From the brand
Does not support many apps like BBC I player ,itv etc but can be easily managed using a firestick
Also ,people mentioned about missing Bluetooth capabilities for headphones
That can be added by going in settings and devices
Bought this TV for something in a spare room, its great TV so far, the picture is good as very easy to set up. the only issue I have is not all streaming servcies are support such as BBC Iplayer and 4OD. Would be 5 stars if you could have them all on the TV.
Picture quality is fine, and although not 1080p, 720p is fine for the bedroom, and combined with the HDR makes for quite a nice sharp viewing experience. It also seems to upscale very well too, so lower resolution 576i signals/inputs actually look better than some other TV’s in the house.
On to the sound, its not great. Very tinny, its all high, little to no mids or bass. But it is acceptable, well its better than acceptable and lets face it, this TV isn’t going to be the centre piece of a home AV system.
The Android TV operating system on this TV is fantastic. It works really well. I thought this is what was going to let the set down, but it works just as well as my much more expensive main living room Android tv. No problems at all running Kodi, and no problems with ANY streaming apps like Netflix, or Amazon Prime.
The play store for Android TV doesn’t contain all the apps that are available for your phone or tablet, but that is down to google, nothing to do with the set, and if you want apps not on the play store, I use puffin tv browser (which can be got from the play store) then just down load them from the web, or maybe use Aptoide.
I have used the set with a wireless keyboard and it worked fine, I have also used a usb memory stick and it recognised it straight away. The wireless connection is the same as any other, with automatic or manual, easy to set up and has stayed connected, no problems with wireless reception.
My only real gripe is that it could have had another usb port. With no bluetooth a dongle will be needed to support any bluetooth/wireless accesseries like the aforementioned wireless keyboard, and also for storage. If you are going to use the TV with a PVR function you will need more storage, and usb seems to be the only way to provide it on this set.
The set physically is very light, and also very slim, it seems well put together, nothing feels loose and is quite pleasing to look at.
Would I buy another, Yes, absolutely.
