Lip sync lag when watching cable
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In case this deal comes back or goes live again, wanted to post my thoughts and experience with this TV so far. I have FiOS and the TV’s model number (55S434) does not show up as a programmable remote control code. Auto program through FiOS set top box is able to program just volume, so you won’t be able to change inputs using the FiOS remote that comes with the box. Has been annoying my fiancé quite a bit when she wants to switch from watching TV to the 4K fire stick. The big issue with this TV for me is the lip sync lag when watching cable through Verizon’s set top box. I’ve done a good amount of googling and tried adjusting some settings in the Audio section of the TV options with no luck. Tried changing HDMI inputs and also had no luck. I’m going to return the TV, which has to be me lugging it to the store. If you don’t have cable then this is probably no issue for you, but this is annoying enough to warrant a return for me and wanted to call out the risk to anybody if they’re looking at this for a future purchase. Finally, I had my previous TV plugged in through a Kasa smart plug so I could turn on and off with my Amazon Echo. This TV only will turn off using the same plug and same set up.

Odd object trails
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture is great if the scene isn't dark or nothing is moving too quickly on screen. But if its one or the other, or both, there seems to be some image processing issue. Objects have a weird halo around them, and when an object moves, the halo lags behind the movement for a brief period of time, creating an eerie ghost like trail. If all you're doing is watching cartoons and sitcoms, you might not notice it very much, but if you're watching a lot of movies, media with dark lighting or lots of action, it'll drive you nuts. I've played around with every setting possible and cannot get this to go away. I replaced the tv thinking I might have just gotten a dud, but the new one has the same problem. I downgraded to the 50" and it doesn't have this problem at all. Not sure what the difference is between these models that would cause this. It's a real bummer, because I loved the size of the tv and it was a great price.
