    I bought the same model about a year ago, of course I bought the 5-year Geek Squad protection plan mainly because I was new to insignia and I did not know what to expect, well I'm happy to report that I'm So Satisfied with its overall performance that I bought a second one, same size, 55 inch, to run as an extended monitor right next to it. Now I can watch TV on one and surf the Internet on the other plus so much more. They may not have a lot of bells and whistles but that's not what I needed and some people complain about the sound but I think the sound is adequate for my needs, I like the theater sound setting the best, and while my eyesight may not be the greatest at 50 years old, (no I do Not wear glasses), I think they have excellent picture quality and I like the movie picture mode the best. So if you want a big screen TV/Monitor for an unbelievable price this is the one I would recommend.

    The color is phenomenal as is the sharpness and sound. You can't beat the price and the free delivery service! If you're looking for a good tv this is a purchase you won't regret. It's good value all around.

    When I saw this TV's sale price, I read up as much I could about it and asked I.T. friends about. All signs pointed to the belief that it was an excellent TV on a budget. The main criticism in its early years on shelves was the picture color and quality. I've christened it today with a Phish concert in Rivera Maya, an exquisite color scheme to test this TV's vibrancy. It was gorgeous. Hands down. Nothing looked bland and the picture was clean. I opted to get the 5-year Geek Squad protection plan because any negative reviews said that common breakdowns occurred within the first year, and with a TV this big, any out-of-pocket expenses would be gross. I've had it less than a day, but I love it already!

    Went back and fourth on what brand of big flat screen to buy. Ready SO many reviews and looking for the best deal. Tried buying a 50" at Best Buy and having it shipped. That one arrived severely damaged. Had to take that back. That was a blessing in disguise. Used the same money and got this 55", and LOVE IT!!! Great price, great SIZE and AMAZING PICTURE!!! Would definitely recommend to buy again :)

    A great value in a no-frills set. It's exactly what I wanted to hook up an Apple TV. So, I didn't need the TV to be a "smart tv" loaded with Apps and other features that raise its cost. I needed a basic monitor to complement the Apple TV and provide programming over the internet via DirectTV Now. A perfect match!

    TV has a great picture and sound. The Best But installation team was able to route everything through my cable box so I only have one remote. So far, I am very happy with this TV. Only problem is that there is a delay when I first turn it on.

    This TV had more inputs than any other similar TV. Much cheaper in price just as good of TV. The only thing I did not like is I had to buy a soundbar but that is the normal with this style of TV.

    I picked out a 48 inch on line seamed like a good one. When I went to The store I walked past a 55 inch TV for only $329. Real good picture ! can't go wrong at this price

    "3 stars, for this 3hundred $ale price LED"

    I had to replace my wall mounted 10 y/o 42" 1080 LCD set (visible screen burn/dead pixel pattern). I settled for this insignia, as I was limited to VESA 200x200 wall mountable sets. This was one of the few 55" that used VESA 200. This is my 2nd Insignia LED TV, so long term quality is not a concern (using certain credit card with free extended warranty was a plus!). "out of box" preset picture modes are NOT the best, but after a quick custom calibration best picture quality achieved. I say quick because at this price point not many expert settings available in submenu. the picture quality is decent, just don't expect a great picture like in 4K sets (I also have a "Sa*Sun*" 6 series 4K screen which blows this 1080s quality). But for less than half the price of my other LED, this insignia beats it for value. My image is based on OTA HD antenna receiving 1080i, 720p, and 480p signals. I also have a standard Blu Ray player (HDMI) and a Roku 2 (HDMI), so my picture quality assessment is based on these 3 picture sources. Screen glare is average, not very glossy to produce distractions. "Off angle" viewing does not produce sharp cutoff in picture quality as compared to other name brand sets. The "Dolby DTS" sound is actually better than expected, the decent sized rear speaker placement also improves sound. when playing a Blu ray with master Dolby DTS audio VS 5.1 track, difference is noticeably better. The basic stubby remote control does not light up, but a few buttons are glow in dark. This Insignia 55" has a rather high energy rating of $28/year (name brands of this size are more efficient). according to the online specs in manual, this has a power consumption of 144W. Conclusion: VALUE!, for the price nothing beats this 55" Insignia set as 1080 55" sets are becoming rare: 4K sets are becoming the norm. get them while you can.

    For the price you get a great basic TV. The sound is low, the pic is decent. We use it in the living room and have been satisfied. We use netflix and sling TV via firestick so I don't know how it'll look with actual cable, no different I'd assume.

    A decent basic TV. Lasted about 2 1/2 years with heavy use before parts of the screen started turning blue. Of course this was a few months after my two-year warranty expired. I paid about $430 for it in 2017, now it’s about $330 I think. For that price you could get something that will (hopefully) last longer and has more features. I’d skip this one.

    I bought this tv for my parents back in 2016 and now the tv screen is turning a blue shade. My mother is 70 and my dad is 81 and they are having issues seeing the tv. I bought the TV for them but now they can barely see it I am very disappointed as my parents are now saying that I should not have bought brand TV. Wondering if anyone else is having the same issues. If not, is there any way that I can be helped with this issue? I would appreciate any help. Thanks

    DO NOT BUY THIS TV!!!! I have only had this TV for a year and a few months and the entire screen turned blue.. It does it slowly so that your warranty is no good!! It starts right around a year but you can barley see it so your warranty is done and 3-4 months later the whole screen has a blue tint.. 3rd Insignia to do this!!
