This is my first smart TV, and I'm pretty happy with it after the first couple days. Netflix, Prime, some free live tv options. Very happy that I can stream Audible and Amazon music through it. I don't subscribe to many other services, so I'm not using a lot of the tv's features. There's a ton on here for people who want it.
Very easy set-up. The hardest part was finding a long enough Phillips screwdriver to put the feet on. After
BUY NOWthat, connect to the router, put in the Amazon and Netflix passwords, and you're good to go.
Very fast. No lag loading programs the way I sometimes had with Amazon Video on the Wii.
The navigation is more cluttered than I'd prefer but not too bad. Mildly annoying that the home screen navigation shows me lots of services and content that I do not want to see. Wish I could customize it to hide the stuff that I'm not gonna buy. But I expected Amazon to advertise their content and channels and whatnot. And the remote has shortcut buttons for Prime, Netflix, HBO, etc.
I do wish the software had better search features. I don't find a box to type in search terms but must use the Alexa remote. And Alexa doesn't know what PBS is? Doesn't know what BBC is? So I can't browse big categories like PBS the way I do online but have to give a specific search phrase. "Civil rights documentary" came up with a ton of results, so the voice remote works well if I'm specific enough.
Sound quality seems to have too much treble in it and is not loud enough, even in a small room. For example, I can hear my audiobooks better on my Kindle Fire than I hear them on this TV. I have to turn the TV up a bit. But I am 50 now and my hearing is fading. I'll try to catch a younger person and make them listen to it, to find out if it's the tv or my ears. It does come with an audio jack, so I may add some inexpensive speakers. Needs more bass in the mix for us old guys?
Overall, for $120, this is a very nice, smaller tv with all the apps and features I was looking for.
