Incredible TV for the price
584456
As others have posted, I was hesitant to buy a TV on line.  But, based on what some reviewers said, I made the move and was extremely satisfied with Amazon's handling of the order.  With free shipping and a promise of 5-9 business days, I ordered it late on a Wed. night and it was on my porch by noon on Sat.  Unbelievable!  I do wonder why they would deliver a TV without a signature and just leave it on a porch, visible to anyone passing by, in an unwrapped box, clearing showing that it is an LCD TV.  A dishonest person, which I am obviously not, could say they never got it and there is no proof that it was delivered.  This is an Amazon decision, to not require a signature and it seems foolish to me.

Out of the carton, without a cable box and just attaching the coaxial cable straight from the wall, the picture is terrific and equals my 42 inch Panasonic plasma TV with an HD cable box.  I haven't even attached the Comcast adapter yet and I am amazed with the crispness of the picture, lack of distortion and the color quality is great.  I don't think I will even bother to tweak the settings.  Attaching the base is simply done with a single thumb screw.

I have external speakers that I used with my last TV and I'm not sure if I'm going to bother switching to them.  The sound quality is fine for me as it is.

We got this TV toward the end of June and have had a few months to watch various content on it including TV shows, Netflix, movies (BD, DVD, and 3D), and PS3 games.  The viewing experience on this TV is absolutely phenomenal.  The fans on the TV are audible, but they are no louder than our Onkyo receiver or the PS3.  So, unless one is watching a silent movie with no other components running, the noise does not detract from the experience.

The colors are fantastic and the blacks on this TV are unbelievable. The 3D experience using the included glasses was pretty nifty as well (PS3 games and BD 3D movies).

I will admit that there is a bit of image retention on the TV from static elements from Netflix etc., however, they are not very obvious.  We run the screen swipe every now and then and that seems to have helped.

If I had to go back and choose again, the only choice I may have made differently would have been to spring for the 65"-er.

This TV is a phenomenal addition to our home theater.

This is an AWESOME TV!! The refresh rate does make a difference in a 4K TV and this one has the 120Hz refresh rate. Cost is incredible considering the features. The speakers are adequate although audiophiles might want a sound bar. I'm extremely pleased with this set at this price point

I own this television for 4 months and I must admit, I love it.

I am one that will prefer the clarity of the picture over size. This TV satisfy me totally.

The image is really awesome. But then, this is to be expected with Samsung. I used to own a CRT screen for a couple of years, now a 22 inch monitor and I just loved the clarity of the picture. This TV belongs to the same category. Stunning.

I used it with HD-DVR from Comcast and with PS3. I just watched The Dark Knight in BluRay this weekend and the scene turned in IMAX looked amazing. I could not believe how good it looks.

This TV for under 1000$ is a steal.

I needed a flatscreen to go above my fireplace in a fairly sunny room. It also had to be 120Hz as I watch a lot of sport. I can say that this TV is really incredible, especially when you consider the price. I read "techie" reviews at AVSforum and was impressed. Hockey seems to benefit the most from 120Hz with the fast player movement, fast camera panning, and tiny puck. Turning 120Hz (clearframe) off really makes you realize the difference. The colors are great, bright without being too unrealistic. The sound is good enough. I recommend turning the bass boost to medium to reduce some occasional distortion. Although it has a glossy frame, its thin, so isn't too distracting. The IR passthrough feature is great - I have the TV above the fireplace, and the A/V components off to the side out of view. The only negative thing I've found so far is the time it takes the TV to readjust after changing channels (using an HD satellite box...it takes a couple of seconds to change channels). However, I am not sure if this is the TV's fault or the satellite receiver. I've had the TV for several months and am still impressed every time I turn it on.

We are 30 days in with this tv, so I have yet to calibrate it after a 90-day break-in period.

Picture: Stunning. Images are crisp and vibrant. The upscaling is phenomenal. Some issues: At high motion, the 4k struggles at times. This is to be expected with a value 4k television, but worth noting. Also, the viewing angle is not huge. This tv is at its best when the family is sitting within a 30 degree range from the center of the display.

