Great value
I really like this tv. It offers great value for the price and supports everything some of the highest end tvs offer. The 2 year warranty makes me feel better about taking a chance with a new brand.

Great TV, Great Experience
Bro I got an open box and it's brand new, no scratches no problems. The associate and I took the TV out to make sure it was in good condition and had all the parts. I saved $200 and this TV is amazing, nice and bright, the picture quality is amazing, the sound has great bass, treble and mids. Now I want to update all my tvs.

Best TV on market for sale price of $800
Excellent TV. I did a lot of research and waited for it to go on sale. Super dark blacks and no noticeable blooming. Reviews likened it to much higher end tvs. I believe best tv on the market for the sale price of $800. Still calibrating and tweaking it, but very happy with purchase.
