Consumer review (newegg.com)

Sad but it's a lemon

Very Sad I threw away 200+ dollars for this garbage. Wish Newegg would hold them to a higher standard.

The picture was great for about 4 1/2 hours

This TV failed and picture started distorting after 4 and a half hours. Now when it's on the picture will distort then start blinking and finally just go black. Not sure if they actually refurbished anything on these. It looks like they re-boxed them...

Changhong Customer Support is Nonexistent

Picture is good

Sound is horrendous. TV Picture went out after 10 months. Called and emailed Changhong several times over the course of a week. Calls were never answered by a live person. Calls always went to voicemail on their main "support" line. Never got any...

Lasted only 6 months

Pay a little more to get a better TV.

Cheap alternative for an LED TV

Unfortunately it only lasted around 6 months. One day the TV would go all white. Turning it off and on won't help. Found some information online said to unplug it over night and it worked again. This time for about a month and happened again. It is...

Was nice while it lasted

Solid picture for the price, good contrast

Detail was lacking quite a bit, on PS4 the TV output was limited to 1080i, motion blur was a noticeable issue, no optical digital output, you can get a far better TV for 50 bucks more

extremely slow write speed, slow read speed

i don't know what to do to get an RMA or if there is any warranty on this back order product ... i'm lost.

at first it was really a good deal , clear image , high res , high contrast

after 8 months 2 lines of dead pixels appeared out of the blue ... 1 vertical , and 1 horizontal

Excellent TV

Just like what the title says, excellent TV. Its one of those sleepers where your considering buying it but its a no-name, probably gonna break in a day or two sort of thing. I am NOT one of those people that buys off-brand electronics but this TV just...

Great picture, plenty of ports, great color.....and best price

Not as many display/picture options as you may expect from a tv nowadays ; Stand doesn't inspire confidence but works just fine all the same

Is mine defective? Or is this just a "feature"?

Whenever I use the sleep timer, the TV does go off like it's supposed to, but it won't kick back over from standby mode back to "on". Is this a feature? Or is my unit defective? Usually, all sleep timers are supposed to do is shut off the TV after a...

Energy efficient ; Very slim ; Sleek ; Modern ; Small Footprint ; Easy-To-Assemble Stand

Backlight very weak ; Eco" mode makes the TV very undesirable to watch, very dark

Bang for your buck

By no means will this TV blow you away with its picture quality but for the price you really can't beat it. My girlfriend and I live in a small 1 BR apartment, and this is as big of a TV as we need. I have this hooked up to my media center to watch...

Very satisfied with this TV so far, can't expect much more for 300$ on sale ; No stuck or dead pixels, picture quality is decent ; No back light bleeding, no ghosting ; I thought I might be in for a harsh lesson in buying brands that aren't...

Has weird feet things on the side to keep the TV from toppling over ; Preset color/brightness configurations could use some work

Good TV for the price

Very good price for such product. I do not have much to complain. It is much lighter than the one we got couple years ago

I do not like the remote control or maybe I did not use it correctly. I have to press it a bit harder or has to point it to the certain spot. Besides, to set it up was not that easy. Have to find a right tool. ChangHong is actually a well known brand...

Solid tv at this price

I'd give it 3.5 eggs, subtracting for the dynamic contrast being stuck on and the presets revolving and defaulting on their own. I can't really speak yet to the quality of its color capabilities, as I haven't really sat down and calibrated the thing....

This is a pretty darn good tv at this price. Picture is fairly sharp. I appreciate the thin bezel. Shipped with no dead or stuck pixels

Every time I turn the tv on, it defaults to a different preset (ECO, vivid, game, user, etc), seemingly at random. A couple of times, it actually reset the changes I had made to the "user" setting. Pretty irritating. If anyone knows why this is I'd...
