Q: Is this 60Hz or 120 Hz ?

A: Hello Murtazamm. The LC-55LB481U has a refresh rate of 60Hz.

Q: Hello, do you have to have Roku Service for this tv?

A: Hi Mel! We already own a Ruko TV. There is no Ruko Service, per say. Ruko is a unit that provides on line streaming with a one time purchase, no ongoing fees. You do need internet, where you set up an account. Having said all this Ruko TV has Ruko built in it, with one remote. Also there's an app that becomes a remote.

Q: I've had TV since 12/25/16 and it's worked fine up until today. The picture has turned green and I cannot adjust the TV to fix this. Is this a common issue?

A: If you are using component cables from your cable box to your TV make sure all the cables are plugged in on the box and the back of the TV.

Q: Does this tv have Internet access?

A: Yes, Wi-Fi is built into the unit.

Q: Does this TV have analog composite inputs for vcr/dvd connection? THanks

A: Hello, yes this model does have the composite input (AV input).

Q: No problems with this TV, until the back light went out today. Talked to a geek squad member & he told me to just buy a new tv after I asked how to fix it. Was just wondering if I could replace it. Tv turns on and there’s audio but the screen stays black

A: I just got off the phone with Sharp and Insignia who informed me they don’t even carry or make the part to replace the black screen. The part number is 206092. I was told that even one bad led out of the 50 will cause the screen to turn black, but that nobody can repair it bc there is no part. They told me to throw it away and buy another tv. I’m very let down considering I bought 4 of these TVs for my business. Had I known that Best Buy would carry an unrepairable piece of garbage like this, I would not have purchased these.
