A:AnswerHi Davbuff! For the optimal viewing experience, we suggest sitting centered with the TV to avoid loss of quality from an angle. For wider viewing angles, check out the Q60A featuring Dual LED technology providing improved off angle viewing. For optimal bright room performance and glare control, we recommend positioning the TV to minimize incident light falling on the screen or consulting a professional installer. Starting with our QN85A model, Samsung TVs feature Anti-Reflection Technology reducing ambient light reflections on the TV screen. ^Tim

The TU7000 is compatible with Airplay 2 technology you to connect wirelessly to the TV from an Apple device. Samsung TVs do not support Apple HomeKit; Samsung TVs are compatible with Amazon Alexa, Bixby, Google Assistant, SmartThings, and other connected devices that "Work With SmartThings".

A:AnswerMy research indicates this tv is at least a 2 year old model, possibly even 3 years old. I've been told that Samsung brings it out each year around Black Friday. I was told this by two different sales people as well. It is part of the 6 series which isn't being produced any longer.
