    The television in and of itself is fine it’s a quality product. I’m just not a fan of the Firestick OS.I find it cumbersome and clunky

    This is definitely a get what you pay for scenario. Picture wuality is horrible. There are bleeding artifacts everywhere. I suppise that is whatvyou get for a $129 40” TV. My adice is dont be swayed by the cheap price. Spend a little more for sone that has some assemblance of picture quality.

    I’ve had this TV for almost 3 months. After a month of having this TV, I’ve experienced this tv turn off & on countless times. I’ve been on Google, Reddit, factory reset, update anything you can think of; I tried to see if it’ll stop the tv from cutting off & on. Even trying a Ethernet cord to see if that would work. Nothing works! If anyone ever thinks about getting this TV, I would definitely research & double think before buying this TV. It sucks! & I’m highly disappointed!

    Showed up a few days before going on vacation and couldn’t give attention to it for a week after we returned because I work full time and I’m a mom. Took it out of the box and there’s a huge hole in the bottom corner and Best Buy won’t replace it because it was past the 15 day warranty. BTW, the 15 day warranty starts the day you buy it, not once you have it in your possession. I’ll change my review when I can actually plug it in and review the product

    Product worked for about 2 weeks before it was unable to connect to WiFi. Sent it out to get it repaired, worked for 1 day and is broken again. The tv is completely useless if it can’t connect to WiFi. Also don’t factory reset it if u want your remote to connect because it will also stop working.

      Thank you, Jays, for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it is when a TV enters sleep mode unexpectedly, especially when there is no simple fix in the settings. Some users have reported similar issues, and troubleshooting steps such as adjusting sleep timer settings or exploring alternative power management options may help.

    Sound barely works half the time. Will start up tv, sound will not work. Turning on and off will not make sound work. You have to physically go into the tv settings, and go to restart tv to make the sound work. Pretty awful for just buying it.
