Had a cello that got knocked off and with a cracked screen was useless. Was looking at another cello and this popped up. Seems a much better quality of picture and sound not too bad. What rate this better than Cello although could have another usb slot and further apart for a fire stick (need the extension adapter for them both to fit)
This was a good price and ideal for our caravan. Be aware that the sound quality is truly awful but can
be sorted by connecting to external speakers.Problem sorted.
I bought this as a replacement TV for the mother in law. Good picture good sound OK for what she wanted but if you have lots of feeds you need to attach to your TV, you will run out of ports quickly.
TV has been great, no issues with the function of the TV. My only concern is that this TV was definitely REFURBISHED but the listing did not indicate it was refurbished. I suspect it was refurbished because De’Andre apparently left himself logged into the Netflix account!
Overall happy with the TV just would have preferred the seller was clear about the whole thing.
I bought this TV to replace a perfectly good one which was a disaster for wall mounting (Samsung). The fixing for wall mounting were perfect on this TV. However, if you apply too much pressure when bolting on the TV mount the fixings fall through into the back panel.
Anyway, I had to remove the back panel to retrieve the mounting fixings, then redid the fixings without pressure and in the end was all good. Just a lot of faff.
The screen came cracked, I contacted Amazon, they gave a code to go to the post office to send it back.
A few days later I was payed the whole refund
The tv is compact and ideal for the bedroom or kitchen. I have fitted mine on the bedroom wall, on previous bracket. It was easy to tune and is a good picture. The sound is a bit tinny but it’s ok for the bedroom. For the money it’s ideal.
I like that it was easy to set up and great value for money. The only thing I would change are the legs there are two far apart and it doesn’t fit on my tv stand so need a new tv stand
Arrived safely 2 days early.
Picture quality is clear and sharp, but sound is a bit tinny.
Worth the money as a standard 40 inch tv.
Curiously, upon measuring, the visible screen size is 39 inches, not the advertised 40 inches.
But still happy enough with the product.
I would recommend this product.
Brought this as a cheap alternative to put in the bedroom. It seems to do the job, it is not a smart tv but managed to connect Amazon fire stick which works perfectly. Tv is a bargain for the price, only downfall is that the image quality isn’t as good as a bush tv or Samsung but for the price can’t complain. Definitely worth it if you’re on a budget and want to put in the kids room or spare room.
This TV makes me happy everyday I walk into my seating room because it has all I needed to relax. I always refers the tv to super hub. I have referred more than 4 friends to buy this same tv which they keep thanking me. I can’t wait for the 50inches to be available for sale I gladly buy it and make adjustments. Good job guy. Nice wonderful and good Product keep it up.
I don’t have hd eyesite or perfect pitch hearing so didn’t need a state of the art TV and so far so good.
Only issue so far is I only use TV via HDMI and every four hours it pop up a warning to switch off TV due to inactivity. I can’t find out how to disable this.
Update, its in the menu – you need to disable auto power saver mode
I bought this to replace a Cello TV that never worked properly. This RCA TV is so easy to set up out of the box. I had it up and running, with all of the streaming services, within twenty minutes. It’s quick to respond, with great picture and sound quality. I’m really impressed by it and would definitely recommend it. It’s very light and simple to wall mount too.
Brilliant TV for the price. Even comes complete with its own channel – Roku TV. Very easy to set up and perfect for my kitchen, though would be equally ideal for any room in the house. Excellent value for money and Highly recommended.
Great TV, cheap and lightweight, purchased for my campervan. Lots of features not a smart tv but can easily attach a fire stick, good picture quality, sound a little tinny but doesn’t really make a great difference in my van as the volume is never high, could attach a soundbar or speaker if desired, remote a little plastic feeling but works ok. Picked up lots of channels on the first scan but that was in the city with good reception. Very pleased so far.
Easy to setup, excellent quality picture. One big problem is that the volume doesn’t control when a sound bar is connected, so end up with 2 remotes!
Love the tv, light & easy to work with. Good, clear picture. I’ve had a Roku stick for several years & like the options , happy to have it integrated in the tv. Good size remote control, buttons well spaced. Had to make 4 star rather than 5. My requirement was for Bluetooth on tv, which it has, but after many attempts to link headphones discovered headphones not supported after searching online for solution. Only way is to watch tv via app on phone, which is not practical in my case. Otherwise great tv.
