With all the bigger-is-better hype in the home-theater discourse nowadays, it's easy to miss that we're living in a golden age of modestly sized TVs ... with, in these cases, some very modest price tags. (Amazon)
Ready to turn your bedroom, man cave or she shed into a cozy binge-watching haven? Don't sleep on this 24-inch Insignia Smart HD 720p Fire TV. This super-popular model is now a paltry $60, down from an already affordable $80. It is just the right size for a smaller space and so slim that it’ll fit seamlessly into any setting — and at this price, you owe it to yourself to grab (at least) one. Need something a tad bigger? Don't worry: You can pick up a 32-inch model for just $74.
Speaking of not sleeping: October Prime Day may be behind us, but you'll be happy to know that there are thousands of extended PD deals still going strong. Have a gander at some of our faves here.
All-time low price alert! Never lose your luggage, purse, car — anything, really — again. Just toss one of these smart tags inside the item you want to track and you'll be alerted of its whereabouts via your phone.
The deal on this four-pack brings each tag just over $17 a pop. Grab a few for your, er, forgetful family members — in my case that was me (Chris)!
Need a basic "small" TV for the kitchen, kids room or guest room? This 32-incher gets the job done for under $100, and the built-in Fire TV operating system means it can stream nearly any app under the sun — just provide the Wi-Fi and relevant subscriptions.
As a Fire TV Edition, this model lets you stream movies and shows from Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, Max, YouTube, Disney+, Paramount+, Peacock and more without buying a separate device.
Mount it in the kitchen, stick it in the garage or set it on the guest-room dresser— maybe all three. At this price, why not?
This TV already has a ton of features going for it, but it also supports AirPlay. That means If you're an iPhone, iPad or Mac user, you can stream content straight from your device to the TV.
"My wife and I LOVE this TV! It has excellent sound with really surprising bass compared to our old Dynex model, it is very easy to use right out of the box, and it recognizes our Logitech K400+ keyboard plugged into the USB port," one fan raved.
Remember when TVs were several hundred dollars at minimum, even for low-end models? So do we. Aside from the fact that this is a TV for $60 — an already phenomenal deal — it's also the lowest price on record for this model. And get this: Over 10,000 of these have flown off the virtual shelf in the past month alone.
The Insignia 24-inch Smart HD Fire TV is also ideal for cord-cutters, since it turns over-the-air TV into a cable-like experience.
Alexa is included in the remote, so instead of endlessly scrolling through a grid or hunting and pecking on a virtual keyboard to find your show, you can just say, “Alexa, play Ted Lasso,” and she’ll make your wish come true. Compare this to other built-in video streaming TVs that come with Roku inside but lack voice assistant features out of the box.
The TV features vivid colors and exceptional picture quality, which are rare at this price point. It also has three HDMI ports, so you can hook up a soundbar, a gaming console, a Blu-Ray player or another add-on.
This Insignia 24-inch Smart HD 1080p Fire TV isn’t just the perfect bedroom TV. It would work well in a guest room or even as the hub of the house.
Nearly 18,000 shoppers have bestowed five-star ratings on this set.
One fan said: "My last TV was an Onn Roku TV, so to say this one is an upgrade would be an understatement. (You don't even want to know how muddy the quality was on my last TV.) The picture is really beautiful. Sharp and clear. Sound is great too."
"I was skeptical based on the price, but I did a little research and it appeared to have everything I wanted," reported this conscientious customer. "I got it mounted and tried it out today, and I'm definitely impressed. The picture quality is very good, and the sound is good as well. It connected with my Bluetooth earbuds easily and stays synced."
"I have been using Fire TV sticks for years, but this is my first built-in Fire TV," shared another rave reviewer. "I don’t think I will go back to using the separate device. I love the voice function that can pretty much do anything on the TV. Especially the sleep timer."
A few customers voiced some improvements that would make this TV better.
"My only negative is that I wish it were voice-responsive without the remote," one of them said.
Another wrote: "There is one thing I wish this TV, and all TVs, had was a sleep timer button on the remote. Instead, you have to go through a menu to get to it. But aside from that it, is hard to beat the value of this TV."
