If it keeps jacking up, get it to stick mid way and run an external speaker setup through the headphone jack and adjust sound through that.
STOP POTATO HATE!

Any suggestions on a new 50” plus ... ? For me it's tough to beat the Samsung stuff. I have 2 55" smart 4k UHD units...they work flawless.

Hay Cs... tell me yur story !
I called Westinghouse customer service... they ran me through a reboot ....
Same/same ......
Kind of a bummer here ... perfect picture .... but no sound ... and that sound bar on the bottom of the screen won’t go away ...
I kinda get the idea that the TV is a throwaway?...??
Any suggestions on a new 50” plus ... ? My 90 year old Dad bought one from Wally World several years back. Lovable dear depression era guy that always tried to save a buck. In less than a year, it would completely shut off anytime it was on 45 minutes or so. Westinghouse and Wally World basically said “eat it”, or made return/warranty repairs so unrealistic that he just trashed it. I don’t think you can go wrong with Samsung, LG, or Vizio. I

Roku ? ... which ones have the BESTest warranty?
I have a potential deal on a 40” Sanyo ... not SMART .., but brand new in the box Might be new in the box but it is still a dated unit...most everything is smart now. Why are you going from a 50" to a 40"? Bestbuy has 50"+ Samsungs for $300ish. Hard to beat that. The one I just hung this summer was like $350 for a 55"

Check out CostCo... They have some great prices and extended warranty plus bonus $$.. My preference brand is Sony... Samsung and LG screens look good but their control HDMI CEC software is less compatible with other HDMI source components. Just my $0.02...

Roku is an operating system , streaming device for the internet
A lot of TVs now a days have Roku built into the TV
Roku does not make TVs
You can also buy Roku streaming sticks and add them to your TV if so equipped thru USB ports
All my TVs are Roku - Two have the operating system built in TCL TVs
All others have the Roku sticks because they where a bit older
They all connect to the wireless internet thru my house and stream TV that way - Think of the Roku as an internet antenna
No more satellite dishes - No more cables or boxes
I love it
