When it comes to budget TVs, the Insignia 32-inch Series Smart HD Fire TV is making headlines during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, which went live this morning. With more than 10,000 units sold in the last month and a price that’s unbelievable, this TV is now the #1 best-seller in LED and LCD TVs on Amazon. At just $74—less than its $129 price tag—it’s a bargain if you’re looking to boost your home theater system.
What sets this TV apart? For one thing, it boasts a 32-inch HD screen, so it’s perfectly suited for the smaller rooms such as the bedroom, the kitchen or the dorm. Sure, it doesn’t support 4K resolution but its LED-lit screen makes for sharp imagery and rich color perfect for routine viewing. Watching your favorite Netflix/Disney+ show in marathon fashion or catching some live sports while they’re broadcast, this television offers a dependable viewing experience at a reasonable price point.
Built-In Fire TV Capability
One of the features of the Insignia F20 Series is that it has built-in Fire TV capability. That is, you have over one million streaming movies and TV shows from major platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Prime Video and more without the need for an extra streaming device. The Fire TV GUI is quite intuitive and easy to use so you can browse apps and content with simplicity. With Alexa voice command integrated directly into the remote, it is also simpler than ever to find programming or switch inputs. Press and hold down on the voice button and allow Alexa to take care of it.
This budget TV boasts not three, not four, but five inputs including three HDMI inputs (one with ARC), a USB, a composite video input, digital optical audio out, and even a headphone jack. From connecting a soundbar for improved audio to hooking up your gaming system, the Insignia F20 Series has a lot of flexibility.
Despite its budget-friendly price point, this TV doesn’t skimp on smart features. It supports Apple AirPlay, allowing users to share videos, photos, music, and more directly from their Apple devices. Additionally, it offers screen mirroring capabilities for Android devices—a handy feature for sharing content with friends or family.
Even though it’s not meant to be a high-end gaming or cinema TV with its 720p resolution and lack of HDR, the Insignia F20 Series is an excellent every-day TV. Its 60Hz refresh rate ensures silky-smooth playback for all but the most demanding materials and its super slim profile means it has no problem fitting into almost any room.
Let’s talk about value: At $74 during the Big Spring Sale, this TV is nearly half its original price—and matches its Black Friday price last year. For perspective, most high-end TVs with similar smart features cost several hundred dollars more. Even lower-end models from other companies struggle to offer this type of functionality at this price.
