RCA 42 Inch FHD TV, DVB-T2-C-S2 Dolby Audio Freeview 1080P Television, Full HD HDMI SCART USB Monitor for PS5 Xbox, Large Screen TV for Living Room

I was reluctant to spend a lot of money on a new TV because I spend so little time watching it, but I also wanted something that wouldn't be a constant irritant because of poor sound or picture quality. I didn't need a smart TV because I use a Roku, so my options were limited. I took a chance and ordered this one, and I haven't looked back. I've had it for about two weeks now, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how pleased I am with it.I'm not a technical person so I can't comment on anything highbrow, but for my purposes it's perfect. The set up was quick and easy, and so far it's working just as it should. If I was going to be picky about anything, I'd say I wish the volume control on the remote was a bit higher up. The remote is very tall, and when you're using the volume button which is very low down, the remote feels unbalanced in your hand. Other than that, it's fine. The two HDMI sockets are used for my DVD player and the Roku, and the signal from those is good.All in all, a lucky find at under £200.

This is NOT I repeat NOT a smart TV. So if it comes up in your search as a smart TV. Don’t buy it!

The TV is not smart

Ordered to upgrade my dad's old 32" Sony. At the price point it was worth a try, even though some reviews were negative.I was suitably impressed with this TV enough for me to order one to replace the one I have, as this comes with a DVB T2 tuner (mine is a DVB T) which means that it has Freeview HD channels.Fingers crossed mine will be just as good.Update: mine was delivered super fast and even on Bank Holiday Monday.I have managed to watch some football on the HD ITV channel, and the 60hz kept up with it well. Great HD picture and sound is decent.I have also connected an old Wii using the provided cables in the box. It works.There is a scart connect, which I have attached my old VCR to. It works.I have used the usb to power my Now TV stick. It works.I have used a USB stick to record live TV. It works. However, there are absolutely zero instructions for using this function so it is very much up to the user to work out. The usual recording via EPG is there, which means that on a TV / Freeview box with a single DVB tuner, if you are watching something at the time it will switch to the programme you have set to record when the time comes.I have zero idea how to delete anything from the usb using the TV either: probably have to take it out and connect it to a computer and do it that way...As with the first TV, when the box came it was so light I wondered if there was even a TV inside. The TV is so lightweight that I would have 100% confidence putting on a bracket on any of the walls in my house. Even a plaster board partition.At this price point I am very happy with the TV. Time will tell of long lasting quality.(Btw, I haven't tried the 3.5mm out yet, nor the optical out. Nor do I have 'cable TV' or a satellite dish, which this also has connections for...)In case anyone is wondering after all of the above, I have docked a star for a few reasons:1, is that it 'only' has 2 X HDMI when my preference would be for 3.2, there is only 1 USB socket, so there has to be a choice between making it a smart TV with Now/Firestick/Roku etc (for USB to power) or as a stick Freeview recorder.3, the remote has to be pointed almost exactly in a straight line to the sensor on the TV for it to register. It is supper fast when it does, and is something that I will get used to, but it is still worth mentioning.Edit. Nearly a whole year on and all of the above still holds.Still excellent picture quality for the price point and cannot fault it, other than the points mentioned above.I considered getting another, smaller one for the bedroom, but my old supermarket TV is still going strong so these will have to stay in My List for the day I need it.

Very good quality and great value for money. Sufficiently smart for our needs, we already use a Freesat box & Amazon Fire Box coupled to the HDMI & a VHS recorder & DVD player via the SCART socket. Don't want a so-called smart TV connected to the internet so that all and sundry can gather information on what we watch and when. The tech companies gather enough information as it is without volunteering more.The colours are vibrant and compared to our old plasma, the detail is tremendous, you can see all the wrinkles and count the stubble on people's faces. Spooky.On the whole a great improvement for not a lot of money.Light as a feather which meant installing this was less strenuous and we were able to mount it ourselves, requiring assistance from family to remove the old plasma TV. It is easily far better than the plasma using less energy and directly comparable because both screen sizes are the same. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a no frills telly that can be coupled with SCART & HDMI it also has:- USB, Satellite and coaxial inputs as well as both flavours of Audio Visual RCA connectors and a 3.5mm "stereo out" jack. Very pleased with this purchase, it's intuitive to use for anyone.
