If this TV lasts, it will be one of the best purchases I have ever made. Overall Review: If your worried about the quality of the picture, I can assure you it is not an issue. That is based more on chinese quality and never having heard of this name brand before rather than what I have seen from the TV thus far. NEWEGG, WHEN 3 DAY SHIPPING IS PURCHASED USE FEDEX! Naughty naughty UPS.Ħ0 hertz.tho to be honest I have a hard time telling the difference between 120 hertz and 60 hertz.īuild quality seems okay but I am a little worried how long this TV will last just on principal. Kinda funny that my main purchase is taking longer to be shipped to me than a 50 inch TV. Wish I could say the same for the laptop I bought in order to get this TV which I still havent recieved. Was planning on selling it because I figured the picture would be terrible, but I am keeping it now.ītw newegg shipping time on this TV was awesome. I sell TV's at best buy and I can honestly say this led is as nice as any of the others I have to stare at all day lol. The sound is louder and clearer than any other led TV I have owned.

I got this TV free with the purchase of the msi gs70 stealth laptop and expected this TV to be sub par at best, but this TV is as nice as the other Samsung TV's in my house. I cant believe how taken back I was by the quality of the picture in 1080p. But for our master bedroom, I have no regrets. If I want to game or watch movies, I go to my big Sony in the den with the Harmon-Kardon 7.1 sound system and enjoy. Even at the latest price ($400 on Newegg), it is a killer deal. If you want more features or 120Hz or killer dark image, spend more money. I paid $360.99 delivered, and for that price, there is not another 50” set that equals it. Keeping the brightness and contrast at 50 will give you a good picture even on dark scenes, so problems cited regarding dark picture quality are, for a good part, user-compromise by playing with the wrong settings. Starting by cutting the backlight will also (1) use less power, and (2) reduce light bleed. The basic issue is too much initial backlight and color. All the adjustment recommendations you read in other comments posted that play with contrast and brightness and ignore backlight are trying to solve the problem the wrong way. I have DNR at Middle (default) after trying all three options. I also have Contrast 50, Brightness 50, Sharpness 60, Tint 0, and Color Temp at R52 G50 B48. With just these two adjustments, the picture will look fairly normal. Now go up to the top of the Picture menu, and set the mode to “User”, followed by reducing Saturation to 40. First, go to Picture in the menu, drop down and turn off the Energy Mode, then go down the menu to Backlight which you can now adjust, and lower it to around 40. You can monkey with a lot of settings, but two basic adjustments make a world of difference and are the place to start. Make sure they are not under the screen by peeking under the front once you have the TV out of the box and flat.Īs far as picture adjustment, the default is typical over-bright for retail store display. Now it will also be easy to attach the base while taking less risk with damaging the set. Tilt more and pull the box off, or have someone hold the top of the set while you pull the box off. Lay the box FACE DOWN on a soft surface (carpet, bed, table or floor covered with a blanket) with the downward top lid folded under, tilt up slightly at the bottom end, and the set will begin to slide out. It is NOT hard to get out of the box! Remove the glass base, top and corner styro, bag with remote, and cardboard in front of the display (and loose AA’s if you see them). Like others, mine arrived with zero dead pixels. Truth is, several TV labels you do recognize in the U.S. Changhong may not be a familiar name in the U.S., but it has dominated China for decades. But at this price and screen size and very decent picture quality it is a steal. This is a fairly basic and very nice looking HDTV. To criticize because it lacks some higher-end feature is missing this point. Overall Review: Common sense says this is not a feature-laden set with all the bells and whistles. Some gripe about menus, but I did not find them difficult to understand. Setup might be more difficult for the tech-challenged, but it is not that hard. Good picture is not hard to get if you make the right adjustment first.Ĭons: Remote is small and a bit light to hold, but gets the job done.
