I know it's been a while, but this video was not uploaded at 16:9 4K. The source file is 2:1 4096:2048. However, we had to do an edit at some point to remove a piece of content within the video and it's caused it to be reprocessed by the UA-cam Editor at 16:9. We've reported the issue to our rep.
why did they remove the to be continued bit when linus pulls the sheet of cardboard out the box?

i haven't seen the point of going above 1080p. if you play to win ( iknow that sounds douche but that's not what i mean ) you in most cases turn everything down to low or a mix between medium low. foliage, grass etc etc on ultra settings makes the enemy invisible where as medium or low makes him visible ( in grass and some things ). ive played bf4 since its release on low with both cpu and gpu to easily crank it all the way to the max. you simply don't give a shit at about "ooh pretty". unless you play singleplayer games ofc

I actually just talked a random guy out of one of these cheap smaller tvs and instead got him to buy a bigger better model about a month back.
And by that I mean he approached me while I was standing by the tvs on my phone and asked me if he should get it (I am not an Employee which is obvious.) His wife wanted something for their bedroom apparently.
A little confused but willing to help I get less than a few words in trying to explain that it really depends and he should make a decision based on a multitude of factors... Price, use case, latency, resolution, sound, longevity...
Before he tells me "You know you're right I think I'll go with the bigger one (Much Bigger, Big Brand Name about 3x the price...) Man my wife is going to kill me... Thanks for your help..."
With a smile he grabs the bigger tv, throws it in his cart and rides off with a wave...
It was obvious this guy just really wanted an excuse for the bigger tv... Probably going to tell the MRS about how this other guy talked him into it at the store XD
So you talked some rando dude into spending his family's rent money on a bigger TV? Congrats!

TrollFaceTheMan Are u sure you are not a undercover shopper for walmart to hustle others into buying more expensive things😂
you convinced him to buy something he does not need and/or willing to pay for. pretty sure he would be just fine going for this TV in his bedroom.
I literally have this exact display. As someone who uses it as a PC monitor, let me give my 2 cents:
If you are broke, this will do just fine. Don't pull a linus and knock sharpness to 0 , just keep it at a value just above it where edges don't look fuzzy (I use 10), otherwise keep all other settings the same as dynamic. Point to point and graphic under advanced. Don't bother with built in speakers, that point was already well made and fairly so, even for a budget TV.
It does 1080p60 smoothly, but don't try to overclock it. it can go up to 75Hz, but anything above 60 is a stutterfest, and it ISN'T the GPU. Viewing angles are also not too bad. Not the best, but certainly have seen more expensive displays do a worse job.
If you are not going budget? Don't buy this display. Production work? Don't buy this display. Game development? Depends on if you code, model, animate, or level design, but if you do texture work, don't buy this display. If you just want to chill and game but aren't trying to go 4K 144Hz or some shit, this is fine.
Personally, the display industry seems to lack one point that has me feeling stuck for upgrading: 1440p 120Hz (144Hz still nerfs colors from what I have seen, especially on budget) at 42" or higher at a REASONABLE price. Sorry, $600 is not reasonable just for size, and 4K isn't quite there yet. So until I see something worth the upgrade, this display is still going strong. I leave it on 24/7 and have had no burn in or color loss. At it's core, it makes a nice cheap 1080p60 gaming display for those who feel monitors are over priced and under sized, but falls short of anything better for consuming other content.
SOME people *cough*LTT*cough* are spoiled to where they can no longer remember the struggles of being minimum wage peasants in the wrong industry to be enthusiasts, where a R3 1200, a GTX 1060, and this TV makes a "good" gaming experience when you catch super extreme deals to get them at really low costs. I certainly feel like I could have a better experience without going the ultra enthusiast route, but I also don't feel like I am getting some last gen console experience either. Feel free to "loan" me better hardware to prove me wrong though ;)
This display makes a good pairing with something like a PS4 or XB1, as the cost to begin gaming is absolutely competitive.
wow

