    The sound quality on thi TV is horrendous. I am not particularly picky, especially for what is essentially a guest TV. But it sounds so tinny! It has to be turned up ridiculously loud to even begin to hear dialog. I have had this for a few years with very little use an recently have had guests. Now it fails to turn on unless you disconnect the power a few times. Im looking for a new spare and will not buy this brand again.

    The contrast levels are less than desired but it's a fun TV for the price. With Alexa built in, it provides enough entertainment for it's budget. Great for a dorm or a single person looking for something basic.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Insignia™ 42" Class F20 Series LED Full HD Smart Fire TV! While it’s unfortunate that the screen stopped showing, it’s great to hear that you still consider it a good TV overall. The combination of Insignia’s quality and Amazon’s Fire TV software makes it a solid choice.

    I should specify that my negative review is more so for my experience. I ordered an ‘Open Box - Excellent’ tier of this television as a Christmas gift for my daughter. It did not come with a remote. No biggie, I thought I would be able to contact Best Buy and just get a replacement. They’re saying that I have to purchase a new remote ($29.99) or return/exchange the TV set. Wouldn’t common sense tell you that they should just provide a replacement remote? This TV is impossible to set up without one. It’s such a hassle - and how embarrassing to have to take back something I already gifted because of an error that Best Buy won’t make right. It’s an outrage.
