The TV has amazing picture quality, and some great features, but it took a while to get set up properly. First off, it forces you to use the Smart Hub app just to use your TV. There might be a way to bypass that, but I could not find it. So, I spent 20 mins setting up this app, that I will never use, when all I needed to do was input my WiFi info. After that, it would do this annoying thing where it would always start at the home menu, and force me to select the desired input. To fix this, hit the Settings button on the remote, then select All Settings, scroll down to Advanced Features and select Start Screen Option. Then disable Start with Smart Hub Home. Now, it will simply stay on the previous input like a normal TV. Then there was this annoying popup I kept getting, nudging me to use the AI features. This continued to happen even after disabling all notifications. To get rid of this, just press the AI button on the remote and set it up. I used Bixby. I never plan on using that feature but it got rid of the annoying popup. Picture settings were pretty straight forward. I put it in Filmmaker Mode. Also, I disabled Brightness Optimization under the Power and Energy Saving settings. Once set up, this is an excellent TV at a great price. 65" is the perfect size for my room. The OLED reminds me more of plasma picture quality without the same drawbacks. Super thin and lightweight compared to plasmas and even other LEDs. No annoying buzzing noises that plasmas were prone to. So, OLED makes a great bedroom TV. Also, it has AirPlay built-in (not mentioned on the product page of Best Buy or Samsung) which works great. Also, the built-in Bluetooth feature works excellent for Bluetooth headphones.

It’s been 16 years since I bought our first flat screen TV, a 46-inch Samsung model. After that long in use, I figured it would have died by now but alas it’s still working just fine. Despite the old set still functioning well, falling prices and larger screen options prompted my decision to buy a replacement. Initially, I considered a 60-inch TV but discovered that size was no longer available, so I settled instead on a 65-inch Samsung, now the most popular size for medium living rooms. After researching reviews, Consumer Reports ratings, and visiting Best Buy, I stuck with Samsung over alternatives like LG, Hisense, or Vizio. My choice was influenced by years of positive experience with Samsung phones and the desire for seamless connectivity. Among Samsung’s 2025 offerings, the OLED Q models 7F and 8F were considered, priced at $500 and $700 respectively, but ultimately the S84F model was the one I selected. It was on sale for $899 at Best Buy, with free delivery included. Best Buy was chosen for its one-stop convenience, offering installation by Geek Squad ($179), a two-year protection plan ($99), and haul-away service ($49). The purchase was finalized on December 1, with installation scheduled for December 9. I've never utilized Best Buy’s Geek Squad before so I was a bit apprehensive about installation. However, come installation day, Geek Squad arrived early, removed the old TV, and installed a new wall mount certified for larger screens. Both guys were courteous and the older one made careful measurements to ensure the set was centered on the wall and cleared holiday decorations on top of the entertainment cabinet. Once mounted, the new TV impressed everyone with its size and clarity. Not to mention how thin these new sets are - truly incredible! I decided to pass on my old Samsung to a friend, so the haul-away service was cancelled. Afterwards, the crew hauled off all trash and were on their way to the next customer. This Samsung S84F TV offers numerous modern features: automatic channel scanning, Samsung Plus with tons of free channels, and a compact, solar charge capable remote. Streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube came preloaded. Connectivity was straight-forward—casting videos from my Galaxy A54 phone worked seamlessly, and linking to my Windows 11 PC via Samsung's Easy on TV app allowed direct viewing of photos and videos. All I need now is to add a Bluetooth mini keyboard and mouse to operate the TV comfortably from a recliner. UPDATE: I’ve had the TV for a few weeks now and getting used to the features and functions. It has a built-in memo board screensaver that displays once you get near the TV. To connect my cable box all I had to do was punch in my zip code and lets me pick who my provider is. I also plugged in a 4K Firestick and it found it automatically. The sound is fantastic, especially once I turn on my Denon receiver – so glad this TV had an optical cable port. Overall, I love this TV and I hope this set lasts as long as my last one.

I picked up the Samsung 65” S84F OLED (2025) and it’s easily one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my home setup. The design is super clean, it slick without trying too hard, and it instantly makes the whole room feel more premium. But the real star is the picture. OLED on this thing is straight up magical. Deep blacks, insane contrast, and colors that look rich without feeling fake. Everything feels more alive, whether I’m watching a movie, a show, or just scrolling around the menus. It’s the kind of screen that makes you want to rewatch stuff just to see it the way it was meant to look. Overall, it’s elevated my viewing experience in a big way. If you want a TV that looks as high end as it performs, this one delivers.

I bought this Samsung OLED TV and it honestly exceeded my expectations. The colors look incredibly vibrant and sharp, with a quality that stands out even in very dark or very bright scenes. The deep blacks and strong contrast make everything look much more realistic. Overall, my experience has been very good. The picture quality is excellent, the interface runs smoothly, and the performance has been great from day one. I definitely recommend it.

This is the 3rd OLED panel I've purchased. My first a 65" LG OLED C2 - I bought this Samsung thinking it would be my second TV but it's actually better than my C2 so the C2 is relegated to gaming room. I was a little nervous after reading the review that it might be too dim or the remote would be garbage - and the remote is garbage but it gets the job done. I don't have any issues with glare and this is mounted on my living room with plenty on natural and recessed lighting. I recommend this TV for anytime. OLED is still overpriced but it's also the best picture. If you're thinking about buying your first OLED this is a great one. I'm still shocked that this TV looks better then my LG. Fast processor. Links with Samsung phones. Samsung sound bars obviously. Would buy another. I do recommend this TV to family and friends.
