This set has a great picture, and from first turning it on everything was smooth. The software walked me through all the set up very well. In addition, the Samsung TV Plus is like having a free basic cable package, so that was a surprise! I was watching in minutes... The screen is very clear and the colors are fantastic! The blacks are a bit non-contrast, so no detail in blacks or dark areas of screen in auto mode, but I read the reviews prior to purchase, and I am working that out so full detail of picture can be achieved in auto mode... I am using now in a manual mode and working to fine tune... Still a great Picture! The sound is a vast improvement over my 2013 65" Samsung! I was using a Bose 5.1 system with that one (which went into my bedroom). This new Q80 however, could almost be used without it, but since it's the new movie machine, I'll just have to turn up the volume on the older set... Although at first, I thought the remote was way too simplistic, I've found it to be very capable and intuitive to use. The more that I experiment with it, the more I learn , and the more I realize it's a bonus to have paired down the over-buttoned controls of the yester-years sets... Bravo to Samsung!

I did a ton of research on these TV’s. Waited for the 75’s to go on sale. I have a lot of windows so the QLED was a no brained. & if you think the OLED SONY is a better TV then why are you here? Go spend the $4K + & buy it. At the $2-2500 range I compared the 7 series at another store. For the extra money, not even close!! The Q80 is 10x better. I also bought the samsung sound bar 60 version. It linked up as soon as I turned it on. (I had no idea) The remote control is simple and makes life easy for me. (My eyes are going) I’d rather look on the screen then stare at a little remote. Bought a wall mount from Amazon mounted with ease. Bottom line- you buy one Tv every 10yrs or so. If your not a baller and spend double the money on the OLED, the 7 series is good but (not great compared to this) then this is the best move.

As an owner of three Samsung TV’s all of which were Sony and LG previously...I have no hesitation to purchase a new Samsung in replacement of my 55” in my theater. This QLED did not disappoint. The structure of the unit appears to be well built to today’s standard and the anti-glare screen is a plus. Plenty of ports on the rear, and VESA mounting holes which offer plenty of depth, so you can have ease of mind that you can have enough threads to engage. You will need two to maneuver the TV and to mount it. The picture is fantastic. Take care to understand that the TV will produce a picture ONLY as good as the input provided. The ability of the internal processors to up-convert is very good, but remember as you head towards double the resolution of an inputted resolution that has only half of the data the final product will not be full 4K or HDR 10+. With inputs providing that data the picture is fantastic! To get the full capability remember to activate Input Signal Plus in the General settings on the TV. I use an external home theater receiver so I cannot review the sound quality, but I can say if you do not have the ability to use ARC or eARC there is an optical output to use. Remember if you plan to use optical into a receiver you are limited to 5.1 surround due to bandwidth. If you expect 7.1 or higher you then need components that can accept eARC from the HDMI connection. Menu navigation is smooth, and the remote is simple. The only knock on this TV is not the unit itself it is the availability of manuals. Everything is online. Whether it is from the internet on a laptop/desktop it is virtual on the TV itself. However; the smart TV is very smart. The software is capable of troubleshooting the TV itself and has the ability to self setup inputs...I feel like HAL 2000 will pop up on screen. I’ve said enough. Last statement...you can’t make chicken salad out of chicken crap...so don’t expect miracles if you provide input data that is chicken crap.

This is my third Samsung and my second QLED. No learning curve required to understand remote, Tizen OS, and setup. This one is mounted in the basement home theater room, so essentially a dark environment. I compared many selections in my local BB with some able and patient assistance. There were only two real contenders: the LG 77” OLED and the Q80. The winning argument? The Q80 was about 40% cheaper and presented an almost imperceptible less visually appealing display. I like: The picture: vivid colors, dark blacks, and no pixelation. The audio is not bad at all, but the amps and speakers will soon be downstairs for the 9.1 experience. Bixby is even better than previous version, now the TV listens and understands me without pushing a microphone button Setup was a breeze! I don’t like: So far there is no Tablo app available. My wife and I like to time shift OTA broadcasts. Get on it Samsung and Tablo!

We love this TV! The picture is very sharp and clear, the colors are vibrant, and it's large enough that watching movies gives a theater experience. The remote is easy to use.
