Why is this a good deal?

Not only is this TV 40% off, but it's at the lowest price we've seen so far this year. It's worth noting that we've seen it drop even lower before, but not by much — and not until a major sales holiday. Since it comes with Fire TV built in (and a Fire TV remote), you're getting at least $50 in added value too. If you really want to save, take home the 75-inch version of this same TV — it's 45% off.

Why do I need this?

The Hisense 50-inch has a little something for everyone. Hardcore sports fans will love how smooth the on-screen motion is thanks to the high refresh rate, while gamers can take advantage of the low input latency for fast responses in their favorite games.

All watchers will appreciate how thin this TV's bezels are, giving the impression that it's all screen. You can press the Alexa Voice Remote's microphone button to give a command, such as "Turn down the lights" or "Suggest a comedy movie featuring animals." It's like having a personal assistant to help you figure out your evening entertainment.

The TV is also no slouch in terms of specs. It can reach up to 600 nits peak brightness, and with 32 local dimming zones, the blacks will be crisp while the bright areas won't wash out the rest of the screen. You can also access all of your favorite streaming services, including Disney+, Max, Hulu and Netflix.

What reviewers say

More than 2,300 shoppers vouch for this TV's greatness, giving it a five-star review.

"This TV is awesome! The picture is crisp and clean. The motion, even with sports, is smooth and clear. The sound is great and fills my really large basement with ease," gushed one fan.

Another fan shared, "It works fantastic with Alexa. The picture quality really surprised me the most. It is very high definition, and you really notice actors' makeup and stuff. I guess there is a setting you can use to make that less harsh, but it really is kind of fascinating. At any rate, A+ from me as far as TVs go."

"Looks bigger than what it really is and has a beautiful bright picture right out of the box," said a third shopper. "With that being said, you might have to tone down the saturation a bit cause it might be a little too colorful for some, but a nice picture with adjustment. The sound is amazing with decent bass and nice highs, and does a good job doing voices. It did take a minute to set up with the wait time on the three updates, but still very easy to do. ... Easy to navigate UI and you can download more apps versus Roku TVs. Digital channels look like cable channels and have a nice channel guide."
