   I am not a big TV watcher, but I wanted to watch Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube on something other than my computer. This is perfect. It was super easy to set up. The longest part about setting up was just entering my username and passwords for each of my subscription services. It has been super easy to use, the volume level is great. Sometimes the subtitles can be a little confusing to figure out how to navigate, for instance I wanted to watch an Amazon movie with subtitles and I had to set it to closed captioning to read anything, and that was a little confusing, but not impossible. Basically, I am very happy with this.
   Yes, it’s true as others have said, that the legs can be wobbly, but you have to screw them in completely and then it’s quite stable. But it’s hard to get the screws all the way in – hard but not impossible, and worth it once it’s stable!

   Wide Beautiful Lightweight Flat Screen with nice Clear picture. Good Volume and works perfectly with NO CABLE, just my mobile hot spot from my new android. It Arrived fast, in new condition and in a protective box.
   Setting up Netflix was fast but my Amazon prime was a real process but dont give up, chat with techs and they will help you, even lots of video assistance online.
   My wireless speakers are apparently not compatible, bummer.
   This is a good tv and great value.
   Do your research…I did and got exactly what they described.
   One unexpected snag was that the 4 screws provided do not fit this TV for mounting however,,, wall mount sold separately provides a wide selection of sizes.
   Be careful when purchasing separately sold wall mounts…unfortunately the wall mount we bought had to be attached sideways to accommodate our tv. Another wall mount may provide both horizontal and vertical options? Definitely a tiny warning.
   And dont forget
   You can turtle search on your remote but remember there is no browser on this Roku tv.

   I didn’t know exactly what a “Roku TV” was, and I had never heard of the Hisense brand. It was very inexpensive – around $240 – so I went for it. We are delighted! It works beautifully with our cable box and our DVD player, and it works as a Roku on its own, so you don’t need an add-on. We can still use the cable remote to control it, too, which is amazing. Picture quality is great, sound is great.

   So I’ve read a lot of reviews about the TV not working with Alexa and people having to pay for it. I thought I’d maybe help clear up the confusion as your friendly neighborhood IT person after I leave my review. **I have absolutely no affiliation with Roku.**

   Review: Easy set up of the TV. Moderate difficulty set up for Alexa if you are not familiar with Alexa skills. Very fast menu. Easiest set up I’ve done to reconnect my netflix, hulu, etc. I do not subscribe to Roku services what so ever. Absolutely seemless transition from our old TV that our toddler decided he did not like. Additionally, the picture and sound quality are excellent. The homescreen is entirely customizeable which is fantastic! There are themes available also, but I believe those are for purchase. I haven’t attempted those yet though. Overall, worth the price by far. Will likely by another. The vendor shipped very quickly. Highly impressed. Our postal carriers are the real MVPs.

   Roku does not require a subscription. The browser set up is far more straight forward with opting out than signing up on the tv you have purchased. I highly recommend you sign up via browser before beginning set up of the TV.

   ALEXA SET UP
   Again, this TV does not have alexa built in. You will need an echo, echo dot, etc for it. They are like $15-30 max.
   1. Once you have your echo set up on your phone click on the “home tab” then select “Browse skills”
   2. Click the magnifying class search button at the top and search for “roku”; select the app with the bubble that has “Roku” in purple text
   3. Click Enable to Use. A browser tab will open. Click “Accept and Continue”
   4. You’ll need to sign into your Roku account if it doesn’t automatically sign you in.
   5. It will find the TV you set up. Click “Link to Alexa App”
   6. It will ask you to autolink new Roku Devices. Select your preference.
   7. Click “continue to alexa app”
   8. It will say “your roku accont has been successfully linked”. Click close.
   9. It will search for your TV and can take a few minutes. After that you are all set to begin using voice commands.
   10. On your TV sign in with your account info you just set up, it will give you a pin. Go back to your browser
   11. Enter the pin that was on the TV.
   12. Continue on through your preferences. You do not have to subscribe to channels or enter into a subscription. it will ask you to set up a payment, but you will not be charged anything at anytime unless you opt in.

   May the odds be ever in your favor. xx

   The best way to describe this tv is everything works well and yet it’s very affordable. Setup was a breeze, it had no trouble connecting to wifi and setting up a Roku account (no $100 tv activation fee has some people have claimed). Configured local channels via an antenna, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and some sports video apps, everything worked fine.

   I don’t have another tv in this price range to compare video quality. Obviously, it’s not as nice as my much more expensive living room tv, but it’s a perfectly viewable picture. It doesn’t like low quality video, for instance watching an old movie had more pixelization and blockiness than usual, but all modern content has looked good.

   Our only complaint? No number buttons on the remote. My wife hates having to open the guide and scroll to a tv channel instead of just punching in the number she wants. Yes, she could install the app on her phone, but I don’t think that be any faster by the time she grabbed her phone, logged in, launched the app, etc.
