Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Great TV for the price! The up conversion is hit or miss but mostly it is a hit. I've been recording videos in HD, 1080p for many many years, wedding videos and such and they looked great on a 1080p TV but the up conversion makes them look even better! Somehow it can even break down the strands of hair and make them stand out. With the 720p upconversion, it still looks good. When you start going lower and lower like 480 then it starts to look blotchy and sometimes even worse than the original. The overall picture is great! The screen is bright, the blacks are solid, the colors are vivid and brilliant, it truly looks great! with the 120hz, I don't see too much motion lag in faster action movies, I haven't watched sports with it yet though. The sound, blah... terrible! No matter what anyone else says, it's only good enough to listen to, nothing great. I just hooked up a set of powered PC speakers to it for now and they sound much better. The menu is super simple and easy to navigate and use, it is very intuitive. The remote is the same, it has enough features and the buttons are placed where you would expect them to be. The video and other menu's though are very simplistic. By default, you are able to select most of their pre-programmed and use them easily. They honestly look great already, I don't believe many people will want to deviate from that. But there is an advanced menu as well where you can change all the individual settings like saturation, hue, warmth, and the others. From what I have experienced, seen previously, and researched as well Sony and Samsung make the best TVs if you pay for one of their higher end models but for the price and value this TV can't be beat. I'm glad I paid the extra $50 for this 2017 version over the 2016 version. If anyone is looking at the 2016 model, here are the main differences I seen between them: 1) 2016 has no HDR, so no true black and no vivid color contrast 2) 2016 energy star rating is not as well, I think you will save about $11 - 15 in electricity bills in a year with the 2017 model. So in 2 or 3 years it will pay for the difference. I would highly recommend this TV to anyone who is looking for an EXCELLENT low or moderate budget TV. It is also great for someone who is not as "tech savoy" as the remote and menu's are easy to use. I can only compare this to a Septre 50" 4K TV I bought last year to see how the videos and picture would look on a 4K TV. The video on this TV is much brighter and distinguished, the upconversion on it is much better, the sound on the Septre was better though than this one.
