Good first tv
Amazing tv, lasting me 3 good years and had no problem with any electrical or anything. It’s a great tv for a basic 1080p. But it’s time for a upgrade for me.

A great 1080p 60Hz regular TV with good sound-but:
I am pleasantly amazed at the way Insignia continues to come up with great TVs at outstanding prices. A better than you might expect picture, good sound, sufficient connectivity and an intelligent mix of features provide lots of "bang per buck" with this TV. I am concerned that the entire consumer electronics sector (Best Buy and Insignia included) are trending towards more fluff and less fact when it come to product descriptions and specifications. Each year the information available in "specifications" sections becomes scanter and less relevant. This year's 40" Insignia (item number suffix NA-18) shows the Tuner as being "digital'. The list of specific tuners built into the TV are not shown as part of the specifications as was the case in previous years. I had to go to the Insignia web site and download the user guide to learn this years' 40" Insignia does not incorporate the 8-VSB tuner yet still had the NTSC analog (not digital) tuner. My problems have nothing to do with the exclusion of the 8-VSB tuner. My problems are the somewhat misleading claim that the tuner was only "digital" and that only those those with internet access could discover which tuners were part of the NS040 package.

Nice TV
Our first flat screen TV (Insignia™ - 40" LED 1080p HDTV). We have basic cable and not interested in streaming, so this fit our needs well. Great over-the-air pictures, but have trouble with getting 6-WLNS, Fox-47, and 10-WILX, but may be the antenna. Those that come in, are great, but if I tune for 10, then I may lose others. Of course it's so-so with our low-def standard cable, but that's not the TV's fault. Nice improvement for DVDs and new Blueray player. Good features for switching between devices; good multiple inputs and outputs. Hooked up a small Bluetooth wireless transmitter via optical and USB for power and I can run to headphones and/or speaker near my chair to not disturb others; TV's sound runs independently, so others can also listen, if desired. I love how I can run Blueray player using TV's remote with no programming. Overall a nice TV for modest use.

Love the Price
Purchased this 40 inch TV for a cottage.. very happy with size, HD, brightness & picture quality. Can not bet the price.... It weights only 20 lbs... perfect for hanging on wall.

Great basic HD TV
The Insignia 40" HDTV was just what we needed. It was easy to set up, and the color was good. I preferred to change to "vivid" since the colors were brighter in a low light environment. The sound quality is really good as well. I have both Dish and indoor antenna, and switching between the two is easy. I am actually receiving more digital channels over the antenna now, and the picture quality is super. So far, very pleased. Nice HDTV for the price.
