Saving money while still getting a quality product is always a good combination. For televisions, having a smart TV can help eliminate the need for an external device to access the Internet and broadcast content. In fact, a smart TV might make you question the point of streaming devices in the first place. Fortunately, Amazon has a selection of smart TVs under $100, many of which offer a fair amount of features for their price.

A good TV can still be had at a low price, and each one on this list has received great reviews from real customers. While you won’t find anything with 4K resolution on this list, all of these televisions have a resolution of 720p or higher, and each of them offers many of the features you’d expect from a smart TV, including access to streaming apps and media content. If you can, it might be a good idea to check out the 10 best streaming services worth your money before making a TV decision.

One of the best things about a cheap TV is that it can be great for filling up space in an extra room, while some of these devices score points with customers for being great in an RV or small space. Whatever you plan to use it for, each TV on this list comes with additional ports for peripherals and external devices, so it’s good to know that there are other uses for your smart TV’s USB ports.

The Hisense 32-inch Class A4 Series Smart Fire TV is available on Amazon for $97.99, and uses Amazon Fire TV to deliver streaming services and other features one would expect from a smart TV. While this device is Full High Definition, there is also a 720p option for $93.99, if you want to drop even lower in price. There are more than one reason why Hisense televisions are so affordable, but this one is backed up by strong customer reviews.

The 32-inch Hisense Smart Fire TV starts with a 1080p, 60 Hz LCD screen with a Full Array LED backlight, which the company promises will deliver a bright, sharp picture for media. For audio, the television comes equipped with DTS Virtual:X, which delivers virtual surround sound. Along with Amazon Fire TV, this model also has smart home support, three HDMI inputs, USB, Wi-Fi connection, and Amazon Alexa voice assistance.

In addition to earning an Amazon’s Choice nod, the Hisense Smart Fire TV has a 4.5-star rating from over 929 customer reviews. Users appreciate the device’s overall value, lifelike colors, and strong sound quality. If we look at the negatives, at least one user had a complaint that the TV itself has only one button, which can turn it on or off or access some quick settings. For those who like it bigger, Hisense sells the biggest smart TV on Amazon, but it costs about 200 times more than this one.

Amazon has the Insignia 24-inch F40 Full HD Smart TV available for $79.99, although it may be a lower price due to frequent sales. Like Hisense, this one also features the Amazon Alexa voice assistant and brings smart TV features thanks to Amazon Alexa. We can tell you everything you need to know about Insignia as a brand, including who makes them and where they are assembled.

Insignia’s 24-inch Smart Fire TV offers 1080p resolution with a 60 Hz refresh rate, Amazon Alexa support, and access to various streaming apps. Along with DTS Virtual-X Sound for immersive, 3D audio, this Insignia also supports HDMI ARC to send audio to an AV receiver or compatible sound bar directly through the HDMI port. Speaking of ports, this TV includes two HDMI ports, composite (AV), USB port, headphone jack, Wi-Fi, and coaxial jack for connection. It also has parental controls that can block content or edits at certain ratings, which can be accessed via a pin.

Along with earning Amazon’s Choice brand, this Insignia also has a 4.2 star rating with over 3,390 reviews. Users praise it for its solid image quality, quick setup, and easy-to-navigate remote control. However, some users report problems with the TV’s reprogramming, sometimes intermittently – although 82% of customers rate it 4 stars or higher. Insignia is also one of the most trusted TV brands according to consumer reports, so you’re getting a trusted brand name with this one.

If you don’t know, Sansui is a Japanese company founded in 1947. Originally known for producing premium audio electronics, the company has since expanded into televisions and other consumer products. For a TV priced under $100, the Sansui 32-inch VA Series Full HD Frameless Smart TV available on Amazon for $99.95, just made it onto this list.

Along with Full HD 1080p resolution and a refresh rate of 60 Hz, this 32-inch Sansui also has a bezel-less design that the company recommends as providing a great look, and this TV also has support for Dolby Vision HDR10 and Dolby Atmos for its audio and video. For connectivity, it features three HDMI ports and two USB ports, built-in Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity. This Sansui television also includes LG’s webOS for accessing a variety of streaming services and web browsing.

Rocking a 4.3-star rating and 185 user reviews on Amazon, customers appreciate this smart TV for its lightweight design, easy setup, and strong sound. However, many users report that the installed operating system can be slow for their liking. For those traveling, several customers have recommended this television for their RV, due to its light weight. Additionally, we ranked webOS second on our list of the best TV OSes based on user reviews, so you also get access to the smart TV’s strongest features.

Along with making sure that every television on this list is actually under $100, additional features also played into our thinking. Just because a product is cheap doesn’t mean you get to skimp on quality, so we made sure each of these items has a 4-star rating or more and is based on hundreds, if not thousands, of reviews from real users.

We also made sure to address some of the negative aspects of the device in order to keep things relevant. It also helps if the product has received Amazon’s Choice seal-of-app approval or if it ranks high on any of the company’s top products lists.
