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.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Less than 3 months oldand screen went out with horizontal lines all across it! Best buy refers to "manufacturers warranty". Best Buy OWNS INSIGNIA!! Now waited for in home repair of CHEAPLY MADE TV! Totally dissatisfied with Insignia and Best Buy. Will never purchase another.

Can't Turn It Off
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a recent software upgrade you can no longer physically turn the TV off. It's so bizarre that I don't know what else to say. I can only assume this decision from the manufacturer is to further listen to & track users. Regardless, except that this TV is going into the trash after only 6 months and we're buying from somewhere else.

Skip this one
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The tv freezes up and i have to unplug it to get it back on. It will error and say something is unavailable. I turn on my apple TV and its seamless. Having a smart tv is pointless when its slow and wont fucntion properly. The one good thing is it lets me use the tv remote to operate the apple tv instead of having to use that one but unfortunately not my sound bar.

Disappointed. Bricked after 2 weeks.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked fine for 2 weeks. During the 3rd week a box appeared on the screen that said it was attempting to log in to xfinity. We never set it up for internet, and the box will not go away. Have tried hard reboots, power cycling and every remedy on YouTube or the web. Basically bricked at this point.

STUPID INSIGNIA 42"
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This television was delivered to my home this morning at 8:27am, and here it is 12:27pm and it's not working, and has not been since we hooked up. I've asked the geek squad to replace it with a Samsung however, they can't until 12-14 hours from the delivery date. What the heck Best Buy??? It's a smart tv I personally think it's a stupid tv.

Not a great picture
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picture refresh was really delayed. Was like watching in a fog. Attempted to reset and use different wifi. The control's for the picture would not work. Believe it was just a bad unit. Took back and got the Roku. Much better quality.
