Same. Still have my Sceptres and they still look great today. If you can, get yourself a surround system that you're willing to pay for with a subwoofer and amp. Much better experience. Thanks for the comment!
I don't know the longevity either but I have a U55 and a U50. The U55 is at least 5 years old maybe 6 or more. The U50 is at least 3 years old. Both are still working and look like new
Yes it will. I had put the newer generation 4k Fire Stick on it. It will also take the older version. Can't speak for the use of the new Fire Stick Lite. Don't know what that's all about?! Thanks for the question
I had this tv basically last only 1 year and 7 months. And it is out of warranty. It has purple lines and hazes it shows on the screen go in and out and then back to a normal picture and then back to purple lines and hazes. Tried different cable boxes, tried different hdmi cables. The same result. Even tried the composite output for a video game system. Same problem. And it seems like a pain in the butt to get the serial number. Other tvs have labels for the numbers they have on the sticker. They will label it with S/N. Then they will tell you the model number with the label model number. This TV just has stickers claiming it's the version number. Then they have another sticker with a number on it. Not telling you if it's the S/N. Then when you google how to find S/N on Sceptre TVs you can't find an answer. Nothing in the manual states where to find the S/N. If people say oh you get what you pay for. Well, there is no proof spending more on a TV. That it is going to last 2 years even. So why spend more? If they make TVs worse than they did back then. I literally had tvs last 10 to 15 years. We shouldn't have to be buying warranties and just hoping it will at least last more than 5 years. Okay this is another TV. It's a Sceptre 50" Class 4K UHD LED TV U515CV-U. Not the exact brand. But you get the idea that they can't make tvs last more than 2 to 5 years? Same company. Same concept. I guess I'll check tv repair communities.
@@vapeking466 Haha. I just bought it. It is not a smart TV but it is perfect for me cause I am using it as my computer monitor. My 43 inch LG HD TV has been there for 7 years. So, I suppose it won't last too much longer.
It's all good. Some people might just might want to be sure before they throw money around on something their getting online rather in person I suppose. Some questions are a little obvious though.
Can anyone tell me if this is a glossy screen or matte? I live in Florida, so I only want a Non-Gloss TV. Not sure why Non-Gloss TV screens are not popular. Thanks.
You would need to connect a device to it such as a fire stick, roku, Chromecast, or maybe a gaming system. I don't see a reason for just the TV itself.
Got mine today, delivery was delayed 3 days, got left it at the door, thank goodness I was home too. I'm not using cable can't set up to stream? It only asks for antenna, nothing shows on HDMI mode? It's 4K so you don't need a stick right?! The menu doesn't show much. How can I use Bluetooth to connect to my soundboard, or download apps?
It's a "dumb" tv with no apps, like older tv's are, so you need to hook up a streaming device (like a Roku) or plug in a bluray player or game console.
It really hurts to see this video. No wonder there are returns. You lay this tv flat on a bed and pull the box away . This guy stands the products on the floor RUNNING THE GREAT RISK OF DAMAGING THE P E R T R U D I N G. sensor on the lower right corner ( when lit it is blue) This even labelled as a WARNING to NOT PUT ANY WEIGHT ON THIS SENSOR DO NOT UNPACK A TV LIKE THIS GUY!!
Don't lose your mind over it. It works just fine. The picture is still beautiful and the remote/sensor, whatever, works just fine.., Mr. Container Guy.
I'm sorry. I'm not able to answer that question because I don't know. You might want to ask the manufacturer or somebody else on TH-cam. I just pull them out of the box and set them up like a regular guy. 😛 Thanks for watching.
No, not directly. If you attach a streaming stick to it like I did, Amazon Fire stick for example, you can and it works. I hope that answers your question.
All my Tv's are Spectre 50 & 65 inch and I never take off the plastic from my TV's and they work excellent!! I will get a sound bar eventually.

Thank you so much, this was so helpful.
Your welcome.
I'm glad to hear that. 🙂
We just got a free spectre tv w55 model from our neighbor. Its 11 yrs old but, meh, its turns on so. I have an oled c1 65 inch but, free is free so.
How's it holding up still working ok? Would you recommend it still? 🤔
It's still working fantastic. Hooked it up to a pyle amp and still good to go!
Just bought this refurbished and got the handy Allstate Protection Plan. All for 300$!!!
Thank you so much for this vid! I was unsure how to put the feet on as the diagram was not helpful.
I'm glad it was helpful.
Can I hook a bose speaker to it for surround sound cause I heard the sound sucks
There is auxiliary 3.5 mm audio and AV ports in the back of it.
You might want to ask the manufacturer just to be safe.
So can I put the fire stick and it will work?
Yes it will.
I had put the newer generation 4k Fire Stick on it.
It will also take the older version.
Can't speak for the use of the new Fire Stick Lite.
Don't know what that's all about?!

The prices of TVs are actually much more expensive this year than last year. Maybe I will wait for the Black Friday next year. Good unboxing.
Yeah probably due to the inflation and shipping issues. This tv is $248 this year.

A belated 'Thank You' for your comment.
Was it light to pick up. You made it look like it wasnt heavy
No. It's heavy.
Lift up on the box to see if it's heavy for you before you unpack it and have somebody help you before you pull it out if you need to.
Have you had any issues with it yet?
Nope.
You can see it right here

Yo ppl killing me talking about can u connect this to the tv can u connect that its a tv. Have u used a tv before 😂
It's all good.

Some questions are a little obvious though.
Can anyone tell me if this is a glossy screen or matte? I live in Florida, so I only want a Non-Gloss TV. Not sure why Non-Gloss TV screens are not popular. Thanks.
It looks matte to me
What is the shipping weight ?
Add a TCL Alto 8i 2.1 Channel Dolby Atmos Sound Bar with Built-in Subwoofers and Bluetooth - TS8111, 260W, 39.4-inch, Black
I ended up getting 400 watt pile amp and I had a couple of old Aiwa speakers and it pumps hard with that big ass screen.👍🏻
Can you connect to wifi with this tv
You would need to connect a device to it such as a fire stick, roku, Chromecast, or maybe a gaming system.
I don't see a reason for just the TV itself.
@@therealWoD I see. thanks
Got mine today, delivery was delayed 3 days, got left it at the door, thank goodness I was home too.

It's not a smart tv so no built in wi-fi or Bluetooth
It's a "dumb" tv with no apps, like older tv's are, so you need to hook up a streaming device (like a Roku) or plug in a bluray player or game console.
My experience wasn’t that easy or successful! I have a brand new 4K Fire Stick but it will not connect to WiFi... 😔
That's strange.
I hope you returned the stick for another.
Or maybe check the router 🤔
@@therealWoD thank you!

Will this tv work with a fire stick? Thank you.
Yes
Is this smart TV?
Not a smart TV just using a Amazon fire stick
Hey. What is the rgb range on this tv Limited or Full? I am playing a ps3 with an mcable on this tv
I'm sorry.
I'm not able to answer that question because I don't know.
You might want to ask the manufacturer or somebody else on TH-cam.

Thanks for watching.
@@therealWoD thanks for responding😃. Your right I'll try and ask the manufacture.
How is it
It's good
Thumbs up for the bad joke! ;-)
It sounds better if you mount it
I would've but it was too heavy and I don't trust the walls to hold it. Old walls.
This TV can be connect to wifi?
No, not directly.
If you attach a streaming stick to it like I did, Amazon Fire stick for example, you can and it works.
I hope that answers your question.
