I don't use it to watch TV!
This is the 2nd Sceptre TV I have purchased. The first was a 32" LCD that stopped working after about 4 years of constant, daily use. I‘m talking about 6-8 hours a day. I don‘t watch that much TV, I used it with a second Viore 32" TV hooked up to my computer. I replaced the old 32" Sceptre with this new 40". When I bought the first 2 32" TVs for my computer, I also bought 3 year extended warranties. I needed to use it for the Viore after about a year, it started shutting off by itself. I sent it for service and have not had a problem since. But I never had any problems with the 32" Sceptre until 2 weeks ago and the extended warranty had ended. I don‘t expect to have any problems with the new 40" but I got a 4 year extended warranty just in case. :-)
These TVs make GREAT computer monitors. If you have not tried them you should. You can still watch TV when you want to, no problem.
