Insignia™ - 55" Class - LED - 1080p - 120Hz - HDTV

We have had this TV for over 6 years and have never had a problem with it. It is just as good as the name brand TV but at a much better price.

After researching for 55" LED TV's for over 2 weeks my wife and I decided to go with the 55" Insignia LED TV from Best Buy. We were wanting to get a larger tv for our family room and were not looking for a 3D or SMART tv. We only use this tv with our HD satellite box and the blu ray player. We are extremely pleased with the Insignia...Sure we could have paid $300-$800 more for the Samsung or LG but this tv is a great bargain. Once we got the tv up over the fireplace I turned it on for the first time #right out of the box so no calibrations or setting changes# we both said "WOW" at the same time. It almost looks 3D on some of the channels. Here are our pros and cons: Pros 1) Excellent Picture 2) Great Price 3) Easy set up 4) For such a large tv it is very thin and lightweight 5) SRS Surround Sound is amazing thru your Home theater system 6) Ability to change setting and ease of use of remote Cons 1) Sound just from tv is not good 2) Still some screen blur at times #tv is slow to correct but does# Overall this is an excellent LED tv and we would have given it a 4.5 out of 5 if that were an option. We did purchases the 4yr warranty just for peice of mind and at $129 this is a great price. We bought the tv at the Best Buy store and the customer service was excellent. We went in to see if the tv was in stock and the associates confirm it was and if we had other errands in 15-20 mins it would be ready. We did since finishing upm Christmas shopping and when we came back 30 mins later it we were met at the front door with the tv. Finished the transaction and out the door in 10 mins...Treating customers like this is what keeps them coming back.....

I was a little bit on the fence about the insignia brand at first,but not anymore. This TV is a great bang for the buck. Of course like with any TV you have to get it set right. One you do the picture is amazing and vibrant. I play PS3 and XBOX360 as well and it looks fantastic with games like Skyrim and Rage. It has a game mode,but i think i prefer to use my custom settings. It has a 24p film mode you can turn on too for movies if you want. I have mine hooked up to a receiver with optical so i don't use the TV sound so sound quality is not an issue. The sound on the TV itself is just ok,but not bad. Overall this is a great value if your looking for a huge TV For a fraction of the price.

I purchased this tv a week ago and just upgraded my cable to HD and this tv exceeded my expectations for being an Insignia Best Buy brand compared to the other name brand tv's. Although I am not too surprised in its performance knowing that Samsung makes the Insignia tv's. For the price, picture quality and sound, you really cant get a better deal with this size of tv and it being an LED. Compared to the other name brand tv's, the picture was better when I looked at them on the Best Buy showcase in the store. Compared to its name brand maker, Samsung, there really wasnt a difference in the picture either. So I decided to go with the Insignia LED 55" and save some money and still get a great tv. The sound quality is what you would expect with any tv but gets the job done if you dont have a home theater system. I have a home theater system hooked up in my set up so when I watch movies and things like that I use the home theater, but regular tv watching the sound is just fine. I would highly recommend this tv to anyone who wants a great deal and get superb performance.

Just got this LED TV today as a Xmas present to myself..lol. Was a snap to set up in just a few minutes. Picture is very vibrant, colors are great and sound is wonderful. I do suggest spending the extra few $$$ to buy the 4 yr. service. The Best Buy service plan is second to none and well worth the money in case you have a problem. For the money spent you just cannot beat this LED TV and I looked and studied for a long time before making my purchase, At the present sale price it is a steal!!!!

Couldn't beat the price point. The sound is par for similar TVs, you won't a flat screen that sounds any better than this. The sound is fine for every day use. Picture quality is acceptable for the price. There is a bit of ghosting and it struggles a bit with black shades - for me the minimal ghosts and black shade issues are small enough that I'm happy to deal with them at the price point. Other brands are significantly more and while better, still have issues with black shades and gohsting. If you're not a videophile I would give this go before over spending. I got a killer TV and 4yr coverage plan for at least $300 less than name brand. Will update if things happen to wrong with the product.

was iffy on getting an insignia, but glad i did now. now i am not like the other reviewers, who came from a basic non-hd tube set to this... of course this is going to be amazing for them... any HD set will be for them. I although have come from multiple HD tv's... from a sony LCD, LG LCD, and samsung plasma. This TV is still amazing for me. Even though my previous TV's were all name brand, the price difference on this one was too much to ignore. Plus, after getting non-name brand computer monitors that have all worked flawlessly, i started believing the market and technology is now good enough on all levels, so I gave in to try this insignia. Though its my first LED, we have some high end ones at work. The picture is as amazing as the samsungs at work... great colors and picture quality. The sound isn't so great as with any of these, but thats what a sound system is for, but its fine for normal day to day tv. this one though has no special things like smart TV or internet apps, but thats fine... hooking up a laptop works perfect and if i really want apps i'll buy a roku... which is still much cheaper than having a TV with it built in. with the price difference of a TV with internet apps, you might as well buy a PS3 (i just don't play video games or watch blu rays so i'll stick with a roku. overall very glad i got this instead of a higher priced samsung or LG...

Saw the review below about this tv "not being a real LED, just a LCD backlit with LED." All LED tvs--even the expensive ones-- are LCD tvs backlit with LEDs. Either that person did absolutely no research before dropping $800 on a TV, or was given poor help. It's a shame, too, because for $800, this tv is an incredible value. No, it's not going to blow your mind with the picture, but it will compare very nicely with TVs that cost 35% more. I'm consistently impressed with the Insignia brand...you definitely get more than what you pay for.
