The TV market is like the wild, wild west, but that doesn’t mean you should wait until Black Friday sales tell you which one to get. Summer 2019 deserves movie streaming on a real TV — not a laptop.
Instead of giving up size for price (or vice versa), Insignia makes it easy: This line of 4K TVs has Fire TV built in and is already hella affordable, but the 55-inch model is on sale for just $299.99.
(Not to be dramatic, but when have you ever seen a 55-inch TV for under $300 — let alone with Fire TV built in?)
You’re gonna need a good screen for the new season of Game of Thrones: This one uses over eight million pixels for true-to-life 4K Ultra HD picture quality and deep contrast, even on those hard-to-see dark scenes. Subscriptions to Netflix, Hulu, HBO, and Prime Video (free with a Prime membership) get you access to over 500,000 streaming titles, and the Fire TV edition works seamlessly with an HD antenna to get you live broadcast content from channels like ABC, CBS, and FOX.
Just like a Fire TV Stick, the included remote works with Alexa voice commands to pick shows, search titles, control volume, and more.
Regularly $430, you can save $130.01 and get it for $299.99.
