The TV receives mixed feedback: many buyers praise its value for money and quick delivery, but a significant number report missing accessories like the remote, batteries, and power cord, as well as physical damage such as bent screens or red marks. Some users note it appears refurbished, though this doesn't always affect functionality. A few complaints mention the remote not matching the advertised voice control or the TV not being true 4K.
