" ... It's really an amazing TV and QLED is the truth in gaming and picture quality. ... "
" ... For us, picture is king, so the 4K QLED really was the right choice. ... The slim bezel means the picture goes right to the edge, so it seems even bigger. ... "
" ... - I see amazing picture quality, great interface and I personally like this Samsung remote and audio ... I don't see any problems, the picture still perfect. ... "
" ... The picture is crystal clear in high def. ... "
" ... The picture quality is great, not the best-as the name implies it is a QLED and not an OLED. ... "
" ... The picture is excellent in front but if you get too far to the side it starts to degrade. ... "
" ... On the plus side, it looks nice and the picture quality is way up there. ... "
" ... You will have to play around with the picture settings to get the best quality but what I found to be the best is to use the "standard" picture setting for watching cable TV and using the "PC" mode for gaming. ... Switch your picture setting to Dynamic and you should be good to go!! ... Picture looks great(again after a little tweaking). ... "

" ... The included remote controls everything - even the cable box. ... The remote did all the required configuration to control everything without us having to enter codes and verifying it works. ... "
" ... On to the Smart Remote, which is our 2nd favorite thing. ... We can control our devices from just the one (albeit, small) remote because of the Invisible Connection feature. ... "
" ... The smart remote controls all of your devices like Xbox and Satellite receivers as well . ... Having only one remote is very nice! ... "
" ... love the voice control on the remote, fast recognition. ... "
" ... One thing I feared was how remote controls have changed. ... The Samsung smart remote calmed those fears right away. ... It's the easiest, most intuitive, remote control I've owned. ... I no longer have to rely on my phone or tablet, I can literally control all my entertainment from one remote. ... "
" ... The remote is easy and user friendly. ... "
" ... Easy to set up, cool remote, good picture. ... "
" ... The tv is super thin and light, and the remote is tiny and modern as well. ... Additionally, we were able to sync everything up this time so we no longer need 3 remotes like we did with that big clunky Sony. ... "

" ... When I saw the first commercial for the Samsung QLED 4K Smart TVs featuring this "Quantum Dot color technology" i was super excited so i finally made a move and bought it. ... "
" ... So far in my opinion everything I play on it 4k Streaming off Netflix or Amazon to a 4k UHD disc playing through my Xbox One X seems to explode in beautiful colors, deep black, and beautiful images. ... Netflix and Amazon have great free with membership 4k and most of Netflix Originals if not all are available in 4k. ... Also Netflix seems more committed to HD HDR vice 4K or 4k HDR streaming. ... Anyhow all the 4k gear in the world and you'll run out of 4k stuff to watch real fast. ... It does a excellent job of up scaling artifact free HD to 4k. ... Anyhow great TV and if you have the devices hooked up to get 4k media its all the much better. ... "
" ... Added on: the digital audio out is good, streaming movies very good - the settings for the Q8 model from rtings are better than the Q7, I put in the Q8 settings and it looks fantastic ... "
" ... When I finished setting it up I got on YouTube via the apps and pulled up Iceland, Hawaii and Israel 4k videos under the content tab and watched for hours . ... 4k and X do not disappoint at all . ... It's really an amazing TV and QLED is the truth in gaming and picture quality. ... "
