Basically it gives access to hundreds of games for a $20 price. It's cool. But over an entire year it's $220. So it's expensive. Good games but high price over a year.

Pretty basic easy to use 1080p monitor. You can see shaffing, like letters and lines you see not straight lines but kind of not straight where it goes -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_--_-__--__--__. It shows offward lines so it's not great, but it's good for basic use anyway.

Good but slow at video creation
on March 10, 2024
Posted by: Dave
Verified Purchase:Yes
No problems at all as a basic user. Although I must say that video apps are kind of slow to use on it. I used microsoft clipchamp to do some video and edit it and it was about a 15 minute video and it took clipchamp about 10 minutes to make the final MP4 file. But if you don't use video creation software or gaming, than it's a great computer.

Great monitor. Everything is good about this. However the one thing I don't like is that the base position is 5 degrees forward which looks kinda crappy. So if you buy it your gonna have to push it back a little so it's level the floor.

GREAT affordable TV for Xbox One X 4K gaming!
By Eric
I went in on Black Friday to purchase this TV for 249.99 along with an Xbox One X. I was debating whether or not to purchase this one or the Samsung 43" UHD 4K which was going for 299.99. When I asked the sales rep what he recommended he said "Samsung, you will hate the TCL its very low quality".
I compared the two and found that both are extremely similar in specs. The reason that I purchased the TCL over the Samsung is that this TV offers Dolby Digital which enhances the audio and picture quality for more vibrant and accurate colors.
Differences I noticed:
-TCL 5 Series offers Dolby Digital / Samsung UHD does not.
-TCL 5 Series HDR10 / Samsung UHD HDR10+
-TCL 5 Series 8W speakers / Samsung UHD 10W speakers.
-TCL 5 Series Dual-core processor / Samsung 4K UHD processing chip.
For a $50 dollar difference I didn't mind a slightly lower sound as I have this TV in my bedroom. I am not sure if the Samsung processing chip is better that the dual-core processor in the TCL, but I haven't noticed any lag or blur when playing games or watching video content.
My 4K games from my Xbox look absolutely amazing on this TV. While I'm sure that there are far more superior TVs on the market, I am truly impressed by the detail and picture quality that this has been providing for the price I paid.
**Just note that if you do purchase this TV for use on your Xbox One X, you will need to set the HDMI mode to 2.0 in the Settings on the TV. I was wondering why my Xbox was saying my TV wasn't compatible with several features, but once I changed the HDMI mode I had full compatibility.
Even more great things
January 10, 2020
I found the TCL 43S525 has better contrast, color ratio, and Dolby Vision. Dolby Vision is HDR12. Right now Amazon video and some other services support HDR12 dolby vision. Plus that the Samsung has edge lit meaning the edges of the TV have backlight. The TCL has direct lit meaning full back of TV lighting. Overall the TCL is better in those 4 details. Better contrast, better color, has dolby vision and has direct back light for better black levels. I studied this at rtings

Love every single thing about it!
By StimpJ
Every single thing about this TCL 43S525 tv is awesome. Picture quality for the price is beyond superb. Audio seems good even though I don't really turn the built in speakers up very loud. Easy setup right from the get go with simple to figure out settings. As well as ease of use of the Roku UI and other apps which is a huge bonus if you don't want to deal with a lot of nonsense. The remote is nothing particularly special (having the volume controls on the side is slightly annoying) but still it does the job fine. Honestly I can't find much at all that I don't like about this tv. The 43" inch is perfect for my bedroom setup. The screen looks seriously huge and I'm glad I didn't go for the bigger 55" inch one which would have been overkill.
The tv was flawless out of the box (bought in store at local Best buy) with no damages and everything is working perfectly. I've only had the tv for a few days so I can't attest much to the longevity value, but for the moment I couldn't be any happier about my purchase. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for the best tv to buy in this price range.
Got back the wrong TV to review
January 12, 2020
In reviews like rtings the TCL got the 2nd best contrast, but it got the best color gamut, the best color accuracy, and the color uniformity. It's also the best at HDR gaming and HDR movies. It has direct back lit lights for the best black uniformity as well. Overall in tests it reaches the highest number of wins in categories. Setting up is super easy, it guides you through it all. Dolby Vision aka HDR12, HDR10, contrast, color! Great for video gaming!

Fast and great PC!
By Dave
Camera built in and it's really fast. No slow downs with SSD. No trouble at all so far. It's working like a charm. Windows start menu works fast, had some trouble with the internet, but little did I know I connect with my network and password it goes fast. I tried just straight ethernet and it was slow. It is going faster with secure password protection. I also love the new 20H2 Windows 10 update. Opening control panel to settings to file explorer, opening browsers, changing wallpaper background, it's all fast and easy to do.
About internet
January 10, 2021
I hooked it straight through ethernet cord and it was super slow internet. But than I found my network name and password in the right down corner of the taskbar and it goes way faster now.

I love this computer! Everything has worked flawlessly. I bought this on the flash sale for $2800 dollars! Such a great purchase. I will upgrade the ram at later date but for now it’s fine. I use this computer strictly for gaming and the 3080ti is awesome. I’ve had very stable frame rates and the gpu temps haven’t gone above 75 Celsius! If your looking at this computer it’s great value for what you get. Also the case looks better in person! Will post some pictures. What you see is what you get!

I bought a cyberpowerpc from microsoft and never got any display on monitor. I don't want that to happen again. Did you get display of Windows up right away after plugging the PC in and turning it on? Because I'm not a tech guy. I want it to just work right out of the box, plug it in.

