||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve only had this 4 days but seems like an incredible product. Still learning as I’ve always bought Samsung. I wanted 120 hz and for the price and reviews this seemed a great buy! The colors are very vibrant and the picture is very clear. As of now I would definitely recommend!

Nice set!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great pic quality, bright and very sharp. As expected, internal speakers not as rich of a sound as compared to using an external sound system. Physically much lighter than expected. Setting it up is a little involved, but there's a lot of options available. Great up-conversion quality! Nice NextGen TV (ATSC3 standard) OTA reception capability!

Great TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got the TV as a replacement for an old Samsung SmartTV. I have to say, this one blows the other out of the water. The darks are more discernable and the colors are incredibly vibrant. Also, the interface is so much more snappy and intuitive thanks to GoogleTV.

Great TV!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old Sony TV was 13 years old so ready for a change. Set up was easy and though it is a Google TV, I ended up switching to my Apple TV box. I upgraded my old HDMI cables with 4KHDMI cables made a significant difference. The picture is great and the audio was good for a TV but I installed Klipsch speakers, with a receiver to upgrade the audio. Perfect!

Could not be happier with our choice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect choice for us. The choice of brand was easy since our previous flatscreen was a Sony Bravia that gave us 25 years of trouble free service. After that, I eliminated OLEDs since our viewing room is brightly lit and the OLEDs are not as bright or brilliant. Could not be happier with our choice.

The picture is amazing. Activating my streaming apps was easy. I am very happy that I replaced my old TV with this new one -- which I did because this one enabled me to access some streaming apps not available on the old one. I definitely recommend this model.

Beautiful colors, great features, and has good enough speakers to hear ehats going on without the need to crank up the volume. My only dislike ( which is a preference thing) is the Google TV. I'm a Roku user. But, if I were a Google TV person I'd be in heaven!
