I purchased this TV to use in a room that I'm renting. It has great image quality and the 4K images are awesome. My only complaint is that the OTA channels do not always remain blocked when I add them to the skip channel list.

I would recommend this to a friend!

I used this between two major cities, each ~40 miles away, and was able to pull in all of the major stations. I placed the antenna inside the house up near the top of a first floor window. I had to rotate it ~180 degrees to get the other city when I wanted to change options.

I would recommend this to a friend!

I have Samsung phones and TVs and am able to stream several things to the TV over the WiFi network. I recently purchased a Vizio TV that did not support this feature and was looking for a similar solution. Chromecast filled the bill and also supports streaming from apps.

How fast Internet Speed do i need for this tv?

I live in a rural area and only can get 3mbs of speed. I have an Amazon box that seems to work ok but was wondering if my speed is fast enough for this tv.

Best Answer

The TV supports 4k apps but you will need at least 25mbs to view them. If you want to watch Netflix at 3mbs I suggest going into your Netflix.com account and changing the viewing settings to a lower bandwidth. You can google how to do this - or simply call Netflix. If streaming is working for you now, nothing will change in quality or speed by using this TV or something else.

Input Lag/Responce Time

Just wondering what the input lag or Responce time is for this tv. If i got this tv, i would use it with my game consoles and need to know.

Thanks

I use it with my Xbox One and turn on the TV option to reduce lag. I have not noticed any issues and am happy with the experience.
