Not every TV in your home needs to be state-of-the-art. We love a good 80+ inch TV in the living room where you entertain guests, have movie nights, or play games. But your bedroom may not need a $3,000 display, and neither does your garage or kitchen. If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to watch something in a 32 inch space, we’ll we have good news. This smart TV from Insignia is down 42%, bringing it just under $100.
What More Can You Ask for When Spending Under $100 on a TV?
Look. This isn’t a TV meant for viewing the Avatar sequel and getting the cinematic, theatrical experience right from your couch. This TV has it’s job and that is to be able to pull up movies, TV shows, and YouTube videos so you can view them in 1080p. This is the TV for second-screen activities. This is the TV for people who scroll through Instagram while watching reruns of Friends. This is the TV for folks who need background sound to fall asleep to.
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+.
While the on-board sound is decent, the Insignia Fire TV supports HDMI Arc for anyone out there hoping to connect to a soundbar or AV receiver. I will continue to be one of the few dozens of us shouting from the rooftops that audio quality is more important than picture quality. Find yourself an inexpensive soundbar and you’ve got yourself a perfectly serviceable home entertainment center.
Being an Amazon Fire TV, one would expect the remote to support voice controls with Alexa. Well, one would be absolutely correct! 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 Twins. Next thing you know, you’re hanging out with Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger on your television screen for 107 minutes.
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.
Right now, you can grab this Insignia 32″ Fire TV for just $98. That’s a 42% discount from it’s usual price of $170.
