Poorly made I know its cheap but look elsewhere
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly this tv is terrible laggy, poor audio quality, below average video quality, and it doesn’t pick up wifi signal well either. All the other electronics I own work perfectly but this tv is a huge bust. I just wish I did more research before purchasing.

White boy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought from Amazon, analog antenna input fitting was loose and tv wouldn't pick up any channels. I was directed to visit my local best buy for an exchange. I called the store and they assured me the TV was in stock and no problem to exchange. I arrived to find major conflict with the Annapolis MD best buy. Took an hour for them to "approve" my exchange. Very disappointed...

Not even worth pawning
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I honestly regret buying this TV. The HDMI ports are very sensitive and often say that there's no signal. The menu is so difficult to navigate. It takes so much scrolling to find the apps you want to use. If I could return it, I would. At this point, I don't think even pawning it would be worth it. I couldn't live with myself that someone got stuck with this awful TV after me.
