Sceptre TV Reviews

I have had my 75 inch Sceptre tv for 9 years now and have never had a problem with it. For several years I ran it through a regular cable box but now I stream everything through my 4K fire stick and it works great.

Bought this tv about 2 or 3 years ago after not able to get replace parts for Samsung tv. Had the samsung for 12 years before having to replace it. Pricewise the brand is good but, had issues from day one. Tv would randomly turn off or change channels on me. Finally figure that out and it stopped. It was working this morning but on lunch break the screen was black and had audio. Checked the ports, cable, switch power I outlet nothing. Unplugged it to do a power cycle and now nothing. No audio, black screen, the power light comes and go.

I purchased my 65 inch Sceptre In July of 2018 and still works great, a lot of people complain that this tv is not loud enough but with mine I just turned off the equalizer in the sound settings and it sounds great, you can also set the equalizer however you want your sound.. The only thing wrong with this tv is that it is not a smart tv so you have to buy a Fire Stick or smart tv upgrader.

Good picture for an entry level tv but don't expect it to last long...this is my second one that didn't make it past two years...picture went out in both sets. I would add my receipt below for the tv and 2-year warranty I paid for, but I was never emailed either one from Walmart.com.

Purchased Sceptre tv 55 inch on November 2021. Worked fine for a while though sounds was not great. The screen went bad today 3/5/2024 and had to buy another one. Worst mistake. Save yourself a trouble. Stay away from this.

Picture was good, sound was bad. Added sound bar but didn’t clear it up. After just 2 years it took a crap and I will not buy that brand again. I have tvs that are 15 years old. So I bought a Vizio and now I’m happy

I bought my Sceptre 50 inch 4K UHD November 2020 and it still works great as if I bought today. The sound is good, I do have on occasion a hard time hearing what’s being said but only when I have my 2 or 3 Wind Machine Fans running. Otherwise I can hear everything great! I got my TV for $199.99 & I have to say that when I want to upgrade to a bigger 4K TV I’ll be buying another Sceptre TV. I guess I was one of the lucky ones.

This TV is the single worst purchase I've ever made.

The sound on the TV was horrible from the beginning then a couple months later the speakers blew and stopped working. I contacted Walmart who said I had to file a warranty claim with the company. I did and no response. I called and no one answered. So basically paid $300 for a TV that lasted 3 months.

In order to use this TV. I had to buy a TV stand because it is so long. Then I had to add a speaker so I could hear it. Then I had to buy a media player so the passport would play my movies and now I can't plug in my DVD player because they don't have ports. Then I called in to technical support and he hung up on me.

This TV was a great value and the picture was very clear. Unfortunately a little after a year and 1/2 the volume control started getting erratic. It happened off and on for a while. The volume would go from 0-100 by itself and back up and down. Eventually it just kept doing this every time, making the product useless. I contacted tech support only asking for help or advice on issue and all I received was a generic "sorry you're product only has a year warranty and therefore expired". No solutions or help was offered. Before you purchase please research volume issues. It seems to be a common issue, and you may end up with garbage, as I did, after a short period of time. As I stated, it was a great guy, with a great picture, but with no way to control the volume it is just another piece of trash.

Sceptre is really inexpensive and now I know why. All flat screens look great and it lasts just long enough to exceed the warranty. It did look great and now it's time for the scrapyard. I went through Sceptre Customer Service, did a Factory Reset twice and they agree the TV has internal problems. I have Asurion through my credit card and I have to load this 50" Dead TV into my car and find a repair shop and have them give me an estimate to repair it. Or pay a repair person to visit my home, which isn't worth it. I will be buying a quality brand to replace the Sceptre mistake.

Amazing to show with closed captions with tv. Deaf people love to read what they are talking about and they are very good work! And continue to work to improve in future and more teach people to change their life to see and different styles too.

The TV did not work properly from the very first day I purchased it. Now the remote no longer works no matter how many times you change the batteries. You can never get anyone from customer service to pick up the phone. My complaints I have are shared by many other customers. Seems like this company knows it made a faulty product and will not stand behind it. Will never purchase anything from this company again. I can't even get a replace remote that was defective!!!

The tv works fine, but after almost a year of use noticed some flickering on screen, so I contacted support to get it fixed under the factory warranty, everything was smooth although the process took a bit long because they would take their time to reply back. After 2 weeks of nothing through email today I finally got my tv back but apparently they couldn't repair it, they haven't sent me any info nor didn't sent anything with the TV regarding the still present flickering, as a matter of fact we haven't exchanged word since they sent me the return label for Fedex. Too good to be true, oh well time to move on from this company.

