Stunning 4K QLED Picture + Perfect for Gaming
I’m absolutely blown away by this OLED TV. The picture quality is unreal—deep blacks, insanely vibrant colors, and clarity that honestly makes regular TVs look washed out. Movies feel cinematic, and the contrast is so sharp that even darker scenes look detailed instead of muddy. Setup was super easy and the TV menu is smooth and responsive. The sound is also surprisingly good for a slim OLED, but pairing it with a soundbar takes it to another level. I mainly use it for streaming and gaming, and it performs beautifully—fast response time, crisp motion, and no weird blur. Watching 4K content on this is genuinely an experience. If you’re on the fence about OLED, this TV is worth every dollar. It’s easily the best TV I’ve ever owned and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants top-tier picture quality.

Overall a great television for the bedroom
I picked up this televison to replace a 10 year old Samsung for the bedroom that, while working fine, was missing some of the new features i wanted. I’ve had it for about a month now and use it almost every night. The TV itself is sleek and modern looking sitting on our dresser with its thin profile and simple legs. Both the image and sound quality are great and I’ve found that it excels in the bedroom at night because even with the brightness turned way down, the image quality is still really strong.

Exemplary
Exceedingly lucid ai enabled Smart TV that takes under 5 minutes to setup post installation. Samsung TV Plus which is uncoincidentally the first app inset on the smart tv makes a TV services provider like Fios needless. Essentially internet is the chief requisite to have accessibility to cable. Intelligible features such as reverting to subtitles soon as volume drops to 0 or turning on sensing when someone walks by unit. Keenly apparent why Samsung is the market leader in this sector and has been for well over a decade.
