Android based OS lacks
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good picture quality however the Android based OS lacks compared to Roku or fire tv certain apps work fine but others have this unusual audio distortion which makes it very annoying, the only solution I found as permanent fix was adding a sound bar.

Solid TV at a Great Price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. I think this tv is at an excellent price point and offers great value. Colors are pretty vibrant but not over saturated. I think the tv does really well with motion. Overall, I have no complaints about picture quality and it definitely does the job for streaming and blu rays.

Great tv!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best kept secret! I assume the price is really low and no one really buys this tv because it’s an Android Operating system. Even though we don’t have androids, the tv doesn’t need it, and it’s perfectly fine. Love the low cost and the quality is great, operating system is great! Love the tv!

Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have Roku and Fire TV at home. I've always wanted to try Android TV. This TV is on sale and I grabbed it. It is a pretty nice budget TV. Brightness could be a bit more. Also when I cast youtube from my phone, the video often jitters. I moved my connection to hardwired gigabit LAN and still does that. I tried casting to my old Roku TV and also directly to a google chromecast device and they are just fine. If there is no jitters, this is pretty much perfect for the price range. Right now I'm still undecided if I want to keep it or exchange for a different brand.

Definitely worth purchasing in my book.

Solid tv, but reoccurring picture mode issue
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a solid tv. It is not anything amazing, but I'm satisfied for the price I paid. The sound is average, just what you would expect from a tv in this price range. The picture quality is good, good with bright colors but suffers with black and dark colors. I would have rated it 4 stars but a really annoying reoccurring issue is that the picture mode keeps locking on me. Meaning, it keeps randomly defaulting to the low power mode, lowering all sliding scale picture options to 0 and not letting me change anything picture wise. I have to keep reseting the tv to fix this. I don't know whats causing it, the firmware is up to date as well. Will probably return it soon if this continues.

Excellent Picture quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best TV I have. I have Samsung, LG and JVC (died in 5 years) all 55 inch 4K TVs and this is the cheapest TV I purchased and has best picture quality compared to others. Sound is good and I don't see any picture freeze or any refresh rate problems associated with 60 fps TV so far.

Good enough TV, not mind blowing.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm using this TV for the kids' room. Since that's the case, I don't care about all of the bells and whistles. It works well enough. I do want to say that it's a bit slow: I feel like it takes a couple of minutes for it just to boot up. I haven't seen that in a while. Also, Android TV is not the same as Google TV. It shares a lot of features, but a Google TV lets you use more Google apps like Google Photos, where Android TV doesn't. Also, watching it from the side kind of washes out the picture. Watching it straight on is best. So again, I'm not trying to be snooty or anything, but I wouldn't use this as the TV for my living room. For a kid, who's usually just watching YouTube or TikTok on it, this is great.

Great TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have an expensive Samsung TV I bought last year which was 3-4x the price of this. While the Samsung is nicer overall, this TV for the price point cannot be beat. Android TV is great as well and preferable over Roku since it's not as locked down. Doesn't have the most RAM but that's fine.

Good TV for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great TV for the price. The picture and sound are pretty good. I do notice with fast moving things like during a football game, the picture can lag and look funny. It also is slow to start up. But overall for general use it’s a great value.

Reasonable tv for reasonable money.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think this is a reasonable tv for a reasonable price. I have much nicer tv's in my home, but these are really being used as monitors and the quality is not as important. Easy to setup. I think you can consider this a good budget tv.

Software meh, tv and delivery great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Android software isn't as good or smooth as my 4 year old Visio smart tv. TV itself is pretty good. Color on the brighter more vibrant side. Delivery was seamless. They also hauled away a 50 inch CRT with ease on the haul-away add-on.

Stolen gem!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wonderful set! Bought it for my patio and it works great!!! Great picture and sound! I added an TCL Alto 6 to increase the output because it is outside, but I believe the speakers on the set would be adequate for indoors! I bought it for 200 dollars on sale and it was a steal!!!

I thought It was a roku, didn't pay attention.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I' m satisfied with the overall performance of the tv. Pleased that I was able to purchase a 55 at such a low price. It was a gift for someone, and I was told that they are happy and satisfied with it. I was hoping to find a 65 inch at a good price for another person as a gift.
