6.7 Mixed Usage
The Amazon Fire TV is okay overall. It's best suited for a dark room, as it can't overcome a lot of glare. It's great for watching movies thanks to its high contrast ratio. It's just passable for watching TV shows, with a great selection of streaming apps so you can easily find your favorite shows. It's not very good for watching sports or playing video games, though, as it has a slow response time, and HDR adds very little, as it's not bright enough for small highlights to stand out, and it can't display a wide color gamut.
Pros
Great selection of streaming apps.
Decent reflection handling.
Cons
Image degrades at an angle.
Slow response time.
Not bright enough to overcome glare.
Terrible accuracy.

BTW after you spend 5 mins calibrating it:
Post Calibration: 9.5
So this is a GREAT TV for $255 IMHO!