Gaming: Fantastic. Low input lag, crisp picture with little blur. My PS4 looks great on the tv, especially when sitting 6-8 feet away. I did notice that game-mode tends to dull some of the colors down. Slightly annoying, but when gaming I'm not as picky about the colors.

Apps: Netflix functionality is slick. We also like the Playstation Movie store available with a click, in case we decide to rent something. The tv powers up/down fairly quickly, and apps don't have too much lag.

Sound: Meh. If you're going to invest in a tv like this, plan on utilizing a sound bar, which we do. The sound is fairly mediocre.

First of all, let me make it clear that I have only used this TV as a computer monitor, so I cannot really comment on its, well, TV functions. However, I am certain of this: if you are looking for a 1080p monitor, forget the monitors, buy this amazing 50" TV!

- Image
The colors are very vibrant and vivid. View angles are amazing, I haven't noticed any difference in colors even when looking at the display almost parallel to it. I don't know whether this TV uses any blur reduction and motion smoothing, but it looks much better than many sets that use those functions: at 60Hz, the motions are almost as fluid as on some 120Hz monitors, and I don't see any noticeable blur either. I don't think you can find a TV with a better image than this, unless you look at models with refresh rates above 120Hz.
The text is very clear, and the gaming is incredibly immersing, impossible to even compare to those tiny 27" monitors they sell these days. The only problem you might notice is visible pixelization if you sit up close: after all, 1080p is a bit low for a 50" display. That said, if sitting about 5ft away from the TV, pixelization is no longer really noticeable.

-Input lag
I don't notice it at all. If I really focus and try to find it by moving my mouse around and comparing its movement to the movement of the cursor of the screen, I see a very-very tiny time delay, but it doesn't affect my gaming experience even in fast-paced FPS games at all.

I don't think there is anything else to say. For a computer monitor, two things are important: image quality and responsiveness - and this TV offers both at their best!

Now, an interesting question is whether you can find a better TV for the price in general. I believe you can: not only some TVs feature 120Hz or even 240Hz for a comparable price, but these days you can also get a 4K TV for a relatively cheap price (which is what I'm going to do for the Christmas). Namely, for pretty much the same price, you can get a Seiki 39 inch 4k TV (for use as a monitor, I think 40" is the best compromise between size and pixel density), the only drawback is not being able to use full chroma and high refresh rate (you can only use 4K@30Hz@4:2:0 on cheap 4K sets). Especially since the prices on 4K TVs are falling down like apples in the Fall, I believe in a few months small sized (below 60") 1080p TVs will become, pretty much, obsolete. However, since 4K requires a lot more power from your computer system to drive it at the same graphical settings and at the same performance, if you don't have a high end gaming rig, I believe this lovely Sceptre is as close to perfection as you can get for a reasonable price.

Also, I want to say thanks to this TV for killing monitors for me! I will never again buy a computer monitor. TVs are where it is at nowadays. And even though I've only used it for 5 months and am now getting a 4K TV instead, these 5 months were the best gaming months of my life. Thank you Sceptre!

At first I mainly was interested in the price saving and to my surprise and extreme pleasure this is one of the best TV's I have ever had.  Easy to operate etc.  I am so pleased with my purchase!

Awesome TV; best part of the purchase (i'm a prime member) is that they deliver the tv to a room of your choice and take TV out of box put the stand on and make sure TV isn't broken. I watched and read a bunch of reviews before buying this tv and while it's not the best on the market, for the price you can't go wrong the oled is crazy. All the photos and videos I've seen don't do any justice to the image you see in your house(most devices don't support the color or definition unless you already have something that supports 4K). Defintely would recommend to anyone looking for a great TV at a reasonable price.

I am not a videophile, but I did research purchasing a TV for about 5 months.  After considering most of the important options (CRT [no ghosting], 30"-34", under $1000, HDTV) I decided on this model.  I am VERY happy with the purchase.

