Great quality for the price
I’m very happy with this TV. The picture quality is excellent with vibrant colors and sharp resolution. The sound is clear and loud enough for a medium-sized room, although it also works great with a soundbar. Setup was very easy and quick, and the smart features run smoothly without lag. It has a sleek, modern design that looks great in my living room. Streaming apps load fast and the remote is simple and user-friendly. Overall, this TV exceeded my expectations for the price.
