Great tele picture is brilliant only problem was feet are right at the ends of tv so had to buy a new tv stand because it wouldn’t fit on my old one which already had a 50 inch tv on it so be careful to measure properly
This is a great tv. It replaced my old TV which wasn’t digital. Just the right size for my bedroom. Still find out new features. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
Really good tv, does the job, sometimes struggles to get on the internet but otherwise no complaints for the price
Its a nice TV only 4 stars because it is let down by sound quality (could be a lot better)
This is a decent little TV for the money, the picture is pretty good and it looks the part. Set up was simple straight out the box and, unlike some TV’s today, you’re straight into the Play store so there’s no limitation on the apps you can download. Processing speeds do seem to be a little slow and the only other problem I have is the remote, which despite being very intuitive, has had to be reset three times. It’s easy to do, remove the batteries, hold down the #1 button, batteries back in, but annoying.
So in short, it’s not perfect but at 150 it’s difficult to complain.
Really light in weight, only just received this so can’t really add much more but for the money seems decent.
Poor instructions, but fairly intuitive on screen set-up. You need your passwords for Wi-Fi, Netflix etc, The channel set up in Freeview is confusingly different, but works quite well once you have made a note of the new numbers. Netflix and Prime are fine. I have yet to link to Bluetooth or chrome cast, but will keep trying. Good sharp picture, but the sound is not up to much, but just about acceptable. You have to unplug at the wall to turn off the set, otherwise a bright red light is on all the time. Nearly sent it all back, but I will persevere as the set is light, looks fine, and the picture is good.
Perfect size for our kitchen/diner & very easy to set as ours is connected to a mini Sky Q box. Only negative is the sound is quite tinny.
Bought this to replace a 55″ Sharp TV which suffered a stress fracture to the screen (accident).
Had the ROKU TV two weeks now and very pleased. In comparison to the Sharp TV this is on anther planet.
The picture quality is excellent and the sound (which was terrible on the Sharp) is fantastic.
The remote control is a joy to use with plenty of dedicated buttons for Netflix, Apple TV etc.
Its only early days but its been good so far.
Amazon delivery very good and we kept updated with the delivery slot.
Very pleased with this standard tv bought as a replacement for a much more expensive 40 inch HD model that packed up on me. Everything about it is just right, in fact I think the HD pictre quality’s better than my old tv. It’s really light in weight, does everything it’s supposed to. No smart apps…I didn’t use them anyway so it wasn’t a problem. Totally reccomended.
Picture is solid, but definitely needs help with sound quality.
Was looking for a little tv for my granddaughters bedroom for when she comes and stays. I didn’t want to spend a fortune but I wanted quality as well so I went with this one. Only downside is it’s very lightweight. Picture quality is OK good enough for a 6 year old nice little tv big chunky remote at least it won’t get lost for the price I am happy with purchase so fa
Setup could be easier, Because I am in Guernsey, I could not choose that option as it’s not there.
It has a Good Picture, Sound is OK, Delivered on time, Reasonable price for a 55in TV, was actually only about 15 more than my first TV 22in in 1977 😉
Purchased 40 inch for an elderly neighbour who doesn’t have an internet connection. Surprising how light it is which is good news for wall mounters. Auto install takes care of set up but there are a few options in the menus that might need to be tweaked but they aren’t buried or cloaked in jargon so should be easy to find. Only criticism is the layout of the EPG, you cannot at a glance see what is on now/next. Neighbour has no complaints about picture quality.
Overall fantastic value for money.
Not a smart TV
I bought it for spare bedroom.Its easy to set up and works grea
The TV is good value for money however the screen becomes a bit less sharp when moving to the side
Ordered to upgrade my dad’s old 32″ Sony. At the price point it was worth a try, even though some reviews were negative.
I was suitably impressed with this TV enough for me to order one to replace the one I have, as this comes with a DVB T2 tuner (mine is a DVB T) which means that it has Freeview HD channels.
Fingers crossed mine will be just as good.
Update: mine was delivered super fast and even on Bank Holiday Monday.
I have managed to watch some football on the HD ITV channel, and the 60hz kept up with it well. Great HD picture and sound is decent.
I have also connected an old Wii using the provided cables in the box. It works.
There is a scart connect, which I have attached my old VCR to. It works.
I have used the usb to power my Now TV stick. It works.
I have used a USB stick to record live TV. It works. However, there are absolutely zero instructions for using this function so it is very much up to the user to work out. The usual recording via EPG is there, which means that on a TV / Freeview box with a single DVB tuner, if you are watching something at the time it will switch to the programme you have set to record when the time comes.
I have zero idea how to delete anything from the usb using the TV either: probably have to take it out and connect it to a computer and do it that way…
As with the first TV, when the box came it was so light I wondered if there was even a TV inside. The TV is so lightweight that I would have 100% confidence putting on a bracket on any of the walls in my house. Even a plaster board partition.
