    I had a beautiful plasma tv and fell while moving it and smashed the screen. Bought this private label brand $300 TV at BestBuy and I have no complaints whatsoever so far. If you don't need all the bells and whistles of a > $500 TV, this is fine. Picture is sharp and bright and audio is better than expected.

    I've been researching different TV's and after quite a few trips to Best Buy, finally settled on the Insignia. TV is lightweight & set up was easy. Picture quality is really great. So far, really happy with my choice

    We were looking for a less expensive TV for the bedroom and this fit the bill. It won't get used too terribly much so I am not overly concerned about longevity. A little disappointing that it's only 60Hz refresh rate but that seems to be the standard for this price range/ size of TV. Of course it is very light and set up was a breeze. Obviously it is not going to look as good as our 4k Vizio in the front room , but for what we wanted this TV is almost perfect.

    I have had nothing but a good experience with this television. It was easy to install, the directions are easy to understand, and it was the right size for the room I put it in. The wall mount that I purchased fit the TV perfectly. I also love the color.

    I purchased this TV for my husband and again just like my mother, my husband is loving this new TV. The size the color and the price, all perfect. I don't think that I could have gotten a better deal.

    This was a great purchase. We were looking for a reasonably priced larger flatscreen HD tv and this fit the bill perfectly. The picture and sound are good and it's easy to use. The only thing that would've made it better was if it had a center stand as opposed to the separated feet.

    Excellent Blacks, Great for Gaming!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I'm very impressed with this televisions black level and screen uniformity! The motion performance is great for a 60hz television! The input lag on this television must be very good because I've experienced great Xbox 360 controller response! Here's why I didn't give this television a perfect score, the colors when calibrated don't seem to be very rich, there is very few calibration options in the user menu and the remote is on the cheap side. Here's some more positive information, the viewing angle seems to be better than my other Samsung Lcd-Led televisions but can't compare to the excellent viewing angle that Plasma televisions had, may they rest in peace. The feet(stand) of the television are nice and sturdy! I strongly recommend this television, excellent blacks and screen uniformity is hard to find in this price range!

    I've owned a 37" Insignia LCD tv since 2006 and it still works great! I was looking at 4K ultra hd units on line and decided to talk to someone on the Beat Buy team and got just what I expected "EXPERT ADVICE". I would have wasted money getting a cheaper brand for more money. This tv has a beautiful picture and great sound without accessories. Thanks again Best Buy!

    We returned a 40" Samsung TV and upgraded (in size) to this. I know we were paying for name brand and I actually like Samsung, but the TV was not what we were expecting. Anyway, this TV is great the picture quality is good and you have remember that the refresh rate is 60. When streaming LIVE you will have to wait for the picture to clear (not all the time, though. I find that waiting for a clear picture during live streaming happens when I watch on my laptop, too, hence this is not a unique issue). The sound is ok. If you want surround sound for a home theater, by a sound bar. If it's a large room, in your opinion, by the sound bar. If you're watching OTA (antenna), you'll still need your antenna.

    To be honest, I really didn't have that high of expectations for an Insignia brand TV, but for the sale price during the holidays I thought I'd give it a try (Insignia can be a hit or miss). But this turned out to be so much better! The picture is clear, the sound is great, and it's simple to navigate and set up. My family loves it...especially going from a 32" 720p to a 48" 1080p TV, it's like an IMAX in our living room, ha. It's only been a couple months of using this TV, and so far, highly satisfied. And highly recommend it! Perfect for normal everyday use...without all the crazy extras of a "smart tv" or whatever stuff we didn't need.

I came back for a exchange but they were sold out so i had to find another. well im now glad i did because this insignia is way better than anything else i tried! the picture is very clear and vibrant. and settings are so easy to adjust . my dad has been buying this brand for years now and i will be also. you will not regret buying this tv.at just over $330 it was a great deal.

    Had this TV for about a month now and it's great, especially the price! Thought it might be too small in comparison to other display models in store, but once I got it home it was the perfect size for my small living room, 55" would've been too big. Did I also mention how great the price was? ;)

    We upgraded from a many-years-old 32-inch LCD that probably cost the same amount new. I was wary of the house brand TV, but so far this has been a good purchase. Not the fastest refresh rate, but for streaming services, Blu-ray, and gaming, it's a great, inexpensive upgrade for the living room.

    Crystal clear and easy to use. Love that it measured exactly the same as my 40" tv (screen goes all the way to the edge, no frame taking up space). Could use more than two HDMI plugs, but knew,that going in. Didn't find it worth the extra money for TV's with more. Would definitely recommend - great sound too.

    I had been looking for so long and never thought I could afford a great TV, My budget was around $ 300.00 and I am picky so had passed the Black Friday sales for years, because nothing excited me and was not going to settle for less. I wanted a 48 inch and GREAT quality. I have a big Insignia old time fat one here and it has been good to me for years, but I wanted a Samsung or other top brand. All over sudden I stumbled upon the reviews on this one on the Best Buy site since I have good experience with Insignia I thought I check it out in the store in person to see if the quality was as good. I went to the store and in the line up right away I spotted this picture, super sharp, beautiful colors and great sound. It pooped out. I could not believe it, better than Toshiba or Samsung. I went home to order order it and wanted to do the 6 month no interest payment plan. It got declined so I decided not to go for it. I was so sorry I did not. Black Friday had the best price and I missed out. I was so bummed I should have gotten it, week went by and could have kicked myself, so I stumbled upon an Open Box one at the outlet and snatched it up. Best purchase ever. LOVE my TV so much, it is really thin, great sound and the picture OMG, love watching movies again!
