Very good tv
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This samsung tv is one of the if not best tv i ever owned the color the brightness everything pops this is a very good tv for my Xbox series x i never seen a tv with so much color a good tv for gaming with hdmi 2.1 and vrr i got a good deal for the tv because it was open box but the one bad thing about this tv is how i got the screen the screen has alot streaks and residue also the tv has minimal dse and some small black dots but not bad i told geek squad about the screen they came and took a look at it they where able to remove most of residue and streaks but some marks still won't come off but the screen looks alot better now that's the reason i did not give this tv a perfect score but i bought a geek squad protection plan because of the condition of the tv being open box i recommend this tv even though how the screen was but it does not effect the tv picture quality and performance.

A Solid 4k TV for decent Price
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this TV for a few months now so I feel confident to write a fair review. Overall I was able to get this TV as an Open Box and I believe it was a steal. I would highly recommend this TV to anyone looking for an excellent product for a pretty high price.

Qled for my situational win!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Tv is perfect for our bedroom because it faces direct sunlight during the day. The 4k picture colors are rich, accurate and the blooming isnt that bad but there is some. Blacks are very inky and with some adjustment it can look similar to Oled. Of course I'll be the first to admit Oled has the market on the best picture but they haven't figured out how to make it brighter than 1100 nits consistently. Qled can rock 1800 to 2000 nits brightness no problem thou. I recommend this Tv for bright rooms in general or overall use for sure. (I am a samsung fan for the longest but will admit and concede to certain qualities that make other brands have an edge like Lg, Sony having Dolby vision etcs.. But I will not be a nearsighted fanboy like others....)

Great TV if not for Dead Pixels
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It *could* be an absolutely flawless TV, if there weren't dead pixels on each set that I've gotten. First one had a line of dead pixels in the center, replaced it for a second TV that was damaged by UPS during shipping, the current (third) TV I've received has a few dead pixels slightly off center but still very noticeable in bright/flat colored areas. I am using this TV as a PC monitor but having dead pixels is absolutely unacceptable especially considering the price. Once you've noticed a series of dead pixels, you can never un-see it, tarnishing the entire experience. Really wish Samsung had better quality control. The TV is phenomenal otherwise.

You can turn HDR off if you are using a device like a Roku. ^Val
