Hi folks. Don't let the no name-brand turn you off. This is a great TV for the price. The remote control has many useful features that saves time sifting through the on screen menu while watching TV. I love the "Aspect" button to make partial screen broadcasts into full screen (Cinema) on the TV with a one push of the button. Also, the "Sleep" button is very useful. The sleep feature was not even listed in the specs. The QAM tuner allows watching all unscrambled digital and analog channels without a Set-top box. Picture is sharp and the internal speakers are clear, nice and loud. I don't understand why there are so many unfavorable comments about the sound. My most favorite feature is the "Favorite" channels buttons on the remote (No pun intended), which also was not listed in the specs. The four favorite selection buttons on the remote makes it a breeze to select and access your favorite channels.
I bought a 46" Samsung smart TV two weeks ago for $200 more than I paid for this TV ($399). Samsung customer service in India were terrible. I am so glad I returned Samsung and bought this TV. I discovered that I don't need/want the Smart feature for internet access on a TV. It was so slow and froze so much, it was crazy. A computer is much better access to internet. The old adage that a higher priced item is not necessarily better; hold true with this TV.

Not happy with sound

God price, good picture, easy set up. Sound does not come out the front of unit. Have to turn volume up pretty high, almost to distorsion.
Happy Customer 2016-01-29

Great TV at a great price!

I have had this TV a little over a month and happily satisfied. Great picture...as far as the sound, I added an old computer powered sub and bingo..sound is fantastic. It was boxed nicely and setup was easy. For the price this TV can‘t be beat.

Great product for the price!

This television serves up great service and has tons of available inputs for extra items. Highly recommended!
adamndoug 2015-06-08

So far, so good.

I was a bit skeptical buying a brand I‘d never heard of, but the $375 delivered price convinced me. We‘ve had our set about 6 months now and love it. We have a digital antenna for local channels and a laptop for our shows, and it looks great.

I LOVE my new TV!!!

I just got my new Spectre 50 inch tv and I love it! I am more than pleased with my purchase and would recommend to anyone. It works well with my Apple TV. The picture and sound are great. It is so nice to be able to purchase a quality electronic from an American owned company! I plan on purchasing more Spectre products in the future.
Walt 2015-05-23

Excellent

Bought this. 50-inch led last fall, and wouldn‘t own anything else.

Great TV, I miss it!

I bought this TV 11 months ago and sadly it failed on me after 9 months. It is still under warranty but it has been a slow process. First Sceptre sent out a technician to change out a couple of modules but that did not work. they then instructed me to send the TV back to them at their expense. I did not save the box so they did send me one and it was shipped back UPS Ground. When it got back to them Ups had broken the screen in transit! So they sent a new replacement and when it arrived UPS again had BROKEN THE SCREEN! So again I am packing it up and sending it back so they can send me another one. I bought a small cheap TV until I get my TV back! I will have to think about buying the extra warranty at the store so I can take it back to the store next time. I love the TV and hope I will have it back soon!

Value, Performance, Features

I‘ve been happy. One nitpick- hard to control with other remotes, including Logitech Harmony and my receiver‘s remote.
DonGer 2015-04-04

Impressive- What a Bargain!

I discovered Sceptre while just casually shopping around for a larger monitor to relace the 27" LCD that I‘d been using to watch DVD‘s a couple of times a week. Larger computer monitors, it seems, are UHD for gamers, and priced as such. I bought this fine quality 50" LED HDTV for a better price than any 40" stand-alone computer monitor that I could find. Looks great in the perfect nook, sitting atop the perfect sidebar/buffet I had been using for the monitor/DVD and speakers. And the picture is great quality- easy setup, controls that allow me to set just about anything to my liking. There is nothing wrong with the sound quality for watching TV but I do like a bit better quality for music, so I found myself a nice reconditioned Bluetooth/USB/AV soundbar with sub-woofer with equalizer that makes this entertainment system. Value within a retiree‘s budget! Sceptre provides a good warranty but for a few sheckles more, I bought a 3 yr. extended warranty. Why pay the big price for the big name when there is quality like this for a much better price?
brownle451 2015-04-04

Fantastic TV

Bought this TV over the holidays, it was a great value and the quality is exceptional...colors are vivid and lived the swivel feature.
THEJKSHOW 2015-04-04

AWSOME TV !!

THIS TV HAD ALL THE FEATURES I WAS LOOKING FOR IN A GREAT TV,AND AT A GREAT PRICE !!
2015-03-24

Great tv for great price.

I just remodeled a spare bedroom into a computer/tv room and wanted a nice tv. And for $349 this was a great buy. Sound is ok, and the picture is great, actually just as good or better than my vizio. Definately a great value for the money. Better than most tv's costing 3-4 times as much.
