Question: how good is the picture and sound quality
Document: Great quality picture. Sound is not the best and will need to hook up to a external sound for good quality, but a great purchase for the price.
Picture is great. Sound is not impressive (normal as it is a thin TV). So far so good. Low price but high quality.Update: Still a great TV after 6 months.
IIt was incredibly easy to set up. Its nice and thin and the screen has almost no glare. The sound and picture quality are very good, especially when using HDMI. I cant wait to mount it on my wall!
I'm blown away by this TV (and it's price)! To say the quality is good is an injustice. The picture is superior. I don't have surround sound so I can't speak to that. I have recommended this TV to all my friends.
This tv is everything it is advertised to be and more. I couldn't be happier. Easy set up, fantastic picture, and pretty good sound. For the price it simply can't be beat. It is a no-frills but quality unit. I highly recommend it.
Not a lot to say, other than for the price, this is an immensely good value. I read dozens of reviews and considered Samsung, LG, and Vizio. This no frills tv has an absolutely astounding picture. Sound quality is just fine for a tv, performs flawlessly, couldn't be happier.
I purchased this TV skeptical that it wouldn't be any good. I was wrong. This TV has an amazing picture (Similar to Samsung) and has a mediocre sound.. but for the price you can't better. I would suggest investing in a home theater system to sub- for sound quality difference... Use the money that you're saving by buying this TV for that. :)
My previous HDTV (a fairly new LCD) was accidentally shattered, and I wanted a same-size replacement but didn't have a lot of money to spend. I figured this TV would be a compromise, and not compare to my previous TV... and to my surprise, it's better. The picture quality is bright, viewing angle is as good as my previous set, and the built-in sound is actually decent.
TV arrived on time despite a major snowstorm. TV was in better condition than described. The setup was easy, and theinstructions very clear. The picture is amazin and the TV works as advertised. The sound quality is surprisingly good.We are enjoying this TV immensly. If you're on a fixed income, and looking for a good deal on a TV, This is it!The 2 year warranty is just icing on the cake.
This tv has a mediocre picture quality. If you are going to try and hook this up to a sound bar or home theater system-good luck. It has one audio output and it is not compatible with anything we have tried. Lesson learned-make sure the tv you choose has multiple input and output options. This one does not. Tech support was not knowledgeable about hooking this tv to a sound bar either.
Answer: Sound is typical for thin LED-LCD, which IMO is pretty bad. You want to hook up external speakers, but can only use the digital coaxial or headphone jack, as there is no digital optical.I thought the picture quality was very good, but mine had a faulty panel. Someone else got a faulty panel too if you read the reviews. Just know that if you order one, you may end up having to exchange it. I ended up ordering a Panasonic, and the first one was perfect. Not need to return it.
