The 65-inch Element Fire TV Edition Television is once again available to order from Amazon. The 65-inch size sold out a couple days after the TVs became available to preorder and has been unavailable to order ever since. The product page currently says the TV will ships within 3 to 5 weeks, but you are now able to place a backorder, which you couldn’t do before. The TV is priced at the regular $899.99, but if you were thinking of also buying an Echo Dot, you can save $30 on the pair by ordering the TV and Echo Dot bundle for $919.99.
Those dismal reviews prevent me from EVER purchasing this lemon. Stop seeing new and shiny as must have purchases people. They clearly need to work out issues with this model.
I got a 55″ during Prime Day and it isn’t bad. Biggest cons are below average black levels and some aliasing in the picture. 4K content looks quite good, and the Fire TV integration, along with OTA/guide, are nicely done. All in all, pretty good, especially for $400 price I paid. For its normal $650 price though, you’re better off with TCL’s 55P605 at Best Buy for $600… significantly better PQ, w/HDR and Dolby Vision. Only Roku integrated, no Fire TV.