Purchased the 32" Sceptre TV at Walmart on-line. The tv was delivered Sunday afternoon. Went through the usual set-up process. Began to watch a program after set-up and within 15 minutes there was a loud pop and the tv screen went blank. As I tried the remote to turn it back on the back of the tv began to smoke. End of the Sceptre TV. Very disappointed.

I purchased my second TV-Dvd player and it is unbelievable. It took us compak 5 minutes to set up and the one I just purchased is a 32 inch. The quality is perfect and the sound is amazing. Why I purchased the 2nd one is the fact of their Customer Service Support which is outstanding. I had to call them and ask a question and it took less than 2 minutes to reach a "live operator", and I was done in a minute. Try this with another company. You won't find this type of support at all. When you purchase a product you have to consider Price/Quality/ and the Sound but you have to look at "Customer Support" and this company has it all. I plan to buy 2 more for each of my grandchildren for Christmas. One amazing experience for me...

I have owned multiple Sceptre TVs. I would say for the money it's a good value, however, if you're looking to actually hear anything you will need a soundbar that is not made by Sceptre. I would rate the TVs at a four if it wasn't for the fact you can't hear anything even at maximum level. The Soundbar is beyond subpar, not to mention it has minimal intelligence. You can press the volume up button and most of the time it just shuts off. The soundbars are a complete and utter waste of money. That said... the TV is worth the money if you're on a budget. There just is no sound because they use inferior speakers.

Sceptre will not give tech support on a newly purchased, warrantied TV without a $5 charge. The sound is irritatingly poor. Never was it indicated upon sale, a charge would be levied. TV 24" M24H246BDC2358. RAEA

Our TV stopped working within 2 months of purchase, we talked to Sceptre and they agreed to replace it under warranty if we sent it back to them. That was 6 months ago. We have attempted to contact them multiple times since. SCAMMERS.

I bought this 32" Sceptre TV in August, 2005 for the living room. My daughter was going through a rough time and watched a lot of television and it was on even when she would go outside to do yard work, she just turned the volume to full blast. Yes, I have read the other reviews and the speakers did not last. We also bought a sound bar, but that should be a tail for another review (it has a habit of turning itself off.)

I purchased a total of 5 tvs for 129.00 on Wal-Mart online website and 2 of the tvs were good. Had them for 5 years until I gave the one I was using. So yesterday I opened a Sceptre TV out of the box and it was pixelated...the picture was not showing after 1 day of setting it up and I'm upset because I didn't use the tv right away but I had no use for it. I just bought it as a backup so basically the tv was more than likely a bad t.v. which is only 3 years old. Which they're in the store for around that same amount of time. So I threw it out and opened my last tv but never again will I purchase a sceptre tv. Sometimes cheap is not better and with a 1 year warranty it is not long enough to determine if a product is defective or not!

I bought the 55 inch Tv one year ago. I finally opened to put in my guest room. Only a blue light came on. No picture or sound. I emailed tech support and did not get a response. I’m not sure what to do with the TV. It’s probable not worth taking for repairs as it was bought on Black Friday sale.

I own two Sceptre products and I haven't been disappointed in either purchase. I've owned the 65 inch 4k curved TV for about a year and a half and still have three years of warranty through Walmart. The TV looks beautiful and my friends/family can't believe what I paid for it. My computer monitor is the Sceptre 32 inch 1080p tv and it works wonderfully. The image is great and it has enough real estate to allow me to run multiple programs simultaneously. Again, at an impressively low price point. Sceptre products aren't going to be as thin or have high-quality materials used by more expensive competitors (Samsung, Sony, LG, etc.). It's primarily plastic with less than average speakers, but if image quality is what you're after at a low price point, they can't be beat.

I bought a Sceptre 32 inch TV through Walmart, because my problem occurred before the initial warranty was up (I did buy an extended warranty) I had to send my TV to Sceptre for repair. The tech I talked to at Sceptre said I could not return the TV without their pre-approval and to get that pre-approval I needed to send in a photo of the TV screen with the defect visible. I had a thing row of green dots across the middle of the screen so I had to get close to the screen so the dots were visible on my photo. I sent it in and the tech replied that I had to get the whole screen in the photo. To do that I had to back off and then the green line was not visible on the photo.

Purchased my 75" TV just over a year ago and it is still working like the day I got it. The initial purchase was through Walmart and I had a terrible experience there. Long story short, two of the three attempts of shipping the TV to the store were "lost". Fortunately, I received the third and a bit of satisfaction that Walmart hopefully took the hit for around $1,700 of lost product.

I purchased a 40" Sceptre television in 2012. Other than not being able to turn it on without unplugging it then plugging it back in first, the television still works perfect. In 2019, the TV began having power issues. I looked online to see if other people were having the same problem and sure enough, over 100,000 consumers were. I contacted sceptre per instructions in their manual only to be told that it would cost me to repair it. This is a manufacturer glitch (much like a recall on a car) and should be addressed by sceptre. Sceptre's response to me was I can sell the television for parts.

