Our verdict

A simple full HD set for a spare room or a screen fed by a streaming stick. There are no smart apps or Wi-Fi inside, so streaming needs an external device.

Overview

A student or guest room host gets a plain full HD LED television with an edge-lit panel and an infrared remote. The set stands on its included stand or mounts to a wall through the standard VESA pattern on its back.

A clean picture and light build make it easy to place on a dresser or a wall, with nothing to sign into. With few HDMI inputs, a streaming stick and a game console fill them right away.

Who it's for

Dorm rooms, guest bedrooms and garage workshops benefit from a light, simple set paired with a streaming stick or cable box. Viewers wanting apps on the TV itself or inputs for several devices should look at a smart model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Full HD resolution
  • Standard VESA pattern for wall mounting
  • Low power draw
  • Thin edge-lit LED panel
Cons
  • No smart apps or Wi-Fi
  • Only two HDMI inputs
  • Standard refresh rate for fast sports
  • No audio output port listed

Performance notes

Picture sharpness comes from the full HD panel at a modest screen size, so pixels look fine at normal viewing distance. Motion handling relies on the standard refresh rate with Clear Motion Rate processing, which suits news and shows more than fast games. Sound comes from the built-in speakers.
