The Amazon Fire TV 4-Series is a very basic, entry-level 4k TV. Along with the Fire TV Omni, it's one of the first Amazon-branded TVs. It's best-suited for a dark room, as the VA panel delivers deep blacks but can't get bright enough to overcome glare in a bright room. It has fantastic low input lag for gaming, but it doesn't support any advanced gaming features. The Fire TV smart interface is easy to use, and it has a great selection of additional apps, so you're sure to find your favorite streaming service. Unfortunately, it's not a very good TV overall, with poor viewing angles, mediocre gradient handling, and a slow response time. It has terrible accuracy out-of-the-box, and it doesn't support any calibration at all, so there's no way to correct the issues.
