WONDERFUL BUT

A TREMENDOUS VALUE. HDMI CONNECTIONS ARE A LITTLE LOOSE AND SUBJECT TO INTERUPTIONS IF WIRES MOVED. SPEAKERS ARE A LITTLE TINNY BUT I USE HOME THEATER SO WHO CARE. PICTURE RIVALS MAIN TV WHICH IS A MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE MODEL BY SAMSUNG.

Great for the price

I bought this 6 months ago, and the grandkids have it on about 10 hours a day. The swivel base is really nice because we have it in a big room. The sound isn‘t great, but the picture is really decent.

Best Bang for the Buck!

Owned it now for 3 months and there has not been one issue. Picture is clear and sound while it takes a bit to find the sweet spot is loud, full and still has great presence to understand dialogue. Controls for picture and audio are easy to understand, set and have a wide range to work with. Very impressed with the blackness of the black and that picture still looks acceptable at a 45 degree angle from the screen. Overall the family is very pleased with this model. A 40" is the perfect size for a room that is around 400 sq. feet.

Set it up, adjusted the sound & it is great so far~

I researched and kept coming back to this tv, based on price and features. Having just set up the tv today, I can't speak to how it will work out. I followed advice about adjusting the sound and equalizer and am pleased with it. On another site, 13,000+ people took the time to review this tv, or it's twin in silver. Plus a friend is a happy owner of this exact model. The last new tv I bought was in 1996, so this seems magical, even if I never use the ample ports on the back and side panel. I am very hopeful and so far, so good.

Love these TV's

I bought this 42" sceptre tv in early December, it was my second one. I got it because of it being bigger is the only reason. My old one went to my grandson and still works after 4 years. The price is great and the features are awesome. I use it not only as my tv but also as my computer monitor, one of the few tv that have a vga hook up.

Great TV, Great price

This TV is better than I thought it would be. It is easy to set up and the picture quality is excellent! It is better than my Visio TV of the same size. I would definitely buy it again.

Beautiful Picture

I bought this 40" Sceptre for myself this Christmas, and I couldn‘t be happier. The picture quality is amazing, and the 40" screen is just perfect. It also has a pretty loud built in speaker, but I do have my stereo hooked up to it. I also have my computer plugged into it, so I can watch youtube, Netflix or anything else. I can plug my headphones into it if I don‘t wanna wake up anybody else in the house. The panel on the back is impressive with all of the things you can hook up to it. Everything you could want. I was still watching a big fat tube television that had an awesome picture as well but it must have weighed 100 lbs., it wasn‘t HDMI, couldn‘t plug it into an external speaker, no headphone jack, and the internal speaker sucked. I kept saying I‘m gonna wait til prices come down. I also recently got Directv with the High Definition Genie Recorder Receiver, because I knew I was going to upgrade to a thin, lightweight, high def tv soon. Well I‘m glad I waited. I got it at Walmart on Cyber Monday, and picked it up for around $200. It comes with a 1 year warranty, but I paid like $36.00 extra, and got a 4 year + 1 year coverage. That‘s basically the lifespan of any tv. Do yourself a favor if you‘ve been waiting, and go buy this tv. I just checked Wally World‘s website and it‘s still only $259.00. I actually didn‘t know prices have come down this much. Oh yeah, the Sceptre name, I‘d never heard of it, I‘m 58 with a 30 year old Son, and I knew he knew a lot about the new tv technology, so when I told my Son I was thinking about buying a Sceptre 40" HDMI tv, and asked his opinion on it and he said buy it. His Uncle has one and he LOVES it. I hope this review helps in your decision making process. When I started looking at new tv‘s, I read a BUNCH of reviews, and not even 1 review out of that whole bunch was negative, they were all 5 star ratings. That helped me immensely with my deci

Sceptre X405BV-FHDR REVIEW

Good product for the money !!!! Picture and color are good, but the setup is a little confusing. Why not just make things self adjust to "Good", "Better", and "Best" !! Volume is very jerky to adjust, even with audio volume leveling turned on. Picture sizing is very confusing. But overall, for the money, it is worth the purchase.

Biggest tv I've ever had

40". I never heard of Sceptre, but they got very good reviews for this tv.. The picture is very sharp, almost like having HD. Everything is up to par. I got a Sceptre sound bar for it, but the sound is good even without the sound bar.

just what we were loking for

we felt we needed a new tv for the patio and this 40 in led from septre just fit our need exactly. has more features than we will ever use, but can‘t complain about that. good picture -lightweight - easy to install- can‘t comment yet about reliabilty as I just installed it today. I intend to get the 4yr extended warranty as soon as I figure out how to get it. when I picked the unit up at the store I was told they don‘t sell the warranty in the store(that don‘t seem right,got to check in on that) they give you a screwdriver to put it together but don‘t try to use it--it‘s too small, you would never get the screws tight

Excellent TV!!

We are very happy with our purchase. The picture is excellent! We would recommend this to anyone.
