Overall Impression
The TV delivers a satisfactory viewing experience primarily due to its large screen and decent picture quality, but it suffers from significant connectivity and performance issues.

• Limited information available online regarding the specific model (2024 revision)

Overall Impression:
Overall, this TV serves as a solid option for those looking for a simple, functional display without the complications of typical smart TVs. While it excels in picture quality and has a sleek design, the absence of certain audio outputs and traditional streaming apps may frustrate some users. If you're in the market for a "dumb" TV, this model is worth considering, though be prepared for some compromises regarding connectivity and features.
