Test Results

Pattern

Curved No

The pattern of the Insignia Fire Telly Edition is decent. Information technology is made of plastic and metal just it does non have a premium look. The stand up supports the TV well but there will exist some wobbling if you accidentally nudge information technology. In that location are no issues with the build quality and although the bottom border can become warm, you will accept no problem with it.

The stand of the Insignia Fire TV Edition is plastic. It provides good support to the TV, although it won't prevent a slight back and forth wobble if the Television is pushed gently. At the same time, it does not go out a big infinite betwixt the table and the lower edge of the Tv set. This might exist an outcome if you wish to place a soundbar in front of the Tv.

Footprint of the 55" model: 43.0" ten 10.4"

Wall Mount VESA 200x200

The back of the TV is metallic and looks very plain. There is non much provision for cable management.

Borders 0.63" (1.6 cm)

The borders are plastic and relatively thick. The bezel that surrounds the screen is as well thick.

Max Thickness 3.27" (viii.3 cm)

The Insignia Fire TV looks thick from the side. It's but a little thinner than the Toshiba Fire TV Edition 2018.

The built quality is decent. The Television is a mixture of plastic and metallic and does not wait premium. Even so, there are no gaps or loose ends and you lot should have no issues with it.

Picture Quality

Native Contrast 4,660 : 1

Excellent native contrast for the Insignia Fire TV Edition. Blacks are deep in a nighttime room, and this is important in picture quality.

SDR ABL 0.000

Expert SDR peak effulgence for the Insignia Fire Television. Information technology can get brilliant enough for an average lit room, but it can not overcome the glare of a brilliant room. The measured brightness remains very constant regardless of the illuminated expanse of the screen and this is great. The SDR brightness is slightly worse than the Toshiba Burn TV.

The menu item that controls the luminance of the backlight is called backlight.

Mediocre operation on our HDR peak brightness test. The Insignia Fire TV cannot become bright enough to deliver the brightness levels HDR is mastered for. The constant level of effulgence across all window sizes is good but does not really help HDR operation in this case.

The Insignia Burn TV has decent greyness uniformity. Faint clouding is visible all over the screen, and the edges look slightly darker. Y'all should look some dirty screen effect when you watch sports on this TV. In darker images clouding is less visible, but still present.

The Insignia Fire Telly Edition has bad viewing angles. Just off the centre axis and blacks start to intensify quickly. At slightly college angles colors shift, and at about 25 degrees the picture has lost half of its effulgence. Y'all should avoid watching this Insignia TV from the side as the picture quality deteriorates quickly.

The black uniformity is decent. You can spot some backlight bleed at both sides of the screen and around the test cantankerous. It is less noticeable during normal use.

Screen Finish Semi-gloss

Full Reflections 6.7%

Indirect Reflections 0.9%

Calculated Direct Reflections 5.viii%

The Insignia Fire TV Edition has decent treatment of reflections. It has a semi-gloss cease that diffuses glare across the screen and diminishes its intensity. You should be fine for an boilerplate lit room, but for a room with lots of low-cal it will exist bothersome.

The out of the box color accuracy of this Boob tube is bad. The 'Movie' most authentic motion-picture show mode. The white rest dE and the color dE are very high and this means that most people will notice the color inaccuracies. Gamma is low at 1.93 and it does not follow the target at all, and thus shades look brighter. The color temperature is a little warm, this explains the crimson-yellowish tint.

The postal service-calibration accurateness of the Insignia Burn down Idiot box Edition is decent. Calibration was performed at the 'Custom' picture mode.

Unfortunately, the TV has a very express number of calibration features as you can see here. These are not enough for a proper calibration and cannot assist improve significantly the color accuracy.

The white residuum dE is lowered below the threshold of 3 and so most people volition non notice any gray inaccuracies, but information technology is however at a level where most enthusiasts volition. Unfortunately, the same is not true for color dE, where the value is well above iii and most people will even so spot color inaccuracies. Gamma is brought shut to the target of 2.ii, but unfortunately, it does not follow the curve. At lower luminosities, the shades are brighter and as we move to higher luminosities the shadows are crushed. Finally, the color temperature is slightly colder than the 6500 G target.

You tin see our recommended settings hither.

Upscaling of low-quality content such as DVDs is good.

There are no issues when upscaling 720p content.

Full-HD content such equally 1080p cablevision, streaming, and Blu-rays looks adept upscaled. The image is articulate and detailed.

When the TV is displaying 4k images, you lot can see from upward close, some sub-pixel dimming. Sometimes this tin create artifacts and it may exist a type of spatial dithering. It results in a checkerboard effect like to the TCL five Serial S517. You can run across this outcome up close in our pixels photo here.

When you await at this TV from a close altitude, you will detect some sub-pixel dimming artifacts. This is like to the Toshiba Fire Boob tube and the TCL five series S517.

Rec 2020 uv 62.67%

The color gamut of the Insignia Fire Boob tube Edition is decent.

