Top Best 9 59 Inch Tv in December 2021

Good Picture Good Sound And Easy Set Up Nice Looking Tv

I took a chance and purchased this TV on the day it was released. I am very happy I did. This TV has exceeded my expectations. The image quality is incredible for a tv at this price point. The picture looks so good, you feel as if you can reach out and grab whatever is on the screen. I spend time looking at movies I’ve seen before in 4K now. The detail is amazing. Screen brightness has always been an issue for me with other tv’s in the past, but here… not a problem. The screen brightness is perfect right out of the box. The weight of the unit is so light, it was a breeze to mount. The bevel so thin, the beautiful picture it produces takes up the whole screen. This tv replaced another 55 inch, but this one looks so much bigger. The ability to pair a Bluetooth headset is awesome. My wife surely appreciates this feature when I’m watching tv late at night. This unit can benefit from the addition of a sound bar though. It’s not to say the sound from the unit is bad, but it lacks of depth and range. All that being said, at this price, I would highly recommend this Amazon Omni 55 inch 4K unit. I have no regrets. It appears Amazon has hit the ground running with their first TV.

I LoVe My 77inch OLED LG

Best TV of 2020 & 2021!!

Excellent TV. Ridiculous resolution and met all expectations. However I have to complain about the LG available apps on their app store. Lacking. No spectrum TV so I still need a Roku or other streaming device. A few other missing apps...

Worth the money! LG did it again. Wonderful TV, so light for its size.

Quality picture and the surround sound system in the tv itself is on point.

By far the best looking picture I’ve had. The OLEDs are definitely worth the extra money especially for someone that plays games on the TV. Make sure you do the research about unboxing and mounting the TV before taking it out the box though as it is very delicate and must be moved very carefully once out of the box.

Tv looks good and beautiful. Worth for money.

Clarity os good. Sounf effect also good

Very clear crisp video and sound! No extra sound bar needed.

If you’re looking for a QLED TV that won’t break the bank and delivers a superb picture, this hits the target. Especially if it’s on sale!! But factory picture presets are a bit over the top brightness and color saturation wise. Just tone them down a bit and you’re good to go.

Let’s get to the good stuff right off. Outstanding picture quality for the price. Very bright at the highest backlight setting. Rich vivid colors and excellent color accuracy. Input wise, 4 HDMI, 1 composite video and audio, USB and ethernet. Down firing speakers that sound good with EQ and DTS options and a headphone jack. Also ARC and optical audio out for use with a soundbar. It has a bluetooth remote with Alexa integration that worked perfectly for me. Have security cameras linked to Alexa? This TV will display them! USB in for photos, video and music. The OS is snappy and things load fast. TV has 12GB of RAM for apps, Dolby Vision, DTS, Bluetooth, WiFi. Plenty of settings to adjust to customize picture and sound. See overview and specs listed above for details.

Not only did I compare this TV to my 4K Samsungs which are basic models, I went to Best Buy and some other retailers and looked at what the competition was offering and talked to the sales staff to get their take on brands, features and reliability. From what I found online, supposably Hisense makes TVs for Insignia and Toshiba. That’s not a bad thing. The sales people I talked to spoke favorably of them.

So how does it compare to the TVs costing hundreds to thousands more? Not too bad. Remember, it’s not competing with high end OLED TVs or QLED TVs with backlit screens with a matrix of LED backlights that dim or brighten for a deep HDR picture. But it will get a picture that’s much closer to those than a typical LCD TV.

For those that may not know this, All LCD screens are backlit with LEDs nowadays. Either from the edge or behind. OLED screens are where every pixel is an LED that emits light. LCDs are a light valve that lets the back light shine through.

Unboxing is easy. Do follow the instructions on how to remove the TV from the lower part of the box after you take the top off. It’s in a plastic bag with handles to make it easy. You can mount it on the wall or use the included aluminum feet.

Setup was easy. Once you connect it to the internet it will look for updates and download them and install them before letting you proceed. After that you will need to log into your Amazon account if you have one and set up a profile and log into whatever streaming accounts you have. If you do not have an Amazon account you will need one to use this TV since it is an Amazon Fire TV. Navigating the screen was easy and snappy. Apps loaded fast too. I have 600 mbps fiber internet and an Asus gaming router so that might have something to do with apps loading fast. Your mileage may vary.

