Good TV but lacks connection options
340214
Overall it's a good tv, good picture and sound.  It is smaller (bezel) and lighter than our three year old Toshiba  of the same size.  There is only one of the old style rca 3 wire connections so this turned out to be a problem for us in the FR where the kid plays Wii and the cable box both need that type connection.  Instead of buying new cables or an adapter we put it in another spot.  It's about 2 months new, so no reliability issues to report.  Oh, and it is assembled in Mexico, I probably wouldn't have bought it had I known that.  I love the food, but question a lot about the country...

This television has a very good picture and enough inputs to allow me to do what I want to be able to do with it. Its main drawback is it has very poor audio quality as I expected. There simply is not enough room in the chassis of the TV to hold decent speakers. But for the price it was worth it.

The picture is great sound is alright the smart function and menus lag, updates require a relogin to services (inconvenient) I think that the lessons learned would be buy a tv for picture/sound and then buy a smart device to use with (ie Apple TV, Amazon fire etc)

This is a pretty nice TV.  I't's thin, the picture quality is good, although I haven't been able to try it in 4K mode for lack of anything to hook up to it to drive that, so the best I've seen is 1080p.  There is one thing that I'll ding it for a little bit, which is that it has no digital tuner, which means that if you want to use it with digital channels, you need a converter box.  For a TV that supports 4K not to come with a digital tuner seems very strange to me.

Don't update the software, don't connect to the internet and this is a good TV so far...but also, don't expect a user manual that explains how things work because it does not seem to exist. I spent hours on the phone with "Help" and no one could tell me where there was a manual and no one seemed to know how the "settings" functions worked. Other sony's have a "i-manual" button on the remote which seems to be what you need, however it cannot be found nor can support find it...lol...

Picture quality good so far, sound good so far...support....2 on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being high.

I got this TV for just over $500.  It has a great picture and because it is LED, it draws much less power and gives off much less heat than my old fluorescent lit 34" TV did.

The reason for the 4 stars is when switching between HDMI inputs (it has three) sometimes I have to cycle the TV off and back on again or I get nothing but static.  This only occurs on HDMI-1 which is connected to my PC.

Another reason for the four stars is the audio, it just doesn't get loud enough and if you have any kind of ambient noise around the TV, the volume needs to be turned up all the way.  Also as far as I can figure out, there is no way to attach an external speaker system that works with the TVs volume control.  I purchased a computer-style sound system hoping I could control the sound systems volume using the TVs remote but nope!  So if anyone knows how to set this TV to control the volume of a speaker system that is plugged in to the Audio Out plug, let me know.

I am no expert on HDTV but am satisfied with this TV for the money I paid for it. The picture is good and it has ample connections as far as I am concerned. It is a good looking TV to look at and has enough options and adjustments to meet all my wants.

The major problem I have with it is if you are going to use an OTA antenna as I do it will not allow you to store stations manually or previously auto programed stations you have ran so every time you change directons on your antenna to pick up a station in a different direction you will need to go through auto program again. And unless the station is in the last auto program you can not manually select a channel by inputting the channel manually. Example, I auto program and pick up channels 6.1, 6.2, 7.1, 7.2 exc. I then change antenna direction to pick up channel 15.1, I can not manually put in 15.1 for the channel and pick it up but have to go through auto program again to get that station and then all my previously stored stations are wiped out and have to go through the same thing again when wanting to pick up channel 6.1, 6.2 exc. So if you are going to use an OTA antenna as your channel receiver I would most likely choose another TV if it is not too much of price difference that you can live with. I can live with this problem because I don't want to go through the hassle of returning it and looking into another one. If you are on cable or satellite you should have no complaints. I wish some one would have written about this issue before I bought it so I would have choosen another TV. I did contact customer support at Panasonic and they confirmed that the problem I have with this TV is the way it is made so there is no fix. Hope this helps future buyers!

I choose this rating because,it connect to other tv's but,connecting to other computers is limited connections.other than that it works as advertised.

Good picture, decent sound for built-in speakers, but:
Buyer beware!!  This "smart" TV does not have program settings for Amazon Prime or Hulu Plus streaming video!!  If you want to watch programs over these very popular services, you will have to add on a Roku, PS3, XBox, or other streaming device at additional cost, so now the price for the TV isn't so great.  Sharp should be more up-front about this limitation.

Tv is great picture quality is awsome. My only problem with this tv is that it doesn't have Web Os, it's a 2014 model and it doesn't have the best OS that LG has to offer???? Why ??? I was expecting it.but overall it was a good buy.

I do like the TV and it's picture as long as I'm strictly watching TV and not trying to stream.
The first issue I had was that I couldn't get it to consistently recognize my Wi-Fi. And when it did see it, it would not connect when I entered in my pass phrase. I turns out that the TVdoes not have a powerful enough Wi-Fi card to work from more than 30 ft away and especially through garage walls. I resolved that problem by using a Powerline Network starter kit that I bought a long time ago but never used. I plugged them in and much to my surprise the TV had a network connection.

