Great TV for the price!
Nice remote, good IR range, and onscreen dialogs. I wanted to upgrade my system, so I got a Mediasonic STB180, and it can record programs via usb, though it requires an external hard drive (not flash drive, it causes glitches)...it records without a flaw. When the screen is idle, like when loading a DVD (separate player)...there's slight horizontal foggy patches, about 4" wide...maybe I'm picky, but it's very minor. I believe the 4K tv's have a scaler built in....I run my DVD player with 1080p hdmi, but it's not "mind blowing" crisp like in stores...,I've heard that a Sony bluray can upscale to 4K output, but I don't have one to test. The Mediasonic tv signal is a bit richer in color, though I think all broadcast are hd 1080, and not 4K ...yet...so again, picture is not like in stores....you might note that the store MUST be feeding the 4K tv's a special 4K video loop, that draws you in...so, the tv will give a great picture, it's just our old tech is not there yet to feed it 4K. I tried all kinds of claimed "4K upscalers", in between my DVD player and tuner, that had no affect. I use the tv as a switcher, and run audio out to my stereo system...nice! The tv feet are nice....cast aluminum, very sturdy, and the Mediasonic fits under it.
