Setup is fairly easy. Although, updating the software can take a while. You just have to be patient. I don’t have cable TV and so I did not set up the channels. I only rely on the internet for my content, laptop or my 3D player
Since it’s a smart tv it is basically a computer. Great TV, very easy to use, it has additional gaming features which are a plus, all around solid TV for your money’s worth, very clear picture.
