Great TV.,
I went to Best Buy and hhgregg looking for a new television about a month ago. After reading many reviews on a few different televisions I had in my mind I narrowed it down to LG or SONY. I had 42″ LG before, a 32″ SONY in my bedroom and I had a roommate that uses a 50+? inch VIZIO–then I saw the SEIKI. I had never heard of the brand before and asked the people at the different stores about it and read some reviews on my phone while at the store. SEIKI 55inch LCD 1080p 120hz for $699.99…seemed a little off to me. But after reading many reviews and talking to some people I went ahead and took a risk with it. Note* I am def. not one to go off-brand with electronics.* I went ahead an purchased a 5yr warranty plan with it to be safe; SO IF THE PICTURE QUALITY or TV IS NOT TO MY STANDARDS or BREAKS WITHIN 5 YEARS I GET A NEW ONE OR THE MONEY BACK. I have heard and read that SEIKI and LG are connected somehow and that LG parts are used with SEIKI televisions, so that was a plus to hear..whether how true those statements are.
Looking at the display at the store; LG, SEIKI and SONY all right beside each other (LCDs) I could not see a difference. The TV was VERY WELL packaged, lots of Styrofoam and protective coverings. The weight was about 93 lbs, too me, not too bad. I was able to handle it myself..I had too. It hooked up very easily, came with all the necessary cables and even an HDMI cable of pretty good quality.
The remote is nothing fancy, pretty bland, but it has everything you need on it to operate your TV. The menus are easy to get around and understand. The factory settings on the picture settings were pretty good. I tweaked mine to my preference as any TV I own. The sound from the TV is also pretty good, better than my LG. But obv. a good home theater system is going to be better.
I have noticed nothing that I do not like from this TV, after my first 2 months of owning it, besides the remote. My cable box synced up with the TV right away. The picture quality is great with the HD cable, LG Bluray and my XBOX 360. I see no problems or negative differences than what is with my LG or SONY. (Besides some different options;ex SONY has more HDMI ports, etc.) I always use the latest HIGH SPEED HDMI CABLES available also, no problems with connection/loss of picture. There is NO internet access with this TV but that is not a concern of mine while I use my 360 or Bluray to access what I’d need with the TV and have a laptop and desktop computer for the more important things.
I truly believe this is a good to great TV for the brand and the price. Depending on what you are looking for in your TV should depend on what you want to buy. Other TVs may have more options in different areas, you may want an LED or 3D televison..but this is perfect for me. VIZIO started out similar with low-priced sets with good quality that greatly improved over that last couple years and I feel Seiki is going the same route.
I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a TV right now, nor pay for an LED or 3D. LEDs will drop in price over the next couple years and the LCD isn’t really a big picture difference to me and for what I NEED.
I DO recommend this TV. I love it and I am VERY impressed thus far with the quality and picture of my purchase. If you don’t want to buy an off-brand, it’s understandable, but know you can get a lemon from any other manufacturer just as well. As was my first LG set, but they did replace.
I hope this review helps those who read it.

Good enough!,
I bought this TV for $700 via CompUSA. Works fine with HD cable channels, don’t know about the OTA stuff. My only complaint is that I’d like to see more options in the Pictures setting. But hey, it’s pretty cheap for a 55″. I don’t see anything wrong with it. BTW, we ended up using the default “Movie” picture settings with the 120Hz Low turned on. Without the 120Hz, there was a double-image with all movement. Turning that on immediately makes that disappear. Movie might be a little dark for some people, but it’s better than the pixelation we saw. This TV probably doesn’t have Sony-level software, but again, it’s like half the price. We won’t be returning it.
