So far so good
This is an incredible TV at the price point - it's hard to tell the difference in picture quality from big name brands anyway.
Hard to really knock the picture quality - it's great. No backlight bleed like my terrible 70" aquos - it's crystal clear, crisp. I changed some settings like turn on memc, dynamic contrast. I reduced contrast slightly (by like 5, not sure if it matters with the dynamic contrast), increased color and sharpness settings by about 5. I may still mess with it, but it seems pretty nice with those settings ( not that default was bad)
I already had a sound bar I use with it, so can't judge the sound - but frankly none of these slim LED backlit TVs have good sound - you can get a basic sound bar for $50-100, mines a bit fancier with a subwoofer and such but no problem. No idea why anybody would knock it for bad speakers.
The stand is nice and sturdy, but I only used it for a day before I put it on the wall.
Remote is basic and lackluster, but I don't use it.
No smart TV, but I don't like smart TVs. I have an Xbox one hooked to it (which I also have a remote for, and run the cable through) which is the reason I never use the remote. Xbox one totally replaces a smart TV and more without the awful, slow interface. More practically on a budget I'd be fine with a roku stick or a Chromecast.
Overall it's great, can't get s better deal. I hope it lasts awhile but I don't foresee any issues.
