I purchase this TV to replace my CRT on which the brightness and contrast cannot be increased any more and the picture often turns dull yellow. What a difference in the picture and sound. Even the black and white shows look fantastic. This is a great TV for the money and it has very simple and basic features. Its perfect for me because I just want digital broadcast channels and to play DVD movies. Those who are looking for a smart TV will have to buy something else. I like this one better than the $800 flat screen I used to have before the hot weather caused it to have a melt down. The screen size is perfect for a small room and you wont sacrifice quality to get a good picture. The base is stable once you get it assembled. Unfortunately, the quality of the LED display on my set has diminished in less than a year so I had it set out to Sceptre to have it repaired or replaced. The picture became very dull and the color, contrast and tint are no longer as good as what they were when the set was new. Customer service claimed the TV was fine and are sending it back to me having done nothing. It cost me $32 to ship it to them for nothing even though the set was still under warranty. So beware.

Have only owned the TV since March of this year. Now it is randomly resetting the picture and audio controls back to the factory preset condition. Sometimes it plays for 3 or 4 days and then resets. Very disappointed. Should have paid more and bought a good brand - LG. I have 4 LG sets that work flawlessly. One is 10 years old and still works fine. And of course this set is out of the return policy and support policy by Amazon. When this set works correctly it does have a good quality picture on it.

I purchased this TV for a small bedroom. It was pretty easy to set up, though the screws to attach the stand were hard to get into the back. The stand does not move/swivel at all, so TV must be at the right level for where youre viewing it from. The picture was fine. Like I said, I put this in a small bedroom, but the sound was TERRIBLE! It was no more than 6 ft away from where I was sitting, and with the sound all the way up to 100, I couldnt even make out what people were saying. It was louder putting my iPhone on the same stand next to the TV and playing it on half volume. I wouldnt purchase this unless you planned to hook it up to a sound system.
