Customer Review

Cons: the body is thicker than I expected (didn't look at size specs, just price), the feet are flimsy and the picture is not great when viewed from an angle - from the side, it's very washed out. I guess it also depends on what you're watching. Some YouTube TV channels looked perfectly fine from the side while others did not look good at all. Otherwise the picture is sharp, the colors are bright and the blacks are black. The built-in speakers are adequate and can be turned up loud.

Pros: It has an Ethernet port, the red/yellow/white AV ports, antenna port, coaxial port, optical output port, USB port, three HDMI ports and an audio jack. Anyone should be able to use this TV in whatever setup they have.

Although it feels like a brick, it's very lightweight and very easy to set up straight out of the box in less than 10 minutes. It seamlessly connected to WiFi - like, instantly - and once it completed its initial updates, I signed in with my Amazon account and was ready to add services.

Signing into the various streaming services was also easy by scanning a QR code for each, entering the codes and then they were good to go. The remote is light and responsive, but sometimes a small bit of lag when switching between apps. Maybe a hardwired Ethernet setup would eliminate this completely? I do like the integrated Alexa features and how smoothly Chromecast and AirPlay work.

Update: surprised to find that the TV functions just like an Echo Show/Ring doorbell viewer and can be set to automatically show the camera when you set up a Routine. It uses the entire screen, but can be minimized to PiP and a separate Routine to automatically return to what you were watching takes care of that.

Overall: solid and makes a great secondary or bedroom TV, but not good for hosting watch parties for sports or anything like that. I have it mounted in the kitchen/dining area where it's quiet enough to watch without external speakers. If mounting on the wall, definitely use a moveable mount for best picture quality.
