"first thought it was too big and that it would be a tv but it works quite nicely minus the huge fact that it seems to have some energy efficiency setting so the brightness seems to adjust itself running as a computer which is very annoying but possibly that could somehow be turned off"

"the worst problem though is the poor signal message which appears across the screen even when there is nothing wrong with an hd picture and the signal strength is fine"

"there was a delay in delivery and the tv despite having a good quality and overall appearance arrived with a defect inside the screen on the bottom part as if it were bent or forced and this specific part gets hot!"

"hugely disappointed"

"any negative reviews saying picture is washed out you need to adjust all tv's to your room and the worst place to see one is in a shop !"

"it’s an incredibly frustrating tv"

"sooo dissapointed and very surprised that more people havent commented on how cloudy and faded the picture looks"

"this tv is riddled with bugs so i cannot recommend it"

"having just set it up which was quite easy and straightforward however there's a problem with the screen at the top there's a slight grey line which is obviously noticed when there are white or blue colours and it's very annoying because your eyes are drawn to that part of the tv the build of the tv is not great very flimsy and the top of the tv doesn't seem to be sealed properly the integration of apps and live tv works great but the build and quality let's it down"

"extremely cheap compared to other models"

"on unpacking and plugging in found huge cracks all over the screen"

"for the money i paid i might have been able to if it were not for all these annoying glitches"

"alexa is dumb as hell"

"what a heap of junk!"

"very disappointed customer"

"i've tested using a v6 box from virgin on standard definition the picture isn't superb but then that's virgins fault for still sending poor images"

"curry's have fed back the problem to jvc and it will probably be fixed on a software upgrade at sometime of course i will probably never know as they never tell you exactly what the software upgrades are for"

"totally unusable and very difficult to return"

"a recent software update has pretty much sorted the tv guide issue and the itv hub issue so it's getting much better "

"after reading the first review about the washed out picture quality i was pleased to see several refuting reviews with 5 star picture quality"

"i live in a small flat the size is not too overbearing and fits nicely in the corner it does not make the room feel small as others so claim it would"

"for anyone where sound is a major issue they would already have separate speaker systems anyway"

"i m really happy to have chosen this jvc instead of more expensive tvs with the exact same features"

"but the volume and sound settings were awful"

"all internal speaker sound options were dreadful"

"the settings for video are kind of lacking"

"i'm not happy with the condition of the tv it has 2 massive cracks on the screen as you can see in the picture"

"for some reason you can only adjust the picture brightness contrast sharpness on the external inputs but not when using the firetv apps so when watching things on plex or amazon prime the image looks pale and washed out"

"i was a little apprehensive at first based on some of the reviews but they were unjustified"

"however after about a week or 2 of use it started lagging and became very slow"

"one dead pixel on the side of the tv when arrived so be wary to check it when receiving"

"great tv easy to set up the only problem is the volume is low but beside that great tv"

"i do have some complaints thou"

"they sent a trouble shooting link for a different handset and had ignored the bit in my email where i clearly state buttons aren't working apart from the on off button so couldn't follow trouble shooting instructions anyway!"

"any negative reviews saying picture is washed out you need to adjust all tv's to your room and the worst place to see one is in a shop !"

"i've tested using a v6 box from virgin on standard definition the picture isn't superb but then that's virgins fault for still sending poor images"

"so it's either keeps syncing or go back to the optical cable"

"the screen has arrived broken and now i have to carry the huge tv to a drop point in order to get my money back"

"edited review had to return due to an odd "wrinkle" in the inner led panel at the top not obvious at first stupidly tested with video with black bars at the top and bottom leading to a permanent shadow at the top of the screen when viewing bright content in full screen no damage to the outer screen so likely a manufacturing flaw"

"i like all the features listed above but the only thing i dislike is it takes quite a bit of time to come on when the tv is first switched on"

"you have been warned"

"that is the biggest problem i see with the tv as some people cant stand that blurryness"

"sometimes the control just does not work"

"it is generally slow in operation and takes ages to display picture or sound from switch on even when it is set to just show live tv on powering on"

"i see what people are saying about a little dull colors etc but for the price i think it works great"

"screen completely damaged!"

