Sceptre 50-inch 4K UHD Ultra Slim LED TV 3840x2160 MHL Metal Black

I bought this TV to use as a reliable, user-friendly desktop monitor, and it works great. I wanted one that will stay on all day without an automated power save mode that requires a wakeup every 20 minutes. (Just threw away an LG that had a power save mode that could not be turned off, and had no product support) Sceptre picture is vivid and I have had zero problems after 4 months. Most of the sound I listen to are YouTube videos where concert hall quality is not needed. At the price, this TV could be replaced once a year and still be a fair value.As for being labeled a "dumb tv", I disagree. It is a TV with basic features that are well executed. It is not a smart tv that is loaded with many unwanted and useless features.As for sound quality, what do you expect from the least expensive TV? If you want concert sound, buy a sound bar.

As others have said, for the price you can't lose. Before you buy this sure that it meets your needs. Everything on my new TV works as advertised. I couldn't be happier. I'm using it digital audio out to a Samsung Soundbar. I also use ROKU, TIVO, and an old Western Digital Media Player. My usage requires 4 remotes. Does anyone know if there is a universal remote that can connect to this Scepter TV. Model Number U515CV-UMRD8WTTV58GA. Final Thought, if in doubt, Buy This. They appear to not be producing this model at this price, anymore.

The picture is great and we adjusted to the thinner sounding speakers. The issue is that, when used with a Playstation 5, the TV goes says it's "unsupported" and we lose picture.The thing we've attributed this to ia the different games and video streaming services bouncing having different resolutions and the TV not keeping up with the changes. After enabling HDMI 2.0 on the TV, it keeps up a little better but still does do it sometimes. You have to turn the TV off, change inputs or otherwise get it to reset. It's really inconvenient.

This is a good quality dumb TV - just what I was looking for! Finally a TV that isn't slow, doesn't need updates, doesn't have to reboot, can't load software I don't want. It just turns on and does its job. Hooks up to my Roku. Perfect. Just got it today. I'll update this review if it doesn't hold up over time.

PLEASE READ MY REVIEW BEFORE BUYING(my experience could have been an anomaly, however, I must share my experience)The TV had decent quality definition from a distance, however at $300 dollars the outcome of this TV is unacceptable. Since I got this TV I mounted it to the wall, and have used it (had it on fairly sparingly) i'd expect a few hours each day. It has not moved once in 15 months. Now randomly the screen is completely dieing and putting up northern lights with no screen input.This TV hasn't moved once since i've owned it. I've owned computer monitors for a third of the price that have remained effectively perpetually on for years, and have moved through long car drives and received some dinks here or there, that haven't had an artifact of screen death on them, so to have this TV fail after sitting motionless and lightly used after 15 months is really unacceptable, and my impression would be this company has issues with the quality of their manufacturing process.I've reached out to the company about warranty through their RMA process and customer support to see about replacing this TV, but I'm skeptical they'll make me whole here. I would caution purchasing any sceptre products.IF THE COMPANY FOLLOWS UP WITH ME I WILL EDIT THIS REVIEW WITH MY EXPERIENCE, OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF TAKING MY 300 ELSEWHERE.

I don't like those smart TV's. Don't use most of the things they offer and it costs too much. This TV is really nice and has a beautiful picture. Was very easy set up and I hooked up my fire stick to it and all is well. No complaints. Very good TV for the price. Would recommend this to anyone.

Customer support is 8:30 am to 5:30 pm PST M-F - i.e. worthless for people who work.I plug in my home theater and I get no sound, none from DVD, Bluerays, or CD. Unplug TV and CD plays great.No help on their website - this thing going back to Amazon if I cannot Google the problem.Nice metal back case, small form factor mounting point (funny as I was replacing 43” with a 49”)Ordered up to date HDMI cable - still kills sound. Seems to be some sort of copy protection handshake issue as Chromecast works fine. If I have to update Blueray player to make this work I am not sure I am going to keep it - will ship it back.Ok still does not allow sound to play when connected to home theater - that and business hours only support for a home entertainment item will only merit a three from a 1 start review. If I connect my BlueRay in direct I get sound, speakers are ok but the fact that this has some sort of copy protection system that is not at all referenced on the support site is killing two stars. Crap support.Decent packaging, nice picture, ok remote (copy of old Vizio remote) Delivered by Ontrac a day early OMG better than a day late or never. I feel listing the shipper is relevant as my recent history with cut rate shippers now must factor in what I order so anyone on the west coast beware this item ships with Ontrac (another reason it cannot get 5 starts).

I had to purchase an Amazon Fire stick separately, but no problems with the TV at all. Using it with the fire stick, and boom - smart TV. Performance is there, contrast seems good, brightness is pretty good, and its 4K. Great Buy.
