excellent TV!!!!!!!

I purchased this TV little over 60 days ago, I was just about to get the 50 inch 1080p, but I saw this one on sale at walmart.com for only $30 more, so I said, why not? It really didn‘t help knowing the layout of Sceptre TVs, as I also own a 32 inch 720p model color which has performed flawlessly and I have not seen any 4k concert yet, Full HD looks awesome on the TV. The sound we do something to be desired, but everything else is just awesome! For whatever informational purposes, if you are trying to pair your cable box remote, try Sony‘s remote control codes :-)

A great buy

Better than what I expected. I bought this tv two days ago so it might be a little to early to comment on it but the picture quality is amazing. The sound quality isn‘t anything to brag about so I hooked it up to my sound system, much better.

very pleased

I took a chance on scepter. I knew no one who had one to give me any advice yea or nay. I am very pleased with it. Picture is beautiful and as clear as any other brands I have seen.

Great TV

For the price is a great TV, until now zero problems, we will see in a couple of months.

Nice TV for 4K UHD

Easy setup, nice picture even though I don‘t have 4K programming yet. This was an upgrade from a 720p tv I have. So far, so good.

Excellent picture.

The picture is fantastic. Shipping and arrival was great. Big negative is the sound quality. The sound was of such poor quality, no matter which input I used. I finally bought a sound bar to make it acceptable.

Great value for a basic 4K TV

Full-screen media (without black bars) looks great on the U500. To see pixels you need to get your face practically on the screen. Up-scaling works very well, I have played many DVDs, as well as Blu-Rays, and they all look great. I‘m using a Sony blu-ray player, which works nicely with the Sceptre remote codes. If you need a perfect picture you should spend more on a TV with localized dimming and higher contrast ratios. On the U500 you will see back-lighting glare on blacks, which is particularly noticeable on media with black bars. The U500 also has a contrast ratio of only 1200:1 (so you will sometimes see banding in sky images). I‘m using all three HDMI ports. CEC works with my blu-ray player - turn on the blu-ray player, and the TV turns on and switches to the HDMI port. Another one or two ports would be helpful for future growth, especially with the component video ports being shared with the composite video port (which is very common on TVs these days). I have a Wii hooked up using the composite video, and the Wii picture looks great. I also have a leaf antenna connected to the co-ax input, and over-the-air digital signals look great too. The USB port is ...to be honest... almost a joke. It is limited to 2GB. These days you‘d be hard-pressed to find a USB stick under 8GB! It also only plays JPG pictures and MP3 music. It would be nice if a firmware upgrade would enhance this, but I suspect the TV‘s processor can‘t support MPG video, or more than 2GB. The sound from the TV is acceptable, and has adequate volume. I also bought a Sceptre sound bar, since I got the TV at such a good price on Black Friday, and my biggest gripe is that the U500 has a SPDIF optical output (red laser), but the soundbar only has a SPDIF co-ax input. So I‘m left with using the TV "line-out" to feed the sound bar. It does improve the sound, but I would expect the SPDIF to do better. Anyway, that is an issue with the sound bar, and not the TV. Overall,

Wow, fantastic

I bought this just so the wife could have larger screen in her bed room- suffice to say I traded her my Sony for it. This is the best value in electronics today! Does everything it is advertised to do at a great cost. Best of all, it is LIGHT, much lighter than you might think- but not flimsy! The powder-coated steel halo stand is also a work of art! Now, looking for 4k content to test on it... any suggestions? I have a Google Chromecast and while the HD images are great (needed to turn down the contrast out of the box, but rest is ok!) I really want to see it in 4k! Highly recommended to literally everyone who just wants a large TV.. why not get 4K for less than a HD set..... Cheers, Sceptre!

Couldn't disagree more with the other review written above this one. Perhaps that person got a bad unit because the one I bought (from a different vendor) is absolutely STUNNING. Not to mention I paid only $400 for it to boot. I have other large 1080p high quality tvs, and this one is even better than they are on 1080p content. While there isn't a lot of 4k content yet, the samples I've tried on it are phenomenal.

Over time more and more 4k will become available and I'm excited to be able to watch it when it does. It was well beyond my expectations, especially for such a low price.

WOW. Great TV.

I‘ve had this 4K a week now. Even though 4K content is limited at this time. This TV is ready ! It has HDMI 2.0 ready to go. A lot of additional options to connect. Blu-Ray,xbox, Wii, Roku. I‘ve researched so many TV‘s and company‘s. And was hard not to go with a major brand. But so glad I chose SCEPTRE. They are awesome. I will recommend at every chance. Did I say I have a 4K TV ?! So cool. Picture is great. Sound is good. Connected a sound bar. Even better.

Beautiful picture

Beautiful picture and easy to set up.

great tv

very happy to have purchased this on black friday. now to find the 4k content.

Great 4K TV, and priced right!

This TV is a hidden gem, beautiful picture in FHD and UHD, looks great, priced right, and has features some more expensive models.and brands don‘t, like HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2. I got this online from Walmart, and I am more than pleased with it. You could pay more for less, but why would you do that?

GREAT UNIT

PAYED $399 FOR THIS TV. IT IS SUPER GREAT. COLOR AND CLARITY IS THE BEST I HAVE SEEN OUT OF LOW END TV‘S. YOU CAN‘T GOWRONG. OTHERS IN ITS CLASS COST A THOUSAND DOLLARS OR MORE. SCEPTRE IS THE SAMSUNG OF 30 YEARS AGO. THEY WILL BE GOING PLACES.

Good

Very Fragile. I hope the build quality was a little bit better. Image quality is Good,but needs a lot a adjustment to fine tune it to your liking. The sound on this TV is the best i have heard so far.great sound quality. The weight of is lighter than my 20‘‘ TV,very very light.

Great TV

Bought this a week ago and it works perfectly! Use my bluray player and Xbox and it works flawlessly. Picture is great very impressed!

Very good TV for the price

Not only was this the cheapest 4k TV at 50" I could find, it has very good viewing angles than other TVs. This is particularly important if you‘re going to use the TV as a computer monitor. Also there is almost no back-light bleeding. With HDMI 1.4 output, it seems to do chroma 4:4:4 4k @ 30hz and 4:2:0 4k @ 60hz. Default color settings seem to be geared for showroom displays. Once I lowered the contrast and color it did very well on LCD pattern tests. This is a quality display at an affordable price.

Great TV

Surprised the family with this new flat screen... everyone is happy! Amazed at what we got for the price. Highly recommend.
