Does anyone have firsthand experience with Sceptre dumb TVs? (self.hardware)

I'm in the market for a TV and I already use a HTPC as the main device. I am curious about the Sceptre TVs.

How is the image quality? Any input lag?

I know you asked for firsthand experience, but a quick overview of reviews does not look good:

Oof, yeah that's rough. Mostly comments about screen life.

I want to know more first-hand about the non-smart TVs specifically because a lot of negative reviews seem to be bad customer service from the vendor (Amazon, WalMart). Stuff like "1 star it's not a smart TV".

Well, I'll keep shopping around for now.
