plenty of people still want small TVs.
and based on reviews, could be a decent pc monitor too
the internets says this TV is manufactured by TCL, and the picture quality is pretty good
i'm pretty sure this TV cost is also subsidized by comcast and spectrum.
overall , a 43" TCL roku/google tv is a better purchase, and less restrictive than a Xumo.
That said... If you have anything else streaming HDMI out; the panel itself makes it a basement option.

1. The Pioneer name is almost certainly licensed out here. This is probably a TV that's mass produced and sold under many different brand names, meaning cheap production and virtually no additional R&D.
2. The cost of smart TVs is subsidized by the services they include and the data they collect on you.
Who would want a cheap, crappy TV like this? Me! I bought good, high-end TVs for my living room and basement "home theater" room, but I have cheap generic, black Friday doorbuster TVs like this in my bedroom and guest bedroom. I don't care much about picture quality in these rooms b/c I'm just watching the news while I'm getting reading in the mornings, or youtube videos while I'm doing chores. All my serious watching is on the good TVs.
I throw an old AppleTV or Roku on them, and skip the onboard OS. It's always terrible on these cheap TVs, and the bargain bin processors they use are underpowered from day one and only get worse as the OS is updated and bloated.