Now the reason for only three stars: I'm an Amazon Prime member and enjoy streaming from Amazon Instant video. After plenty of research (so I thought) I decided on this TV for reasons other than just price. On of the things that caught my attention was the "AMAZON" button on the remote. How convinient, I won't even need to drill through any menus to start steaming.

Turns out, some Visio 2014 models (this being one) are not even able to use the Amazon app. They say that they're working on the app but it the update may not be out until the end of the year.
Would have been nice to know.

I will post five stars, but only if I get the update soon.

This is a nice tv at a good price. It's not a smart tv, but a good basic tv that you can expand with Roku or Amazon TV. The sound comes out of the bottom, I prefer a more rich sound and hoped to hook it up to audio. Unfortunately, it comes with a SPDIF audio output, instead of regular RCA audio cables. I had to get a $15 digital cable at Best Buy, but now it plays through my sound system great!

This is a nice little TV that can also be used as a desktop monitor. Keep in mind that there isn't a built-in computer for running apps such as Netflix or Amazon Prime. What you get is a TV capable of receiving a signal from an antenna for local television stations (and Cable providers). However, you can plug in external devices such as a Roku or Blu-ray Disc Player that has its own built-in app manager. You can also plug in a USB memory drive (or external HD) with music, video and picture files on it. The Samsung T24D310NH will attempt to play/view those files, but with limitations. Here's what files are supported:

Video Files: .avi, .mkv, .asf, .wmv, .mp4, .3gp, .vro, .mpg, .mpeg, .ts, .tp, .trp, .mov, .flv, .vob, .svi, .divx. (Note: H.263 decoder is not supported, but H.264 (Level 4.1) is.)
Supported Subtitle Formats: MPEG-4 timed text (.ttxt), SAMI (.smi), SubRip (.srt), SubViewer (.sub), Micro DVD (.sub or .txt), SubStation Alpha (.ssa), Advanced SubStation Alpha (.ass).

Music Files: Only displays files with MP3 file extensions. Other file extensions are not displayed, even if they are saved on the same USB device. (So no WAV, FLAC, WMA, or ALAC.)

Photo Files: Only supports sequential jpeg format. (So no raw files, png, tiff or bitmap.)

When I plugged this in as a desktop monitor, I noticed some limitations with the stand. It doesn't sit very high off the desk nor does it have the ability to swivel or raise, so you might want to consider using a separate monitor stand to get it positioned how you like. Thankfully, the standard four screw mounting holes are on the back (75 x 75mm (3")), so you can use something like the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Mount-It-Articulating-Single-Arm-Computer-Monitor-Desk-Mount-for-27-Inch-Monitors-MI-751/dp/B0052ATODM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Mount-It! Articulating Single Arm Computer Monitor Desk Mount for 27-Inch Monitors (MI-751)</a>. Also, unless you have a video card with an HDMI output, you need to purchase an adapter that converts DVI to HDMI (such as the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/IOGEAR-DVI-Male-to-HD-Female-Adapter-GHDFDVIMW6-Black/dp/B004XT6HKQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">IOGEAR DVI Male to HD Female Adapter GHDFDVIMW6 (Black)</a>). If your computer only has a VGA port, you'll want to look for a different solution.

Keep in mind that this doesn't support full HD. It has a maximum resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. That's 788 not 1080. However, that is technically considered HD since anything above 480 is larger than standard-definition (720 and 1080 are the norm), and the set will scale both lower and larger resolutions to fit. Being that the set is only 23.6" wide, I don't see the loss of 1080 that big a deal for TV use. What's the point in squeezing all those extra pixels on such a small screen? The average person won't notice a difference for movies and television shows. However, that is a bit low for computer monitor use (especially if you are doing any gaming).

The speakers are about what you'd expect from such a small set; loud enough to hear, but not very diverse in dynamic range (not much in the way of bass). But you can use an Optical Cable to output digital sound to a receiver (great for surround sound systems and TurtleBeach headsets). If you are using this as a computer monitor, oddly enough there is no aux (3.5mm) "in" port (there's one that goes "out," such as to headphones, but not in). The directions say, "Use the PC speakers for audio." That said, if your video card has an HDMI out that also passes sound though, you can get the speakers on the monitor to work with the PC. If you use DVI to HDMI, they will not.

Overall, the Samsung T24D310NH does a decent job as a small, basic -- no bells and whistles -- TV (good for kitchens, dorms, bedrooms, and other small rooms). However, it is a bit weak and limited for a computer monitor, and as a TV in larger rooms; such as a living room. But when used for the right purpose, it gets the job done.

I bought this tv for use in my exercise room so I could stream videos. Picture quality is good and the interface is simple to use.
Setup took about 15 minutes from unboxing to when I was streaming a video, and the longest part of setup was updating the software. Wireless connection is easy to set up but a little slow, or you can also connect via ethernet cable which might improve the connection speed. I only use this to stream from internet services, but there is a remote IR blaster for use with a cable box (so you can keep the cable box hidden) and the remote operates as a "universal" for cable boxes too.
There's a nice selection of apps pre-loaded, including most of the popular ones(Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, etc) and connecting to them is very easy. The typing interface is similar to what you would find on an Xbox or Play Station console - pretty intuitive.
The only downsides I've found so far are that the power cord is a little short (only about 4 ft long) which makes any sort of stealh installation a little more difficult, and the operating system runs a little slow. Considering the price, though, I really have no complaints.

