Sceptre 24" FHD 1080P LED TV HDMI VGA VESA Wall Mount Ready, Metal Black 2019 (E246BV-F)

Comment

Im amazed I got a 1080p 24 TV at ~$90; which has good picture quality after I set it up the way I liked. But Ill be honest and say that I was very unsatisfied when I turned on the TV for the first time and tried playing my PS4 on it. There was a lot of blue light and it hurt my eyes a bit, and the colors looked ugly. Unfortunately, none of the preset picture modes are even good; and they give a terrible impression on what the TV is actually capable of. But after some time messing with the settings, I finally made it have the picture quality that I had hoped for. What I did: 1. Menu --> Picture ---> Picture Settings ---> Picture Mode: User 2. Brightness: 55. Contrast: 47. Color: 70. Tint: +10. Sharpness: 15. 3. Go back to Picture menu, and then set Screen Size to Full 100%. 4. Set Color Temperature to Warm. 5. Go to Advanced Picture Settings, and set Dynamic Contrast to On. The picture quality looks a lot better like this, and I encourage anyone who buys this TV to take the time to adjust the picture settings. The TV looks great with HD video games; I tested it out on The Forest, Worms W.M.D., Minecraft, and Gang Beasts. Anime and movies look great on it as well. Also, I connected headphones to the TV. I set up my sound settings like this: Sound Mode to Dynamic, AVL to On, Equalizer Settings to Pop mode. The sound quality is good overall with everything such as games, movies, and music; but that also depends on the headphones used too. I dont plan on using this TV without headphones. In the end, I needed a replacement TV after my 8 year old 24" 1080p TV stopped functioning. I didnt want to spend too much money, but I definitely wanted 1080p. And this TV delivered. Luckily, this TV also has the ports that I needed, such as a headphone jack and AV composite. Theres only one HDMI port, but I can remedy that by getting a HDMI hub. Overall, this is a great budget TV. I hope the pictures I provided help. And thank you for taking the time to read this review. :)

It works like it should.The menus are well designed. The firmware shows no glitches. The tuner pulls. For the price, there must be compromises. Im not sensitive to them. 1080p on a 24" screen looks good. Perhaps it doesnt have the color gamut of a more expensive set. Perhaps the black level is a little high. The available inputs indicate this is a holdover design, made from leftover assemblies. It actually has an analog VGA port. but only one HDMI.The remote caters to full direct OTA channel selection, unlike the more modern web TVs. The complaint about inadequate audio is valid if you are planning to locate the set away from the viewer,say, across the room. Its fine to put on a coffee table. It may be a consideration for those who suffer extreme age related hearing impairment.The headphone output cannot drive my dads Sennheiser phones up to the point where the yellow "compression" indicator flickers. This is a consideration only for those who have extreme hearing impairment.

Extremely disappointed. I purchased it as a replacement for my 3 year old Sharp kitchen TV which even now compares more favorably to this one. For a supposed hi def TV, the picture quality and colors are not sharp at all. On top of that, the sound is very tinny and irritatingly high pitched. No matter how I tried to tweak it, I couldnt improve it at all. I dont think it would even make a good computer monitor. Bottom line, I recommend passing this one up.

The gift recipient loved it. Said it takes every input required and fits the space available perfectly. And the price was excellent at under $120.

This TV is awesome. Its the perfect size for my room, theres great picture, and great sound. Its only got 1 HDMI but thatll do me for now. If youre looking for a big living room TV, then you probably dont want this, but its perfect for a little bedroom or a college dorm.

I bought two of these to use as computer monitors. One was defective and had to be returned, but it was free and they sent a replacement. Could have been faster but Im satisfied with what I got for what I paid.

Making the picture bright enough without blowing out the skin tones is impossible. Worst speakers ever - really tinny. Controlling sound volume with a Roku remote is inconsistent. Sometimes, you can only change the volume 1 way. Pushing up makes it lower while or pushing lower makes it lower OR pushing up makes it higher and pushing lower makes it higher OR sometimes the remote works. Only positive thing to say about it was it was cheap. Wont feel as bad when we drop it at a recycling center later this summer when we find a decent bedroom TV.
