We live in some wild times, folks. Pricing on things like eggs and other staples are going through roof, and let's not even get started with the situation on current-generation graphics cards. However, if it's a new big (or semi-big) television you're after, pricing has never been better. Go figure! To wit, we recently highlighted a 65-inch OLED TV that dipped below $1,000 (
among other OLED deals), and now we're calling attention to a sub-$200 (by a penny) 4K Fire TV.
Yes, you can get a 4K resolution TV at that price. It's the
55-inch Insignia F30 that's on sale for
$199.99 at Best Buy (save $150), but only for today. That's because it's Best Buy's deal of the day, which it refreshes ever 24 hours. That said, we found Best Buy hawking it for
$209.99 at Amazon as a marketplace seller, though a look at F30's price history on Amazon shows it's prone to frequent price spikes.
Naturally, the F30 isn't going to rival any of the OLED models we called attention to earlier this week. It's an entry-level LCD model that Insignia added to its product line in 2022. So yeah, this is not a premium model that will go toe-to-toe with higher end offerings on the market. But for $199.99, it's suitable as a budget TV, perhaps for the guest room, home office, for the kid's room.
What caught our attention is the 4K resolution. Oftentimes we see 1080p and even 720p in the $100 to $200 price range, so getting a 4K TV at this price point is a win. We also like that it's an Amazon Fire TV to handle smart chores. It also comes with an Alexa Voice Remote.
If you want to go bigger than 55 inches and have a little flexibility with your budget, then check out this
65-inch Insigna F50 QLED TV that's on sale for
$289.99 at Best Buy (save $160) or
$299.99 at Amazon (save $150). This doesn't appear to be a one-day deal, so you may have some additional time to ponder a purchase.
To be clear, it's not like we have a love affair with Insignia or anything. However, this sale price makes it the least expensive 65-inch TV we could find right now. And while it's also an entry-level model from 2022, in addition to being bigger than the 55-inch F30 above, it steps up to quantum dot LED (QLED) technology to deliver a superior image. It's also brighter than the F30, if that matters.
Here are some more lower-priced TV options, all for under $500 (including a mini LED model)...
