    They are working on larger sizes they said, its just a matter of getting the more common sizing perfect first than moving on to the less common. They arent sourcing blanks from anyone else anymore, they are having their own made so its just a matter of time now.

    Rootbear75 got a reaction from Radium_Angel in What’s the BEST TV Under $400?   
    In my opinion, comparing the "software" set of the Sceptre to the other TVs seems ingenuous to the Sceptre itself.
    You cannot compare a simple OSD to a full Smart TV OS.
     
    The fact that it completely lacked the features was the main selling point of the TV.  I don't want to deal with software when I have an external Roku Ultra that I'll be using as my primary streaming device.  Dumb TVs are hard to come by, and I couldn't find any others below the $1000 price point (that were over 40"), so the Sceptre was really my only choice.

    A huge plus about the Sceptre, is that my Roku Ultra can control it with it's remote (Audio, On/Off, Source, etc) with that HDMI Device control, and that my Roku Remote has an Infrared emitter. So i rarely touch my TV remote as well. I haven't seen that with other Smart TVs with a separate streaming Device.

    I have a 55" TCL Roku TV in my living room, and it's constantly plagued me with audio level issues, and no, it's not related to the soundbar I have below it. Sometimes I'll be streaming Hulu or Amazon Prime and have the volume set at 100, but I can barely hear anything. TCL has acknowledge this as a bug when I've contacted them, and said when they fix it they'll provide a software update, and it's been over a year since that has been said.

    Samsung? Well I hate their OS to be fully frank. The fact that they have in-OS advertisements drives me up the wall. No TV should have baked in advertisements like that. (/me points to all of the $2500 nice samsung TVs with Ads) While the Roku has some ads, they're on the side of the home menu, and I don't have to deal with scrolling past it to get to the content I want.

    I would love to see a review of Dumb TVs.  Because sometimes, you don't want to deal with smart TV bulls***.
