Buget TV at best

Very happy with the monitor, I say monitor because they shipped ours with no TV tuner or coaxial cable hook up. Item description said it had it. They did send one out very fast for me to install. Even though I bought two TV's and told them so. And why do I have to be a repair man. Well, I returned them and have 2 more on the way with fingers crossed. Very bare bones product with very good Display. I am happy with our purchase as long as the tuner and coaxial connection are on these.

Best budget 1080 tv. 4K is an added bonus

I thought It was becoming impossible to find a 40 inch tv for under $300. I went through 3 different tv's before I finally found this one. I first tried out the Sceptre X405BV- 40. I owned a 32 inch Sceptre previously so figured I give that brand a shot again. I quickly realized that tv had a 176 degree viewing angle which means, while watching from the side at my computer desk, all the red colors looked pink, and faces looked pale. I quickly returned it to try out another tv from a different site. Next one I bought had ghosting and banding issues making it unwatchable. It seemed hard to find a 1080 tv with a 178 viewing angle that had at least 3 HDMI ports for a decent price. After hours of research I stumbled across this tv not even thinking about 4K. It's advertised as having a 178 degree viewing angle so I was able to watch from my computer desk. Also comes with 4 HDMI ports, and has 10 watt speakers, most cheaper tv's have 5 to 8 watt, so it's a slightly better improvement. Plus the amount of component hookups are a major benefit. One review on here did claim that there were bad ghosting issues but I was willing to take a chance. So far I'm really enjoying this tv, haven't had a single issue so far. Color only looks only slightly faded from a side angle, but not enough to be worried about. One thing to consider is the reason this 4k tv is so cheap is because it doesn't have HDR, which I honestly don't even notice is missing. My only minor complaint is when it's hooked up to my computer the tv has about an inch on the top and bottom cut off, but it's pitch black and blends in enough were I didn't even notice there was screen missing at first. Bottom line, if you're looking for an 4k tv with HDR support, you might want to invest more. But if you want a budget 1080 tv this is the best one I could find and not much more expensive than the other 40 inch Sceptre on this site. To me, the 4k capabilities are just

Good Picture.

Good picture. Sound should be more graduated and in sync with other inputs.. If I watch a DVD or an Amazon movie I have to raise the sound level, then remember to lower it before going back to my over the air channels (volume jumps up high quickly so have to keep volume down around 9 to 11 for regular OTA channels).. Other than that I have no complaints. As with almost every TV nowadays, a sound bar would be a good addition.

Ease of Installation

The packaging shows their concern--even a screwdriver was included in the box. Fully features, excellent quality.

Sceptre!

GREAT TELEVISION FOR THE PRICE! I ALWAYS BUY SCEPTRE!

Picture is good and there is yellow video input for my security ...

For the price $250.00 it does the job.Picture is good and there is yellow video input for my security camera's

Nice Little TV for the money

A buy worth it‘s money. I would recommend this product to others

The best product on the market

So.. people are really underselling this tv.. let me say this.. this is a superior product for an UNBEATABLE PRICE. This may be the best value on the market full stop. I have two 4k tvs I use this one for shooters because I aim better on a smaller screen (most people do they just don't realize it) the picture is incredible if you are wanting a 4k tv at a smaller size for whatever reason do not hesitate one bit to buy this product

Five Stars

Was really impressed with the quality

Great Gaming TV!

I purchased this TV for my gaming system, owning everything from a Nintendo 64 to a PS4 Pro. The TV has quickly proven to be the perfect size as far as feeling fully immersed in a game. The quality is much more sharper and crisper than I expected and can keep up with anything system I‘m using. A big plus for me was the multiple HDMI ports, as well as the variety of other plug-ins. It is a very light television and I was able to get everything up and running in a snap. The remote was also very intuitive and simple to operate. A very superb experience all around!

Great TV for the price, but they need to improve the packaging

It has a decent picture and sound for the price. I'm very happy with it. Considering what I paid for lesser TVs just a few years ago it's truly amazing.

I'm fairly picky about image quality. I'd rate the image quality an 8.5 out of 10 due to ever so slightly washed out looking colors. Again though, for the price I couldn't be happier.

Now, about packaging. I had to order a replacement because the first one arrived broken. Also some of the packing tape was actually stuck to the screen on the second one. It was kind of scary pulling that off but it came off cleanly. I just had to be really slow and methodical. They need to improve their shipping/packaging. Otherwise, great product.

Update: I paid $250 for this TV. All of my comments are within the context of that price. Since then it appears scalpers have cornered the market on this TV and jacked up the price. I really wish I could filter out "third party sellers" (AKA scalpers) and be notified when Amazon themselves get something back in stock.

awesome

4k @ 64HZ

I purchased this to replace a 27" 1080p LCD computer monitor. I was torn between this and a 34" ultrawide at twice this price. I do not regret it one bit. I watched a few 4k youtube vids and the picture is amazing. If using as a monitor, take 5 minutes to adjust the picture and lower the sharpness to 20 or below. Windows 10 settings automatically scaled everything up to 350%. Once I adjusted it back down to 100% then I was able to take advantage of all of the screen real estate. Windows automatically was setup to allow snapping into 4 sections, basically giving you four 1080p monitors all in one screen. Windows shows me as using 3840x2160 @ 64Hz. Just do your research to make sure your computer either has a displayport 1.2 or HDMI 2.0 if you want to get 60Hz. I also tested it at 30Hz with a laptop, and it worked just fine. It wasn't as "smooth" feeling when moving things around though. My sole purpose for this was to replace my computer monitor and for that purpose it is amazing. I have not tested it as a TV nor have I tested the sound.

Does a great job and you have a TV as a bonus ...

I bought it for use as computer monitor as the 40" UHD monitors are all very expensive and over 1000$. Does a great job and you have a TV as a bonus if you connect an external aerial. Would recommend it to anyone who wants a large 4k monitor without breaking the bank.

Great tv for the price

Can't complain got what I asked for the right price.

Sceptre 40" 4K Ultra HD LED TV

Great set for the price. Has 4 HDMI ports which was important to me. Replaced a 32" set which I moved to another bedroom. Easy to connect with cable system and program remote for same. Picture is what I expected. Sound is o.k., since I don't need it for gaming. Arrived within the time frame provided and I picked up from store.

tv

this tv is great. a very good buy for the money

Works great as 4K monitor

Bought from Walmart with 4yr extended warranty. You may need a DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 adapter to get 4K 60Hz with proper color.

Great TV as computer monitor

Ordered and received same day. This is 5 stars just for that.
Purchased this 40" TV to be used as computer high resolution 4K monitor. Plugged computer in HDMI port and Nvidia graphics card immediately recognized and set resolution to 3840 X 2160. Screen server also works good turning ON and OFF screen. I replaced 3 24" monitors with this TV and gain lot of desk space. I am using this computer and TV for CAD and other graphics programs and I am happy with this purchase. You cannot beat price of $250 for 40" 4K monitor.
You should not watch low resolution 240 YouTube videos in full screen. It just does not look good, Just stretch your browser until pixels are not to big on low resolution videos. This is not smart TV and you do not need those functions if it is plugged into computer. The 4K movies from Netflix looks good. I highly recommend this TV if you want high resolution computer monitor. I did not try to us it as TV and I cannot write review about TV functions.

Great picture Great value

If you're looking for a 4K that's just as good if not better this is the one for you. The best $230 I ever spent. Delivered to my front door