First of all, the image is incredible.  Being a newbie to HD, after I first plugged it in and found the channels, we ended up watching half of "24" in regular broadcast on channel 9.  My wife commented how she didn't see any difference from our regular 27" Panasonic.  Commercials popped on and she started channel surfing, and I realized that HD channels are actually different numbers altogether.  We switched to channel 9.1 and enjoyed the rest of Jack and the team taking on the president's men in HD.  Needless to say, my wife took her words back.  Total night and day between regular broadcast and HD.  "They" say that HD is to regular broadcast as the switch to color was from black and white. No kidding!

The set up was so easy.  It took about 10 minutes for the TV to search for regular and HD channels before we were mesmerized.  There is a cool option to preset your channels and the translucent display is great.  Its great that I now can read the name of the show, short descriptions of the content, and the resolution that it is broadcast in.  This is all over-the-air, not cable!  I definitely like the over the air option, as we are not interested dishing out $70 a month for TV we probably won't watch.  However, if it's snowing outside, the picture can sometimes cut out, the screen will turn black and "no signal" will pop up.  We feared it was the TV set, but soon realized it was the snowstorm outside.

Sound is fantastic.  It's a bit of a mute point however, since I have a simple surround sound system.  If I didn't, though, I may not have felt justified in getting one, since the sound is so good on this TV.  I cannot yet comment on DVDs as I am waiting for a Monster component cable to arrive via e-bay.  I watched a bit of the Matrix using an S-video cable and was not impressed.  It didn't look bad, just not up to potential.  You will definitely need to upgrade to HDMI or component cables to take full advantage of DVDs or game consoles.

Finally, the option of viewing photos via the Sony memory stick slot is a great bonus. The pictures are clear and colorful.  You have the option of zooming, flipping, playing a slideshow and using piano music set into the TV or MP3s your memory stick.  Cool.  Well, I am still playing around with the options and feel very lucky to have this set.  On top of that, I paid $835.99 including shipping.  If you look around, you might find that deal too!

I have owned this TV for about 5 months and I am very impressed with this TV and have many good things to say about it. I currently have this TV hanging on my wall and usually watch it at around a 12-foot distance which I believe is a good distance for a 46-inch TV. I am also using this TV as a monitor for a home theater PC which looks just as good as my other computer monitor, if not better. The only reason i didn't give this TV 5 stars is because of the built in speakers

PROS

Matte screen finish (Reduces glare significantly which is a big plus when viewing in a room with lots of windows)

Built-in video up-scalar is awesome (I am always impressed when watching VHS and DVD movies.)

Power Consumption (Only 230 Watts powered)

Weight (Weight without the stand is less than 50 lbs which is light enough for me to lift it onto the wall by myself)

HDMI connections (3 HDMI connections seems plenty enough for the devices I have currently)

60,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio (twice as good as previous model)

CONS

Built in speakers (Speakers started to rattle and buzz after the volume was turned up to around 50. I would defiantly recommend a home audio system if you want to get the full movie experience)

Component video connections (I had to buy a component switch that could handle my component connections from my Wii, Playstation, and DVD player)

I love this TV!!!!

I use this TV as a replacement of my bedroom TV and i love it every day!!

The quality in the desing is excellent. Al the materials are very high end for this price.

The quality picture is awesome. Full 1080p images, really bright, the colors are just perfect. Have a excellent "Black" and great sharp images.

The internal speakers sounds very nice. I would like to have a little bit more of base sound but is clear in the mid and high.

For gaming is great. I use my PS4 to play and see Bluray movies and i love it.

In the conection aspect, this TV have 1 USB port and an HDMI in the Left Panel. In the back have a Component, 1 HDMI, have RCA sound output and Optical Sound output.

The menu is very simple to navigate and use. I use my Google Chromecast in this TV i love it.

I recomend this product 1000%!! Is excellent.

