I'm only on day 1 so this review might change. I'm only partially set up so I can stream, but not fully (DVD, sound bar, antenna, Roku box). POSITIVE: picture is VERY good; As a bonus, I can play YouTube videos via the YouTube tv app.; Also sound is decent via internal speakers, but I intend to us my (ZVox dialog cleanup) sound bar when TV installed fully. NEGATIVE: The home screen interface is like visiting a whorehouse (just guessing) - a terrible amount of clutter and junk recommendations you can't get rid of. If you don't believe me search the web for complaints about the tizen home screen interface - there are lots. I have 45 years of sw engineering experience so I'm tech literate. I also don't particularly like the remote - weird buttons which are like a combo button/joystick-like. Has a learning curve. Some of my Roku TV apps are available (BritBox, PBS, Prime Video) as native tizen apps, BUT NOT ALL - e.g. the kanopy (video via local library) app not available. So... I knew about interface woes. But since I like the Roku interface 100 times better, I've ordered a Roku box to make Roku my interface - many articles recommend doing this or Fire TV etc. Roku hasn't arrived yet but since I am replacing a Roku TV I have high hopes. Good to know... I grabbed a 7 year old Samsung remote and tried it - it seems to work fine, so the same Samsung IR command set is being used. Much better button layout on older remote. Even better news, I have a universal remote that can be programmed. So it will surely support this TV IR command set (and my DVD player, soundbar, etc). So bottom line - I like this TV but will use the Roku interface to make it better and also use a better remote. I knew these issues going in to purchase.

I will start off with saying that this TV is impossibly thin measuring less than 1.5 inches mounted to the wall. I have pictures that hang farther off the wall seriously. The picture quality is crisp and bright. Bright enough even during the day with sun shining in. Build quality is top notch, it’s Samsung what do you expect. The price is more than fair TVs have been getting cheaper and cheaper and it’s great. Setup was a breeze just sign in and it was quick and painless. The TV easily recognized my XBOX and Nintendo Switch and switches automatically. Turns on and off with the devices if desired. Comes with a neat tiny little solar powered remote, yes solar no batteries to replace. Overall this is a premium experience from a great brand.

Easy to set up and get started, everything is shown on screen with voice prompts to get going, you will need an existing Samsung account to be able to access some of the apps or you can start one right there off the prompt screen. The picture and color on this TV is amazing, the best I have seen on a TV screen to date, the sound is nice and clear, but I went ahead and hooked it up to my sound system anyway. The on screen menus are nicely laid out and stuff is easy to find and navigate through. This does come with legs but not with wall mounting accessories. I am more than happy with it and so far have not encountered any problems with the features I have used.

Slim, lightweight set with a great picture and lots of flexibility. No problem setting it up though an internet connection is advised. Easy to use -- the solar-recharge remote makes battery swaps a thing of the past. Sound is on par with other sets; I wish it was front-firing but in terms of quality, it's fine. Plenty of HDMI and two USB connections available. Very happy with this as a main TV in my living room!