First thing you will notice when you get set up and going is this thing is Bright and the Colors are Hot! To the point of being overwhelming. Especially the reds. Like all TVs of late it has several picture presets like Standard, Dynamic, Movie, Game, Natural, PC and Custom. They change picture settings for brightness, contrast, color and other things that would take too long to list here. But I noticed they all were all higher than necessary in the brightness and color saturation department. So I highly recommend you adjust the settings to your liking for brightness, contrast and color. Sharpness will help too. There’s an advanced picture settings menu too. It has settings for things like “debanding”, “Skin Tone” and such. Most seem pretty straight forward to what they do but not all. I searched in vain online for information on what some of these settings do because the manual doesn’t cover them. Maybe they will post it later on.

So yeah, you will need to tweak the picture settings to get the best picture out of this TV. Don’t let that scare you because it’s not that hard to do. Just leave the TInt setting and RGB levels alone. If gray looks purplish or greenish then contact BB as may not be something you can fix yourself by changing settings. My TV is pretty dead on for color balance and yours should be too. Do note that the Color Temperature settings are there to give a warm (think incandescent lighting) or cool (think daylight) look to the picture.

I tested my TV by streaming from Amazon Prime, Hulu, Ruko, Discovery Plus, IMDB and YouTube.

For HDMI input I used Dish Network, Sony UBPX700/M 4K Blu-Ray player I reviewed a while back and an Asus gaming laptop I recently reviewed also.

For the average person it all looks Great! For the more discerning person the Sony Blu-Ray with a 4K disc will provide the absolute best picture quality. Especially if your Blu-Ray player has Dolby Vision.

I literally synced up Alien on Prime in 4K and 4K Blu-Ray I have of the movie. The Blu-Ray won as expected. Better color, lighting and detail. Yes, it was noticeable but not night and day. Next up was the Blu-Ray of The Last Jedi in FHD. Not sure if the player or TV upscaled it but it looked great. Also keep in mind that streaming services do vary in picture quality. I didn’t notice any lag that some other reported. See photos of Blu-Ray Stills.

Lastly I connected my laptop to see how it looked and attempted to use my color spyder to color calibrate the screen. Even after I set the picture settings to comply with the calibration software the TV would switch to the Game preset automatically no matter what I set the picture preset to and I found no way to disable it from doing it. That made it impossible to do a color calibration and check the TV’s color gamut. All TVs have a service or setup mode for techs and I probably could have hunted online how to get into it and to run the calibration but that’s beyond the scope of my review.

I also took a photo of the TV with my thermal camera to show where it’s warmest. The devices below the TV are a Dish Joy and the Sony Blu-ray. As you can see in the photo the TV is lit from the bottom. The specs say back lit too but the thermal camera doesn’t quite confirm that. So draw your own conclusions there.

Note: All photos taken with a Canon EOS R and not a smartphone. Except FLIR.

Conclusion: I highly recommend this TV.

The Insignia 55-inch QLED Smart Fire TV has an excellent picture quality along with some pretty helpful features for a connected smart home. The integration with Alexa and Amazon's many services is outstanding - with very little initial time spent setting that part of the TV up. But, wow - this TV is BRIGHT! Right out of the box, the TV's picture almost seemed distorted because it was nearly blindingly bright - but, that is easily managed through settings. This is my first Fire TV and I seem to learn more each time I use it.

Pros:

- Great picture, once adjusted for your viewing preferences; my family likes it in Movie (Dark) mode to counterbalance the very bright initial setting

- Intuitive and relatively straightforward set up for most apps

- A whole host of available apps (I believe Android-based)

- Outstanding remote with Alexa button built in

- Instantaneous Alexa and Works-with-Alexa functionality for all devices connected to your Amazon/Alexa account

-- Side note: if you use Ring Video Cameras in your smart home --

you will LOVE how easily you can pull up any of the cameras

connected to Alexa. This is perhaps one of my favorite features

- Rich sound from the built-in speakers, including virtual surround sound and ARC support for a sound bar.