The color accurateness at our normal 75% stimulus brightness is bad, probable because the Television is prioritizing brightness over color accurateness; however at 50% stimulus brightness, the accuracy of P3 and Rec 2020 colors are vastly improved. This means that nigh HDR colors will take passable color accurateness, merely very vivid colors will exist done out.

In the Custom picture mode, the TV'south EOTF follows the target PQ curve adequately closely, with some over-brightening in dim shades. If you find HDR content also nighttime, you lot can gear up the Mid Luminance Gamma setting to -5, which raises the EOTF and brightens most of the scene.

The EOTFs in the Game way follows the target PQ bend slightly closer, than the Custom, whereas the PC picture mode is almost identical to that of 'Custom'.

The color volume coverage is mediocre. The express color gamut on this Insignia Fire TV Edition does not permit it to display saturated colors. This is very like to the Toshiba Fire TV 2018.

The TV has a mediocre gradient. Unfortunately, it is the everyman score we've measured so far. Our image does not conspicuously capture the stepping in colour shades that create the banding as yous browse it from the lighter shades to the darker ones. This is partly because of the clipping that occurs in both the brilliant side and the nighttime side. This means that in real content, when the Boob tube displays the prototype of a sky or images that contain skin tones, there are areas of noticeable banding. This, however, is more important in HDR than SDR.

We don't expect VA panels to feel permanent prototype retention, as the VA panel in our long-term test appears immune.

Motion

80% Response Time vii.vii ms

100% Response Time 20.8 ms

The response time of the Insignia Fire Idiot box is good. You will, however, spot some move blur on fast moving objects on the screen.

Flicker-Free No

PWM Dimming Frequency 240 Hz

The Insignia Fire Boob tube Edition is not flicker-free. Information technology uses PWM dimming to lower the backlight. The flicker occurs at 240Hz which might be bothersome to some people.

The Insignia Burn down TV does not have a BFI option.

Motion Interpolation (30 fps) Aye

Motility Interpolation (60 fps) No

The Fire Television is capable of interpolating content from 30fps upwards to its native refresh rate of 60fps.

Set the Motion Processing to 'Enhanced' if y'all wish to enable motion interpolation. If yous discover that there are too many artifacts, then you can set it to 'Smoothen' or 'Standard'.

Frame Hold Time @ 24 fps 20.9 ms

Frame Hold Time @ 60 fps 0.0 ms

The response fourth dimension of this Boob tube allows for some motion blur that smooths motion and it is not likely that you volition notice whatsoever stutter, even in older, low fps content.

Judder-Free 24p No

Judder-Gratuitous 24p via 60p No

Judder-Free 24p via 60i No

Judder-Free 24p via Native Apps No

The Insignia Burn down Television set Edition does not remove 24p judder automatically, nor does it have whatever characteristic that allows you to do so. Then when displaying 24fps content the Television set will ever have judder. You lot tin endeavor to remove it by enabling motion interpolation, simply this makes movement look smoother than normal and can add artifacts.

The Insignia Fire Goggle box Edition has a low input lag in Game way and while it is not interpolating. Some people, however, might still observe it high, so it is not a recommended Telly for game enthusiasts. When you lot utilize it as a PC monitor, y'all might find some lag, especially while you move the mouse effectually.

During testing nosotros noticed that although the input lag is stable, it varied slightly when we retook a measurement. The variation was about 8 ms and the value reported is the average.

1080p @ 60 Hz @ 4:4:4 Yes

4k @ 120 Hz No

8k @ 30 Hz or 24 Hz No

8k @ 60 Hz No

The Insignia Fire Television Edition does not back up some common resolutions. Also, there are some resolution restrictions, and some special weather condition that must be satisfied for the Tv set to properly display certain resolutions.

To properly display 4:iv:4 chroma you must exist in PC fashion and you must gear up the bespeak output to RGB, every bit otherwise, the Tv might not find it and might not display RGB properly.

4k @ 30Hz tin can't accept proper 4:four:4 chroma even when in PC manner.

The TV does not laissez passer the 1440p test, as the image that is displayed when sent such a signal does not have the correct wrapping (part of the screen's right side appears on the left side).

Dynamic Range Compression 4.86 dB

The frequency response performance is sub-par. The LFE (low-frequency extension) of 135Hz indicates a bass that lacks thump and rumble and doesn't take much body to information technology either. The response above the LFE point is rather uneven and lacks a bit of detail and brightness. Also, this Television receiver doesn't become very loud and tends to produce pinch and pumping artifacts nearly its maximum volume.

Weighted THD @ eighty 0.062

Weighted THD @ Max 0.231

The distortion performance is above-average. The overall amount of THD produced at 80dB SPL is low, and at that place is non a big jump in THD at Max SPL either. Still, this Television set doesn't get very loud. Also, there are a couple of spikes between 1KHz and 2KHz which could make the sound of those region a scrap harsh and impure.