I am loving the TV it’s great only 1 tiny problem witch happen from time to time is it was missing the feet stand I have no clue how to get InTouch with the seller so hopefully someone can help me
TV arrived on time, setup easy, I’ve got Sky Q & it worked immediately, very pleased. Sound is great on satellite channels but I have to turn it up very high on BBC, ITV & Channel 4 & it’s a different sound quality but that could be the channels, even though I’m watching through Sky box. Would still recommend!
Good screen resolution and color
Does exactly what is says on the tin. Was the cheapest I could get around for that screen size
Really happy with this TV. I took a punt and wondered if was cheap for a reason but the quality is pretty good. I don’t think its ever going to rival high end units but for me its an excellent replacement for the old one I had before. I’m using it in my workshop/man cave linked to a soundbar so can’t comment too much on the speaker quality.
I already had a Roku box and am a big fan after switching over from a slow and buggy fire stick. The integration into the television seems to be just as quick and functional as a standalone stick.
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.
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.
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.
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 😉
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.
Thank you for delivering my item its great for the bedroom perfect size
It look me a while to get the feet on but that was my own idiocy, other than that it works great. Perfect TV for my bedroom
All the apps you need, netflix, prime, Disney plus also lots of things to watch on the TvS own app. Excellent TV especially for the price. Perfect for bedroom
Given the low price, I was half-expecting something a bit, well, rubbish. But it’s actually a great TV. It’s slim and looks really slick. It stands very sturdily on the feet. It’s really easy to set up and use. I’m very chuffed with it.
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.
Great TV at a reasonable price.
Smart looking, relatively light for its size, and each to fit feet (although it can be wall mounted). Picture is really sharp and there are plenty of settings for different preferences. Easy to attach to aerial or internet connection (using its own internal WiFi remote device).
Setting up is a bit tricky, particularly if you want Prime Video and you already use an account using a Prime Stick), but terrestrial channels are many and varied, YouTube, and Netflix are easily setup.
he picture, remote and set up procedure are all good and similar to many products costing 3x as much – but the internal speakers are hopelessly thin and tinny.
Fortunately I had a spare set of speakers designed for a PC and plugged these into the USB and earphone socket. These produce a wonderful full sound that make this a great TV for our bedroom, so, an extra 18 worth of speakers and it is fine.
Very easy to set up and lovely picture. Connects via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth easily enough and will work off a mobile phone hotspot. All app’s available for all streaming services except of course sky go but that isn’t on any tv except sky glass.
Unfortunately sound is tinny but can’t complain for the price.
Edit:
Tv today will not play a video via airplay and the audio by Bluetooth speaker no matter how hard I try.
Just what I needed for the home gym and at a great price. I can Airplay workouts from my phone straight to the screen. I can also have the audio broadcast from the TV to my portable bluetooth speaker (you need to install the roku app on your phone and select headphone mode for this).
Great smart TV for my little girls bed room she loves it. The sound quality is fab I know this as every thing is on loud. The picture is brilliant and a perfect for her room. Great purchase great price worth the investme
You need to spend a lot of time moving the channels into a recognised Freeview order needing lots of patience, then if you reset the TV you have to do it again. Trying to get customer support is impossible seeings that RCA do not even recognise the model number, I gave up after several hours trying.
The TV is full of great features and the picture and sound quality are good, I have not figured out Chromecast yet, but HDMI hard wire is my solution to that. For the price, this TV is good value for money.
I have had to reset the TV three times to get Google assistant to work.
Easy to set up. Clear picture and good sound. Perfect for bedroom. Would recommend.
Can’t comment about gaming uses as its not something we need.
Easy to set up apart from having to enter your email for a lot of the APPS. Sadly it is an android (GOOGLE) TV and isnt happy running on an iPhone or Alexa – that said the picture quality and sound are first class and was so easy to set up. Well please with it especially for the price and prompt delivery.
Bought as a gift, was well received, easy to set up, perfect size for a bedroom, very competitive price, fast delivery
Great value, cheap 32″ TV, just over 100. Not SMART but connect to your Chrome Cast or other device for online steaming.
Cheaper than 24″ monitors which have no sound built in, so can’t fault the value for money.
