    got this tv mainly because it had the pioneer label. Pioneer historically has been a good brand. But this one falls woefully short in almost all categories. picture quality is barely passable and audio is just so tinny. Big disappointment from a pioneer brand

    The tv is phenomenal. Great price. The only issue I have is with the sensor light keeps coming on with a message of the temp check and the tv cutting off when it gets too hot. Very disappointed and might return the tv because of these things.

    Do not buy! Roku Tv Defective

    This TV has had nothing but issues since installing. It went smooth on initial install, then once powered off and then back on it would not reconnect to WIFI that is less than 20ft away. Had to factory reset to get it to work again. Then it repeated the same cycle. Tried hooking up external roku to tv and it will not allow me to use that either. It loads, but when using tv or other Roku remote it does nothing. Save yourself a headache and buy something else.

You shouldn’t have to deal with repeated resets or problems connecting devices. Your feedback is important, and we want to make this right. Please reach out to us directly on 1-888-287-7658.

    Doesn’t Pair With Cable Box

    The Pioneer TV is manufactured by TCL and unfortunately doesn’t pair with the latest Spectrum cable boxes. So two remotes are needed for channels, audio and power.

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the Pioneer TV. We understand how inconvenient it can be to use two remotes for channels, audio, and power.

We appreciate your input as it helps us identify areas where we can improve and provide a smoother experience for our customers.

    Definitely not the best tv but for the price point and free delivery you can't go wrong. Very light and easy to mount. Having Roku baked in was an important selling point as I stream DirecTv.

    Very easy to set up. I was already using Roku on my old tv so it was simple hooking up to Roku. I had it installed and hooke up in less than twenty minutes. The full screen is wonderful for viewing. I am completely satisfied, and looking forward to watching this Pioneer tv for many years! Thank you.

    This TV was for my 85-year-old mother. She was familiar with using a Roku already, so the interface works great for her. I like the way they handle non-Roku inputs (each is like another Roku app). The picture is great, the sound is good, the price was great. The delivery went well. I have not been successful in getting her Tivo remote to operate the power and volume on the TV.
