Review on Sceptre Class FHD 1080P X405BV FSR by Nikith Brewster

Update: In less than 4 months of use, a few hours a week, my TV died. It started with pops and crackles in the sound, then the screen went black intermittently for a few moments, the screen and sound broke down even more, and now (2 days after the crackling) the TV doesn't even show the scepter logo or any image when I try to turn it on. ----- The appearance of the TV is of good quality and looks good, but I had a number of problems with this device. First, this TV has trouble turning on while it's running. Connect to my streaming device (Roku Premiere+). When Roku is running and the TV is turned off and on again, a bunch of noise appears on the screen and the TV cannot connect to Roku properly. Every time I turn on the TV, I have to restart Roku. (I tried to fix this by disabling Roku's splash screen and disabling Roku's auto-detection resolution, but that didn't help with my problem). Secondly, the sound coming out of this TV's headphone jack fluctuates constantly. I have a tv hooked up to a basic amp and some bookshelf speakers (as the speaker on the tv is pretty poor) but when I go out to listen to music the constant muting is noticeable. For example, if a song has a light bass intro followed by heavy bass sounds, the overall volume will drop significantly once the bass kicks in. It doesn't seem to feature too prominently in films and television. Overall this is disappointing to me as these issues make the TV a poor music player as well as an annoying media player that requires you to restart Roku every time.
