If you’re looking for an affordable 50-inch TV, this Best Buy deal is for you

Good Deal Insignia F30 TV on a TV stand in a living room.
Best Buy

Bells and whistles may be fun to use every once in a while, but sometimes you just need a TV that turns on and streams Netflix. Fortunately, pretty much every TV is a smart TV these days, and if you’re trying to save money on a new set, allow us to point you toward this fantastic offer from our pals at Best Buy: 

Right now, when you purchase the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series 4K LED at Best Buy or Amazon, you’ll only pay $210. The full MSRP on this model is $300. 

Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series

Partnering with Amazon for apps and games, all modern Insignia TVs use Fire TV OS for apps, wireless casting, and smart home controls. The F30 Series even comes with an Alexa-powered remote, so you’ll be able to use the assistant to search for movies and shows, open and close apps, change inputs, control smart home gear, and more. And should you want to bypass Wi-Fi in favor of a hardwired connection, the Insignia F30 comes with an Ethernet port, too. 

As for picture and sound quality, you’re in good hands with this LED TV. Do keep in mind that Insignia is a Best Buy house brand known for budget-friendly pricing and features. So, while you shouldn’t expect TV perfection, what you can expect is a bright and colorful picture with decent contrast levels and limited HDR support. Sound-wise, the TV isn’t half bad, but you may find you’d like to pair it with a soundbar at some point. 

The F30 Series has a native 60Hz refresh rate and no VRR or ALLM support, but you can manually switch to the Game picture preset for reduced input lag.

Score the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series 4K LED while it’s $90 off because we’re not sure when or if there will be another markdown. And if you’re looking for more budget-friendly TV options, consider looking through our lists of the best TV deals, best Amazon deals, and top Best Buy deals, too.

This 85-inch 8K TV from Samsung has a $2,700 discount
The Samsung QN900C Neo QLED 8K TV in a living room.

One of the best ways to own a future-proof TV is to invest in 8K technology. Sure, 4K TVs are just settling into the mainstream, but hear us out: Going with an 8K set will get you 8K upscaling, which means every 4K movie, show, or video game will look better on an 8K screen than it does on a 4K panel. And one of the best TV brands for 8K resolution is none other than Samsung. We see a lot of Samsung TV deals in our line of work, but this one takes home the gold:

Right now, when you order the Samsung 85-inch QN900C through the manufacturer, you’ll save $2,700. At full price, this monolithic 8K TV costs $5,300.

Kanto’s Ora4 desktop speakers drive more bass, more power
Kanto Ora4 Reference Speakers.

Canadian audio company Kanto has a new option if you're looking for powered desktop or bookshelf speakers with better bass response. Its Ora4 Reference Speakers are similar to its Kanto Ora model -- which we consider to be some of the best desktop speakers you can buy --  but with larger woofers and more power. They're available starting November 1 for $400 in either matte white or matte black, from Amazon and several other retailers.

The Ora4 are only slightly larger than the Ora (4.7 x 6.7 x 8.3 inches versus 3.9 x 5.6 x 6.9 inches) but they weigh nearly twice as much (4.3 pounds versus 2.1), which should give you an indication that there's a lot more going on inside.
