Very low end 4K TV

This was on sale for less then $500 for Black Friday. I thought a 4k for that price was a bargain. It wasn't. The picture particularly the color out of the box was terrible. It was so bad I had seriously considered going to the hassle of returning it, after giving it a week tryout. The TV picture seemed like it took it several hours to warm up, as it got better after some time passed This is not counting that after owning the TV for almost 2 weeks, I'm still fiddling with the picture adjustments to get it watchable. It took forever for me to get colors to look close to proper colors. Blues out of the box were purple-gray, faces were yellow, or white-red with flair. The good news is there are several different base settings that can all be adjusted depending on tastes, and those settings can be changed for each input source. The bad news is that's a lot of adjusting. The TV refresh is only 60 and not 120, even though it's listed as "TruMotion 120Hz". It's 60 with an upscale to simulate 120 and it's no where near a 120Hz quality for sports It advertises "Tru-4K Upscaler". This is also misleading as it only works on one HDMI input source and only if your source is compatible. For me that was my PS4, but not my HD cable box. BluRay movies did look incredible when upscaled to 4K. I had a few other minor personal quibbles with the set, such as the 3 HDMI inputs are all in the rear, and not one on the side as I hook my computer to my TV at times to see work presentations. The audio out is only Optical Cable which meant I had to rearrange the audio in my separate receiver as I prefer an RCA cable for audio to my receiver. The bottom line is this TV is very comparable to a decent 1080p TV in the same $500 price range, which would have better colors and better refresh rate and this "4K" isn't a bargain at all, as it's a low end "4K". So long as you know what you are getting it's not a bad TV, it's just a $500 TV, and not a great priced "4K" TV.Read full review
