5.0 out of 5 stars High priced quality in all aspects, April 2, 2009

Even in Costco I cannot find any 46" full HDTV for less than $[...]. Mine arrived in 6 days. After buying two HDMI cables, one for my cable box and one for my DVD player, it was ready to play. If you have a home theater system I would assume you already have the optical cable for the DVD player as well. This set is no longer available on Costco online. I did not know anything about Sceptre. I read dozens of the reviews they had. Without the reviews the price made me skeptical about this brand. The reviews were terrific. Since the set is not available there, I came here to Amazon where I've had nothing but great experiences buying stuff. For those like myself, that don't want to waste their time and money on turkeys, I felt an obligation to help, whomever. I love this set. The picture is spectacular. There are lots of adjustments for sound and picture. The PIP is not only sizable in that little extra screen you can move around, it will expand your PIP to approximately 21" side by side with your other picture! Then you can switch the audio. For a sports fanatic like me, well...wow! This set is better, yes better than I expected. For a price so much lower than the Vizio's, Sharp's, Panasonic's, and Sony's, this set is a SLAM DUNK!

I'm back. I've owned this set for 11 months as of this writing. I still love it. FYI: My HD signal is from high speed cable (so I have no opinion on satellite quality). My DVD movies have always played great. My son gave me a blue-ray player for Xmas and the blue-ray picture is as astonishingly sharp as one should expect. I noticed the negative review was not this exact model. Don't understand complaints about contrast or anything else concerning the picture. There are four picture modes, vivid, mild, and standard which are pre-sets with color and contrast etc locked in. The one you'll use 99% of the time is "custom". You can adjust no less than 14 different picture components, from the basics of color, brightness, contrast, hue etc. to fine-tuning adjustments for color temperature (3) and the amount of back-lighting. There is no way you can't adjust this picture to any preference! The only negative (I don't think it's a negative for this price) but the native TV speakers are mediocre at best. I would strongly recommend having your own home theater sound system and this is not even an issue.

My mother bought a Sceptre TV a while back, and has since had trouble with it. The color scheme will randomly change to an un-viewable dark green color, and the volume is non-existent or blaring loud. In contacting the company, they made us go through some back-end menu commands to restore the picture and sound; no apology or offer to resolve the actual issue. This continues to happen every few weeks for her.
Some time later, I found this model (in a very nice faux wood finish). After hooking up the TV, vertical lines ran across the screen on all inputs. After contacting the company through numerous e-mails over the course of weeks, they offered to fix the issue. They kept the TV for about 4 weeks, and when it was returned, the issue was worse than it was before. I tried to contact them again, and again I was met with slow response. I had to send them photos/video of the issue on two occasions because they apparently forgot about me. After keeping my TV for a few more weeks, I had to keep pestering them via e-mail until I got a response. They offered to replace the TV (though, not with the exact model), and that was about two weeks ago. Still haven't received anything. At this point, they have had the TV as long as I have.

Terrible product, terrible customer service. You're better off going with anybody but Sceptre.

Purchased this TV one year ago and picture stopped being displayed all of a sudden. Returned it through Sceptre and received a new TV and there was no picture displayed after plugging it in for the first time. Obviously, this is a poor product.
