Our Verdict
Samsung MU6300
Element Amazon Fire TV
The Samsung MU6300 is much better than the Element Fire TV. The MU6300 delivers better picture quality and can take advantage of most of the recent HDR formats. The MU6300 has much lower input lag, great for gaming, and can reduce the backlight flicker frequency to improve motion clarity. The Element Fire TV has a faster response time, so motion is a bit smoother and has less blur.
