• Cheap price point and performance for a 43 inch HDTV
• Easy to setup and user friendly interface

Cons:

• Stand feels cheap and not sturdy enough
• Sluggish webOS

Verdict

This is a good performing HDTV, it may just have 1080p resolution but it performs well on color production and picture quality. It has a smart feature that is very easy to use but may lag at times maybe because of a slower processor speed and I hope this will be fixable in future firmware updates. I do not recommend using the included stand because it feels cheap and lightweight, better hang this HDTV instead. Overall this HDTV is a good buy for the size and the resolution.
