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...