Everything was as expected from the Description. Some of the earlier reviews gave me the impression YouTube might not work; but YouTube and the other key apps were all there. The TV is a normal TV with a built-in Roku for streaming. The setup is very easy and quick. There is no dedicated YouTube button, but it is just as easy to use the on screen menu. It’s very light and easy to move. Sound is very clear. Unless I am missing something this is a very good product, ideal for a smaller room. Although when I was young, a 21″ set was thought to be too big!
Does what I wanted, easy to connect to Netflix ect. Has Bluetooth and built in Chromecast. Display is really nice and has lots of different ports. Overall very happy. Will say feet were not the easiest had a problem because the screws were slightly too big so I had to swap them for smaller ones. Took longer to sort the feet out then to set the tv up. Also the Chromecast is really poor, honestly better just getting a HDMI cable for whichever device you plan to connect to. And lastly you need to play with the sound settings a little bit but once I switched the settings to surround sound it was all good. Hope this is helpful to anyone looking to buy 🙂
In the advert it said it had Freesat and Freeview, it doesn’t have Freesat (one of the main reasons for my purchase). That being said everything else about the tv is excellent and given the low price I’m quite pleased.
Very good picture quality, sound seems a little bit “underwater” at the beginning, but it is easily fixable through the sound settings. I use it with google assistant on my phone, giving it vocal commands. It answers quickly. The only thing I noticed that is a bit annoying is the connection with bluetooth speakers/headphones: it lags a bit, as the connection was not continuos or clean. Other than that, I’m very satisfied with the purchase.
I had a list of requirements while looking for an additional TV for my home office, a ‘Smart’ TV, full HD (1080) not HD Ready (720), 3 HDMI inputs, a headphone socket for my speaker system and Bluetooth to be able to use a keyboard and headphones.
I’d found a Phillips for 170 that fitted the bill and then, on Amazon Early Prime Day, I found this RCA with the same list of features for 130. There were a few negatives in the user comments about this RCA TV so I added 3 years full insurance to the basket for 20 and I still saved 20 over the price of the Phillips TV.
I was surprised how lightweight this TV is, my concern was it would be easy to knock it over but, once the feet were fitted, it seemed quite stable.
Setting up was easy, I’m a retired cameraman and video editor so I think I know what a good picture should look like, I was impressed with the overall quality and colour of the picture, for me a few minor colour ‘tweaks’ were needed once I’d sussed out the menu system! The audio does benefit from adding additional speakers though.
In Smart TV mode this has all the ‘normal’ features you’d expect, HD channels, FreeView Play, radio channels and internet channels along with Google and it’s associated features like Chromecast, you can spend hours seeing what’s available and finding stuff to watch!
This is an Android (Google) device, for the security conscious, you can opt out of all the login and permission requests and still have a working TV, however some options won’t be available to you.
I use this TV with a Sky Q box and I have the BBC News on all day, the HD quality is excellent but, at 32 inches this TV does not show old archive footage, some American footage or poor quality footage very well compared to my old 24′ TV.
One minor problem I encountered was finding the remote code for the Sky Q remote to control some functions, after searching and trying all the known codes, I found a site suggesting some different codes for an RCA TV and 4246 worked for me. Overall, I’m well pleased with this TV.
This is a very cheap TV for its size.
The upsides are obviously the price firstly.
It’s remote is pretty good
The menu is well laid out
It has plenty of device connectivity.
Good but not amazing!
Picture quality is pretty good though it looks over bright or washed out in some situations.
The built in usb reader is OK but playback looks a little fuzzy in places. Video playback is definitely a little better through games console.
With some careful set up on personal the picture is very acceptable for the price. This TV is purely for use with a console and its actually not too bad.
Sound, the sound is shocking! It vibrates with any kind of bass or volume applied. You definitely need to attach this thing to some other sound source!
This may be due to poor construction or extremely poor speakers. If you are using this as a stand alone tv, don’t bother buy a better brand with half decent speakers.
As the console sends sound to the headphones this isn’t an issue, if you are using headphones again it’s probably OK.
Connected to some sound bar or amp and speakers it should be fine.
On this occasion what youvget is what you paid for but that’s not to say a more expensive budget brand item would be much better.
Is it value for money? That is subjective but overall I’d say yes in this instance.
