Save $70: As of March 21, Amazon Fire TV 40-inch 2-Series HD Smart TV is available for $179.97 at Amazon. That’s 28% off its list price of $249.99.

I think every room deserves a TV. Especially if that TV is just $179.97 and happens to be smart, compact, and secretly a Fire TV. Amazon Fire TV 2-Series (40-inch model) is down 28% right now, bringing it well under the $200 mark. That makes it perfect for bedrooms, guest rooms, college dorms, or your kitchen if you’re feeling fancy.

No, it’s not 4K. But unless you’re sitting six inches from the screen, HD is more than fine on a 40-incher. You still get HDR10 support, Dolby Digital Audio, and a built-in Fire TV OS that knows what it’s doing. With over 1 million movies and TV episodes across Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, and all the usual suspects, you’ve got endless content to ignore while scrolling TikTok.

I love that you can bounce from one Fire TV to another and everything syncs up – start watching something in the living room, finish watching it in bed. The Alexa Voice Remote makes it weirdly fun to ask for weather updates or launch “The Office” reruns with your voice. It’s basically a TV and a smart home hub had a baby.

  • Price: $179.97 (Was $249.99)

  • Retailer: Amazon

  • Display: 40-inch HD (1080p) LED

  • HDR: HDR10, HLG

With two HDMI ports and a third HDMI ARC input, it’s not short on plug-and-play options either. So yes, you can connect your console, your streaming stick (not that you’ll need one), or even your retro DVD player. Live your truth.

Look, this isn’t a home theater masterpiece. It’s not meant to be. It’s a reliable, no-fuss smart TV that does its job, looks good doing it, and costs less than a decent pair of headphones. That’s my kind of deal.