Fabian He did mention that he understands the concept of a "target demographic", but he's giving a review so that people thinking it might be the best deal they ever got aren't extremely disappointed
They won't last as they're not build to run 24/7.
At my workplace they have a junker in our cafeteria for the same purpose. It's mounted to the wall and they actually had our Facilities dept. construct a really clever "secret" panel behind that wall for easy access to the PC and DVD players they have hooked up to it. Anyway, yeah, it's the cheapest TV they could find but it's just for displaying slideshows of photos from company events, announcements and schedules & upcoming holiday notices. Yes, everything looks like pixelated ass on it but that's part of a cheap TV's charm, isn't it? ...as long as it's not your main set.
its still better to just buy something used tbh...

to be 100% fair you don't really use a tv from this close. At least you shouldn't
Only CRTs damaged you're eyes when you viewed it close
Crts damaged because of radiation.. however any lcd panel can cause myopia at close distances.. sheer brightness can damage eyes
@@aschraub9897 eye damage or not, TVs are not computer monitors, supposed to stand on your desk at arms reach, more like you view them at a dinners table length or whatever. For that reason in general TVs are larger than monitors of the same resolution, at all price ranges, and it's no wonder one can see the pixels when watching it from a foot away.
@@aschraub9897 Yeah. If it wasn't for the fact that you don't watch a screen from that close because you want to have all of the screen in your field of view and not because it damages your eyes. You need to be able to see all of the screen at once.
Staring at screens for long peiods of time in general isn't good for your eyes.
There really is no such thing as "not supposed to watch from that distance", its entirely personal preference. As pointed out, staring at ANYTHING from a fixed distance for a long period is bad for you, simply because your eyes will stop being able to focus properly through lack of use.
Brightness is irrelevant as a good HDR TV from a distance is still likely to be far far brighter than a cheapo TV from as close as you can possibly sit and retain focus.
A high end monitor would shove way more light into your eyes than this, plus you can always turn down the backlight if its a problem.
I have had this TV for months and god bless you for teaching me how to get rid of overscan

@5:35 I know people who leave the "peeling peel" on their products and it DRIVES ME INSANE.
I had a friend who had a Maytag washer with blue colored surface protection film on it. I was fixing something silly with the washer and so I decided to clean it, which necessitated removing the blue protection film which had started getting stuck under the control and peeling at the edges.
This person was MAD that I turned their "blue washer" in to a "white one!"
I explained that it was merely surface protection film--but they insisted they liked the blue color and wanted to keep it that way.
Well--OK! Go buy a roll off Amazon or eBay and make it blue again, then!
You're nicer than me, as I would've told them to go EFF themselves.

1. It's a 43" 1080p TV for US$150 - fine for a spare room or bedroom for casual viewing as you mentioned later in the video.
2. It's unfair to compare the pixels on your laptop screen to the TV when the same distance from it. I'm not sure what anyone else would expect for $150.
3. I don't believe everyone in North America has $600 to spend on a reasonable TV (I may be wrong, I don't live there). For most people, this will probably suffice for the price.
You can get a decent 4K TV for equal or less than $600. Also I believe that people did spent around $600 on a TV before. So I doubt that people would actually wanted cheap TVs over a decent one.

I mean hell $150 for a budget 1080p TV, it's a budget TV and those who can't afford Linus' 4K 144hz TV's would really appreciate a TV like this
The things they pick on , it reeks of " ohh I am too rich , the smallest of details matter to me" . Its a 150 dollar tv for godsakes.
The idea is to see if it IS worth the 150$. Because often we have a 300$ product that is good and worth the 300, and for half the price we have total garbage that is NOT worth the 150$, hence money wasted. Sometimes you can struck a good deal though, and buy something really good for cheap - like on Aliexpress for example. So you can buy something after, say, gatherhing cash for 1 month, instead waiting half a year to be able to afford it.
you can get an average 4k TV for like 500 USD..
Anyone would appreciate this TV. Even my mother, who spent over $3000 on 3 4K TVs alone just to stream her movies in 480i. 🤣
you can get quality brand secondhand 1080p tvs for that amount of money though,
TBH I pretty much always prefer just saving my money a year or two more and buying a much better product when there is such a large disparity in quality between the low and high end.

