    I will never buy an insignia device again. We purchased one on cyber Monday and by the middle of January the sound went out and all the HDMI ports went out, I took it back they replaced it for free without a protection plan which was so awesome on best buys part but yet again we have had it less than a month and it skips and pauses through shows but when a Roku is plugged in it streams just fine. There is definitely lots of flaws with this product. Never again.

    Useless Warranty

    I bought an extended to your warranty because this TV was going to be going into an assisted living center so the owner isn't the only person to have access to it. While out of the room, it developed stress fractures in the screen, cause unknown, a month after purchase and Best Buy will not honor any warranty because they don't cover physical damage, so the $150 for the TV plus the warranty are complete waste because now I have to shop for another TV to replace one that's only a month old.

    This product has a great picture and sound but it only lasted 19 days. It doesnt turn on anymore. When i hit power it flashes ans turns off. We tried unplugging it and pluging it back in. It has always been plugged into a gfci outlet dock so it isnt an issue of power from my house. Will be returning.

I dont undersand how in the world this tv had almost five stars! The tv lags and the menus move like i use dial up internet! I usually dont really write reviews but this is ridiculous!

    Clarity isn't the best. You get what you pay for. Regular streaming apps are ok. But 4k channels work best.

    Horrible experience. First Tv order didn’t work they sent a replacement it came with the screen broken. They said they couldn’t send another replacement. I’d have to get a refund. I’m still waiting on that & still no tv. Not happy with Best Buy at all

    Best Buy totally screwed up shipping. Then instead of fixing the issue, they simply refunded my order, without my knowledge and when contacted refused to give me the deal O got on this item on Cyber Monday! Clearly Bait and Switch …and illegal! This is how Best Buy treats customers, Wow, very telling.

    What I went thru in order to try and take advantage of the "black Friday deal" just simply wasn't worth it. I had to return my purchase in order to protect my purchase. You would think that I'd be offer the opportunity to repurchase a set of TV's at what was offered at the time of the deal.

    Order was canceled, and then offered to me at a higher price. Bait and switch. I called several times to rectify the lack in shipping to no avail even after I was promised it would ship.