- 4K QLED (not quite OLED) picture with little - if any - stuttering on the majority of channels (see con below re: older, non-4k video)

- Nearly frameless bezel; in a darkened room, it almost looks like the picture is floating

Cons:

- Packaging: the first TV arrived totally destroyed. I don't fault Insignia or Best Buy for this ... it would appear the delivery company did not handle the box well. When the first TV arrived, there were literally pieces of the box and parts of the TV screen falling out of the mangled box: Recommendation: have Best Buy install it (or deliver it) or pick it up yourself as the packaging seemingly cannot handle the everyday parcel services and the way they toss boxes around like basketballs.

- There is a bit of lag when starting up and some apps are slow to launch. Be prepared for software updates and a lot of waiting...

- We've experienced a few lock-ups with the TV which seem to resolve themselves (the TV just reboots itself)

- On older channels and standard definition DVDs, there is a bit of stuttering with the picture. It's barely noticeable to some, but can be a bit of an annoyance

- A small, but notable design issue: the power cord plugs in at the bottom left of the back of the TV (when facing the back) and is not only very awkward to get plugged in by pushing it up into the socket, but it's fallen out of the power socket a few times. a better design would be a flattened "L" shaped power cord as found on other brands.

Overall, I give this TV a thumbs up. The screen clarity and ultra-4k clarity are breathtaking once you've set the display to settings you like. Sound is well-above average for a TV at this price point. The Alexa/Amazon integration is absolutely fantastic. I would - and do - recommend this product and am already considering a second for our den.

The F50 is Insignia’s first time competing in the Quantum Dot/QLED arena. For those unfamiliar with the terminology, QLED is just another way of saying mid-tier 4K TV with increased color depth. On paper, this TV seems like an uncontested winner. Unfortunately, it struggles to produce a satisfying picture consistently. Luckily, the F50 finds redemption in other features and in the execution of those features. As an owner of another Quantum Dot television, I benefitted from having a similar device to compare it against. Below are my findings.

The Good

• Intuitive Interface: The F50 gives a quick response to my remote selections and toggles between menus with ease. I’ve had navigational problems where there is severe lag or “freezing”, but so far there have been no issues with accomplishing basic to advanced tasks. Furthermore, I found my experience with the Amazon Alexa app to be useful in giving feedback and presenting information onto my screen.

• Great Sound: Natively, the television speakers provide great audio through the DTS Virtual-X Sound. No complaints.

• eArc: This is a major win for Insignia for those who own or wish to invest in a high-quality sound setup. I use this television with a soundbar, subwoofer, and speakers which makes for a pleasurable experience.

• Screen Mirroring/MiraCast: Most TVs will have some type of casting technology implemented. As a long time user of SmartCast, I very much prefer MiraCast for projecting my device’s screen onto my display whether it’s my phone or computer.

• Ample Amount of Storage Space: The FireTV Operating System (OS) doesn’t hog many resources on the initial setup or even after updating. After installing apps, I still had 9 GBs of free space available with the option to add additional space via USB.

• Bluetooth Functionality/Headphone Jack: I’m still surprised by the number of products released annually that lack Bluetooth capabilities. I own several gaming devices which makes it awesome that I can connect wirelessly to stream the audio from the television directly to my headset. What’s even better is that I still have the ability to use a hard-wired connection for listening if I so choose.

Extra HDMI Input: One of the biggest complaints from television consumers is the lack of “extra” HDMI ports. The products I currently own are an example of why three HDMI ports don’t work. I have a soundbar, 4 gaming consoles/devices, cable TV, and a laptop that could benefit from a wired connection depending on the task. It can be a hassle unplugging and re-plugging devices.

The Bad

• Colors Can Be Over-Saturated Too Much: To be fair, the product description does highlight that the colors are heavily saturated. Media can sometimes look artificial or as if a paint bucket was accidentally tipped over.

• Poor preset picture modes: Because certain colors can be overpowering at moments, I had to resort to toggling between different preset modes. Picture modes are designed to compliment the type of content being viewed. I found myself switching modes to fix one issue, but this would inadvertently introduce another problem. The most common problem is when watching video that transitions scenes from day to night. The sunny scenes usually aren’t bright enough and the evening scenes are often too dark to where I can’t make out what’s happening on the screen.

