Sweet Little TV
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Put this up in our outside patio. So far, we love it. It looks good. The sound quality will do, but we connected to another speaker via Bluetooth. It’s got some bass now. All the smart features seem to work well. All the apps we use worked perfectly. The price was good too. We caught it on sale.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had it for 3 weeks, not even a full month. And the picture on it went out today when I was using it. The sound was fine, the screen is lit up, but the screen is black. Disappointed because I bought it at full price too! I’ll change my review if they step up and fix it. When it was working, it was good. Bright, almost too bright, and the sound was good. But it shouldn’t be breaking after only 3 weeks, especially when it hasn’t even been moved since I put it up!

Cheap Flatscreen malfunctioned
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased 2 of these in March 2025. Both are mounted the other one works fine. Mine is just a black screen with sound now and It is only July. I do not appreciate paying so much for only 4 months of tv. This is not normal for a device to malfunction so quickly.

I HATE IT
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazon tries to shove their product down your throat and buries everything else many layers deep. This TV will always start up on Amazon, even though you closed on a different channel. I hate it. I was unable to adjust the picture quality xcept for backlighting. Brightness, contrast etc. were greyed out, could not be adjusted. UNACCEPTABLE. I hate it. And when you shut down the computer, this thing does not go on standby. It starts a darn screensaver from pictures on your computer! UNACCEPTABLE. Also, this TV somehow uploads tons of data to the router - SPYWARE. I HATE IT! I'm sending this back.

Sorry Sony But You’ve Been Replaced
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I have typically only bought Sony Bravias, they are just too costly. The Insignias have all the essential features I need for a fraction of the price.
