Great picture quality

We love the color and brightness of the screen. The picture is very real…. Feels like you could walk right into the scene. However, the sound is annoying. While watching, the sound will get real loud, then get soft. That was one reason we got rid of our old ZtV.
This is the best tv I have ever owned. My other two TV’s are Sony 4K and have great pictures but this Samsung QLED is much better. I also like how it connected with the 5.1.2 Samsung Sound Bar. Finally, I like how it comes on when entering the room ready for viewing.
Samsung recently replaced my TV (it was having serious issues) that was 2 years old and replaced it with a newer model. Wow this new TV is absolutely amazing, it has more bells and whistles than the original TV had. I am 110% satisfied with it. The Samsung support team is premier in their ability to make the customer happy.
This is my second Samsung LED TV. My first one worked perfectly those years until a power surge. This TV has user setting problems confirmed by an internet search, First: Intermittently when first turned on, the picture is stuck in a small square in the upper left corner. Turning the TV off then back on resolves this problem. Second: Using the “Settings” button to adjust the brightness has little to no effect on the brightness. To get the expected response to the brightness number, I need to go to the main home menu then exit for the adjustment to take affect. Third: Pressing the main menu home button stops the picture and sound, shows all optional settings, and it’s not obvious what menu is going to be adjusted until you start using the direction keys. Fourth: All but the “Standard” picture mode presents a picture that won’t reproduce skin tones that are real. Even then, some “red” colors flash when moving in the video (eg. auto brake lights when the camera is panning). Fifth: When turning on the TV in a dark or low light room, the picture flashes a blinding white light for a second. Sixth: The brightness level is barely adjustable and too bright in the darkest room.
