Good TV for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good TV for the price when you purchase it on sale. Sometimes, it does not automatically connect to my router and you have to manually connect but this is a minor inconvenience.

Good Overall Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great picture and the built in Roku system is awesome. Only reason for 4 stars is you cannot get it to automatically load a certain input (like cable tv for example)

Best TV for the Money
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good for the money. I paid $299 for this on sale, my first flat screen going from a tube TV. I use it in a small room and do not need a sound bar, the speakers on the TV work fine.

Second one purchased in two weeks.

Had a bit of a picture wobble when I was fast forwarding through a program on my satellite dish, but I just turned the tv off and then on, and I’ve had no problem since. It is a great TV.

Great TV for the price!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this tv for my room. Not too large, not too small. Perfect size for my room and the picture quality is fantastic. I bought a 65" TCL for my living room, and would compare the picture quality of this to be the same.

Great interface with Roku built in

Built-in Roku with a great picture!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great TV. The Roku OS is easy to use and the picture is fantastic. The speakers are not great but an accompanying soundbar fixes that. For the value you would be hard pressed to find a better TV.
