[Electronics-Talk] Insignia TVS

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hi everyone,
I had an early model of the Samsung tv dating back to about 2015, I think.
Earlier this year, I had a power outage, and when the electricity came back
on, something happened to the tv where it turned off randomly. I called
Samsung tech support, and was told it was likely a power surge. I decided
to replace it with an Insignia fire tv. I found a great deal on a 32-inch
model for $149, and Amazon apparently has a partnership with BestBuy
because it was ready for pickup within two hours.
In general, I like the Insignia, but VoiceView is sluggish at times. I
don't know if this is due to my 5G Internet from T-Mobile or if there is
truly an issue with Voice View.
It reads the prompts pretty well but I noticed it doesn't read everything
that is on the screen.
For instance, pairing the tv with my Echo dot which is in my kitchen is
tricky because you have to press the menu button twice to unpair and then
presss the select button to confirm. Voice View does not provide those
prompts.
Since I am used to the Fire TV layout, I will continue with the Insignia,
but when it's time to replace it, I would probably go back to Samsung.
