    This is the third TV we've owned using the Roku platform, and we've become fans of this streaming device. Besides the great picture resolution, I'm loving the way in which our Roku televisions (including this one) all connect seamlessly to our internet, and the apps cooperate by loading fairly effortlessly. I'm impressed by the way in which our basic Roku information is transferred when I log into the app and how easy it is to navigate. I do have a couple of suggestions: I had some trouble getting our Dish remote to recognize the Pioneer set, even after inserting the model number, but it did work when I tried the RCA Roku selection (no idea why, but hey, it works). The other is that if you want an app (for us it's the Dish connection) to load on startup, from your home screen go to Setup, System, Power, and then select whatever you want to see when you first power on your set. The set also connects intelligently with our separate speaker, something our old Samsung refused to do without putting up a fight.

      Hi there, thank you so much for the thoughtful breakdown! Really glad the Roku platform continues to work smoothly for you, sounds like you’ve built a great setup across your home. Appreciate you sharing the Dish remote workaround and the startup tip; that kind of real‑world detail helps others a lot. Happy to hear the TV plays nicely with your speaker too, especially after the struggle with the old Samsung.

    I bought this TV for my guest room. I didn't want anything too big or expensive since it's not the main set. I love it. I've swotched out the main tv amd replaced with this one. The serup was rasy. The picture quality and sound is great. I usually don't have to play more than 30 on the sound bar when there is extra noise from kitchen or HVAC. Great value for a great television.

    After having one of these devices for about a year, we bought two more for a rental home. The new pair replace another platform device, that was incredibly time consuming to set up, and was hard for short term renters to navigate. The Roku platform is so much easier, and instinctive enough that we no longer need to leave instructions on the table. Great value, great picture, great product.

    So far, so good. I bought this tv a couple weeks ago and I like it. Big, beautiful picture, set up was easy. Make sure you have a large table or the proper mount because it is large. I've always bought Pioneer stereo equipment over the years, so I figured I'll try a TV. Got it on sale for a great price as well. I recommend.

    Pros - PRICE, easy setup, good base picture quality, lightweight and mounted easily to wall Cons - No Bluetooth (in 2026...huh?); no ability to adjust picture settings, there is only a "bright, brighter, brightest" adjustment Overall, it does what it is supposed to do, decent picture and connected to my apps easy enough. At this price point (esp on sale), that is all anyone should expect. I was surprised by the lack of bluetooth but I should have read the specs closer.

    The tv was easy to setup. Has a pretty good picture for the price. If your familiar with Roku, navigation is easy. Purchased this for my elderly father who is not very comfortable with modern tech. He seems to navigate ok but not without issues at times. Remote is small ( normal size) for him. Purchased large button remote to help. I would say its a good purchase for his needs.

    It was really easy to set up & get to watching it. Color is awesome, and the sound could use more volume, but nothing a sound bar can't fix. I am going to buy another one for my basement. Also got it at a killer good price. Simply love it.

    This TV is great. It does help that access to the TV are much easier than other models I have. The menu is easy to navigate, mainly because it uses the Roku interface. You can assign each input onto the menu, I dont have to click on Input/Source on the remote control. It doesn't take forever to setup either. Its quick, click and a few minutes to setup HDMI and all the streaming channels I watch all in one go. Once set up, I just have to use the directional pad on the remote to go where I want to. But one of the most critical things I LOVE about this television is and is lacking on other brands is that Pioneer didnt forget us Gen X or Millenials who used to love playing consoles that are now considered "retro" is the ability to connect your AV component cables onto this TV - Red/White/Yellow cables. Most of the newer TV brands like Samsung and LG (which I also own) are missing that on their TV's, they've cut costs into the build and only include HDMI slots only which made it tough because I always have to buy a third party AV converter - that are more misses than hits - to be able to connect that onto my TV. This has been a great TV to own - easy Roku menu and access to AV, became an automatic buy for me.

    I recently purchased a flat-screen TV from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. From the moment I set it up, I was impressed by the sleek and modern design. The thin bezel gives it a very elegant look, and it fits perfectly in my living room. The picture quality is outstanding — the colors are vibrant, the contrast is sharp, and the 4K resolution makes movies and shows look incredibly realistic. Watching sports and action movies feels immersive thanks to the smooth motion and clear detail. The sound quality is also surprisingly good for a flat-screen TV. While I may add a soundbar in the future for a more cinematic experience, the built-in speakers are more than enough for everyday viewing. Another highlight is the smart TV functionality. It connects easily to Wi-Fi and provides quick access to popular streaming apps. The interface is user-friendly and responsive, making navigation simple and fast. Overall, I highly recommend this TV to anyone looking for excellent performance at a reasonable price. My experience shopping at Best Buy was smooth and convenient, and the TV has exceeded my expectations in both quality and value.

    I recently splurged on a TV from Best Buy, and frankly… it's opened up a whole new world of entertainment. From the moment I turned it on, the picture was spectacularly sharp, the colors deep, vibrant, almost alive. Every movie, every game, every series takes on incredible depth, as if I were right in the middle of the action. The clear, immersive sound perfectly complements the experience. The design is modern, slim, and elegant—it fits perfectly in the living room and immediately catches the eye. It's not just a TV; it's a centerpiece that transforms the atmosphere of the home. Buying from Best Buy was also a real bonus: professional service, easy setup, and the guarantee of a genuine, high-quality product. Now, watching TV isn't just a habit anymore… it's become a true daily pleasure.
