These are the best Fire TV Edition TVs you can get right now

These days, just about everyone has heard of or has purchased some smart streaming TV box or stick to consume Netflix, Prime Video, or HBO Max. But I would argue that streaming media's most valuable is actually one of the best Fire TV Edition TVs. Right now, we think the best Fire TV Edition set is the Insignia NS-65DF710NA21 Smart 4K UHD because it's one of the biggest and most attractive options available. However, there are several great choices on the market, so let's take a look at what's out right now.

Best Overall Fire TV Edition: Insignia NS-65DF710NA21 Smart 4K UHD

Insignia has really stepped up as the premiere high-end manufacturer of the best Fire TV Edition TVs, and this series is a gleaming example of these efforts. This set earns our top spot not only because it's packed with smarts and looks great, but it is the largest Fire TV Edition TV that you can currently buy.

This line of 4K UHD Fire TV Edition sets is available in 43, 50, and 55-inch variants, and this big and beautiful 65-inch version, starting at affordable price points. There's also a 70-inch option, but it's $200 more than the 65-incher, and we're not sure it's worth it for those few extra inches of real estate. Each of these smart TVs features 4K UDH resolution, DTS Studio Sound, and all are equipped with an Amazon Alexa Voice Remote so you can issue commands to the Amazon smart assistant for navigating the TV interface or calling up a particular movie, show, or app.

Really the only downsides to this line of Fire TV Edition TVs are that the screens are LED instead of OLED (which is a cost-saving measure), and some customers have reported hearing a whirring noise similar to a laptop fan coming from their TVs when left on for a while

Pros:

  • Fire TV experience built-in
  • All sizes feature 4K UHD video
  • Continuous updates
  • Affordable price points
  • Comes with Amazon Alexa Voice Remote

Cons:

  • Screens are LED, not OLED
  • Some customers have audio complaints

Big and beautiful

These high-end 4K UHD Fire TV Edition TVs from Insignia are among the biggest and best Fire TVs you can currently buy.

Best Big Toshiba Fire TV Edition: Toshiba 55LF621U21 4K UHD TV

Another great option in the larger-sized Fire TV Edition TV space is this gem from Toshiba. Like the Insignia above, this TV can output video in glorious 4K UHD resolution with over eight million pixels for amazing clarity. If 55 inches is too big for your space, fear not. It also comes in more manageable 43-inch or 50-inch versions.

This smart TV comes with an Amazon Alexa Voice Remote, so you can issue commands to the Amazon smart assistant to navigate the TV interface or call up a particular movie, show, or app. You also get the benefit of automatic software updates.

Pros:

  • Great value for a large TV
  • 4K UHD picture quality
  • Automatic software updates
  • Amazon Alexa Voice Remote

Cons:

  • No OLED models
  • Not quite as large as the largest TVs from Insignia

Outstanding entry price

This Toshiba HD Fire TV Edition set gets you a large, higher-resolution TV at an even more affordable price point.

Best Small Insignia Fire TV Edition: Insignia NS-39DF310NA21 Smart HD 720p TV

If you are on a tighter budget, or if you are so particular that you require a 4K UHD picture, then you might be better off just getting a 720p HD Fire TV Edition TV. As with the other TVs on this list, you get the full-featured Fire TV operating system and an Alexa Voice Remote to control your smart TV.

The familiar Fire TV experience is easy to navigate with the remote traditionally, too, of course, and watching the latest episodes of Jack Ryan or the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is so enjoyable on that HD screen. The remote also has quick use buttons for common streaming sites like Netflix, HBO, and Hulu. This is the perfect device for a bedroom, home office, or study, and it's priced to be the ideal gift for friends and family.

Pros:

  • Amazing entry price
  • Easy-to-use Fire TV operating system
  • Smaller size fits most spaces
  • Amazon Alexa Voice Remote

Cons:

  • Not OLED
  • Remote quick use buttons may not be helpful

Perfect pint-sized TV

If you cannot pick up one of the larger 4K UHD models or want a different alternative, you can't go wrong with this smaller set.

Best Small Toshiba Fire TV Edition: Toshiba TF-32LF221U21 720p Smart HD TV

If you are looking for a smart TV in the Amazon ecosystem but either don't care about 4K UHD resolution or you want to save a little bit of money, this smaller HD Fire TV Edition from Toshiba is worthy of your consideration. It comes in a 32-inch size that is particularly ideal for bedrooms, apartments, or smaller spaces in general.

Even though this set's resolution is not as high as the 4K UHD models, you still get all of the Fire TV OS goodies that you would on the higher-end TVs. You get an Amazon Alexa Voice Remote, which you can use to operate the TV, search for shows, and control your smart home devices. You also get the benefit of automatic software updates.

Pros:

  • Great value
  • Ideal for smaller spaces
  • All of the apps and services of 4K UHD versions
  • Automatic software updates
  • Amazon Alexa Voice Remote

Cons:

  • Lower resolution
  • Size tops at 32-inches

Bottom line

Amazon is really hitting hard in the smart TV streaming space, and these latest Fire TV Editions from Insignia and Toshiba have raised the bar another notch. Our top choice on this list has to be the Insignia NS-65DF710NA21 Smart 4K UHD because it's one of the biggest and most beautiful Fire TV sets available right now.

These Fire TV Edition TVs from Insignia and Toshiba have all of the top specs you would look for in a mid-range smart TV like 4K UHD and available Dolby Vision, with the benefit of Amazon's intuitive Fire TV operating system built-in. Having Alexa available through the included voice remote is a huge bonus as well, as you can use this device like your smart home controller to monitor your Ring Doorbell, Blink cameras, or Ecobee thermostats. We also like that they come in sizes that are not absurdly large for most rooms and are affordably priced for 4K smart TVs.

Whichever Fire TV set you choose, you're going to get a great viewing experience with Alexa smarts built-in at a reasonable price. Choose wisely, and start enjoying all of that great content soon with your friends and family!

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
