Sick of your old TV? We've got good news. Now is the perfect time to upgrade. Amazon just slashed the price on one of the most popular Amazon Fire TV models. For a limited time, you can score the 55-inch Amazon Fire TV 4-Series 4K smart TV for a whopping 50% off. 

But hurry, this deal won't last for long.

The 2023 version of the Amazon Fire TV 4-Series is offered at a highly competitive price. Because it's designed by Amazon, it offers full integration with the Alexa digital voice assistant and the Amazon Prime Video streaming service. 

You can control the TV and other compatible smart home gear with the included voice remote. You also get full access to all of the other popular streaming services via the FireOS operating system. This TV is equipped with four HDMI ports, but just one USB port, one Ethernet port and one optical audio port. It supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. To enhance the picture quality for supported programming, you get HDR10 and HLG support. Dolby Audio and Dolby Digital Plus are supported as well, so with the proper speakers (sold separately), you can get true surround sound.

Instead of a 120Hz refresh rate, you'll need to settle for just 60Hz. High action content (such as video gaming) won't look as fluid on this TVs as it will on a television with a higher refresh rate.

Why we like the Amazon Fire TV 4-Series: Use the voice remote to access Amazon Alexa and control the TV and other smart gear in your home with voice commands. The free Fire TV app allows you to use your smartphone as a remote control for the TV.

The Amazon Fire TV 4-Series is available in multiple sizes. Prices vary, but right now you'll score the deepest discount on the 55-inch version which is 50% off today (and currently even cheaper than the smaller screen sizes).

Now that OLED technology is becoming commonplace among TV manufacturers, you no longer need to pay a hefty premium for it. Yes, OLED TVs are still on the pricier side, but they're more affordable than ever. The LG OLED Evo C3 is definitely one of the more affordable OLED TVs currently available. To ensure the best picture quality possible, this TV relies on LG's proprietary a9 AI Processor Gen6, which improves brightness and contrast while fine tuning colors based on ambient lighting in the room.

As with all OLED screens equipped with Dolby Vision, expect to see dark and solid blacks, bright whites and truly accurate and life-like colors. Whatever you're watching will be seen as close as possible to how it was intended. The TV's Filmmaker mode enhances picture quality even further when you're watching movies.

Why we like the LG OLED evo C3: It is a great gaming TV option with lots of specialized features for console or PC-based gaming systems. This TV offers Dolby Atmos sound support, which works with the TVs internal speakers. It makes audio sound especially fantastic when an optional soundbar or surround sound system is connected to the TV.
