" ... Wow, this is an awesome TV!!! ... I personally have never had a bad Samsung TV until I tried to get this one. ... "
" ... Amazingly this TV, and it sounds like many other Samsung TV's, now have the single wire connection that runs to a box that connects to your devices. ... "
" ... It comes with the one connect box, which is a great feature. ... you can then plug all of your other devices (apple TV, dvd player, Xbox etc) into the one connect box and not need to have them near or plugged into the TV (this is how you are able to mount it flat onto the wall). ... "
" ... The fact that it was easy to hook my pc to, easy to set up all of my apps with, it will airplay from my other devices and the cord really does kinda disappear, also I guess I could paint the cord if I wanted it to match perfectly. ... "
" ... Other than that, I love this TV. ... "
" ... You will need a place to put the smart hub box. ... "
" ... An outstanding TV. ... "

" ... Second is the remote . ... "
" ... I've only 2 gripes with this product: 1:the free art gallery is not that large 2: The remote is a beautiful design and feels great in your hand but the Bixby voice feature is hit or miss. ... "
" ... It walks you through a short 4-step setup process, calibrates the Smart Remote and even teaches you how to use the Art Mode vs. 4k Smart TV settings. ... "
" ... Second is the remote . ... "
" ... I decided on this model after comparing features: my wish list 1) easy to use, I remember using the old school TV with no remote! ... This model has a smart remote and voice assistance feature that makes it really easy to use. ... "

" ... We waited for the price to come down on the 65 inch version and then happily bought it. ... I am the kind of person who walks into Best Buy and all the screens look the same. ... Despite this, it still serves my original purpose of having a clean look with some attractive art in place of a black screen. ... Even with the recent price drop, you are paying about $1000 extra for this type of setup compared to similar screen quality TVs. ... "
" ... The screen image quality is second to none. ... "
" ... If you absolutely want it you can get art from the store or you can even put your own photos up on the screen. ... "