"the worst problem though is the poor signal message which appears across the screen even when there is nothing wrong with an hd picture and the signal strength is fine"

"had over a month now and wish i had returned it"

"some apps are obscure but at least one apple tv+ is a major omission particularly if you have a subscription to that service"

"sadly when i received this tv it was damaged on the top frame so back light was leaking on the screen"

"you lose both sound and picture in the guide and worst of all it often states that "no program information is available" so its basically useless for letting you know whats on tv when you need it"

"it is flimsy in construction so handle carefully"

"the brightness is poor the blacks are poor and the colours are washed out"

"i find that sometimes it doesn't quite register button presses"

"some apps are obscure but at least one apple tv+ is a major omission particularly if you have a subscription to that service"

"i'm not worried about damage from a toddler as it's a cheap tv"

"anything involving the bland looking tv guide is awful"

"it arrived broken"

"the only thing i would see as a 'negative' is that the sound lacks any bass so can be slightly tinny depending on what you are watching but it is not a big issue"

"it’s a new product with a great resolution so this this defect gets very apparent and interferes with the image of what is being watched"

"it is also very obvious that this tv lacks the processing power of comeptitor products and the fire tv sticks which i also own"

"i asked the obvious questions about weather etc and she always answers"

"it’s made of pretty flimsy plastic so bends a lot while screwing in wall mount plate and screws got stuck necessitating hacksaw to remove!"

"i find the remote is too small and operating the number buttons awkward"

"but once you have synced the bluetooth the link drops out occasionally which sets it out of sync"

"have installed plenty of tv’s in my time this is the second try at installing this after having the first tv replaced as the remote just does not pair with the tv"

"who ever is moaning about this tv and rating it a 1star has got nothing better to do and probably an upper class snob"

"i'm not worried about damage from a toddler as it's a cheap tv"

"can't grumble other than the fact thst the software doesn't support now tv but that's always annoyed me about amazon products haha"

"the only downside is that we wish we had bought a bigger one as this looks a little lost now that we have wall mounted it"

"i was sceptical when i saw some reviews and such a low price however this is probably the best tv i could have purchased"

"now i am stuck trying to return it"

"not a lot of information online regarding the alexa integration so a lot of trial and error"

"my only complaint is that its a little thicker than some of the new smart tvs coming out at the moment but for the price it's hardly an issue"

"poor epg as no picture in picture"

"the stand is a little bit flimsy"

"my only complaint is that its a little thicker than some of the new smart tvs coming out at the moment but for the price it's hardly an issue"

"in terms of build the set is quite light and though the frame is plastic it does not look to bad and unless you sit just a few feet in front of it you will not notice"

"keep in mind that very little material is indeed 4k so my guess is that most people will do as well with a full hd one"

"fireos still running when in standby so no waiting to boot when tv turned on"

"note that the menus are specific to each input not linked overall"

"what when the screen was smashed when i received it"

"can't grumble other than the fact thst the software doesn't support now tv but that's always annoyed me about amazon products haha"

"don’t be fooled by 4k as the picture is not great but is adequate for the price"

"the colours are not good at all and look dull but the picture quality was ok for the price"

"i spend most of an hour trying to reset the remote and then trying different batteries as well as resetting the tv but this made no difference"

"excellent tv at a bargain price very fast at loading anything from netflix to prime good detailed picture blacks could be better but it's led and not a plasma and no new tv can compete with a plasma for blacks or motion rate not even an oled"

"when it arrived the screen was damaged and smashed"

"not sure if there's no up scaling capability or its just poor but anything below 1080p can look terrible"

"the remote control is reasonably intuitive but not always the most responsive i find navigation of channels setting and apps can be frustratingly slow at times"

"the remote control is a little clunky unresponsive at times but not a concern"

"the remove control is plastic and light with rubber wobbly buttons"

"took a bit of setting up but very happy with the picture quality now you have to get into the menus to find the option to turn down the backlight or it just looks washed out"

"it is noticeably poor for standard freeview broadcasts hd fares better but i have a very fast internet connection and i’ve streamed 4k uhd content from both netflix and amazon and it just lacks that depth of colour expected and the “wow” factor and it’s no better than hd"

"the picture is clear and fairly vibrant however did feel like a small downgrade compared to a 3 year old samsung"

"choosing a netflix movie to watch memory can't process it quickly freezing occurs"

"to be fair we use 3rd party speakers for our main tv's as this is the only way to get a decent sound so again i wasn't surprised at the poor quality sound but it does make me appreciate how good our other speakers systems are"

"it is very tinny however on a tv at this price point it is to be expected"

"for me the picture was lacking in brightness also the set kept losing the wifi password and the lack of local controls even on off demonstrated the general low build cost"

"the colours are very odd"

"i wasted a few hours trying to find install the apps without success"

"why navigate the hoards of angry xmas shoppers?"

"i have a same size philips which cost about 100 more which is better but if you are working to a tight budget or this is not going to be your main set then i think you could do a lot worse"

"unable to give a review as the tv is at the service centre it is waiting for a new signal board panasonic sent a board 2 weeks ago but it was the wrong one panasonic are unable to tell the service centre when they will receive a correct one"
