Firstly, the last tv I had, I purchased from a thrift store 10 years ago, it weighed 70 pounds and I had to use a transformer just to hook it up to a DVD player and forget about hooking it up to my receiver. 1990 kept calling saying they wanted their tv back, but I kept letting it go to voicemail until now. 1990 is happy. I’m happy. With that being said, this is the first flat-screen I’ve had in my life and so I can’t compare it’s quality to other modern TVs.
On with the review... it was packaged really well and arrived without damage. (Amazon delivered it to my neighbor though. I’m glad I have honest neighbors). The tv was easy to set up, and is sturdy on its base/feet and it hooks up to my DVD player. The sound quality on its own isn’t that great, but I’m a snob about sound quality, which is why I’m SUPER happy that I can hook it up to my receiver/external speakers and it sounds crystal clear.
I don’t have cable or dish, and I mainly bought this to hook up to my laptop and Chromebook to watch Netflix or YouTube or whatever. I was confused at first and tried to connect my laptop via USB which, in retrospect, makes no sense at all. After connecting it with an HDMI cord, it was in extended screen mode, so I had to go to the settings on my computer to switch to mirror mode before my screen was projected. I’m providing this info in case whoever is reading this is a bit technologically challenged like myself.
The screen quality is good but, again, I’m comparing this to a 1990s TV, so I don’t know how the screen compares to similar brands. Lastly, it came with batteries for the remote, which is just a little detail that I appreciated.
So there ya go.... I’m really happy with my little TV and I hope this review helped you.