DO NOT PURCHASE SCEPTER BRAND TV!!. I purchased a 65inch Sceptre TV in Sept. 2018. It went out in Feb. 2019. Sceptre sent me a replacement TV in April 2019, I didn't open the replacement TV until Aug. 2019. Here it is Dec. 2019 and the replacement TV just went out in less than 4 months of usage. Contacted Sceptre and was told that they don't start the warranty over on replacement. So my warranty is expired because they're using the same warranty from my original purchase in Sept. How can they justify that? In reality, I only had a 5 month warranty on the replacement TV. Bad products and shady business practices. If they would have told me about the warranty l would have purchased an extended warranty. I'm sitting here without my TV because they want me to pay for shipping and repairs. Please stay away from Sceptre.

I own four Sceptre TVs from a 18 inch to 40 inch. All of them perform perfectly and if I ever have to replace them I will buy Sceptre again. Read all these reviews carefully. Aside from the obvious "dead on arrival" or otherwise broken, it is clear to me that these people never picked up the hand book. Trust me, Sceptre TVs as as good or better than the Samsungs, LGs, Visions, etc.

I purchased this TV. The volume was so low I had to purchase a sound bar which has now stopped working. I contacted the company. They were all beyond rude and blocked me on Facebook for making public remarks about the poor customer service. I highly recommend you do not purchase their products as the customer service is lacking and the sound quality is so poor you cannot hear without an external device. I highly recommend you purchase from any company but this one!!!!

I bought this Sceptre TV on Amazon and it's junk. Had it now for 5 days and the cheap China made tv has a red line on the screen from top to the bottom of the screen in the middle of the screen. The box and on the back of the tv it says made in China. Stay far away from this junk name Sceptre tv. They are cheap made China junk. 200 dollars for this junk down the drain. Buy other name brand. Sceptre is pure junk.

I've never experienced such terrible customer service in my life, until I bought a Sceptre product, what a mistake. Their products don't last more than a couple weeks and to get them to fix it is like pulling teeth, it will take MONTHS. Never again.

I decided to review the Sceptre brand TVs I own because most people probably have not heard of them. I own two 43 inch 4K Sceptres. They cost around $300 and I use them in my trading setup. One is three years old and so far no issues. You get a lot for the money. The image is much more detailed than my 1080P screen, and you get several HDMI inputs. The only downside is the screen will flicker on occasion and they take longer to turn on than I would like.

The tv has a great picture and enough features to suit me. My cable guy told me that when I got not one but two of these that the guts or the insides of the two TVs were made by Sony. So if that is true I think that I got a good deal on these two tvs.

I've had this TV for a while and I'm extremely happy and satisfied with it. The picture is very nice and I'm thinking of replacing it with a larger model. No dropped pixels anytime even after my grandson and I hit it with an RC Helicopter. Oops. Very satisfied with Sceptre brand. Used to use their monitors when I built custom computer systems for people. Always good quality and great value.

I have 3 of Walmart Spectre TV, good value for the product. Never had any problems with the products. Resolution is good. I'm not techno savvy, the product was a good value for my budget....

Bought a 65 inch 4K led uhd tv and the picture is just crap. It doesn’t matter what you try to watch on it the picture is always funny and yes it is hooked up to the promoter hdmi input with an hdmi cord and still just looks like I have an old square box tv from the 90s. Worst decision I ever made to buy one. It’s a waste of money and absolutely not worth it.

I have three TVs by Sceptre and all three work great with excellent pictures. I would highly recommend calling Walmart and compare the differences between manufacturers. Without a doubt you will find that this brand is much better priced and won’t let you down.

Ordered a 43-inch Sceptre LED TV through Walmart. It was delivered 3 days later was easy to put together very basic and easy to hook up but within the first 24 hours it started acting up and eventually stopped working. Now it keeps shutting off. Very disappointed. I didn't even have it for 30 hours. Now I have to wait another 3 days to get a return replacement TV. Such sad service and quality.. Picture was nice when it was working, but I noticed the screen had a little lag to it when there was fast-moving scenes on the TV.. I would not recommend. If you do buy one, buy it cheap and get an add on warranty. I think you will need it.

I purchased a Sceptre TV and DVD combination. I also purchased an extended warranty the day I purchase the TV. When using the TV for the first time the TV work fine and the sound was fine. Upon using the DVD player the player worked but the sound didn't. Even upon putting an external DVD player to the television the sound would not work. We even tried external speakers and they were very distorted. I contacted the extended warranty company and they said they could not do anything about it at that time because the TV is still under manufacturer's warranty.
