3.0 out of 5 starsso that was nice. We set our TV up
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2016
We purchased this TV during the Black Friday (Or Cyber Monday - can't remember) sale. It arrived via FedEX packaged very well! They had Styrofoam all over the outside to protect the TV, so that was nice.
We set our TV up. It looked gorgeous in our bedroom and for the price we paid, was worth it as a bedroom TV. No complaints so far. Within a few days I notice a vertical band about 2 inches thick on the the right side. I could see it but others could not until it was pointed out. Then it became painfully obvious. We didn't want to deal with returning it since it would be a pain to package it up and take it back to UPS and it wasn't a huge issue...... Until it was. Another week or two goes by and suddenly there is a HUGE spot on the TV that is much lighter than the rest of the TV. It's noticeable to everyone. It's noticeable on everything.
Thankfully Amazon Customer service is superb! We were able to exchange the TV for a new one. They sent us the new one and we returned the old one. After we set the new TV up we didn't notice any issues (at the time) so we were content.
A few days later we realize the TV is dropping the WiFi for the Smart TV features, all. the. time. We tested to see if it was our WiFi (Since we use LAN lines for our desktops and only have the consoles, tablets, tv's and phones on WiFi) Our PS4 worked just fine for Amazon and Netflix on the TV but the TV smart feature just doesn't keep the WiFi signal long. We still have this problem now and we've had the second TV for a few months now.
All in all, the price was decent and worth the hassle. Thankfully we have consoles or even the Amazon Fire Stick to use if we want to watch Netlfix/Amazon on our TV in our bedroom.