This TV is simply amazing!  I've had it for about a month now and I can't find anything to complain about.  I'm not using the TV speakers, as it's hooked up to a home theater receiver package and the sound is amazing.  The clarity of the TV is even better than I imagined it would be, especially with HD channels.  I'm still messing around with the settings, as the clarity isn't the greatest on non-HD channels but I'm convinced that's not a problem with the TV given the crystal clear HD picture.  The "extras" on the G10 are a bit confusing to set up (internet, camera, etc) but haven't attempted to hook that up yet.  I think I need extra hardware for it and I doubt I'd use it that often anyway.

About Amazon - I doubt I'll ever shop anywhere ever again!  The prices are the lowest I could find anywhere and talk about customer service...  I originally purchased the 46" but when it arrived it was just a bit too large for the space where my TV needs to reside (yes, I measured the area first and thought it would be OK but just didn't sit quite right).  Amazon accepted the return and shipped me the 42" and I was charged NOT ONE PENNY FOR SHIPPING!  Not the return, not the new order, nada.  They are exceptional when it comes to customer service and even though it was my mistake they took extremely good care of me.  Oh yeah, the shipping was also QUICK - I had the TV in about a week from when I placed the order.  Amazing!!!

Amazing tv at a great price. 3 hdmi connections, optical sound output, super thin, light weight, and the colors are crisp and clear

I love my new tv! This tv has a superb picture, very bright and fast wit the 120hz refresh rate. Very clean with many different and custom adjustments for the picture. Sound is very good with occasional low moments but I have always attributed that to shoddy sound transfers to dvds and downloadable content. But it can get very loud if you need also with many different soundscapes and custom adjustments. I recommend this TV, especially if you can get it under $600

recently i was in the market for a new TV to upgrade in my living room and so i could move my old 32" LCD Panasonic (which by the way i have had for 5 years and have never had an issue)to my bedroom.  not knowing very much about TV technology and how far it had come in the last 5 years i tried to learn as much as i could from reading reviews of TV's in my price range.  after looking i realized that i probably could not get anything over 50" for $500.00-$600.00 unless i went with Plasma.  i have always liked the way Plasma looked but heard it was known to have issue.  anyways i went to best buy to check out what it looked like is person and was still a little hesitant because the quality did not look that great, but on most reviews i read about how they do not do anything to the TVs when they display them so to not let that be your determining factor.  so i went for it mostly because i wanted this size TV for a good price (actually paid $499.00).  i was pleasantly surprised when i got it home.  it was extremely light, easy to set up, and for over a week i never even touched a setting because of how great the picture looked.  the viewing angle on this TV is out of this world.  i can almost stand to the side and behind the TV and still see the picture as clear as if i was standing right in front of it.  after reading another review on this TV yesterday i did experiment with the settings last night and found that if you set it to the movie setting (there are only 3 settings, normal, dynamic, and movie, all of which look great) it seems to make it even more crisp and lightens up the whites a bit.  there is no way you can go wrong with this TV, for the price it is great, and i don't know why anyone would need anything bigger, and forget the 1080P, there is no need for it unless you like throwing away money.  even the sound for such a slim TV is amazing.  i happened to purchase a Samsung 500 watt surround sound system the day before i bought the TV because i heard that the sounds on the newer slim TV's were not very good, but i almost wish i didn't, because you really don't need it, unless you like to shake the floors when you watch movies (which i do).  all and all i could not have picked a better TV and i would Recommend  this TV to any and everyone, it is easily the best value for this size TV on the market.

I love this TV.  The assembly and setup are super easy.  The image quality is superb. The image quality and the price are why I purchased this TV.  I could not be happier.

The TV is super light, so setting it up alone is real easy.

It's Energy Star rating is only $15/year, which is super cheap for a TV this size

The only issues I have are with the sound.  I wish that the speakers were better.  I planned on getting surround sound speakers at the time of purchase, so this is no big deal for me.

No HDMI cable ships with the TV, so make certain that you have one.
