You don’t need a giant TV in every room of your home. They don’t all need to be some fancy OLED. Maybe one of those in the living room or den where you entertain guests, have movie nights, or play games. Your bedroom though does not need a multi-thousand dollar display. Neither does your kitchen or garage. If you just need a TV that works and aren’t trying to watch Dune Part 2 on it, expecting the theatrical experience of being in the cinemas from your home, then don’t overspend. This smart TV from Insignia is down 43%, bringing it to just $74.
A Solid TV With a Double-Digit Price Tage
This TV has its job and that is to be able to pull up movies, TV shows, and YouTube videos so you can view them in HD. This is the TV for second-screen activities. This is the TV for people who scroll through Instagram while watching reruns of The Office. This is the TV for folks who need background sound to fall asleep to. Parents, this is the ideal dorm room TV. Don’t shell out hundreds of dollars on something your college kid might just knock over anyway.
As a smart TV, it has Amazon Fire TV built right into it. Stream your choice of millions of movies and TV show episodes and access tons of different apps like Hulu, Netflix, Max, and Disney+.
Being an Amazon Fire TV, that means remote supports voice controls with Alexa. This is an absolute godsend when trying to find something to watch. Alexa makes it so simple to find the movie or TV show you’re looking for. What I really love is the Fire TV logs which streaming apps have the movie or show you just searched for available, so you don’t have to feverishly search through all your services to find what you want to watch. Just hold down the button and say Death Becomes Her. Next thing you know, you’re watching with Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn fighting over Bruce Willis through a comedy of error beyond the grave.
Apple AirPlay is also supported, so you can share your videos, pictures and more easily to your TV with the touch of a button. Or do what I mostly use it for which is finding a YouTube video on your phone to cast to the TV while eating lunch. Additionally, it uses HDMI ARC so you can set yourself up with a soundbar and get that enhanced audio experience.
