I've had this for two months. Picture quality varies based on input. Watching a DVD or Blu-ray through my PS4 provides the best picture quality. Streaming through the tv itself is good, but has it's quality issues. The biggest issue I see with picture quality is, facial quality/skin color is bad. Hard for me to describe exactly, but it's not a normal skin tone, it's like pixelated layered regions, and the color is chromatic. Not all skin is like this, just a majority.
Sound is pretty good. You'll notice an almost surround effect (depending on where you place your panel)
The biggest drawback is the stupid power saving program. I've tried everything in the menu, changed screen saver settings and anything I could try. If you leave a streaming movie on pause, or at the main menu...the screen saver never activates...the panel just turns off after a few minutes. Doesn't give you enough time on pause to do anything...the panel just powers down and you have to go back through your app to start your movie again. It's a real pain! With that said, I have not noticed this issue while leaving the PS4 on or a movie paused through the PS4. Screen saver still doesn't activate, but it doesn't power down either.
If they would've been in stock, I would've spent a little bit more and got a Sony

Based on the best-selling book, BECAUSE OF WINN-Dixie is the heartwarming tale of a young girl (Anna Sophia Robb) whose life is changed by a scruffy, fun-loving pooch she names Winn-Dixie. The special bond between them works magic on her reserved dad (Jeff Daniels) and the eccentric townspeople they meet during one unforgettable summer.

DO NOT PURCHASE
April 14, 2022
This is an update. Spend more money and get a Sony or Samsung or other brand/type. I Will NEVER purchase a FireTV again. This thing kicks you out of programs ALL the time (right in the middle of a streaming movie it just goes to the home screen), and the sound has taken a dump. I have to have it up to around level 26-38 to hear anything. Let me clarify, a high volume level is required for streaming (though a movie app), however, watching a movie through my PS4 it works just fine, level 12-14 is plenty. I had a Roku device on 2 other panels, never had a problem with those. I was in a bind and this was a less expensive purchase (just looking for a 55") to get me by for a few months. I should've purchased a 55" Sony.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e delivers increased productivity with fast speeds and custom mobile shortcuts. It includes the optional HP+ Smart Printing System that keeps itself up to date, secure, and ready to print from virtually anywhere at any time. Optional HP+ system requires an HP account, internet connection, and use of only Original HP Ink for the life of the printer.
 

Does this unit (HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e) scan 2-sidded? Or only one side at a time? I don't see where it says.

Experience immersive gaming with this 32-inch Samsung 1000R curved FHD monitor. AMD FreeSync technology eliminates screen tearing for smooth on-screen action, while the flicker-free design protects your eyes in the heat of battle. This Samsung 1000R curved FHD monitor features a compact design with a borderless display for a refined, modern look.
 

Is a Curved screen or Flat Screen better for viewing?

Curved monitors are best suited for close viewing applications that are straight on, directly in front of the middle of the screen

The 'Curve" allows the sides of the image to wrap around your visual range, creating a more natural view

Flat monitors work better if you need to view the monitor from an off axis angle

I prefer curved monitors for computer and gaming application

Will this work with Spectrum, I did not locate it on the approved list? https://www.spectrum.net/support/internet/compliant-modems-spectrum-network/

It does. This has the satellite, so the model number is different. But, the model of the modem/router (CBR750) is on spectrums list of approved units. I've had ours for several months, working great