• Calibration is a must: I wish this TV was more of a plug-n-play device, but it’s not. It takes work to adjust the picture settings which could still lead to disappointing results in the long run.

The Insignia QLED F50 is a good tv, but should never be your main TV. Out of the box, every mode needs to be calibrated. No owner wants to spend time doing tedious work after spending hundreds of dollars on a major purchase. I rated the Insignia F50 3 stars because image presentation is major for any television and this can fall short sometimes. So why would recommend a TV that I myself only gave 3 stars?

1. The Insignia F50 still produces stunning color. There are times when I witnessed vivid scenes filled with rich colors and thought to myself “this is pretty awesome”. It will still outperform any regular 4K TV by miles. The amount of content available in native 4K with HDR is still growing so much of the media we all view is still not in Ultra High Def (UHD). Also, the Insignia F50 dramatically improves Standard Definition (SD) and regular High Definition (HD) as it should.

2. The TV has several features that my existing QLED TV doesn’t possess such as Bluetooth functionality, eArc, MiraCast, ability to add apps, and expandable storage space. I am also aware that some of these same features may not all be included in other QLED TVs as well which is an advantage.

3. It’s versatile. Do you want to listen with wired headphones or wireless earbuds? Would you like to download that same app from your phone/tablet onto the FireTV, stream it directly from your device, or just use MiraCast to show the entire screen? Would you like to just connect with a cable using that 4th HDMI input that you’ll probably have available? Connecting equipment and staying connected shouldn’t be a problem.

Overall, the F50 captures me more with what it can do rather than the things I wished it did better.

We love this TV it has a great image my son loves to play his ps5 because the graphics on this tv.

I love it

It looks and sounds amazing!!!

Great quality

Right away, you see the brightness and the colors out the box for me were just right, no adjustment needed.

Setup - Easy. Very self explanatory. Any updates are done right away. The remote has the main Apps you watch for movies, finally lol a personal preference of mine.

If you like using Alexa, the TV will be fun. I don’t use Alexa but it’s definitely convenient. I was able to sign in with no problem thru the TV with my Amazon account. If you have a FireStick then of course you use that.

Sound - I have a Yamaha sound bar and I connected it using a HDMI to the 1 ARC and it’s like they belong together, because the connection was flawless. In the past I would have to turn on the sound bar separately. Prior to connecting the sound bar, the TV speakers are decent enough for clarity with some bass but most TVs, it’s good to use a sound bar for that extra thump but if you don’t have one, the sound is loud enough.

Display - Colors are perfect. To me they are not over saturated. They have a nice warm but bright look. Red is Red.

Side viewing - The colors fade just a little, like it’s not as solid BUT the screen is still great for viewing. You don’t have to be in the middle to see solid colors. Mostly when I was on the floor watching looking up, that’s where I noticed the fading but at even levels no fading. Good with distance too.

Bezel - The Black bezel is perfect. It blends right in, like a stealthy look. Can’t believe I never had a TV with the black bezel, well I never paid attention to that. This is a must from now on.

Media - I have Apple TV and I have the latest model and right away, it recognizes the Dolby Vision and yes you can see the difference. It does look 4K still but the Q-LED experience/difference for me is the warmth and colors seem a little more richer. In the past, I did have a (2016 Model) Vizio P55-C1 and that was/is a beautiful TV. I will say the Blacks are a little darker vs the Insignia but this Insignia is a great replacement.

Overall, great TV. Comes on quick, no flickering, easy setup and in the future, I can’t wait to try some gaming! Without overly comparing, this Q-led is great with 4K HUD movies. Netflix, Disney, Apple TV+ movies are advertised as they should be. I also have a LG Ultra HD Blu-ray player.

Thank you Insignia.

Out of the box the TV for the price was fine however we have 4K channels and tonight was the first time using one and the color for 4K is dark and looks greyish.

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but I am def not happy with this being a 4K QLED I was hoping to take full advantage of the 4K feature and I cannot. I will be going to the store tomorrow to see if this is expected or if the tv is messed up.

