Very good TV for the money.

We have used the TV since we received it and it appears to great.  The picture is great quality with beautiful color.  Once we adjusted the sound it is quite good but not surround sound quality.
Over all it is a great buy.

What's the refresh rate on this tv?

Accepted Answer

60 hz, Saw you posted the same question at the exact same time, so doing some research for the owners manual provided the answer, but they really should have that posted.

Question 10

I have the sceptre 40" HDTV but there is no MHL port just 4 HDMI ports, one is separated could that be it?

Accepted Answer

The mhl port looks like an HDMI port, but has purple coloring.  If you look in the user manual that came with the TV, you can confirm which port is the mhl port.

When I bought it, there was a bunch of promotional advertising on and inside the box that it was "Roku ready", and emphasized the correct port to use.
