Does not power on out of the box
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased online with curb side pickup, which all went as planned. Got it home, installer was here. Once it was mounted and plugged in, tried to power it on. Nothing. Installer tested everything. This one is getting returned and have a 2nd one ordered for pickup. I hope the power on issue is a one-off defect. But now I have to pay for a 2nd trip for the installer.

Great While It Lasts
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a strong choice for a budget TV while it lasted. In only a matter of three weeks, the television began to regularly mute all audio despite switching sources. This was an issue that could only sometimes be undone by turning off and on. Shortly after persistent audio issues, the screen began to flicker randomly - marking a disappointing holiday purchase.

Gave me a badly broken TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We received a completely smashed 55" TCL TV and Beat buy even refused to accept responsibility. I even got 5 years goof proof when I bought it and it's a disgrace they peddle these bogus products and won't even off that. Amazon has repleced for me no questions askednin a similar aituation. I would just deal with a respected store as they're garbage.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worst TV purchase I've ever made. Our living room TV went out and we needed to replace it quickly. I wish we would have waited to find what we wanted instead of buying this just because it was a good price. The picture and sound are horrible. There is already a spot in the corner of the TV that glitches. This was a complete waste of money.

Waste of money.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t waste your money. This TV felt cheap coming out of the box. Legs are very flimsy. Even after a software update, most of the apps preloaded on the TV like Disney and Netflix didn’t work. The TV gave an error message and said that the device didn’t support the apps. LOL. Best Buy was very rude while trying to return this.

Wow, u don’t even know what you are doing do you.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had it fir one day and it stopped working so I brought it back . Taking it back was weird too, the salesman didn’t know where half the inventory was. Nor did he know where the scratch and dent TVs were. Anyway , I don’t think I will be buying anything from Best Buy again. Cruddy service, sales and products. Go figure huh
