hi this is ty Pendlebury with a review of the Insignia NS 55 e 480 TV manufacturers have been trying to sell us smart TV for some years now but some people would like to be able to choose the platform that suits them and not be lumbered with the one that comes with their TV enter the Roku streaming stick and one of the first TVs to support it the Insignia NS 55 e 480 the two devices use an HDMI based standard called MH L which has so far been used to control smartphones but is now extending to set-top boxes the Insignia doesn't come with the Roku stick it's available separately for $99 but the TV is obviously designed for it as even the MHL port is purple combine the two though and you get a Roku experience that clears your a/v unit of clutter and lets you use the TV remote to control it but even if you take the Roku stick out of the equation the Insignia is still a good deal it offers similar picture quality to a Samsung LED panel but at a saving of about $400 sure it's not the best TV in the world but at $800 it sticks out by pairing decent blacks with vibrant colors well it's possible to get a plasma at around the same price with an even better picture if you simply must have an LCD there is very little else that competes with this insignia TV this has been Ty Pendlebury for cnet.com
