Customers praise the 75" Class LED MU9000 Series 4K UHD TV for its superb picture quality, with many saying it is the best they have ever seen. The large screen size is also a hit, with customers saying it is perfect for their wall and that it dramatically highlights the quality and color features. However, there are some concerns about screen issues, with a few customers reporting that the screen began to get vertical gray lines.
One thing to always keep in mind as you are shopping for your next TV is, while at the store you may notice a few differences but in your home, you're only looking at one TV! That said, I am replacing a 10 year old Samsung LN502A650 which treated me very well. I plugged it in and played my content and was often complimented on the quality of picture it produced regardless of what we were watching. I will say, i have a simple set up where I use an over the air antenna for live TV coupled with APPLE TV 4k for streaming services.. This TV is aesthetically pleasing and equally impressive when it comest to picture quality. I also have not had to play around with all the different picture settings to find the right one. The X900e was a very nice TV however here are a few reasons why it was returned after 4 weeks of viewing. I had to review several YouTube Videos to "calibrate" the TV and even after a few hours, the RED's in some movies looked like a BRIGHT orange. When watching NCAA the Syracuse Basketball team's uniform also looked NEON Orange. AUDIO-If you have a surround sound system and want the option to listen via the TV speakers, you have to manually go in and change the speaker setting on the X900e from "AUDIO" to "TV SPEAKERS." If you are watching TV and want to switch to your surround sound, you have to go in the tv menu and manually change it back to "Audio Speakers." With the Samsung, once i turn on my surround sound, it automatically detects and pushes out the DD sound. While I mostly use my Apple TV, the Android App store in the Sony is much better than the Samsung APPs. However the Android TV on the Sony would often freeze and become non responsive (known issue check out CNET review on x900e) and that just added to my frustrations. In summary, both TV's are great but for ME the Samsung was clearly the better choice. The image attached is an OTA image in a very bright room.

The picture and features are phenomenal. The only issues that I have found is that sometimes my connection gets disconnected or interrupted frequently from the remote to the tv... I'm not if its a bluetooth issue or what. But other than that, great purchase!

This seems to be a problem with Samsung TVs across their entire spectrum of TVs. I started with a 6000 series that I ended up filing a claim with Samsung for blotches of light on the screen. Samsung took that TV back after 2 months of phone calls and follow ups. Being a Samsung loyalist, I figured that that the problem would just be in their lower models, and bought a 9000 series. This TV not only has blotches of light on the screen, but also has vertical light banding. I'll be taking the steps to get this replaced with another TV, in the hopes that this is just some crazy coincidence. I've been to a few different forums about this topic, and the problem seems to be across the board. Not sure if they sell a TV that doesn't have this problem. This is the first time I wouldn't recommend a Samsung product to a friend.
