The picture quality is shockingly sharp—honestly, it’s so clear, it’s like seeing individual pores on the actors’ faces, but in a good way! Setting everything up took a little time, but it was totally worth it. The ethernet port is a huge win, and I might even run a line to it eventually. The photo doesn’t even do the picture justice—no lag whatsoever between apps, which I suspect others may have experienced due to slower internet speeds. I’m running AT&T fiber at 1GB, and Wi-Fi usually hits around 400 Mbps.Now, the remote. It's... odd. It looks like a long, skinny nightstick, but hey, it’s not really a dealbreaker since I’ll be using an Apple TV 4K instead.
Overall, this TV is an incredible value, especially during Black Friday. The picture is crisp, the colors pop, and the price is on point, but the speakers? Yikes. They sound like tin cans, and the FireTV interface is slow to respond with the remote. Plus, the TV settings being intertwined with FireTV limits some customization. Still, I can’t complain for what I paid.

For the price, this TV is an absolute gem! The picture quality is stunning—colors pop and the display is perfect. No freezing, no lag, just smooth streaming. The 55” size is ideal for my small living room; it feels big enough without taking over the space. Setting up was a breeze, and the remote is super easy to use—no complicated buttons or confusing controls.
Now, the sound quality is where I’m torn. For some apps, the sound is fine, but when it comes to Netflix, it’s like the TV decided to get shy. The sound is so quiet I have to crank up the volume to max, which isn't ideal. Looks like I’ll be investing in a soundbar soon to fix that issue.
But overall, I’m super happy with the TV. Picture quality is phenomenal, colors are vivid and bright, and the user interface is quick and responsive—I’m not waiting forever for apps to load. Shipping was lightning fast, and the TV arrived in perfect condition, no scratches or dings. Highly recommend this TV if you’re looking for great value!

The 4K resolution is so crisp, I swear I saw every individual pore on an actor’s face during a close-up—though not sure I needed that much intimacy with my favorite sitcom stars. The colors are so vibrant, it’s like a Pixar movie exploded on my wall, and now I can’t go back to reality. Seriously, the grass on this TV looks greener than my actual lawn, and now I think my grass is just slacking off.
It’s got all the apps you could ever need—Netflix, Disney+, HBO, and like a dozen others I didn’t even know existed. My Roku took one look at this TV, packed its bags, and left because it knew it was obsolete. Also, the remote is so sleek that I lost it in 20 minutes. But hey, that gave me an excuse to try out Samsung’s phone app remote, and guess what? It works like a charm.

The delivery was flawless, and the size? Unbelievable. It's a bit heavy, so I'm glad I work out—setting it up solo was no sweat. The sound is great, and the image quality is beautiful. But here's the kicker: the apps can be a bit glitchy and slow. I bought a YouTube movie yesterday, and it had issues loading about 4-6 times during playback, which was a little annoying.
The remote and the in-phone remote system might be confusing for non-techies, but once you get the hang of it, it’s fine. For around $700 (after taxes and free delivery), this is a steal, and I’m hoping the glitches iron themselves out soon. The remote does feel a little basic compared to fancier models, but it gets the job done. Overall, if you're after a great 4K experience without the hefty price tag, I highly recommend this TV!
