INSIGNIA 43" Class F50 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV, Voice Remote with Alexa, Stream Live TV Without Cable

Loving this TV so far. Here's what I like: - Wow. I'm impressed with the price for a TV of this size. - Same day pick up was available from Best Buy. So easy! - Very lightweight. I set it up myself in 30 minutes. - Coming from a Fire Stick means that set up was instant. All of my apps and logins transferred. - Great picture quality, rich color, and thin bezels. - Recognized my Bose soundbar instantly. - Scanned local channels over the antenna and found 50. Very good. - The Fire TV remote control gives you Alexa voice control if you want it. - The Fire user interface is mostly good once you get used to it. - I'm having no issues so far. I'll revisit this review if anything changes.

Listen, this is an 85” TV for $600. It’s not a million dollar movie screen. The people complaining about quality are the same people that complain about the amount of a free handout. This is a smart TV for $600 that will more than cover your wall. Good, fully functional remote. The speakers on this are your typical/junk TV speakers. I hooked up a 1/8->RCA line and have great sound. Go ahead and spend $5k for OLED, but you aren’t getting 85”. This is a solid budget TV. It doesn’t look cheap or pixelated. We use it mainly for sports, and the picture is good. Make sure you have a strong wifi connection for this, though. We had placed this quite far from the router, and we had some picture issues. But that was operator error, not the fault of the TV. It was 20 years ago that a 40” plasma was $2k. These continue to get cheaper. Btw, the packaging for this is strong. I had strapped this in the back of my pickup. On the way home, one of the straps broke, and the TV fell over on the side of the pickup bed. While unboxing, I half expected to have a shattered screen. No sir. This came out of the box completely fine. Buy this with confidence. Hope this was helpful!

Quality of picture screen is incredible. Details of everything; clarity of color and line; brightness can be controlled to give you several options - color can be as dynamic as you'd like. We bought this during Black Friday; so the price was absolutely right. The reputation of Samsung is solid; and we hope this will prove to be true with this as well. We do not use the sound from the television itself; so I cannot speak to this - we have a sound bar. We don't notice any sort of distortion when viewing the screen from various angles - color and picture stay true. CONS: the remote control is very slim; which is nice - but for anyone who may have trouble reading VERY small print - this could be a problem. Also; if you use another remote for streaming - which is often recommended - the remotes do not necessarily 'talk to each other' - and we have noticed the 'sound control' on the Samsung remote is a bit wonky. Using all the bells and whistles provided by the programmed purchase can be a bit of a chore - I am still trying to understand how to Cast pictures stored on Google; and then - where to find it after I have already 'found it' - sometimes then, navigating the entire system is challenging. Most people; I realize simply have a few items; apps - etc. they regularly use and so many of the 'extras' go unused. Because my husband and I are not tech-nerds; I am pretty certain we don't use all of this new televisions capabilities. But for the quality of picture alone - we are happy with this purchase. Of course; all the user manuals and such are online; which really turns into an AI 'chat' and then....well; it's rather a bust - really no humans to talk to anymore. But we'd recommend this to others based on upgrading to a quality screen.

Very nice TV. Setup is simple and literally the one cord needed comes already attached to the tv so you literally just need to plug it in. The rest of setup (adding feet if not wall mounting and adding the two provided batteries to the remote) are more difficult than necessary in that taking off the back cover of the remote requires more pressure and perfection than any modern device should require, and the installation of feet, while actually quite simple, are made unnecessarily complicated by the directions to attach feet (if not mounting on a wall) and could stand to be clearer. For some reason, the labeling of the feet and the actual directions, are unnecessarily confusing and unintuitive. If Amazon fixes the remote control back removal to install the provided batteries or simply switches to having the remote come with batteries pre-installed and just clears up the directions about how to install the feet. The entire set up process could literally be less than five minutes from the time. The TV is taken out of the package until it is fully up and running. Picture quality is excellent, sound took a little tweaking in settings (very easy to adjust with provided remote: press the settings icon, scroll down to the “sound“ option select “advanced options” and turn the voice dialogue clarity to high and possibly increased the balance from 0 to 1 in the regular sound settings) which is easy enough to do, but why they don’t just have it come set with the audio operating correctly. At the moment you take out of the box I couldn’t tell you, but it does seem like they go to extra links to make their products that are actually decent and quite good unnecessarily, complicated, and confusing to use and or get up and running. Like I said before the entire set up and having it up and running without the need for the sound adjustments, could literally take less than five minutes if Amazon didn’t work so hard to make their products confusing/unintuitive. I still gave it five stars because although it took 15 minutes and not five minutes and it was 10 minutes of time wasted it was not necessary for the actual device and technology, but made necessary by the way Amazon labeled the instructions, etc., but none life. It’s a great TV very light simple to set up with even just one person and other five minutes is preferable to 15 especially in five minutes is totally realistic with the provided device and technology 15 minutes to have an excellent TV, fully functional, connected to the Internet and streaming video or music from your favorite apps is pretty impressive nonetheless. I believe I bought an opened box, brand new version of this 50 inch TV, and total price, including tax and shipping was less than $200.

