Bought this as a cheap replacement when my old TV died. I wasnt expecting much to begin with, other than a screen to play SNES and Switch games on. For this purpose, its great for a refurbished product. The picture and sound quality are acceptable for what I use it for. However, this TV is described as having an ATSC Tuner and, while it does have the firmware to match, it simply does not work. You can scan all you want til the cows come home but you will not find any channels from local free broadcast. Online research has brought up several other Element television owners encountering the same issue. Perhaps the ATSC Tuners in these units are oft DOA. Perhaps theres just a large faulty batch. Some suggest Element is stealthily depleting a reserve of deprecated analog tuners (tuners must be digital in this era). Whatever the case, youll likely need to buy an external ATSC Tuner if you want to watch local programming on one of these. Though the issue is with functionality I did not originally purchase the product for, I feel I must subtract a star from the rating for what is slight false advertising. Ideally, Id love for Element or Amazon to comp me an external tuner, but Im not going to hold my breath on that one.

The picture and sound quality is really great... when it works. I can turn it on and it will sometimes stay on for five minutes, sometimes 10 seconds, but then the TV will just shut itself off. And sometimes I can turn it back on, but most of the time I cant. I can see the power LED light dimming and brightening, so it sounds like an internal power issue. Ive checked online and it looks like a number of people have had this issue, so it sounds pretty common. You might roll the dice and get lucky with one that works, but personally Id spend the extra money and just get a Vizio. Theyre fairly priced and havent had any issues with one yet.

I purchased 5 of these for our building as digital signs, and unfortunately they sat in the warehouse for 6 months before we could install them. When we did, we discovered that they DO NOT receive digital QAM signals from our digital modulator. All other TVs that I have worked with do, as this is the way most cable channels transmit their digital in the clear channels. You get what you pay for...

We purchased 7 of these for a rental property. Of the 7, 2 seem to work fine, One does not start, one screen is cracked, one has a line in the low corner, and the other two have color issues turns on blue and one mostly red. Needless to say I would not recommend these "refurbs".

I was hesitant about buying after some reviews. I ordered one and was so happy with it, I ended up buying another. Both are in perfect condition and work well. Update: we have now noticed that on each of the TVs, one or two of the hdmi ports do not work. Please check these asap if you buy this product. We decided it is not worth the time to return as we will not likely need all hdmi ports as these will be used in the kids bedrooms. But I am disappointed that this issue was not fixed before being sent to us.

Really nice and lightweight, picture quality is nice, but that really is a personal preference kind of thing. The touch controls on the TV housing are on the bottom center of the viewing screen, which can be great or horrible, depending on your intended use. The television this one was replacing had a pedestal mount, and stood about 6 to 8 inches above the stand we were using, so the "4 legs" mounting seems REALLY short (only 1 and a half inches between the bottom of the bezel and the surface), but in another context, it is also low profile. Getting the color settings right has proven a bit difficult as the color/brightness/tint values change based on the input used. In my previous experience, I could make the adjustments once, and it would apply to all inputs for the display, on this one, it needs radical retuning on each input separately.

I bought this refurbished TV based solely on a price. I was looking for a 32" for my office and didnt need anything fancy. After connecting everything the remote control sensor on the TV was broken and would not receive signals from the remote. One of the two HDMI inputs did not work. On the bright side of this purchase; Amazon issued full credit to me and return authorization to send it back at no cost to me. buying any product that has been refurbished is taking a risk. No hard feelings from this customer. Amazon treated me fairly. I ended up buying an RCA 32" brand-new for the same price.

I ordered this particular television because we needed one asap. We had a larger flat screen and the screen just went totally black but still had sound. This television is better then I anticipated because I didnt figure I would get that good a quality being as it didnt cost all that much. But it has blown my mind. We love it. Not as big as the last one but serves its purpose. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering purchasing one.
