Many of the negative reviews are based on issues with SHIPPING, and have NOTHING to do with the TV! I paid $1330 for this awesome TV 1.5 years ago, and thought that was a great price. The TV is almost always on and it still looks and functions perfectly. Now I see Walmart is selling it for $799! OMG I should stock up! lol This TV is incredible! The picture is phenomenal and has many different options for picture settings that can easily be accessed. The sound is not good for watching loud movies in your living room or listening to music. But who the heck is gonna buy a ginormous 75" TV and not install a surround sound speaker system or, at the least, a soundbar? I have another Sceptre in my bedroom. It's a 60" and sounds just fine for bedroom use without a soundbar. All in all, a fantastic TV at an even better price!