Compared to the specter or whatever it failed, having worse colors, worse audio, worse design, and worse resolution for what? A larger screen? Shouldn't it be the opposite since pixel density, and a large area for speakers and other design factors? Plus the default settings on the TV were horrible as well, and required change to even make it decent?
Insignia same everything much better over all.
considering @holes on my local kijiji want $150-$200 for their 5 year old 42 inch 1080p tvs, I'd say a brand new in box offbrand walmart tv with a warranty and someone to actually hold accountable if it breaks is worth the $120 plus $30 for a basic soundbar/computer speakers or whatever you wanna use to get it to sound better

Linus: It’s 2019. “I expect 4K with HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos from a $150 43 inch Walmart TV!’.
he calls it a fail cause there's better screens out there with comparable pricing
I guess Walmart is a shop, then? When I bought my 29" JVC TV, it nearly cost me more for the taxi (had to be a people carrier) to take it home. I watched it a few times -- a prog called "Monk" - then I decided that I didn't like TV. It sends me to sleep. So I bought a new bed and some books. Much better.
@mharris1270 Now that's a surprise reply! I think we were talking about TVs/monitors. My taxi comment was meant to point out how stupidly big CRTs can get.Still, good luck in the world of transport.
@@Ndlanding you're so weird.
not far off i got two hdr 10 4k 50 inches for 229-300 at walmart lol.
I like that it isn't a smart display, though. $125 would make a good TV for the bedroom or somewhere that it isn't used all that much, then maybe $30 for some of those little Logitech speakers with the tiny subwoofer
Spare me, Walmart is giving deals that are simply unbeatable. This is becoming a joke when these guys have to start talking people out of Walmart deals.
@@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921 exactly
Yeah I could see this being used for like a guest bedroom. For when you have company over.
100%. Logitech set of speakers would make this a fine experience. That tv looked really good to me. I have a color correct IPS monitor from korea, but jeez, one cant get so picky about trash tv watching, or having a tv in general.
this tv 20 years ago would of cost more then my house
Since the technology inside this TV did not even exist back then... Ya. 20 Years ago if you wanted anything over 30 inches you likely had a... I forget the names of those TVs, they had big bulbs inside and weighed like 300+ lbs.
@Skott No not CRT... I was thinking of DLP rear projection TV.
Frost yes they were. How old are you? 20? This tech was there. Wasn’t as thin. But it was more than CRT 20 years ago.
@Charles Ball Those were not anywhere near "flat" by today's standards. That 50 inch you saw was likely at least 200lbs.

I think people are missing, intentionally or not, that he said "it's been a while since I've seen a 1080p display FROM THIS CLOSE" and are immediately going after him from that. A 1080p TV or large scale display with that resolution is going to look terrible when viewed from that distance so he was commenting on that experience
@@CiceroFMYT That is not small. My main monitor is 10.1 inches.
@@CiceroFMYT I mean, it really depends upon the purpose of the TV. And the monitor. For example, my monitor is great for traveling and has a high enough resolution (1600p) to work well. When I did have a television, a 22 inch was fine for my dorm, but a 32 would be better.

Hey! Actually, it sounds like a pretty good screen for the visually impaired!
it does have the voice guidance and could probably be set up as a video magnifier. For people who are visually impaired, depending on their vision, may not even be able to tell the difference between 1080p and 4K. especially when using it as a magnifier. When text is enlarged enough, resolution really doesn't matter. I'm so tempted to get one to try it out!

As long as there is an option to turn off the voice when your changing settings.
I woulda just bought one of those rca 43” TVs, they are also quite cheap
Exactly. I'm a Walmart Sales associate in our electronics dep. And these TV's are super popular and people love this TV.
Dude its a $150 tv. Are you seriously critiquing it for only being 1080p? It's supposed to be across the room. The 1st world is unbearable.
I mean, I have a cheap tv that advertised as 720p on it's box, but when plugged into HDMI went straight to 1080p.
That's a special kind of derp, especially considering it doesn't have any of the hallmarks of scaling.
Might be downscaling the 1080p signal to 720p
0:27 every so often i'll come back just for linus sayin OnnnNNnnNn
Come back again
Come back
For $150 that is not bad at all
I'd easily buy this for my grandma
ONN makes some alright stuff for the money, and would be fine in a kids room, if you are just broke, and need a basic TV, and throw in an Antenna for a few bucks for local OTA. the only problem I see buying this or any TV at any price right now is none of them support the new upcoming ATSC 3.0 standard, so you will need to buy a converter box/stick when it gets rolled out in the next couple of years.
I'm still amazed they've made it down to this price point.
@@dfgaJK The target audience for this TV would not calibrate it, so I don't think they should have.

