Sceptre Slim 40 Inch LED HDTV 1080p X415BV-FSR True Black (2017 Model)

Well you get what you pay for. I didnt have a lot of money to spend on a TV, so I snagged this during cyber Monday. The company that sold it was actually great because after finding out the shipping was slightly delayed due to the holidays they took off another 20 dollars off the already on sale price. When the TV finally arrived, I spent a good half an hour trying my best to get the sound to not be absolutely horrible. The only luck I had was to turn the treble and base all the way up. But it still sounds pretty aweful. In fact, the volume doesnt go high at all... when turning it up - I hear no difference between volume 30 to max volume. That is, only a quarter of the volume range seems to do anything. After that, it doesnt get any louder. All that to say, I am hoping I get a soundbar for christmas because I cant hear this tv unless the room is silent. On the bright side... I did get a great looking TV for the price! I just wish I didnt then need to go out to get a sound bar.

If youre looking for super cheap pixels - youve found it. It does a good job at being large and vibrant - not to mention absurdly light weight (the box+packing material weighs more... I am serious). The tradeoff is sound. The stock speakers (rear mounted) are woefully underpowered and need to be cranked up to over half just to get *any* audio out. If you are using these for any form of entertainment, youre going to want to run the rca outs to a decent receiver (even then... it still seemed very weak on the output side). for 140ish, its a good picture -- so plan accordingly for what you need this thing to do.
