heavy. the brightness settings change by themselves. Screen fluctuates, it gets brighter, then dimmer, and user has done nothing. Battery discharges too quickly. Spend a few dollars more, or a few dollars less. Skip this one

I returned my Insignia tablet, I didn't care fore it.

You won't find a name brand tablet with these specs (quad core, HDMI, 5 mp camera and Android 4.4) for less than $300. This model (don't confuse it with the older Insignia 14T004) compares with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 or the iPad 2 or 3). The display is a 720p display which is VG. For those who might be thinking that their TV is 1080p and they don't want anything less, keep in mind that a lot of content is only 720p anyway. I'm coming from an iPhone & iPad which typically have a warmer color (more to the red) while the Insignia (and the iPhone 6) and many/most other tablets have a cooler color balance. It took me a little while to get used to the color balance but it produces an excellent picture. I never could figure out why phone & tablet manufacturers don't provide the ability to adjust the picture (color/contrast, etc.) like you can on a LCD/LED TV. Like almost all phones/tablets, the speakers don't put out enough power to listen to videos or music without earphones or an external speaker. The build quality appears to be very good but not excellent. The ON/OFF switch is too close to the volume up rocker switch which will take some getting used to and the USB/Power port and the HDMI port could be marked better to distinguish them. Like most screens, you will need a screen protector to prevent excessive finger prints/smudges on the display. Everything worked as expected out of the box and setup was quick. One of my "must have" specs was Kit Kat 4.4 which supports Google mirroring (might be called screen cast on other tablets) which this Insignia has. I have a Samsung smart TV which supports screen mirroring and the Insignia was easy to setup for mirroring and worked very well. With the mirroring, anything which showed on the tablet was displayed on the TV unlike the iPads where some content is blocked and you need Apple TV. With this feature as an example, I can access Comcast on demand on the tablet and watch the show on my TV. There was the slightest jitter on the TV display which you had to look for to notice. I think that I need a faster wireless router to prevent this because I think that the video goes through the router twice (internet -> router -> tablet -> router -> TV). Noticeable build quality issues were minor. The cutouts for the HDMI & USB ports in the case weren't as clean cut as could be, on some screens there was only the slightest cut off of the image on the very edge (not noticeable). The touch screen was very responsive and in most cases you could scroll or switch screens with no jitters or delays.

I looked at the LG G 10.1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. This was half the cost of the Samsung and cheaper than the LG, and has a faster processor. While also having all the updated technology (Android 4.4.2, Bluetooth 4.0, etc). Best deal I could find for a tablet without comprising on features! In fact I have 2 coworkers who are picking one up also.

I have had this tablet for a short time but I have found nothing bad about it. A few things that could be better. The speaker are on the back and there are very few accessories for Insignia. Screen and speed are super. Ease of use is GREAT.

Not a bad tablet for someone on a tight budget. It is a reasonably fast tablet with a nice, easy to read display. Good sound quality, but not very loud. If you're buying this to listen to music or watch YouTube videos I recomend Bluetooth speakers or headphones.

Good product, good specification at good price. good deal

I bought this tablet primarily to access email, write blogs, and watch Gaiam TV, FM TV, and YouTube videos in comfort vs. sitting at my desk to watch via my desktop computer. However, when I plugged in my Bose headphones they worked initially to hear the videos then within one to two minutes the sound died completely through the headphones (the headphones were not the problem) and I had to play with the plug, if I wiggled it or unplug and plug back in again the sound would again come to the headphones for about one minute then die again. I did this for one video and then went back to my desktop as this is not going to work for me. I am returning the product and buying an iPad. Also, the Chrome browser that comes loaded on this tablet does not provide 100% functionality with the Examiner.com form that I use to write my blogs. I was able to use it for email and notetaking pretty easily.

I bought this tablet as a gift for my elderly mother, hoping to be able to use it with Skype so that she can easily see her grandkids. Well, for whatever reason, Skype did not play nicely with this tablet, rendering it useless for it's intended application. After many installs, uninstalls, and reinstalls, I had to return it.

Wow waste of money two week old and both of my tablet screen are crack. Do not buy this tablet.
