Great TV; Remote is Terrible.

Overall, this TV has a great picture and seems to fit my needs. I would have given it 5 stars, had it not been for the remote. Needs to have buttons for fast forward & rewind, added. This remote makes it VERY awkward to fast forward/rewind recorded content. I still use my firestick to access this content, which means using 2 different remotes!
Bought around Thanksgiving of 2024, 65” qled 4k , have fiddled around with the brightness and contrast adjustments several times. Pictures not as sharp as I expected it to be. Disappointed!

I bought this tv around Black Friday and very pleased with my purchase! The color and clarity is exceptional!!! Love the speakers! They act like surround sound by themselves without a sound bar or subwoofer! Excellent price!!!! Would highly recommend to others to snatch this tv when available!
Rating this 5 out of 5 because overall I'm extremely happy. 1. I bought a phone (S24 Ultra = AWESOME) and was entered into a raffle I didn't know was happening. 2. This wasn't the only thing I won. 3. The newest, nicest tv I had owned was a Samsung 2020 Series 4 (M4500) and wasn't terribly impressed with it. Smart features were unsatisfactory. TV was very slow and bogged down with all kinds of bloatware. By the way, Samsung has recently updated their smart features on the M4500 and my opinion was slowly changing for the better just before this windfall. Aside from initial dissatisfaction with smart features on the M4500, screen glare was another complaint I had. The Q80D takes care of ALL my complaints. Fast, no bloatware, even Samsung TV+ is appealing some of the time. Picture is phenomenal, especially with AI customization and Intelligent mode. Enough ports for me in back that I don't need an adapter to add more. I was using Roku for everything streaming, I use it only for sound now. Sound quality on the Q80D could be better would be the only thing I could say about my new free TV. The only thing that is better than this TV is the smart gaming monitor that I also won. I have to say that's my new favorite.
