If you're in the market for a TV at a low price with a high wow factor, look no further than the Insignia 24-inch Class F20 Series Smart HD Fire TV, available this weekend for an amazing $100 (down from $170)! This set delivers a crisp picture, vivid colors and top-notch audio, and — cord cutters, rejoice! — this particular model is a Fire TV edition, which means it lets you stream 4K movies and TV shows from Netflix, Hulu, HBO, YouTube, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, SlingTV and more without a separate streaming box or stick. No wonder over 18,000 customers have bestowed a five-star rating on this it.

“I am honestly very pleasantly surprised with how much I like this TV,” shared one connoisseur. “As far as clarity goes, I believe (HD) 720p is plenty for this screen size. I’m a bit of a TV snob, and the lower clarity is not noticeable in this size.”
