Pretty pleased so far.

Have only had this for less than a week so far, therefore my overall rating may be slightly conservative. Aesthetically the physical device is pleasing to the eye and it benefits from the sleek, narrow bezel (which is pretty much the norm these days). Given the price, the unit does not look cheap and easily improves on the space where my 10 yr. old 42" 1080p TV used to hang. I will not likely experience the native audio capabilities of this device because I am using it with a networked, 5.2 channel receiver and in-the-wall speakers-- perhaps just as well. The picture is crisper and more saturated than I might have expected. Availability of 4K source material is still somewhat modest though I am awaiting the arrival of a 4K@60 fps capable mini Android HTPC which will improve things a bit. Am having difficulty detecting any evidence of actual upscaling of the 1080i DirecTV signal by the TV, regardless of which HDMI input I try. Have been unable to obtain further information on apparently relevant fora and blogs. All in all I am pleased with my purchase and expect that time will provide me with solutions to some of the minor annoyances I‘m currently experiencing.

Well worth the buy

For $400 , this is the best TV you can get for that price. I know a good amount about tvs and this is the tv to get for the price

Great TV...Sounds good with good picture

I like my Sceptre. It has nice sound and good picture quality. I think it was a good buy for the money.

Great Value

After reading some of the reviews I was a little skeptical purchasing this model. It was all for naught. This unit couldn't be easier to install and set up.
Picture is fantastic for the price, does it have all the picture settings of the 1500-2000 dollar models, no, but it is a great value for the price.

Sceptre 508-Money well spent

I agree with others, a great buy for the price. I've had it for a month and have run it through it's paces and all in all, an outstanding value. It was easy integrate it with the other components of my system. I give it a thumbs up.

Great Value

Bought this sight unseen, I had seen 4K for the first time and knew I wanted one. The tv is 100% better than my old HD set, I can see more details and everything is richer than the other set. I would buy one again when I need a new TV

Best Value for Price - GREAT Picture

I think this TV is an excellent value. The picture is awesome. 3X HDMI hookups with 2.0 support. Very light and easy to setup. I can't find anything to complain about yet. Will revise my review as necessary.

Great value for a 4K product

Partly because I had previously purchased a Sceptre Naga monitor and had very good service from it, and partly because our local TigerDirect store was closing, I purchased this U508CV-UMK model. I selected it over some others, including "smart" TV models in part because I did not want to buy a "smart" TV that in a couple of years would be outdated. For a better price, I got a 4K TV to which I can add my own "smart" devices, such as a Roku 3 box. If I want, I can connect a computer as well, as I did for a test. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Good Value

I am using this as a monitor for my computer. It is wonderful having the equivalent of 4 1080P monitors stacked together with no lines. In general I am very pleased with it. The only two things I wish is that it had a sleep mode (rather than turn off). When it turns off I lose my window layouts as it pushes all my windows into a 1080P space. I also wish it had finer grained control over color and sharpness. Other than that, this is a great monitor and a good 4k tv, though that isn't How I use it.

Great TV at a great price

I was looking for a new 4k tv and through extensive search I found there was no other tv that could match the features or price. I have had my tv for 3 months now and not 1 issue. I could not be any happier. I strongly recommend this tv to anyone. You cant even get a good hd tv for this price let alone a 4k tv.

Everything is great so far.

Just received this tv yesterday via UPS and as normal like a thief in the night, I had to go looking all over my neighborhood to find my packages. No reflection on Tiger-Direct or Spectre, just the way UPS does business. Thank you so much packaging people for packing tv box inside of another box for the outside box had holes all over it, but tv box inside was fine. TV was easy to set up and make hookups to. Turned on and set up then Walla a beautiful picture.

Completely Satisfied

Item was delivered on time, packaged very well, no damage, for its $500 price, good deal for a 4ktv and not only Super Nintendo compatible but also put the snes in Hd

Excellent Choice

Got this TV - It is so awesome, now I need to upgrade my computer to use the UHD! The picture is excellent. I have only had it a few days but I am ready to buy another to replace the one in the den.

Still #1 in my book!

This is the second review after owning the set for thirty days. Clarity and color is unbelievable! The final set up was straight forward and easy. You can‘t go wrong with this Sceptre product! Buy on you will love it!

Sceptre U508 as computer monitor

Use as a computer monitor with GTX 750 card. Works very well in 4K. Had to adjust settings for sharpness, color etc to keep letters sharp. Certain colors make well defined numbers like red, blue, black. Green is less sharp. There is slight latency between key strokes and letter creation which takes getting used to for a fast typist. The pointer has a slight lag compared to a good regular monitor. Amazing amount of data displayed, 4 times HD monitors. Since I view from about 2', the outer screen edges seem a little darker because of sharp angle. Tremendous value at $400 for a monster data feed display. Wouldn't recommend a monitor any smaller than this with 4K.

Better than expected

I had done quite a bit of research into 4K TV before pulling the trigger on U508CV from Sceptre. I made a half a dozen trips to check out 4K's including flat and curved screened models and now I can see very little difference between my Sceptre and the more expensive big name brands in any meaningful way. Out of the box it has been a great experience and it came at a world beater price. Just an all around great deal.

Fine tv, great for the price

I‘ve had this tv for only a few days, and so far I‘m very pleased with it. Set-up was easy, the device is easy to move around (don‘t be daunted by the huge carton; there‘s lots of padding), and the picture is excellent. I don‘t have any 4K source material, but watching the blu-ray of "Lawrence of Arabia" on it is a jaw-dropping experience. One small "con": The sound quality isn‘t great (although it‘s far from terrible). I can easily live with that.
