon 3 times. Each call was between 45 mins to an hour long. On each call they would would just put me on hold for 30 mins and then hung up. After all of this I am left with a damaged TV for which I paid 29,000 Rupees.I dont usually write such big amazon reviews but 29,000 Rupees is a huge amount and if this review saves even one from wasting that money, then I would feel my time typing this was worth it. Buy something you can truly rely on. ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU WANT A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WITH 0 CUSTOMER SERVICE.Stay safe, happy shopping!
