Issues are erratic – Purchased October 2021 and worked fine for the first 6 months. Since then the remote does not always turn the tv on - have to switch the tv off from the wall to reset this. The reaction time is very sluggish and now the picture is comprimised due to screen not working properly. Show details

Unpredictable remote – I purchased TV with great picture and sound but it has the most erratic remote,, selecting a channel change can be ever so easy or it can be a laborious task, the off button works most of the but has a tendency to go to Netflix or some other extraneous screen , the ON NOW program is never ON NOW. there are several other idiosyncrasies I've got… Read more

A great value TV with very good picture quality for the price – I purchased this TV to put out on the back patio. Purchased during the Click Frenzy event in November 2021, I felt I got the TV for a bargain at $682. The picture quality is excellent, especially compared to my 65" Android TV in the lounge room. It is a QLED TV, with HDR, so the blacks are blacker and there is a real depth to the image quality.… Read more

As with most Android TVs, the operating system is a little sluggish at times, but not unbearably so. The remote control is a little plasticky, but for the price, you can't expect more. One thing to note is that the built-in Bluetooth will not pair to an external speaker, it is purely for pairing with the TV remote control for voice commands. My other Android TV can pair with a speaker. So I could use my Bluetooth speaker, I purchased a $20 Bluetooth dongle and it works a treat. I'm happy with my purchase and feel it was of great value.