Overall, this is a great TV with a great picture and offers a lot of features for the price.  I use this TV for every-day TV, sports (football mostly) and movies.  The picture is bright and contrast is very good.  Viewing angle is not bad, but the colors do tend to wash out a bit after maybe 50-60 degrees off center, especially when displaying a brighter picture.  Football looks great on it and one of the first things I watched a baseball game which was absolutely awesome looking.

I did have to spend a little time to adjust some settings for things I found a bit annoying out of the box.  The "Eco Solution" settings would adjust the picture brightness based on room lighting and would dim the picture way too much with the default settings.  The good news is it provides ample adjustment to limit how much it dims as well as the ability to turn it off completely.  I also had to adjust brightness, contrast, etc. to look good in my environment and to suit my tastes, but that is not uncommon.  The other odd behavior I found was when watching shows with the constant (and annoying, IMHO) camera movement like "Law and Order".  The movement of characters in the show looked very unnatural and almost had a weird 3D effect.  I found that adjusting the Auto Motion Plus to the "Clear" setting improved this quite a bit and I don't notice it any more.  Again they provide a few knobs to turn to adjust this to your preference.

While I didn't buy a TV for internet apps, they are rather cool.  I use Pandora quite a bit and it's great.  The Social TV would probably be pretty cool for those into social networking since you can watch TV and mess around on Facebook at the same time.  I'm not much into this stuff and I still found it to be a nice feature.  The Smart Hub user interface is a bit clunky but gets the job done.  The internet browser is useless without a way to point-and-click.  Entering text for web sites or logging into online services is painful without some type of keyboard.  I downloaded the Samsung Smart TV remote app for my iPod Touch and that works pretty well, but still is quirky at times.

The controls on the front of the TV are absolutely useless.  The controls are on the lower-right front of the TV.  These are not buttons, but are touch sensitive areas in the bezel with no defined borders and the silk-screening is virtually impossible to see with the TV on and without bright lighting in the room.  Keep the remote handy.

Overall, I'd give a 4.5+ star rating for picture quality.  I'd give it a 5 if not for the viewing angle.
I'd give a 3.5 star rating for everything else...mostly needing improvement in user interface.

Out of the box the picture needs considerable setup to achieve a good picture.  I used DVE HD Basics setup disc to calibrate the screen.  Without it the preset picture modes are unacceptable. After calibration the picture is very nice, but not without limitations.
Pros:  Nice picture clarity, makes 1080p resolution look very clear, standard blu rays look very nice, works well with 4k ultra blu rays and HDR, excels with brighter scenes, color production is acceptable, very smooth motion, no juttering, nice looking slim bezel, setting interface is fairly easy to use, android tv apps function pretty smooth, screen mirroring works well
Cons:  Although it makes 1080p signals look very nice it does not upconvert them anywhere near 4k,  there is a reasonable amount of backlight bleed although this was improved with proper brightness and contrast settings but still present especially in the top corners, poor black production,  the tv struggles to produce deep blacks, Extremely poor connectivity, the tv has Bluetooth but only for keyboards and mice, headphones smartphones tablets cannot be connected via Bluetooth, poor software support, the tv has not even gotten android marshmallow yet and that is an old os by now with nougat already released,  also no software update to improve poor Bluetooth connectivity

This is a fairly good tv and if you are upgrading from an older 1080p screen you will definitely be pleased.  It displays 4k signals very well after some work calibrating the screen, and connects well to a 4k ultra hd blu ray player.  I purchased this tv to get me through the next few years until OLED technology is more affordable.  If this this is your tv for the next few years you will be happy, but if you are in for the long term you may be disappointed by some of it's limitations especially the fact that Sony does not seem to be supporting it with timely software updates.  I'd say the rating is 3.5 out 5.

An awesome, inexpensive TV with one big letdown. The picture is much sharper then I expected and makes my cheap non HD cable package look great. Response is great for a low spec TV and the contrast and lighting is good as well. It was easy to setup and the ports on the back, and side, are easy to access. It is also a nice surprise to have physical buttons that can be used. The letdown is that it does not have a standard analog audio out (headphone port) and supports digital audio out only. Due to this I was ready to return it, but the sound from the built in speakers is decent, and the rest of the TV is so awesome, I will use it as is.

You can get an adapter to convert the digital audio to analog for about $35, this requires another plug to power and more cables, etc. My rationale is that this is a basic, low cost TV, so why would LG assume the buyer would have hi end audio. A buyer with a hi end audio system would likely buy a much more expensive TV.

So, if this had an earphone port, so I could use my 2.1 speakers system, I would give it 5 stars.  But I would not buy it again because of no headphone jack.