I have 2 other Insignia TVs that I purchased in 2020. Neither is a FireTV - Just regular TVs and they work great - still. I was looking for a larger TV and I had zero reservations about buying Insignia again. I was hugely surprised that I had an absolute miserable experience to set it up and later, watch. Problem 1: Wouldn’t connect with remote. Contacted Amazon via chat. Was told to unplug TV. Didn’t work. Unplugged again. Didn’t work. Unplugged modem and router. Connected to remote. Problem 2: Wouldn’t play Amazon Prime. Called this time. Spoke to first Amazon rep for over an hour. Got disconnected. Called back. Another hour. The guy couldn't recommend anything other than what the first Amazon guy said which was to disconnect my router and modem, unplug the TV and try again. The TV gets to a screen that says it "needs an update." Click on it to start the update which takes forever and then the TV restarts on its own and returns you back to the original blacked out "apps" that it is supposed to support (you can't see them, but they are supposedly there). Tried several times, and it kept going through the same cycle of "needing an update, waiting for 45 min for the cycle, restarting TV." Problem 3: Amazon phone rep asks for serial number which I read to him from a photograph I took of the back of the TV. He says it’s invalid. What I read to him clearly says "Serial Number" plus it had a manufacture date of June 2025. He asked me to send him the photo as he couldn't validate the serial number. I also gave him my Amazon order number. He said the photo shows another serial number - smaller and way less obvious - with a manufacture date of 1 year earlier (2024!) than the larger, central label with the "invalid serial number." What's going on with that Amazon? Are you slapping on a year younger serial number and manufacture date to make the TV look newer and not like it's one that has been in your store room for over a year? I bought the thing 24 hours ago. Problem 4: There is no user manual. Problem 5: The power cord hole to plug in is hidden with absolutely no reference on any of the 2-page pamphlet where it is located on the back of the TV. Other reviewers have mentioned this. If I didn't read a customer review, I never would have found the power connector. It's vertical! There's an indentation on the left side of the TV as you are facing the back. Hidden at the top of it (it's totally concealed - feel with your finger for it) is the input for the electric cord. Problem 6: Once started - there's still the issue of it going thru different screens with rectangles of the supposed apps it has all blacked out so you can’t see which app it is. No icons. Problem 7: When you finally get it to work and see the apps - and let's say you choose a movie on Amazon Prime - if you put it on "pause" and leave the room to get a snack , the TV will turn itself off. When you turn it back on you won't see the movie, but instead the home screen with all the apps. When you choose "Amazon Prime Video" to get your movie - the thing doesn't even show you the movie at this point. You have to use the search function to find said movie. The only saving grace is that when you find the movie, it does let you resume from where you left off. Other reviewers have noted that there is no setting to avoid the heavy lifting of trying to find your movie again. The auto shut-off engages to "save power" according to the other reviewers. I haven't experienced it shutting off while I'm watching a movie - only when I put it on "pause." As others have said, the interface is super sluggish. It takes a while to load whatever app you choose. Unless you enjoy wasting your life in the set up process (I cannot understand how folks say it's "easy" to set up - and I am pretty tech savvy), I wouldn’t recommend buying this TV. I, myself, am going to watch it daily for the next 2 weeks to see if it starts having the screen issues that others reported. In this way my return window is still open. BTW - TV size is measured on the diagonal. Some reviewers have measured the length of the TV and reported an incorrect size. Also don't be fooled by the $169 "sale price" or "cyber Monday" or "Black Friday" or whatever title is given to the price. The price is and was $169 for the 50" TV for a while (just go to "price history" and you can see it for this and any product sold on Amazon). Hope that helps all of you considering this set. If I had to do it over again, I'd suggest another manufacturer.