@@Myke_thehuman billions of people still watch terrestrial broadcasts, i dont personally watch them myself but to mock someone for it is just arrogant.
@@ligametis ah so there's still shows you like to watch that aren't on Netflix or Hulu. Then that makes sense.
I happened across this same model at Walmart for $100, so I decided to take a chance, as I wanted a TV for my rarely used basement area.
Overall, I'd say that I was surprised by the TV, as it seemed to perform well for how cheap it was. Video needed a ton of tweaking, as did the sound, but it's really not bad.
The thing that almost made me return it, however, is that, while audio through HDMI, composite, etc. was fine, I couldn't, for the life of me, seem to get audio through the coaxial (from my antenna) to work. After several days of searching, I found a post for an unrelated brand of TV suggest that the problem is that some newer TVs are dropping some compatibility with certain digital signals, and some broadcast digital channels (or all of them in my area), will no longer decode properly, resulting in no sound.
This lead me to hook up my old digital converter box that I used with my old CRT TV, and lo and behold, I had sound. So there nothing "wrong" with the TV, per se.
The quality of the digital converter I had was terrible, so I went out to buy a new one (like $20 or so), but I now have everything working.
I hope that helps anyone else that has a similar experience.
That's cool that you found a workaround for that, IMO a 43" TV for $100 is a bargain if the thing even works, I'm shocked they can build one that cheap. Of course it's not going to have a great picture or be ideal for gaming, but if you want a cheap netflix device in the bedroom or you're some old person who's tube TV or ancient 720p LCD finally took a shit this thing could be an upgrade, I'd be fine with everything but the internal speakers, but even on expensive TVs those are often junk, and it's pretty easy to score a
antenna? this is 2019, not 1990 ;)

Lol same
@Adam R I have this exact tv. Yes. Still works fine. Have had it for over a year and a half. Walmart was trying to get rid of the last of these a couple months ago. Saw em for 70 bucks!
I got a 1 year old mint condition Insignia 42" LED TV at a thrift shop for about $14 just last month. Support your local thrift and consignment stores and reduce, reuse and recycle. Walmart can keep their units ONN the shelf.
I am rocking a similar walmart TV for my PC monitor right now. Monitor died hard and needed a replacement that night. It was there, it was cheap, it works. Mine is an Element, but the speakers are not great (but sound better than yours). I wanted large and cheap for text reading (getting old). I added a cheap pair of Logitec speakers (Z150 for like 15 bucks at office max) and they sound much better and you can actually adjust their aim. No idea why you NEED to spend $70 on a sound bar.
I dont understand how he could make a video praising the sceptre 4K monitor (worst monitor i have ever used. died in a week, had terrible color accuracy and all the amazon reviews cite dead pixels) but then he criticizes the quality of this TV's packing foam for like 2 solid minutes.
Gets a $180 43" TV and complains about the quality! lol
Walmart is trying too hard, should've charged more price for an at least mediocre finished product rather than this
The local Fry's had a Father's Day deal for a 43" 4K "Silo" TV for $168, there's no telling how awful that one is.
could of atleast spent a further $20 on better speakers
@@phatcyclist silo ahha i wonder where it was made :D
I mean He still has to be able to critique it at face value, and also in-consideration of it's purpose obviously, it's for someone who doesn't want to spend much for a large TV. And then base it off there, He isn't complaining about the quality in disregards to the price, He still has to be able to deliver a proper judgement on whether it is or is not a good deal because there could be much better deals out there for a similar price or lower price.
*"WHY"*
THIS TV SOUNDS LIKE IT'S IN GENUINE PAIN
I detest the ONN brand as every product I've ever purchased from them only lasted a few weeks tops. However, this TV is honestly pretty standard for around $130-170. But if you're a cord cutter, you'd be better off spending an extra $30-60 on a TCL 40S325 because you're going to need some sort of streaming device and TCL is a reliable brand itself.
Or hisense smart tv's with 4k display for 200$
TCL makes good TV's they're my recommendation
you should detest the BAUHN brand
their TVs have so much lag that you can tell without effort.
What about Westinghouse? I've never heard of Bauhn or ONN before this video.
The "good" TCL tvs aren't even available for purchase in Canada, they're too busy dumping their crappy stock that won't sell first.
Hisense bought Sharp.