In the images attached the commercial is a regular commercial and the baseball game is using 4K channel

Great picture, I love this TV. And the sound quality is excellent

Bought this to replace a Hisense that I bought last year. Excellent picture quality, easy setup, and fast OS. If you are able to catch it during the Black Friday Sale, it’s a very good deal.

This is our 3rd Samsung TV and it does not disappoint. Setup was easy, tons of free internet channels plus premium channels installed to access hours of entertainment. Game mode is awesome, its not as bright as other brands but it suits well for movies, gaming and more. Plus the price was unbeatable for a 70 inch Tv

Love the quality and picture. We bought this at a steal and very happy with our purchase.

GREAT VALUE! Great picture quality, returned a Insignia to purchase this one and huge diff in picture quality.

Very nice picture and big enough to fill a small wall.

My husband loves his new TV ---I love watching the Dawgs play football and the Braves play baseball --

This TV is awesome. Great size for the price. Very easy to setup and use. Picture is crisp and clear. You will definitely need a sound bar though.

Tv is wonderful great size amazing price this was a steal don’t hesitate to buy

Love the new screen. It fits perfectly on the wall

This is my 3rd TCL Roku tv, and I have been happy with each one. But this 85" has been the biggest surprise! I know it isn't the latest technology, so I wasn't expecting top quality. BUT, the picture is fantastic with bright, crisp whites, and perfect warm tones that do not fade into shadow. I was also prepared to purchase a sound bar later, but again, the sound is rich and full. As with all Roku devices, maneuvering through channel choices is incredibly easy. I am so glad that I did not buy one of the other 85" tv's at twice the price. I did not have to compromise on the quality. The extra $ was not necessary!!

Great tv. Great size and has a great picture. I highly recommend for its price

great speakers, easy setup, nice remote, feels durable, quality stand

I give Best Buy a five star rating it has everything u desire in one department

Remote does not have microphone.I had to buy new remote, abd pay for geek squad to set it up.I of course had to wait to get the appointment.The picture is not ad sharp as my 75 inch Hense.When you put it on pause it doesnt hold it long enough,and then it doesnt go on to the movie you were watching.

Love the size of this TV. IT is perfect for our conference room. the picture quality and sound are great.

Love it !!! Great Quality! Perfect size!!! Sounds great I was thinking about getting surround sound but honestly I don’t need it with this tv.

Great TV! No problems, football games look great!!

Horrible Tv!!! Two days after I brought it, the TV was showing Two line on the screen. I can’t wait to collect my money back!

I love the vizio tv so easy to use and the remote plain an simple to understand. And it have all the app you need so you dont need to download it

Found a great buy on a 75” Vizio TV. Ordered for Curbside Pickup. Everything went just smooth as glass. Could not have asked for a better experience. Thank You Best Buy!

Great TV. Only down side is sometimes you'll have sound and no picture or just a blank screen and have to turn it off and back on.

Great picture, super light and has 3 HDMI slots which I love.

So far no real major problem, exept for the volume kept going up for some reason all i had to do was unplug and plug the tv back in. Only happened one, picture is good.

Fantastic! The picture quality is great, and my fiance loves it!

I bought this soon after it was released, as I have a number of Fire and Echo devices and would like to integrate everything together. It's a nice TV, and the active HDR really brings a new life to everything, and there's plenty of adjustments available to tweak the picture. The negative .. Just like previous Fire 55" TV's I had tried, this OS did not support my four-year old Nakamichi soundbar running through HDMI ARC, which was very frustrating because that's a nice soundbar .. strangely, it operates perfectly connected to the 39" Insignia Fire TV I have with a much older OS. So I replaced that with a nice Vizio, which works just fine. Also, something different is that all the connectivity is on the left, rather than right, rear panel.

Amazon states that they are moving into Home Theatre devices, and I predict they'll release a soundbar to pair with this in the near future, as well as easy integration with Echo Studio. Overall it's been nice so far.. I'm hoping there aren't bugs and problems that sometimes occur with a new product line.

EXCELLENT PICTURE! I was shocked to see how good the picture quality is for Amazons first TV. The speed of the operating system is excellent as well. Highly recommend!

Easy to set up and great picture for the the price.

The ad shows this is a 42 inch wide tv. It is not. It is a 38 inch wide tv. Back to best buy it goes.