STAY AWAY
By Ryan
I want to preface that I was given all the help possible from Best Buy and I really appreciate the effort given from the employees at my location, but this PC was a disaster. First time I ordered this PC everything looked great, the system looked clean, flashy, nice gpu, parts all looked correct and in solid fashion. Then once I downloaded my games everything went downhill... All of my games downloaded perfectly fine and were running smoothly and looking great, then the games kept freezing and shutting off. In an effort to resolve the problem I bought 16gbs of ram and swapped them out, which ended up making no difference at all. I ended up returning the system and we ordered a new one hoping that it was a rare case and the system was just faulty. This is where the second problem occurred. This time when I picked up the PC and brought it home, I opened a box with a bigger mess than before. The PC now had a dent in the top right corner, several plastic screws were broken within the system, the power cord wasn't even provided, and when I used another power cord I had laying around my office and plugged it in, the rgb on the fans didn't even work. I was very disappointed with this product and would not advise anyone to buy from cyberpower. I even tried to call the cyberpower tech support and was on hold for an hour just for them to tell me that I had to return the PC again. Bad experience overall.
I recomend
March 31, 2022
I've dealt with PCs since 2005. Windows is the major problem. Doesn't matter if you buy CyberPower, iBuyPower, HP, Dell, Alienware, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, anyone else. Windows 10 code is leaked. Windows has given me errors for directx, errors on whatever, BSOD, BlackSOD, freezes, crashes, random restarts. After 18 years of using Windows PCs I'm done with them once and for all. Microsoft using the same code structure since the beginning of Windows 95 is just horrible. It's starting to show how bad x86, x64 Windows code structure is. Switch to Mac and finally you'll have a computer without all these errors and crashes. As a gamer I recommend sticking with consoles.

Do not buy from ibuypower. Nothing but problems!
By EDX1987
I bought this less than 20 days ago and pretty much the whole time it has frozen on me daily. On top of this, it takes such a long time to get to from power on to desktop, despite having an NVME SSD, compared to my 8 year old laptop that takes roughly 12 seconds. This thing is unacceptable, if you're going to buy a prebuilt, buy from a different company, seriously.

Amazing

I love this controller i use it all the time. Outside the color the software was confusing but once i realized i switch it to advance mode to use the software it was easygoing
Yes took time for me too
June 17, 2023
When you turn it to advance you can choose from one of the profiles created. If you want to make your own profile you will have to replace one of the original 4. I created my own FPS style, it's basically the same as there FPS style, but I disabled the back buttons. You can by making your custom profile with NA for the back buttons and anything else. You have to use Windows to use the software of course for it that it says to download. It's awesome.

What HDMI cable comes with the monitor

I can confirm as I have boughten this monitor in the past. It comes with HDMI 2.1 wich fully supports 4K 2160p. It will also support 120 FPS in the PS5 and Xbox Series X. However if you want the 144 Hz top FPS than you will have to use the included displayport with a gaming PC.

I’m getting a ps5 and wanted to get my first monitor. I don’t care about 4k really I just want to make sure I’ll get 120 frames in games like call of duty. Does it have VRR I heard that’s a must? Is it really? Should I get the gp950-p for $300 more?

Well first off the PS5 is 1440p capable now. The LG monitor is one of the best in the business of gaming monitors. It goes to 144 Hz so it will support the 120 Hz of the PS5 easily. Note you may need to go into monitor settings to enable the Hz FPS high modes. But overall if you want to use it with PS5 it seems easy. 1440p with 120 Hz. No idea if will support VRR though.

What are the best settings for Xbox Series S?

With regular TVs it's gonna be 1080p with 120 Hz. With a monitor it's gonna be 1440p with 120 Hz.

With the latest PCIe Gen4 interface, the GAMMIX S70 BLADE will help you dominate the competition with sequential read/write performance of up to 7400/6800/MB per second. That's up to two times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs! For ease of use, it's backward compatible with PCIe 3.0. (When paired with PCie 3.0 port, max R/W will be limited to 3400/3000MB/s).
 

Will this work as an EXTERNAL drive IN AN M2 ENCLOSURE for additional storage for PS5 playing PS4/PS5 games straight from it?

It won't as Sony requires the NVME M2 SSD to be internal. Only external HDDs can be external.

The Insignia 3.3' USB-C to USB Charge-and-Sync Cable lets you power and transfer files from smartphones, tablets and other devices with a USB-C connection. Sync photos, music, and other data quickly with 10 Gpbs SuperSpeed+ technology. A standard USB connector connects easily to most power adapters.
 

I would like to transfer files from an old desktop that is no longer operating to a new laptop. How do I do it? will a file transfer cable do it? Which one, and how does it work?

That depends if your old desktop has USB 3 inputs or not. USB 3 inputs are simply labeled by the blue colored USB input on the desktop. If you do not have any blue colored inputs on your desktop than this will not work for you. If you do however this will transfer documents to pictures to music files to videos over the USB 3 to USB C interface of this cable.

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro (USB-A) and want to plug in an external G-RAID hard drive (USB-C) to work from and transfer files to/from the laptop's SSD drive. Since my laptop is older, I assume it's USB 2 not 3.0, so will this cable work?

It will not work. USB 3 and later require USB 3 port. USB 3 will not work with USB 2 input. So I would say buy a new laptop or desktop.

Please forgive my ignorance - I'm not as tech-savvy as most of you; but since this computer does not come with a DVD drive, is it possible to use an external DVD drive to upload software and to watch DVDs? Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes. It's very easy, hook up an external DVD player or even blu-ray player to any of the USB 3.0 on the front or back of this PC. It will work. If it doesn't come up right away, open file explorer and usually it will be in the side to access it.
