Smart TVs that utilize voice-assisting technologies such as Alexa and Google Assistant are now all the rave. A TV that allows you to use your voice to browse through your favorite shows is what everyone needs after a long day at work. However, for those running a tight budget, this poses a problem since these TVs could cost an arm and a leg.

Fortunately, a number of well-known brands are now making comparable TVs that bring the same picture quality, crisp and clear sound and smart functions at less than a thousand bucks. Some require compatible home devices for you to browse through your favorite shows using only your voice. Some come with a special remote that does the same thing. Some already have the voice-assisting technologies built-in. Whatever your needs are, here are the 5 best smart TVs under $1,000 to solve them.
