This TV is really great. I connected it to my computer tower so gaming and netflix are in 50 inch greatness. Im also a graphic designer so it works good with that. I also dabble in video editing and seeing the final product of my work on this screen really is satisfying. I hardly use it to watch TV. HAHA. great product. there is one slight issue. sometimes when messing with the volume buttons on the side, it would turn off the unit. its nothing too major though.

Great TV

This is my second Sceptre, the first was a gift and lasted over 7 years, I replaced it with this model and couldn't be happier. The set up was easy and the only adjustment I made was to the sound. More bass, less treble. Now it's perfect! Beautiful picture quality and color. You cannot go wrong with this brand.

Great Value for the Price

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.
