This TV has a huge 70-inch screen that supports 4K and HDR content.
If you’re not familiar with Insignia, it’s Best Buy’s television brand.
But this TV works on Amazon’s Fire TV platform, giving you access to a range of premium apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu and HBO Max.
If you don’t want to pay monthly fees for these services, you can also enjoy a wide list of free content from ad-supported apps like Amazon Freevee and The Roku Channel.
Buyers were quite impressed with this TV model, with a score of 4.7/5 based on 1,151 reviews (of which 947 gave five-star ratings).
One buyer wrote: “This is one of the best TVs we’ve ever bought and one of the biggest!”
They added: “The picture is perfect, the sound is crisp, the clarity is incredible. It feels like you’re in the cinema!”

What is 4K, Ultra HD and UHD?
Here’s an easy guide to what 4K means…
- 4K, Ultra HD and UHD are different names for the same type of TV screen. 4K refers to the number of pixels on your TV screen – or the “picture resolution”
- Pixels are small colored dots that make up the image you see on television. A pixelated image is one where the pixels are really obvious because there aren’t many of them. But images with lots of pixels – like a 4K movie – often look sharper and clearer.
- A true 4K display is 4096 x 2160 pixels. This means that your TV screen is 3,840 pixels wide and 2,160 pixels vertically. There are around 8.3 million pixels on the screen in total
- 4K gets its name because it has four times more pixels than a standard Full HD TV
- Full HD (or 1080p) displays are 1920 pixels wide and 1080 pixels up – about two million pixels in total. So 4K just means your TV has a lot more pixels on the screen compared to a more common Full HD screen
- Ultra HD, or UHD, is basically the same as 4K. If you buy a UHD television in a store, you can watch 4K content without any problems
- But there is a small difference. Almost every TV you buy has a 16:9 aspect ratio. This means that for every 16 pixels horizontally, there are 9 vertically.
- Real 4K images don’t fit this aspect ratio, so you won’t often find TVs with 4096 x 2160 pixels. Instead, to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio, most 4K TVs will be 3840 x 2160 pixels.
- If it doesn’t make sense, grab a calculator and divide 2,160 by 9. Then multiply by 16 and you get 3,840. That’s the aspect ratio working its magic. So when you see an Ultra HD TV, it just means it’s a 4K picture with slightly fewer vertical pixels
- If you try to watch a 4K video on a non-4K TV, the video will still play – but it won’t be 4K quality. To watch 4K video in 4K quality, you’ll need to shell out for a 4K TV. Likewise, if you are watching standard or HD images on a 4K TV, it will not magically become 4K quality.
- Some TVs promise “4K upscaling,” which converts your standard or HD footage to near 4K quality. This works by using software to guess which colors would fill the extra empty pixels missing from HD footage and then filling them in. This creates an effect similar to 4K, but it is not true 4K.
