50" Class (49-1/2" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - HDTV

I wanted the Sharp TV for $399, but I also expected it to be out of stock, so I decided on this as a back up choice, knowing that, if everything else run out of stock, Best Buy would ALWAYS stock Insignia. I connected it to my PC with a mixed result: For Netflix, and other video stream, lovely, it's a TV after all. For Playstation 3: My PS3 LOVES this TV. For Computers: This is where I run into issues, the display is considerably worse than my 28" LED monitor...I don't know if it was the size or what not, but the resolution and colours seem off. So my verdict, this TV should really be rated as TV and not as Computer Monitor.

Fantastic picture once tweaked for personal preference. Audio delay from optical out (which must be set to RAW, not PCM for 5.1), but this is avoided by sending signal directly from cab/sat box to sound system. I'm not one who minds the hyper-realism of 120 Hz on most material but it is easily defeated by those who do.

This TV has a very good picture. Can't beat it for the price considering it was the same price as the 47" model.

To sum it up, my last inexpensive TV had horrid sound quality. It sounded like a 40mm headphone driver in a soda can. This Insignia had the opposite. Fantastic sound quality even at high volume. My Dad is slowly losing his hearing (He's only 50 >.>) so he watches everything at very loud volume. The picture quality was outstanding as well. Watching something at 120hz after being used to 60hz my entire life really changed my standards for watching TV. It made a great Christmas gift though. A nice upgrade over his old 50" huge console tv. If gaming on this, be sure to set the picture mode to "Game." It reduces input lag by a large margin. Seriously, before doing that, playing Super Smash Bros. Wii U was next to impossible. I thought my new controllers were to blame =P

I returned a Samsung 40" to a competitor after I brought this TV home and tried it out. First let me say that the Insignia is no Samsung TV. The quality and size of this TV did sway me enough to return the Samsung because I wanted a larger TV for my Xbox1. The graphic detail of the games on the Insignia are great and Blu-Ray movies compare to the Samsung. In some ways the Insignia is better overall in visual quality. The Samsung was so vivid and rich with color detail during game play that it over powered some of the what the artist put into the game. The Insignia is vivid but more subtle allowing you to see what the artist had intended. The games most played is "Destiny" and "Forza Horizon 2". Destiny looks better on the Insignia while Forza looks better on the Samsung but marginally so. It was the lighting that was the difference. Daytime was sharper and crisper on the Samsung while nighttime is better on the Insignia. Blu-Ray movies were spot on with each other that I could not tell them apart. I used James Cameron's "Avatar" for comparison as it is a movie with a lot of color depth and was filmed in 4k although on 1080p you see none of that. The HDMI cord is a "Black Platinum" Monster cable instead of what came with the Xbox. Let me tell you that the picture detail is night and day better with the Monster cable. The biggest complaint I have with the Insignia is gradients. It can not do gradients while the Samsung can and do so with brilliance! That may not seem like much but it almost caused me to return it in favor of the smaller Samsung. Sound quality is another area that separates the brands quite effectively. The Samsung has ok sound reproduction but you have to turn the volume up to what I think should be louder than necessary to hear it. The Insignia, however, has better than ok sound and at a acceptable level. For those looking for great sound look to a sound bar or a full fledged home theater setup. These are cheap TV's. If you want movie theater sound from a TV look elsewhere and do some demo testing and even then you may still want to spend the money on a home theater setup. Overall the insignia is a good purchase with good gaming visuals and great Blu-Ray playback! The sound is also better than ok and doesn't take much before it becomes too loud! Also one last thing. You will want to set the Insignia picture quality to "vivid", first. Then you will also, under advance video, want to turn Over scan Off, have the Dynamic Backlight#DCR# set to high, and Insignia Motion to Ultra Smooth. This will change the picture quality to custom, but set the all the other settings where you want them. Otherwise the TV is rather dull and lifeless in my opinion. I hope this helps!

Excellent picture and decent sound. This is my 2nd Insignia flatscreen and my first one has outlived my other, not as old, name brand units. Mine is connected to my home theatre system so the speakers are turned off but I did find them to be adequate. I shopped and shopped and for me this is still the best unit for the money.

I have had this TV going on two weeks now and I could not be more happy. I purchased this TV because a majority of the reviews were positive with only a few that were bad. Sure this is Insignia and the quality may not be a Samsung or LG but I knew this when I purchased. As for the picture...it is AWESOME. The factory settings out of the box were pretty bad but after a little research I used the following settings: Picture: Backlight - 50 Brightness - 50 Contrast - 50 Color - 50 Tint - 0 Sharpness - 0 Advanced Settings: Overscan - Off Dynamic Backlight - Off Insignia Motion - Off (my preference) Color Temp - Normal Noise Reduc - Off Adaptive Contrast - On After entering these settings I have to say I can not tell the difference between this and my brother-in-law's 55 inch Samsung. Like I said before, I know its an Insignia how long it will last? Only time will tell - but for only $69 for a five year warranty - cant go wrong. I bought this on sale for $350 and saved nearly $300 from what I was looking at. Worth the gamble in my opinion. Couldn't be more happy - the picture is unbelievable. Hope this helps!

I purchased this tv about 2 weeks ago after returning a RCA tv. It was easy to configure the picture to my liking and the picture is pretty good. It has 3 HDMI connections which I was looking for in a 50 inch tv. This TV shows just as well as my LG tv with 120HZ. I haven't found any dislikes yet. I would recommend this tv to anyone who is looking for an above avg. tv with a really good picture.