Good 4K picture, decent sound. It's a smart Fire TV. I use Roku. Fortunately if I plug in the Roku to the HDMI port, the TV smartly detects the signal and automatically switches to the correct port. If the TV is off and I press any button on the Roku remote, the Roku sends a signal through the HDMI to the TV that wakes it up and switches to the correct HDMI port. I got this from a Black Friday deal for an amazing price. It comes with a pair of simple, short legs that you screw onto the bottom of the set. I bought a 3rd party base stand for it that could raise the set up to a better position, supports it from one central base, and allows the set to be swiveled to the left and right without moving the base. That was a great improvement. The TV has plenty of audio and video settings available from the main menu with the included remote control. Insignia is a Best Buy brand and is sold by them through Amazon marketplace. I would buy again if I needed another TV.

I seldom review items outside of the Amazon Vine program, but I was so impressed with this TV and the deal I got, I just HAD to. I got it on sale. A $300.00 50" TV for $169.00! Pretty hard to complain! It's not difficult to find a new TV for that price... but not at this size and of this quality. THE GOOD: It provides a crisp, beautiful, crystal clear picture that you would expect to see on a much more expensive unit. Menus are easily navigated, and controls are easy to use. The "OS" (for lack of a better term) is attractive and easy to use. Their audio leveling works better than on any other TV I've used (whispers can be heard, and explosions don't rattle your teeth). I've still never seen a flat screen TV at ANY price point with decent sounding onboard speakers, but these are among the best I personally have experienced (if you care about good sound quality, you'll still probably want to use your own external audio). I'm using the feet that were included, instead of a wall mount. They were easy to install, and much more stable than the ones on my last 2 TVs. THE BAD: It is my opinion that it could use a little more processing power. It takes an unusually long time to move between menus and screens, change channels, load movies, etc. (not that big of a deal, but it's a fact). As mentioned... menus are clear and easily navigated... but I can't find bluetooth controls anywhere. In fact... I can't find anything anywhere that indicates that this TV even HAS bluetooth. I've been looking for it since I saw it mentioned in other reviews, but can't find it (it's hard to imagine that it DOESN'T in this day & age). It seems like all TVs have some kind of proprietary sound enhancing software onboard. This one has "DTS Virtual-X Sound: An immersive sound format creates a three-dimensional sound experience with your TV’s speakers". As is always the case... they're WAY overselling it. As with most flat screen TVs... the onboard speakers are little more than "adequate", and completely incapable of sounding "immersive", regardless of whatever technology you shove into them. Something I personally loathe about new TVs, is where they place the inputs, and how they label them. They're always situated where they're easy to see and read from the BACK of the TV. The problem is... the back of the TV is a few inches off the wall, and moving it around is a hassle. TV manufacturers need to put the inputs near the edges of the TV so they're easy to find & reach, and labeled perpendicular to the TV, so they're legible while peering around from the front (BTW... it is my opinion that ALL TVs, regardless of size or price, should have a regular headphone output jack. They're ridiculously inexpensive for the manufacturer, and open up a lot of audio options when others fail). Regarding the remote... the trend these days seems to be smaller and smaller remotes with curved backs and slippery surfaces, making them difficult to hold on to, and impossible to operate with the remote sitting anywhere but in your hand. This one's no exception. Finally... in the instructions and on the back of the unit, they were careful to label everything so it was easy to locate, set up, and use. I don't know if it was supposed to be a joke or what... but they hid the point on the back of the TV where you plug the in the power cord, and they left it unlabeled on the back of the TV AND in the paperwork. I felt and looked all around the edges & the back. It took me a solid 10 minutes of looking before I found it. They did a weird "cut in" in a weird location on the back. The cut-in was easy to see, but the fact that it was functional was not. The power cord plugs in vertically, so the socket is hidden. If they'd label it, as they label the HDMI inputs etc., there would be no question at all. Also... the cut-in is too small, so the plug is difficult to insert. It's equally difficult to tell when it's completely inserted. You really have to kinda jam the cord in there, and there's a fair amount of pressure on the plug at all times. If/when the TV quits working, I'd wager right now, that THAT will be the reason. Horrible design flaw that should be easy for the manufacturer to fix. The "goods" definitely outweigh the "bads", and I strongly recommend this TV to anyone shopping for one!👍

So far, this is the 4th Amazon Fire TV that we have owned. We have an Amazon Fire branded TV, had a TCL Fire TV (which got dropped and broke), we have a Toshiba Fire TV and now have an Insignia TV. All have been very good TVs for the price. I prefer a Fire TV over paying hundreds of dollars for cable. I get my entertainment from Netflix, Prime, Pluto and Tubi among others. This Insignia was picked up at BEST BUY minutes after I purchased it on Amazon. It took only a few minutes to install the feet and get it setup. I am happy with the picture and it is hooked up to a Roku soundbar so the sound is better than many TVs this size. Would I buy it again? Sure would!
