Need a deal on a new mid-sized TV to watch your favorite shows? Something you can curl up with in your den or boudoir when you just want to get away from it all? Look no further: The Amazon 43-inch Fire TV 4-Series is on sale for $210. That's a hefty $180 off and an unbeatable deal for a set that'll likely last you a decade or more. The 4-Series is notable for a number of reasons, not the least of which is Amazon's baked-in Fire TV interface. This affords access to not only every major streaming service but also a nifty selection of games and apps.

All models in the 4-Series support Alexa operation, meaning you can say things like, "Alexa, turn on the TV," or "Alexa, watch Poker Face on Peacock," and immediately get results. I honestly didn't think that was a big deal until I started testing one of these TVs, but trust me: Hands-free commands are pretty convenient.

Features like that, along with the aforementioned app support, help give Fire TV the edge over Roku. And I say that as someone who tends to prefer the latter's interface. Right now, Fire is winning the smart-TV war.

Ease of use versus performance

The 4-Series Fire TV is simple to use and gives easy access to all of your favorite services, especially with the four on-remote buttons that let you jump straight to Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, or Netflix. It also supports Dolby Vision.

This model is inexpensive, and larger sizes are on sale — but there are some features that aren't available with smaller TVs. That said, it does have three different HDMI ports, as well as a dedicated HDMI port for surround sound systems that will give you a more immersive experience.

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
