This TV is all one could want in a 40" LED set! SO easy to set up... Written instructions clear (not garbled Chinese to English translations). I'm 74 and "electronically challenged" LOL... The set virtually set itself up. If I can do it, ANYONE can do it.
I have Dish Network, and after turning on set, it began searching for channels. Of course there were none to find. I simply opened menu and found "Input". Selected "Cable" and it found my Dish. In seconds I was watching TV with NO work on my part! I don't even know WHAT channel it's tuned to.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE! For proper resolution picture, and proper sound, this or ANY set MUST be connected with MODERN cable/cables, capable of delivering a proper signal. I used a new HDMI 1.0 cable. Do NOT hook this up with the rotting RCA cables you saved from your 1960 bedroom stereo... LOL! I believe poor/improper cables account for most of the negative reviews on picture and sound-quality.
Contrary to some reviews, I find THIS $159 set to have a fabulous 1080 DPI picture, and decent (average) but decent sound. Both picture and sound have a LOT of internal adjustments in the menu. Most users will be able to fine-tune to their tastes... ESPECIALLY the picture!!!
PLEASE NOTE: I found I had to use my DISH remote-control (adjusted to "RCA" TV code) to change resolution. Originally, set was running 720 DPI and I needed to use my DISH remote to change to 1080.
Don't expect thumping bass and glass-shattering treble sound... But Internal speakers are plenty good enough for normal viewing, but if you want major stereo sound, add external speakers. I'm quite happy with the factory speakers.
Picture is as good as it gets... Razor-sharp: Bugs yer' eyes out in a dark room... LOL!
fast refresh. As good as any expensive 1080 DPI set I've seen including my living-room 55" high-end Sony.
My Wife and I are VERY happy with this TV in our bedroom. Can't really find a thing to complain about, and highly recommend it (especially for the price).
The BEST features in my opinion are the superb picture, clear instruction manual and SUPER-EASY setup, even for folks like me who don't do well with anything electronic... ALSO, on the back are NUMEROUS inputs... 3 HDMI ports, RCA ports, VGA PC port, phone, headphone and others. You can connect ANYTHING to this set!
SIDE NOTE: The packing box showed signs of serious impact... But the TV was undamaged. So it must be fairly robust. And it's lightweight enough that you're not likely to drop it while installing...
In summary, I rate everything about this set as exceptional except the sound, which I rate as average, but good enough. FIVE STARS overall! An EXCELLENT value! And, yes, I realize it's NOT actually made by "RCA". But the new owners of the logo did little Nipper proud! BOW-WOW!