At this price point I am very happy with the TV. Time will tell of long lasting quality.
(Btw, I haven’t tried the 3.5mm out yet, nor the optical out. Nor do I have ‘cable TV’ or a satellite dish, which this also has connections for…)
In case anyone is wondering after all of the above, I have docked a star for a few reasons:
1, is that it ‘only’ has 2 X HDMI when my preference would be for 3.
2, there is only 1 USB socket, so there has to be a choice between making it a smart TV with Now/Firestick/Roku etc (for USB to power) or as a stick Freeview recorder.
3, the remote has to be pointed almost exactly in a straight line to the sensor on the TV for it to register. It is supper fast when it does, and is something that I will get used to, but it is still worth mentioning.
The last time I bought a TV was 10 years ago so I am comparing it with a something that is over 10 years old. My old TV only came with the BBC iPlayer and a couple of others that required subscription whereas the RCA is fully up to date with all the catchup apps. The tuner also turns out to be quite sensitive – I live 37km from the transmitter that is also behind several walls (I live in a mid terrace) and yet it is able to pick up all the channels with an indoor aerial. However,
1) there doesn’t appear to be a way to search the EPG. On my old TV, I could search by name or category (e.g. Star Trek or film) and see what (live) programmes are coming up. The only search that appears to be available is for on-demand content;
2) the IPTV “data” channels such as Vision TV don’t work. Considering that they work flawlessly on my 10-year old TV this is rather disappointing. Hopefully it will be addressed in a future software update;
3) there is an option to add “wireless audio devices” to the TV, devices such as speakers and soundbar with the graphic also showing headphones. I have not been able to get it to detect my bluetooth headphones;
4) the remote is essential the same remote used in a Roku streamer slightly modified for a TV. As such it is missing some common buttons like one to turn subtitles on and off with a single touch.
For the price this is not a bad TV although it can be a lot better.
Update:
I have now had the TV for nearly 2 weeks. The Roku App turns out to be quite useful and mitigates some of the shortcomings of the remote control. Using the app’s voice input, the many clicks that were previously needed to turn on subtitles can now be achieved by simply saying “turn on subtitles”. To open a “channel” (an app in Roku speak), you can say something like “launch ITVX” to launch the new ITV app.
Live TV may be paused if you connect a flash drive to one of the USB ports. However, beware that a current bug causes the pause buffer to be wiped if you turn off the display, so if you get a phone call in the middle of a programme, you can pause for up to 90 minutes but do not be tempted to turn off the TV screen to save electricity.
I tried to ask the seller about the failure to play the Freeview data channels through the Amazon website but did not get any response. There is no information in the supplied manual on where you can get technical support. Neither the Roku nor the RCA website list this model. I fear that once the Amazon return window passes, getting support may be tricky.
Update 2: April 2023
A couple of days ago the TV updated to Roku OS 12.0.0, build 4171. The update broke all of the Freeview catch up apps. Any attempt to launch any one of the Freeview apps from the home screen results in an error message saying “Channel Unavailable”. The only way these apps can be accessed now is via the EPG. With the EPG up, press “*” and select an app to start from there. The update is also causing the “private listening” audio to break up. Usually this can be fixed by toggling the headphones on/off button on the Roku mobile app. All in all, this is a poor update and it is not recommended.
Update 3: April 2023
The problem with the Freeview catch up apps has been fixed. Unfortunately, most of the Freeview data channels still do not work (see attached photo) despite the OS update.
I got my tv when it was on offer and it came packaged well no damage.picture quality is really good.my son helped with setting the remote which did not take long,sound is good and has good powers savington modes.i have a average size room and the size and sound are really good.this tv does alot and for what I paid iam really happy with it.
Bought this tv because it’s android.
Can’t fault it at all.
Recommend to buy
Bought for a friend, they are very happy with i
It is good television, but the speaker is not that great, so I bought a Bluetooth speaker to support it.
Amazing value for money! Product description is spot on. I highly recommend these televisions, I have 2 of them.
I had never heard of RCA until I saw it on amazon and the price was amazing for a 50inch smart android TV with WiFi. Picture is good sound is good enough connecting points for HDMI, USB ETC. An all around great tv
TV
Easy to set up. The picture quality is very good but the sound quality could be better. Having said that, it’s good value for money
The picture quality is good but the sound of the speakers are very very poor.
A great TV for the price, picture and sound quality is good and there’s pleanty of viewing choices with free apps such as BBC I player, itv hub UK TV etc as well as subscription channels plus many more apps on Google, only drawback is the stand with a distance of 112 cm between the feet a large unit is needed as a suppo
