I started my TV shopping journey with Best Buy and other "known high end" stores. I compared the cheap versions at each store. I needed something I could watch TV and play video games/Xbox One on. I was skeptical at first with the price and brand but after doing some research, all TVs are build on the same standards and you honestly are paying for the name. The picture is great and my video game experience is awesome! I have about a 100" wall to put this on and 55" was plenty! Walmart shopping was awesome as well! Only complaint and this can be resolved easily with a sound bar is the sound isn't crisp....it is ok but not perfect!
I would recommend this TV for people looking for a nice TV on a budget!

So after a year, I'm giving my rating.
When I first purchased this item I was thrilled. A 4K TV for under $450. Now I wish I had just saved a little more and spent the extra $200-$300 for a different brand.
STAY CLEAR OF THIS. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!
I'm slowly having pixlas fail. There in the past months and the TV is out of warranty. Walmart prides there self with quality and this TV is junk. There pixals fail in just over a year is unacceptable.
This TV has never been abused. It was hung on the wall and never touched.
The picture shows one of the three failed pixels, it's annoying to watch.

After reading many negative reviews, I felt it was worth taking a shot and purchased this TV. Maybe I just got lucky and got a good one, but for the price, I am very impressed with the size, the vibrant colors and the overall quality. The speakers are not the greatest but you can adjust them in the control panel to improve the sound. I like the legs that came with it, that are not cheap plastic, but rather metal. It took me less than 5 minutes to hook it up and enjoy viewing my shows. If you are looking for Bang for your buck and want a 55" TV, this is a great choice.
I ordered the Sceptre 55” HD TV on Thanksgiving Day and didn't expect delivery until the 10th of December, a full 2 weeks. Much to my surprise it arrived the following Tuesday the 3rd if December which was just fine with me!! So, being a 63 year old single woman I tried to find one of my friends to come help me set it up. When no one was available right then and because I am an impatient person, I decided to try it myself. It was very easy to unbox, put the footstands on and set up all by myself. The set up procedure was very easy and I was watching my new tv in less than 10-15 minutes. So far so good!! I have only had it less than a week and I love it! The picture is clear and bright, the sound is clear and crisp, there is nothing to complain about! I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this tv to anyone!
I had it shipped to my local Walmart. It arrived in perfect condition. The picture quality is great, but the sound is weak. I installed a sound bar and now it sounds very good. I was hesitant to purchase this tv, due to some bad reviews, but this one has no problems at all. This 55 in. High def. Tv for less than $350.00 is the best I've found.
It isn't perfect but is a great TV. Has a little light showing around edges, but not really enough to bother. For the price and it also not being a major brand, I'm satisfied with my purchase. Would recommend this television to friends.
I love this tv. The legs are metal, but if you can't make sure the bolts are tight because you don't have the strength, then they are very wobbly and unstable. The picture is great and stunning. The sound is not the best but you can adjust the sound settings and get a sound bar. Definitely worth the price you are paying for a 4K tv. ( picture is zoomed in so not the best and doesn't show how truely amazing the 4K is
I have received 3 U550CV 4K 55inch tv's from Walmart. The first had a broken screen. The second and third both had defective tv tuners. I contacted Sceptre tech service and was told I needed a new Antenna and Amp to boost my signal. I purchased a new attenna with amp and the 4K tv will still not receive air stations. As a test I connected another Sceptre TV E243BD I own and it received 41 stations on my new attenna. The 4K U550CV received Zero. See attached pictures. HELP.
When I first purchased this item I was thrilled. A 4K TV for under $450. Now I wish I had just saved a little more and spent the extra $200-$300 for a different brand.

The TV arrived via FedEx with a shattered screen. No obvious damage to the box. I am giving this initial experience one star mainly because it will take two weeks before my replacement arrives via site to store shipping.
I will post a review of the TV if I can ever get one that works.
1. NEWS FLASH !!** Most tv broadcast, cable transmissions, and dvds are not broadcasting in 4k yet. Just because everyone is on this 4k hype wagon doesn't mean you will see 4k broadcast. The tv will only show what whatever the transmission is all the way up to 4k. But in reality most broadcast are 720 or 1080 and at 60hz So while you are ahead of the game with a 4k tv.. It will be a while before it will become a normal thing. But it it Human nature to buy the Newest and Biggest thing. Remember 3D and Blu Ray? how often are they used now? But this is a Great Price from a good tv maker ( Have 2 Sceptres with no problems so far) . Id say get this TV but dont expect 4K all the time.
2. The Product i am looking at Yes is 4k output, when your source is 4k input i.e. 4k blu-ray, or designated 4k program. The TV clearly states 60Hz refresh. Which is fine unless your playing fast moving video games.
4. Most 4k TVs up-convert lower resolution input such as 720p or 1080p to 4k. The conversion process from 1080p usually creates a much clearer image than a standard 1080p display. Though it is generally not as good as direct 4K input I have found it much better than watching an older 1080p display of the same size. Sometimes it seems like movie quality.
5. 120hz is an effect you enable by turning on MEMC in the menu of the TV. 720P is showing because you're giving the TV a 720P signal. Make sure you supply the TV with a 4K 2160P signal and the TV will display the resolution accordingly.
1. This one does have a digital tuner, but you most likely need an antenna to pick up your local channels. It will certainly help.
There is no more antenna built in to this than any other tv
