I'm older, but I've *always* been a "manual" guy. I want to read my instructions and not have to be intuitive on trying to figure out my remote.
That's one of the issues I have with most products these days, saving paper in the interests of "saving the planet" (don't get me started on that...), but I digress.
I/We haven't been able to fine tune the picture on this set, which is supposed to be steps above the crystal display. That's my/our main frustration with the set.
The size is virtually perfect for our viewing space. We enjoy the free channels Samsung provides. Picture quality and variations between sources and channels -- all allegedly high-quality resolution -- is frustrating. I wish there was a simple way to equalize these settings. Even a Samsung-produced video on subjects like this would be helpful (if you won't give me my 'stinkin' manual,' that is).
Back to that remote, my larger fingers frequently hit one of the proprietary buttons below the volume bar, switching away from what we're watching and requiring a less-than-instantaneous scramble to return to what we were watching (typically at a critical moment, of course).
Typically like and appreciate the Samsung line. Picture quality is frustrating. Searching for a solution is frustrating. The remote is a little bit too tiny. Would appreciate a written manual. Other than that, we're happy.
After hours of research and reading countless reviews I chose the Q80D and I can't be happier!! This was the largest tv I've ever purchased but the quality and color from this TV is amazing!! It will need calibration to get the best picture quality, so keep that in mind. Don't hesitate to purchase if this tv is on your list.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tv from Samsung is unlike any other. The quality and the picture detail is amazing. This with the sound system i got make movie nights super special.
