If you were hoping to get a brand new TV last weekend at a really cheap price for Black Friday, you’re not out of time yet. Even though Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over, you can still save a lot on a TV as Amazon still has some of its Black Friday prices active. Last week, the 50-inch Amazon Fire TV 4-Seires that supports 4K resolution and HDR saw its price drop to $280. As of this writing, the smart TV still costs $280. That’s a 38% discount, down from $450, and saves you a whole $170 on your big holiday purchase.
For spending under $300, what you get with this smart TV is truly impressive. It’s a full 50 inches, big enough for many rooms, and can play media in 4K. Not only that, it supports vivid HDR 10 along with Dolby Digital Plus. With it, you will get beautiful picture quality. It won’t knock your socks off or anything, but it will look perfectly functional with nothing to compare it to. So I guess don’t place an OLED TV directly next to it in your living room.
As for ports, the Amazon Fire TV 4-Series has four different HDMI ports. This gives you tons of options so you can switch between gaming console and cable box without replacing cables. It also supports HDMI ARC so you can connect a soundbar via HDMI if you want. It also supports an optical connection.
Alexa enabled
The Amazon Fire TV interface supports a wide range of your favorite apps, from Netflix to Disney+ to Peacock and, of course, Prime Video. On top of everything, you can access over 1.5 million movies and TV show episodes, as well as millions of songs depending on the type of subscription you sign up for. You can even manage your smart home of devices using Alexa directly from your TV. Start video calls, control your Ring Camera and much more, right from the sofa.
I personally love being able to use Alexa with the remote so I can find a particular movie without having to type it with the arrow keys in the on-screen keyboard. I just say “My Cousin Vinny” into the remote and the next thing I know I’m listening to Marisa Tomei yelling at Joe Pesci about his pants.
Right now, you can still get the Amazon Fire TV for the Black Friday price of $280 (38% off). There’s no telling when the price will rise, so act quickly before it’s too late.
