TV tech has improved by leaps and bounds even in just the past few years, and if you’re still squinting at an ancient flatscreen, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days offers the perfect opportunity to upgrade. That's right, it's not just Crest White Strips and running shoes that you'll find on sale for October Prime Day—one of Amazon's most popular smart TVs is now under $150 and it's stuffed with must-have features.
The Insignia 42-inch Class F20 Series Smart TV is on sale during Prime Big Deal Days for $120, a 33% drop from its normal price of $180, making it a standout deal for such a high-quality, feature-packed TV. It’s a hot seller on Amazon—over 6,000 were sold in the last month—and it has earned well over 6,000 five-star ratings from shoppers who say it’s “worth every penny” because of its “very clear, sharp, and high-quality 1080p picture.” It's also available in 24- and 32-inch sizes, but the 42-inch is, by far, the best value.
