A: The Insignia 50” Class F50 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV has decent built-in speakers that are good enough for casual viewing, especially in smaller or quieter rooms. It supports DTS Virtual:X, which helps simulate surround sound, but it lacks deep bass and doesn’t deliver the rich, immersive audio experience that a soundbar can provide. If you're not too particular about sound quality, you probably won’t need a soundbar. However, if you enjoy watching movies with cinematic sound, playing games, or listening to music with fuller audio and clearer dialogue, then adding a soundbar would be a worthwhile upgrade. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Ivy | Insignia Support

Good Smart TV, especially with Alexa
I would’ve gave it four stars, but the Geek Squad and the exchange was extremely helpful. We bought the first one on Father’s Day, but it was having power issues by the end of the week. A gentleman at the Geek squad showed us how to reset the fire TV. When it was having power issues, our Best Buy store allowed us to do an even exchange. The packaging was very easy to remove the fire TV out of the box. Setting it up with our existing Alexa smart network was pretty easy. The only issue with connectivity was the placement of the RCA sound video ports and the coax antenna, which was too close on mounting it on the VESA mounting brackets. My wife’s favorite feature is connecting your Apple devices through AirPlay. Overall, it is a good lightweight, reasonably priced, smart TV.

Great product — Great deal!
I just don’t know how you could get a better tv at a better deal! Picture quality and sound are both very good. This is the second of these TVs I bought; this one for the bedroom, the other in my living room. Super easy for one person to setup, even at 50”. They even improved the leg installation over the other tv I bought previously; made it easier and mistake-proof. I needed this one raised so I could watch it in bed, so I bought a mount - and it connected easily. Yes, I would whole-heartedly recommend this tv. In fact, I have already recommended this tv to others.

Fourth One and Still Loving it!
This is the fourth Insignia TV I’ve bought in the past year—and that says everything! The picture quality is crisp, the colors are vibrant, and setup is always a breeze. I use them in different rooms and even one outside, and they all perform like champs. The built-in Fire TV features are super convenient, and the remote is user-friendly. Great value for the price—honestly, I don’t see a reason to buy anything else. Highly recommend this TV to anyone looking for a reliable upgrade!
