Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series

Partnering with Amazon for apps and games, all modern Insignia TVs use Fire TV OS for apps, wireless casting, and smart home controls. The F30 Series even comes with an Alexa-powered remote, so you’ll be able to use the assistant to search for movies and shows, open and close apps, change inputs, control smart home gear, and more. And should you want to bypass Wi-Fi in favor of a hardwired connection, the Insignia F30 comes with an Ethernet port, too. 

As for picture and sound quality, you’re in good hands with this LED TV. Do keep in mind that Insignia is a Best Buy house brand known for budget-friendly pricing and features. So, while you shouldn’t expect TV perfection, what you can expect is a bright and colorful picture with decent contrast levels and limited HDR support. Sound-wise, the TV isn’t half bad, but you may find you’d like to pair it with a soundbar at some point. 

The F30 Series has a native 60Hz refresh rate and no VRR or ALLM support, but you can manually switch to the Game picture preset for reduced input lag.

Score the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series 4K LED while it’s $90 off because we’re not sure when or if there will be another markdown. And if you’re looking for more budget-friendly TV options, consider looking through our lists of the best TV deals, best Amazon deals, and top Best Buy deals, too.

I’m already surrounded by AI. I don’t need ChatGPT living beside my bed
No, OpenAI. I don’t want your ChatGPT speaker.
Apple HomePod 2023

AI is all around us now. From your phone to home appliances, it practically sits everywhere--and it might just get a lot more intimate. A recent report claims OpenAI and Jony Ive are working on a small, screenless AI speaker shaped somewhat like a doughnut. It could be battery-powered, portable enough to carry around the house, and packed with microphones, cameras, sensors, speakers, lights, and even moving parts.

It sounds like someone finally decided the Amazon Echo needed eyes and a personality. And not to be too negative, the idea of a "ChatGPT"-powered hardware really doesn't sound so great.

For months, reports have suggested that OpenAI’s first hardware product would be a screen-free smart speaker designed to act more like an AI companion. We already knew it could understand its surroundings, be carried around the home, and proactively help users. A new Bloomberg report now gives us a clearer picture of what the device may actually look like.

As per the report, OpenAI’s first gadget will be shaped like a doughnut and measure about the same size as a hockey puck. You will be able to carry it between rooms or leave it nearby on whatever surface is convenient. The device is expected to be on the expensive side, as the company has pondered pricing it around $300 to $400. A release is currently planned for 2027.
