Is it time to buy a new television already? On the bright side, a large panel TV with outstanding picture quality is more affordable than ever, provided you know what you want and where to look.
If you just need to watch your favorite movies and shows, Amazon is selling a $350, 55-inch Insignia 4K smart TV for only $190 right now — a total savings of $160.
Insignia F50 Series 55-Inch 4K Fire TV, $190 (was $350) at Amazon
This 55-inch Fire TV from Insignia offers 4K ultra-high-definition resolution, HDR10 color and contrast, and the Amazon Fire smart platform. If you want crisp picture quality, deep blacks, and vivid color reproduction, you'll be pleased with the incredible value here. And it has a refresh rate of 60 Hz, so you'll be able to enjoy all your favorite video games at up to 60 frames per second, which is more than adequate for any game that isn't a fast-paced shooter like Call of Duty or Halo.
The Insignia F50 Series also supports DTS Virtual-X three-dimensional sound, HDMI eARC input, optical output, old-school AV jacks, USB, a 3.5-millimeter headphone output, coaxial cable, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and parental controls. Watch all your personal media any way you want, stream your favorite shows and movies via Fire TV's built-in streaming apps (Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, Pluto TV, Tubi, HBO Max, Prime Video), and enjoy the full 4K UHD glory of your physical media collection. If you want to mount the TV on your wall, it's equipped with a 200-by-200 VESA pattern.
“I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase,” wrote one reviewer. “I used to have a 40-inch Samsung in my bedroom, and upgrading to a 55-inch has been way better for my eyes. Now, I don't need my glasses to watch TV while relaxing in bed. If you need a new TV for a good price, run and grab this one. The remote control might take some getting used to, but I just log into my subscriptions within the various apps and navigate from there.”
If you're ready to pull the trigger on a budget-friendly 4K smart TV with quick, easy access to all your favorite apps, save $190 on a new Insignia F50 Series 55-Inch 4K Fire TV at Amazon.
