Add some blazing color to your Amazon Fire TV remote with this orange Insignia cover. It shields your controller from scratches and dings to keep it looking new, and its snug fit ensures it won't slip off. This Insignia cover has several circular cutouts for full access to all remote functions.

This was last summer. At the time it was listed about this price but at a much inflated original price. The picture was not as good as my lower priced Samsung. I resented the propaganda anyway and returned it

The Hisense A6 series adds more picture quality enhancements and an operating system upgrade for the perfect 4K fit for consumers looking for options and affordability. Adding FilmMaker Mode reproduces movie content the way the director originally intended and adding Game Mode Plus with variable refresh rate at 4K 60Hz and auto low latency mode keeps the A6 series at pace with next generation game consoles. The A6 series also maintains DTS Virtual:X audio technology and Chromecast built in for fuller audio and video casting capabilities. These advancements are available in all sizes and position the A6 series as the ~go to~ Hisense television for the perfect 4K fit..

Have not unboxed TV… weight spec not accurate
By Crochetti
WARNING: The weight for this model of HICENSE TV (and possibly all …) is not correct- on the specifications on Best Buy and on internet sites in general, the weight is listed at 54.7 lbs and/or 26KG… when tv was delivered I , my back told me this tv was not 57lbs… in fact box weight is 81lbs, TV must be around 76lbs - I have to believe an incorrect conversion factor was used (kg to lbs…) , and filtered down to many sites… I will now need to cancel an order for a wall mount, and if I decide to keep TV, order a more weight appropriate wall mount….love Hicense products but I consider this a serious gaff….

Montion rate lies
By jtmc713
Before you purchase this tv, if refresh rate is of any concern to you, do not purchase tv’s that claim anything about “motion rate.” The refresh rate is always 60hz on these tv’s.

You are wrong...
November 25, 2022
This TV has a native refresh of 120Hz. The M550 line is 120HZ. The C350 line, on the other hand, is 60 Hz. So, no matter what you are viewing on the screen, it is in 120Hz.

Great by itself or with simple soundbar
By AajMN
TV itself is great. I am having issues with the ARC connection and our Dennon AVR. Ended up having to use a standalone fire stick plugged into the AVR to get a consistent sound. Seems fine with a soundbar but any sort of surround sound system was a pain.

With even more capacity, this top load agitator washer fits more in every single load to help you check laundry off your list. LG~s innovative 4-way agitator moves clothes left and right, up and down, combining with TurboDrum technology to maximize your wash action~for a thorough clean that~s still kind to clothes. All with a streamlined control panel and silver knob and lid accents that up your style ante.

Very disappointed
By Dani
Very disappointed in this washer. The first load we washed came out looking almost the same as when it went in. The main issue is that it doesn't fill with enough water being that it's High Efficiency. Had to watch you tube videos to figure out hacks to get it to fill with enough water that all the clothes actually got wet. And then sometimes we get error codes which stops the whole process. It took me 4 hours to wash a load of bedding! Completely regret buying this machine.

and you'll stop the error codes. Let the machine work or call in a repairman as it is under warranty. Had our washer since May and the wife and I love it as clothes come out clean and fresh.

Nothing but issues/ Regret Buying this TCL TV

Do not buy this TV. I have had nothing but issues with this TV. Have been in contact with I rarely review items bad. I had to contact TCL numerous times. Tv flashes, resets on its own. Roku freezes all the time. No other tv in my house has these issues. Be aware! quality of the picture is very good but overall quality is not.

This TV does not have "Roku", it is a Google TV. If you have added a Roku, then that's where the Roku problem is.

Good deal up to 400 dollars.
By BocephusPiccadilly
Good picture quality. Was able to pick it up for 325 on sale. Built in fire tv is a two edged sword. The options to calibrate your tv are limited by the slow laggy fire tv os. Its refresh rate advertised at 120hz native....i dont believe. The 240hz refresh rate upscaled i havent experienced. Either through apps on the fire tv OS or through HDMai inputs. They maybe there but i dont really feel i have experinced it. I am going to do a professional hdtv calibration very soon but this is a steal at 325. And would be good deal at 400. But not much more. I still cant get a clesr answer on whether or not the hdmi are 2.1 compatible or hot. Xbox says no. Sound is downward firing so it will be slightly muffled if not mounted.

Yes, it is 120Hz...

The inputs are NOT 2.1. You CAN use xbox in 4k@60 and the TV converts to 120. It isn't complicated. Try resetting your set if it is "slow & laggy. I have 2 of these and neither is slow and laggy. These are the best kept secret in 4k TV's.

Do you have to have a smartphone or some Alexa thing to make this TV work? I just want a good old remote control.

No. But the remote has no buttons. You'll see, you get used to it quickly. My wife loves the remote.

Why when using VUDU it only plays as SD and not Ultra HD? All move purchased are Ultra HD but only give SD option to play.

VUDU is unavailable on Fire TV sans sideloading. If you sideload an app that isn't officially supported, you get what you get, and that won't be the full feature set the app has to offer. Not the TV's fault.

Toshiba website lists 75m550ku as a LCD panel, not LED. Best buy lists it as an LED. Is the 75 inch LCD or LED?

Always go by the manufacturer's description. Best Buy descriptions usually leave a lot to be desired in fact and content.

QUESTION FOR TOSHIBA: Is this TV eventually going to support 120hz over the HDMI cables with a future form of firmware update? And does this TV have VRR? I'm asking in order to find out how compatible the TV is with the Xbox Series X.

Series X works well. Just have to output in 60Hz and let the TV do the conversion. Lag time is minimal at most.

Why do the specifications of this TV say it is "120hz" for the "refresh rate" when none of the HDMI ports are compatible with a signal of 120hz?

The screen is native 120Hz, meaning EVERYTHING you see displayed is at 120Hz. The inputs do not accept 120HZ in, only 60Hz. The TV itself does the conversion to 120Hz, so it is done in the TV, not the source.
