things or make it significantly cheaper than a comparable television.

As far as a television goes it works great and as a cord cutter, I like that I can pause live television on it without a DVR, all you need is a thumb drive.

What I don't like is you can't switch back and forth between different inputs and save where you are. For example, I can't go from Netflix to live television and then back to Netflix without being kicked out of my show and having to reload Netflix again.
