I would recommend this to a friendDidn’t last a month
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV didn’t make it a month before the screen developed issues. At first a small dot, then each day I turned it on, there was a more expansive starburst limiting what you could even see. I missed my return window by mere days, and since it’s one inch over the limit, they wanted to send a tech out to my house. The TV is worthless, I just wanted a replacement or refund which Best Buy wouldn’t do. Do not recommend this brand or purchasing through Best Buy.

Incredibly slow
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 2 of these TVs since I have twins and both are the slowest TVs I have ever had. Pressing settings takes over 500 clicks to load, everything is a 30 second+ wait time to navigate on the menu. They are both brand new…it’s not storage, it’s the fire tv itself. I bought due to all of the great reviews and realized my mistake within 1 minute of plugging it in. Do not buy and save yourself the aging you will experience just to open Netflix and set a sleep timer,

NOT A HAPPY CAMPER
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.it would appear one of two things; I'm too stupid to set this TV up or it is defective. I know I'm not stupid!! This TV is for my brother who has Down Syndrome, Advanced Alzheimer's and recently suffered a stroke which left him hearing and vision impaired. But the only thing that makes him happy is to watch his Elvis DVDs and be able to manage the TV himself. Hard to do when the TV cannot be set up properly. Then, I finally request a human being to come check out the TV and I don't even get the opportunity to get to choose a good time for me to be sure my brother is awake. Didn't know there is no direct line to Best Buy either, just some bot who is connected to the Geek Squad. This is what progress has done; no longer cares about decent customer service.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDisappointed
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to like this since it seemed like such a great deal on paper. The fire tv software makes controlling this Insignia TV settings a slow nightmare. The tv also will not turn off when you use the remote to power off, it just puts on a screensaver. This took hours to try to turn off with no luck, as well as getting the HDMI-CEC to negotiate correctly with other devices. The settings are limited as it is. After troubleshooting, I figured it needed a reboot. Oh boy. Do not try factory resetting this. It got into a boot loop right away, and bricked the entire product. Aside from that, screen quality was basic, panel was bleedy at the edges. Without good firmware and software this TV isn’t a great pick. There are brands with their own in-house software and chips like Samsung, at maybe $50 more on sale, which does what it’s supposed to do. You get what you pay for in this case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendLags and delays
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv has lag/ delays for instance the mute symbol is stuck on although there is sound, hitting the button to turn off. When pressing the volume button its slow to turn down or up. Got it for a descent price and its in my kids room so it will do.

Posted .Hello Insignia Customer, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Insignia F50 Series TV. The lag you’re seeing, like the mute icon getting stuck on‑screen and the delayed response when adjusting volume or powering off, isn’t the experience we want for you, and we understand how inconvenient that can be, even if the TV is just being used in a kids’ room. Your feedback helps us identify where performance needs to improve, and we’re here to help you get this resolved. Our support team can take a closer look at what’s causing the delays and walk you through next steps at 877‑467‑4289 or insigniasupport@bestbuy.com. Thank you again for letting us know.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this newer cheaper version is worse than the last one. these get really hot, when using 4k 60hz, i dont recommend. the biggest issue is dealing with a broken 4 month old tv, will it be fixed, yes, i said fixed, most likely, but not easily or anything close to convenient. 100% the last best buy purchase.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend Umm... I wouldn't recommed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a lot of people are talking about this. I got this TV pretty cheap so I cant complain but I wish someone told me if I pause the TV (Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, etc.) for 10-15 min... it automatically turns off. I had this TV set up in my office for my cat but now no matter what I play for her, if the video ends... it turns off. Would not recommend.
