I bought this tv for use in a bedroom. Initially there were problems with low signal but now that is resolved I am very pleased with it. Good picture and sound quality.
TV for bedroom – just the right size. Easy to set up. Lovely picture
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.
This is a really good TV for such a low price. (I’ve only used it for streaming however) Simple to set up. Picture and sound quality perfectly good
Overall happy with the TV just would have preferred the seller was clear about the whole thing.
I’m happy with this TV, my baby is so happy to get this. But not too fast. It is ok for regular use.
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.
This TV was very easy to set up. Perfect size for bedroom picture and features are grea
TV works great for what we need it for (mainly Xbox) but the iPlayer app that was installed does not work, even with updates of the software and apps.
I am pleased with the t.v , it arrived well packaged , easy to set up
Honestly it’s the best tv easily available on the market with its nice size to outstanding features. this tv has more than what you pay for, out of the box it preformed like magic everything from the remote to the setting UI is very intuitive and easy to work with.
Does what it says on the bottle, easy to setup.
Clear display and sound. Found the picture looked best on Dynamic mode and the sound better on Movie mode. Easy to use and happy with it.
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.
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 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
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.
So in short, it’s not perfect but at 150 it’s difficult to complain.
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.
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 😉
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.
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.
