My previous TV, a flat-screen gifted to me in 2011, already ready to go, died last week. All of my adult life I have made do with hand-me-down or used TVs/monitors.

My dead TV was set up in my office so I could watch TV while working on the computer. I fed the TV with a laptop, via HDMI. I had previously poured a giant glass of ice-water on the laptop so the screen doesn't work very well, which made it perfect for feeding the TV.

I have large VOD libraries on both Prime Video and Vudu, so when looking at the Smart TV options, access to Vudu is important to me. So I originally decided against this TV because it's an Amazon Fire TV, and my Fire Tablet, (that I use to watch TV/movies in bed), doesn't allow me to put Vudu on it.

But when looking at all of the options, this one was the right size, and it does have HDMI inputs, so I could still feed it with my broken laptop, so it was the obvious choice, with the great sale price.

I searched the apps and found that Vudu was an option. I also downloaded Peacock, Paramount+, Movies Anywhere, Tubi, Plex, Crackle, MSNBC, The CW, ABC, NBC, CBS, and YouTube. Signing into to each of them on my computer and using codes worked really well. So the only thing I had to actually type my password into using the remote was my Wifi. It all works great, and switching to the HDMI input is easy, if I ever want or need to do that. Like if I ever want to watch something I only have on DVD or Blu Ray.

I will add Disney+, Hulu and Netflix when the WGA writer's strike is over and I resubscribe to them.

I don't know if my previous TV was HD, but when I've visited my parents when they've played Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and other things in HD on their HD TV and it has all looked gross. The Battle of Helms Deep was a bunch of amorphous clay blobs, and the Death Star was a bunch of dudes in bad costumes hanging out. I don't know if that was the motion smoothing thing that Tom Cruise was mad about a few years back, Either way, I've seen none of that gross stuff.

I've watch a little of the new Children of the Corn, several episodes of Stargate Atlantis, a little of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull and Jurassic Park, and it all looks good. If I look closely I can see what I'm guessing is filmgrain, but the picture is clear.

I recently watched an episode of Snoops (1999) that was uploaded to YouTube from probably VHS. There's a brief scene that features Dick Miller. I posted a screenshot to Twitter, but anyone who looked at that pic has to more or less take my word for it that it is indeed Dick Miller. But on this TV I could make guesses about the shade of lipstick worn by Teyla Emmagan, if I knew anything about lipstick.

This is all to let you know my level of knowledge so you can judge how my level of happiness would measure up to your level of happiness.

My only other observation in the few hours I've had this, is that the TV stands are at the outer edges of the TV. My previous TV had a big center stand, when meant I could perch it fairly near the edge of the table next to my desk, at a 45 degree angle (ish). So with the stands at the edges, I've had to push the TV farther back, and put sturdy things under the stands to give the TV better purchase on the table. Which is to say, you really need enough table under the entire TV to support it.

I saw a review that said their TV didn't come with the screws for the stands. Mine did. They were in a separate small bad, the same way the remote batteries were in a separate bag.

So far the TV seems absolutely great.

So this is my third purchase of one of these Insignia T.V.s. I purchased a large 40 something inch one for my office board room; a smaller one for my guest bedroom and now, a 32" one to replace my zapped T.V. in my bedroom. These are very easy to setup and they have great color depth and picture quality. I like how they seamlessly integrate into my Amazon Echo ecosystem with minimal fuss. I also like the simple remote that has built in buttons for common streaming services. These T.V.s also have a lot of extra ports for plugging in sound bars, back lights and other common accessories. The ports are conveniently located on the side so that you don't need to become a contortionist to finagle cords into the plugs. Great value for the money! I highly recommend!

Love my TV and it's features except, except, except for one annoying aspect. I live in an area with somewhat spotty antenna reception, which is what I use 100%. If a channel signal goes weak for more than just a few seconds the TV goes totally blank and will not turn back on. I have to unplug and go thru sign in all over. UGH!!!! Please download a fix the next time I go online to Netflix (the only hot spot online service I use).

Great deal for a great TV! Thought it was too good to be tried but it is a great TV for a great price!

Like I was able to download my favorite apps to TV, and with the additional apps was a plus. Easy to navigate with remote, Picture quality is sharp, excellent all around for the money.
