For all its features, this product does lack USB 3.0, DVI, and VGA support, which makes sense as most displays these days are purely HDMI. The setup includes the remote (TM-1240A), batteries, and a stand. On its back, there are provisions for wall mounting as well as for ventilation.

The lack of 120 Hz is somewhat of a downer as well for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X owners as it only supports 60 Hz. The remote also lacks voice commands as it is a basic one. But for owners on a budget who want a simple 4K television, this certainly checks all the boxes.

The LED panel is vibrant and HDR helps enhance the image too. It is a no-fuss display that should make the average owner happy.

In addition to this, it has a 75-inch display, which is an absolute steal at less than $600. The ongoing deal on Best Buy should last a while, so be sure to avail the offer while it lasts.

With the upcoming Black Friday sale, we can expect to see even bigger and better discounts on varied products.
