Disappointed it doesn’t have Bluetooth my own fault should have looked at the specs just assumed all modern TVs had Bluetooth. Decent budget TV there’s a problem with subtitles randomly pop up after pausing
Sound could be better. Please note…only compatible with Roku sound bar accessories.
Difficult to set up. Had to Google fitting the stand as very hard and was afraid of splitting the fixings. Got there in the end but took some time.
The picture on this TV is really impressive but the sound is quite tinny. You definitely get what you pay for. My son is really happy with the TV; I think we may get some external speakers to improve the sound quality but for this price, the TV was a real bargain.
Was easy to install with my DVD, FreeSat and speakers, and timed to watch the rugby world cup. No smart frills, which kept the price to a reasonable level. Excellent picture quality.
Arrived fast unpacked and a great purchase
The back is a bit fat so not as snug against the wall as I hoped but I can live with that as good picture and features / apps available
This product is truly a game-changer! I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I’m already seeing amazing results. It’s very easy to use and has a pleasant scent. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality product that delivers real results.
Great TV for the money. Only slight downside is the sound quality could be better. Maybe invest in a small sound bar as well. That said, it’s still a really great TV.
There’s a slight lag on the remote but other than that, I think it a bit of a bargain!
The sound through the speakers is a bit dodgy, but I use headphones via a Bluetooth adapter, and it works well enough.
I only use the tv for watching a Fire Stick whilst on an exercise bike, so the picture quality doesn’t bother me too much.
I will start with what has been noticed when reading other reviews that are deemed as disadvantages;
It does not support HDMI – however my graphics card can display a good enough image for me and I’m really not bothered about it [it’s not really that great IMO]
It is a bit of a delayed response when using the remote – but the picture setup is pretty much the only extensive thing to do. [powering the tv on and off is the only use of the remote I have for it].
People have mentioned about the quality of the sound and again I don’t really care as I’m a muso with decent audio kit.
I had a hand me down LG 50 inch years ago from my brother which gave up the ghost a couple of months ago and the size was a bit imposing for the size of my room.
However…however the same thing has applied here. When sat 2-3 feet from it, I can use windows/linux fine for admin/development work/music production.
Further back to sitting/lying on bed, watching films/TV is absolute fine.
5 stars for now as it’s brand new and working, I will update in a month or so but I am happy with my purchase!
My step dad rang us ,he lives 60 miles a way age 88 and tv broken ,quickest way to get a replacement to him was here , he’s not technical so wanted basic tv not a smart one , 109.00 wow absolutely amazing,the reviews made us get it ,as he’s living on his own wanted him to have ASAP which with prime we did , neighbour set it up for him ,he’s absolutely delighted,,so would recommend this for a basic tv with a great picture and sound and british make .
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.
This is for the 32 inch android model.
I was a little concerned at some reviews here.
The TV we got is a proper UK model with Freeview play and BBC iPlayer, itvX , ch4 , 5 player etc preloaded
Easy to set up using your phone
Streams very well
Decent picture , sound is acceptable but typically lacking in bass as with all modern slim TV’s
The interface is excellent but not the fastest.
All in all good value for a fully featured smart TV
As an advantage being android it will play usb files using VLC playe
For the price this is a really good little smart TV. Very easy to set up and very easy to navigate. I live in my caravan so perfect if I don’t have mains hook up. Only complaint which I had read about in the reviews is the sound, it IS very poor however I have it connected via Bluetooth to my Bose Soundlink and if is a perfect solution.
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.
Nice 32″ TV. All the apps you could ever need including NowTV. Easy to set up. Looks good in the Bedroom.
As with all TVs these days sound is very average but nothing a good cheap sound bar won’t fix.
Overall happy with the TV just would have preferred the seller was clear about the whole thing.
Everything works great. Easy set up. Was fine the first day. Second day, there was a ant crawling around in the actual screen. Don’t know how as its in the bedroom and I don’t have a ant problem. So yeah. Great but..
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.
Always read the reviews and believe them before choosing a product. I just wanted a cheap TV to use for 40 minutes every morning so I didn’t really care too much about the sound.
Now, I have to say, the thing that lets this TV down the most, is the sound. It is horrendous. Imagine you put your TV in a tin can and seal it off…yeah that’s what the sound is like. This of course is not going to be a issue for you if you plan on using headphones or an external speaker.
Other than these issues, I simply cannot fault this TV for the price.
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.
