Why We Love This Deal
Super Bowl Sunday is nearing, and that generally means now is when you want to take stock of your entertainment setup if it's your turn to host the game day party. Why? Right around now is when many smart TVs go on sale. If you're looking to upgrade but don't want to break the bank, this 65-inch Insignia Smart Fire TV is marked down to less than $300 on Amazon.
Insignia’s 65-Inch 4K UHD Smart Fire TV is on sale for $290 on Amazon, a 36% discount off its full price of $450. One of the absolute best value TVs available on the site, this Insignia continuously leaves buyers shocked and impressed with what it can do despite the low cost. Over 2,000 of them have been purchased just in the last month, but look for that number to at least double ahead of Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8.

For a smart TV under $300, this model from Insignia is pleasantly packed with tech. You get 4K UHD resolution and a direct LED backlight, and a pretty solid sound experience with Dolby Atmos (arguably the leader in TV audio). You can connect up to three HDMI cables (one with eARC capabilities), and you get an Alexa voice-controlled remote, a slim design, and a sleek bezelless metal design that is right on par with TVs that can sit in frames.
Most importantly, the system runs on Fire TV, which means you get access to all of the major streaming services plus live and free TV channels. This year's game is on NBC, and if you download the Peacock app, you can watch it there, too.
A 65-inch TV is usually best for medium- to larger-sized living rooms, with seating about 7 to 10 feet from the screen. Once you start pushing back past 12 feet or have a ton of seating, upping to a 75-inch or larger model may be best. For the average home, this Insignia will do the trick, especially if you're hosting a watch party.

What Buyers Are Saying
Among its hundreds of 5-star ratings, this Insignia continues to impress its users, many of whom are shocked at how well it performs. "Surprising under-the-radar quality,” one buyer said, adding that the “picture quality is as good as I've ever seen, even on much costlier TVs.”
Another found the 4K picture to be “crisp and vibrant,” and they said that the sound was “surprisingly good,” too, although they ultimately added a soundbar. Depending on the size and shape of the room, we can't blame them for that.
For an entry-level TV in the larger screen-sized models, this Insignia 65-inch Fire TV is a winner. Amazon’s pricing may change depending on factors like stock and demand, so don’t let this fantastic deal slip away.
