Consumer review (newegg.com)

Decent, but not great

 

I've been turned off on this brand due to the cons. I could live with everything else, but the ghosting is a show stopper for me. I gave it to my dad when his living room TV died and I was happy to see it go. He got a new TV for Christmas this year...

Bought in 2012 and it's still working after 3 years. Picture quality is ok, but not great. For the time, it was a great price for the size with multiple inputs. Works good as a monitor; I used on my HTPC. Some TV's have good panels for video, but suck...

Lots of ghosting, especially in dark scenes. Takes a long time to power on. Remote isn't bad, but not great. Buttons have a bit too much resistance. Speakers are total (expletive deleted); I expect more from built in speakers on a TV, as most people...

Works like a champ

 

I was rarely used. I bought two of these because of this price

We rarely use this television and had it for just under 2.5 years. The other night my wife was watching it in the bedroom and the TV made a loud pop like a firecracker, and TV didn't have a picture anymore but it did have sound. The blue light was...

It does qualify as a TV

This TV needs to stay out of stock and never restocked anywhere except for the recycling container. The Sceptre Customer Service representatives practice skeptical customer service practices. I'm done with this product. Next time I'm going to Best Buy...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Good, but slightly misleading

 

Good price for a TV of this size, but do realize there are better products and that this is best used in 1050p not 1080p.

Good price and plenty of ports to hook up different systems, PCs, etc. Has useful menu options for ratio control and a little bit of up-scaling control (I've seen better)

The TV can run things at 1080p, but turns out that it's native resolution is actually 1680x1050 and not true 1080p. Which means your video quality can be really messy. Running my PC through it at 1080 looks terrible, but running it 1050 looks great....
