Is Amazon’s affordable Fire TV worthy of your interest?
Most buyers are looking for the best possible deal, and the Amazon Fire TV 55-inch 4-Series offers fantastic value because of its winning combination of a huge screen for a low price.

It certainly succeeds and is one of the best value options, regardless of its generic design and average brightness.

Best Amazon Fire TV under $200
Amazon Fire TV 32″ 2-Series
Fire for everyone
The 32-inch 2-Series is one of the most affordable ways to own an Amazon Fire TV and includes a 32-inch 720p display that can fit on a desk and work as a monitor in a pinch.
- Amazing price
- Six-month MGM subscription
- 32-inch 720p display
- Not the brightest
- No HDMI 2.1
Amazon’s 32-inch 2-Series makes it possible for everyone to own a Fire TV thanks to its amazing price. It is a compact 32-inch TV that can fit anywhere, including most desks, and can double as a second laptop or computer monitor in a pinch. The maximum 720p resolution is expected considering its price and is still ideal for podcasts, videos, or commercial use as a digital signboard or CCTV display. The 2-Series also offers a six-month MGM subscription to sweeten the deal, so you can access thousands of classic movies and shows.
Most TVs at this price point have a similar design, and the all-black gloss plastic is no surprise to anyone. The chunky design might be better for desks than walls, and the V-shaped legs offer decent support. There’s no eARC or HDMI 2.1 at this price, but you still get three HDMI 1.4 ports, optical, Ethernet, and a coaxial port.

Insignia 32-inch Class F20 Series TV
A Fire TV for everyone
Anyone can get their hands on a Fire TV thanks to this low-price smart TV that’s under $150 at full price and can often be found for even less. It’s a perfect fit for smaller rooms and offices.
- Incredible price
- Often discounted even further
- Alexa voice control
- Only 720p resolution
- No HDMI 2.1 ports
Even if you’re on a really tight budget, you can still get your hands on an Amazon Fire TV. This 32-inch model from Insignia has a list price of just $129.99, and you can often find it discounted, with prices occasionally dropping below $100. It’s a compact 32-inch TV that can fit anywhere, including most desks, and can double as a second laptop or computer monitor in a pinch.
The price inevitably comes with some compromises. The resolution is only 720p, so this is old-school HD rather than the 1080p UHD or 4K resolutions that are found in more expensive models. This means you won’t get the sharpest picture, but the impact is minimized by the smaller screen size. There’s also no HDMI 2.1 support, but the three standard HDMI ports should be enough for most needs.
The design is also a little less elegant than more expensive models, being a little thicker than other TVs on the list, but this isn’t something you’re going to notice that much when you’re watching it. You also get all the usual Fire TV benefits, with a host of apps for streaming all of your favorite content, and an Alexa voice remote that allows you to search for shows or movies using just your voice.
