The Insignia was plagued with motion blurring until we turned off all the video processing that comes enabled by default, and even then, it still had bad viewing angles – moving too far from the center of the screen introduced some unwanted color shifting. Both are accurate enough that you won't be constantly irritated by bad color, but the limited gamut on both will leave the resulting picture still feeling a bit lackluster. In terms of test results, that's sort of a wash. The Toshiba wasn't much better, producing 95.0% of the color spectrum, but surprising us with a 1.7 Delta-E rating, meaning that it has noticeably better accuracy than the Insignia. The Insignia suffers from limited color reproduction, producing just 96.68% of the Rec 709 color spectrum, and offering a Delta-E score of 2.7, indicating decent color accuracy. It's not an uncommon approach to cheaper TVs, but if you're expecting something impressive just because it bears the Amazon name, you'll be a bit disappointed.

Toshiba Fire TV vs Insignia Fire TV: Displayīoth the Insignia and Toshiba Fire TV models work under the same basic philosophy: Good enough. Both include an HDMI ARC connection for connecting a soundbar, but neither one has the newer HDMI 2.1 connection (or required feature support) you might want to get the most out of a new game console. Both TVs offer USB ports, coaxial connections for antenna and cable, and composite video inputs. When it comes to port selection, the Toshiba again has a slight edge, offering 4 HDMI ports to the Insignia's 3 ports. Affordable TVs aren't known for their sleek stylings or premium materials, and most cheap TVs have the same generic looking black plastic construction. Whether it's the Insignia F30 model or the Toshiba C350, both are inexpensive TVs that use basic plastic construction. Toshiba Fire TV vs Insignia Fire TV: Design The result is a pretty decent set of smart TV features, packed into some of the most affordable 4K TVs on the market.
#TOSHIBA FIRE TV SOFTWARE#
Fire TV Edition smart TVs put this Amazon-powered software into a smart TV instead of a separate streaming device. It's the same software used on other Fire TV devices, like those seen in our Amazon Fire TV Stick review or Amazon Fire TV Cube review, two of the best streaming devices you can get. So what exactly is Amazon Fire TV? It's Amazon's answer to streaming platforms like Roku, built around Amazon's Alexa and Amazon-owned services like Prime Video, IMDB TV, Twitch, while also supporting third-party apps, like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and many, many more. The Insignia also tends to be a little cheaper, at least when looking at normal, non-event sales prices. But as loss-leaders, subsidized by retail giants like Amazon and Best Buy (Fire TV is Amazon's smart TV platform, and Insignia is Best Buy's store brand), they can be bought for a song anytime there's a sales event, and that makes them some of the most popular TVs around.īut you'll notice one big difference between the Insignia and Toshiba models listed here: There are more size options for the Insignia than the Toshiba, which tops out at 55 inches. As inexpensive TVs, they're always a decent affordable option. They are always being discounted a little bit, but they make a big splash whenever there's a big sale, such as Black Friday, or Amazon Prime Day, with sale prices dropping to the lowest of the year so that retailers can grab headlines with 4K TVs selling for crazy low prices.Īnd that's where the Fire TVs really shine.
#TOSHIBA FIRE TV FULL#
I say "recommended retail price" because I've rarely seen either brand of Fire TV sold for full price. Available in 43, 50 and 55-inch sizes, the most expensive model is just $469 through Best Buy, despite its recommended retail price of $519. The Toshiba C350 is also quite affordable, with similarly low prices that make it a mainstay of our best TVs under $500 page.
