Why we love this deal
There are a lot of great deals to take advantage of during this time of year, but what we set our sights on year after year is the electronic deals. Tablets, phones, laptops, TVs, and other gadgets are typically expensive items, no matter what time of year you shop, but come the holiday seasons, those holiday sales give us a chance to score the must-haves on our wishlists for super affordable prices. Whether you’ve been looking into scoring a new tablet for your kid who has been begging you for months, or an upgraded TV for the family room so you and your spouse can watch your favorite shows on a larger, better-quality screen, there’s no better time to purchase either of them than now during Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. But if a high-definition TV is what you’re after, we’re bringing the amazing deal straight to you.
Right now, Amazon is selling the Amazon Fire TV 43-Inch 4-Series Smart TV for 41% off. The smart TV, which usually retails for $330, is only $194 as part of the retailer’s Black Friday Deals.

Why do shoppers love it?
Streaming is a breeze on this smart TV, and if you’re an eager binge-watcher, or prefer to see your shows on a big screen instead of a laptop, then this TV will be your new favorite thing. With the Fire TV streaming platform already built into the television, you don’t need any external streaming devices like a Fire Stick or Roku to watch your favorite movies and TV shows. You can even add certain streaming devices to your lineup, like Disney+, Netflix, and Prime Video. You instantly get access to over 1.5 million movies and TV episodes. Not only that, but as a smart device, using the voice button on the included remote, you can use Alexa Voice Remote Enhanced to get Alexa to find shows, check weather, and even control other smart devices in your home. However, unlike other smart TV models, this is not a hands-free feature, so you will need to use the remote to activate it.
Although built to be great for streaming, the TV is just as effective for watching live television. Measuring 38.01 inches long, 3.59 inches wide, and 22.29 inches high, the TV also has four HDMI inputs for additional cable equipment and gaming purposes — and you can even use Bluetooth to connect wireless headphones — so the entertainment potential is truly limitless. The TV even has AirPlay compatibility for sharing from Apple devices.
Regardless of whether you’re using the TV to activate other smart devices, watch TV and movies, or game, the screen equality is pretty impeccable. Picture quality is excellent, thanks to support for 4K Ultra HD, HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Plus, which is what allows the screen to be so vivid and high-quality. Plus, a new ultra-slim bezel, or the bordering around the screen, allows you to see a more expanded, wide picture, putting your “entertainment front and center.”

The TV has two stands along the bottom of it, which can easily support the TV’s 15.5 pound weight. That said, the legs are removable, and the TV is compatible with most standard TV wall mounts if you are looking to hang it.
