The Toshiba 50-inch C350 Series 4K Fire TV is a no-frills 4K smart television with the Amazon Fire TV operating system pre-installed, so you don’t need to buy a separate streaming device. Major streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video will be displayed directly on the Home Screen, and using the voice remote with Alexa functionality lets you easily find movies, switch input sources, and control your smart home devices from your television without opening an app on your mobile device.
The perfect TV centerpiece for any living room
The C350 uses Toshiba’s REGZA Engine ZR to upscale 4K UHD content at 3840 x 2160. This allows it to pull about 4 times as much detail from video as a 1080p display would. A built-in AI 4K upscaler tries to do the same thing with lower-resolution HD content. If your old 1080p HDTV has been giving you trouble lately, you’ll likely notice a noticeable increase in picture clarity when watching Blu-ray discs or streaming services on this new set.
HDR support comes via Dolby Vision and HDR10, which together cover most modern HDR content available on streaming services. Dolby Vision adjusts brightness and color scene by scene rather than across the whole movie, which gives darker scenes more depth and brighter scenes more punch.
Gamers get a few useful features at this price. Auto Low Latency Mode kicks in when the TV detects a console signal, dropping input lag so controller commands hit the screen faster. Variable Refresh Rate is also supported, which helps smooth out tearing and stuttering during games on a PS5, Xbox Series X, or modern PC. It’s not a flagship gaming TV, but it covers the basics that matter in fast-moving games.
Fire TV is the other half of the appeal. Everything on your Prime Video watchlist, every channel you subscribe to, and every free ad-supported app like Tubi or Pluto TV all sit on the same home screen. Alexa voice search works across most apps at once. So, you can ask for a specific movie title, and the TV pulls up every service that has it.
The Toshiba 50-inch C350 Series 4K Fire TV is on sale for $190 instead of the usual $350. For anyone replacing an old TV or setting up a guest room, second living room, or basement setup, getting a 50-inch 4K Fire TV at this price is hard to argue with.
