Consumer review (newegg.com)

Beautiful Picture

Probably find a better deal for the same price now.

This item was packaged like no other. Really effective and well designed packing. Arrived in perfect condition. Beautiful picture. Newegg delivery got it here within a day or two.

I saw some reviews about the video being slightly behind the audio before I bought it. These reviews are totally true. 14 ms is a lot of time, I guess. I didn't know before, but I do now. Surprising, it didn't bother me near as much as what I thought....

I apparently got lucky

I don't know why all the other reviews are so bad. I didn't go into this TV with high expectations I just needed a cheap upgrade and saw this goes on sale here all the time and figured i'd check it out. for 300$ I never expected a good warranty but...

-300$ on sale -plays my games fairly well but have to interlace desktop -good picture out of box -lasted me 2 years already

-speakers are so so but are useable so guess not a con -had to tweak settings out of box to get rid of ghosting and get a clean picture

Avoid

I do not recommend purchasing this product

Great Picture

First TV broke within warranty. Can only be repaired by mailing to California at a $61 shipping fee. Could not repair first TV, Changhong sent a new TV which has broken in less than a month. Bought a TV for my GF the RCA inputs do not work. Overall a...

Great cheap TV

Great picture. Cartoons (Archer) seems to be upscaled but still reads as 1080P. Lines are very crisp. Refresh is good even in PS4 games.

No deactivate ability for disconnected inputs. Old protocols so no 4K ability from my Fire TV. Slow on/off cycle

Great Set after some tuning.

If you want a great uhd TV and don't need all the bells and whistles get this set. As 4k makes its way to the masses this thing can only get better.

I will be honest I was a little scared to make this purchase based on other users reviews but if I could give this tv 4.5 stars I would. Don't get me wrong this set it not without its shortcomings but overall you can't beat this deal. I hooked this set...

After about a year of use I began to get some flickering that other users had mentioned. I had purchased the three year warranty for this unit and since it is direct from china there apparently are no parts. Warranty services is giving me a new TV.

Changhong Ultra HD LED TV

NewEgg was very courteous and customer-oriented. Referred me to Changhong, manufacturer, for warranty assistance, as product was not opened until more than 30 days after I received shipment. Contacting Changhong turned out to be a complete disaster....

Image looked really sharp upon box opening and initial power-up.

Picture started to melt on 2nd day of use, then on the 3rd day unit completely died. No sound, no picture, totally dead.

works... for awhile.

Get the extended warranty on this. I don't know if I have expired the original warranty, but I'm sure if you buy this thing, you'll need it.

cheap, very nice image quality, even with some small ghosting. Looks nice too, and will look nicer once I get this thing replaced with a new one.

Noticeable delay - almost .5 sec, which doesn't seem like it would be a long time, but it makes working on this monitor difficult at times. Also, it worked for about 3-4 months before it went on the fritz... I thought it was the HDMI connection, but...

DO NOT BUY!

wish i could give this thing 0 stars

None at all.

First off it takes the TV like 15 seconds to turn on. Secondly the input lag on this TV is unreal its either that or the refresh rates are terrible. If you want a TV to game on do not buy this one it might be good for cable but I don't know I do not...

Very slow as computer monitor

This might make a decent tv, but slow computer monitor

Cheap. Looks nice. Clear picture

Very bad as computer monitor. Refresh rate is 24hz, which is extremely slow. When i mice the mouse, the pointer on the screen lags very bad, making it difficult to do simple tasks. This would be a terrible gaming monitor. Also, I'm having trouble...

Input lag/Delay.

If you're planning on playing video games, do not buy this TV.

It's a nice TV all in all, if you ignore the fact that there's a lag between the image and everything else.

There's a lag between the image and everything else. Sound and button pressing (in video games.) Some websites say that if you put your picture in "Game Mode", on some TV it may help, but for that TV, it just doesn't. I've tried every options, and it...
