Best Buy is knocking $70 off this 50-inch 4K TV
Insignia F30 TV on a TV stand in a living room.

If you're on a tighter budget and want to grab yourself a nice big TV, then you'll be happy to know that Best Buy is running a special deal on its Insignia TVs that will let you grab a 50-inch one for pretty cheap. While you could go for some of the best TVs on the market, they often cost thousands of dollars and will likely have features you aren't likely to use. On the other hand, this 50-inch Insignia TV deal is going to cost you only $230 at Best Buy instead of the usual $300, so you get yourself a rather massive 4K TV for a very solid price.

Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series 4K TV
While this 50-inch Insignia F30 Series may be on the more budget-oriented side, that doesn't mean it's missing some important features, such as HDR10, which provides you with a lot better contrast than a traditional TV. You also get the higher 60Hz refresh rate, where you'd usually find 50Hz on more budget-friendly options, and it does mean that it's perfect for gaming on a PS5 or Xbox Series X or Series S since most games on those consoles tend to be locked at 4K at 60Hz anyway.
