Komodo by Sceptre 50" 4K UHD Ultra Slim LED TV 3840 x 2160 Memc 120, Machine Black

My mom's tv went out and when we went to buy a new one, found out they don't sell "dumb" tvs anymore. She is 85 years old and has dementia so a smart tv was out of the question. This tv arrived 3 days early and was in perfect condition. Set it up in less than 30 minutes. She is so happy and that's all that matters to me! It has a great picture and sound for the price. Very happy with the purchase.

I am both technically and mechanically challenged. I am nearly 90 years old and have been left behind in this generation. Even the simplest tasks require 3 to 10 times the normal amount of time that other people take. I wanted a Non-Smart TV because my apartment complex provides free cable TV service. And Smart TV's that I've tried did not seem compatible with cable service. At least, I was not able to set them up. I don't know technical terminology and what is written about specifications, etc. So, everything to me is like reading "GREEK" or some other language. This Spectre TV is unbelievably simple to setup and operate. For other technically challenged people, like myself, I am most pleased to recommend it. Go for it; you won't be sorry!

I'm giving it 4 stars for now since it was just set up. Pretty much as advertised here with one exception. It seems they just copied the description of the 55" model here. The 50" has three HDMI ports NOT 4 - if that makes a difference to anyone considering it. $ is more than I need so no big deal. My last Sony TV was still going but it's on the way out. It was over $2K twenty years ago. At 77, I'm not spending a lot of money on a TV, and I sure don't want a smart tv. I'm smart, my TV doesn't have to be (and I don't care to give hacks and gov't goons access to my living room.

My 12 year old VIZIO TV, while still in the prime of life and working fine, was only 1080 and I was craving a better experience when this cartwheeled across my field of vision. I got this on sale, a 4k TV for less than $200. It's a dumb TV - no apps, no internet, no nothing. I don't need, it, my TV is effectively a second monitor so I can watch youtube and Prime Video. Very quick and easy to set up, and the picture is crystal clear, vibrant and bright. Set up was a breeze and within a few minutes I had everything up, ready and set. Can't ask for anything more!

IT HAS SPOTS ON THE SCREEN,I bought the tv back in in feb and never took the plastic off the screen ,I notice spots on the screen so i thought it was spots on the plastic so .IA just took the plastic off the tv screen today May 13 2024 and notice the spots or in the screen its self. Its kind of hard to not notice it it look like someone spilled something on the screen. to bad I cant send it back

I have it connected to a miniPC. it seems my main options (that I care about) are either 2160p30hz or 1080p60hz. I chose 1080p60hz because I have it connected to a computer, and it just doesn't look right with the scaling at 2160p, and 30hz was annoying when moving the mouse around and such. 1080p60 looks much better for me, and I think I'd rather it. I don't watch 4K video anyway. I've only recently started getting into 1080p bluray, and I don't think I care to get a uhd bluray drive or player anytime soon, although theoretically 2160p30hz should be ok for watching uhd movies anyway, so if I really cared I'd just switch display modes or something.It's probably not the highest quality display, but I'm happy for the $200 I paid (price before tax. Never happy about tax, but that's not related).Not sure I'd pay a lot more for it though. I saw the price went up sometime after I bought it.

I am very sad to be writing this review as I really appreciate that the Sceptre brand is keeping dumb TVs alive, but I feel I have to. I ordered this TV and received one with dead pixels. They were very minor, single pixels near the screen edges that could not be seen from across my room, which is quite small. Still dead pixels are dead pixels and I requested to exchange for a new one which I was granted. I shipped the old one back leaving me without a TV for a while and received my new TV around a week later. This one had the same issue so I contacted Sceptre directly and was offered a discount. Great! The dead pixels were not too bad and so I was happy. A few months later though and I now have a splotch of dead pixels a quarter inch in diameter in the viewing area. This is now an issue for me and I am requesting a refund for the rest of my money.

Arrived in perfect condition. Works as advertised. Best price for a 50” 4k non smart tv I could find. Happy so far.
