The picture might look great but everything else about this TV is bad.
The Smart part of this TV from the start has been nothing but trouble but now its been updated if you call it that to a Yahoo interface that has made it even more buggy & crash Happy sometimes requiring you to unplug the TV to reset it. It looses permission & login info all the time so almost every time I fire up HBO Go it requires me to reactivate the TV.
Then even worse is now that its been outsourced to Yahoo its been throwing up advertisements. I did not buy this TV and all my non advertisement subscription services just to be in grossed in a Game of Thrones episode and have the aspect ratio shift to the right so that a yahoo add can pop on the left requiring me to hunt for the controller to turn it off.
Also the Active 3D gives most the people that have tried it on my TV a headache when passive does not bother them. So if 3D is something your looking for you might want to find a place that will let you test it for at least 1/2 hour to see if you can stand the flickering of the glasses. I can typically get through one movie doing it every now and then but the whole time I get a slight strobe light effect.
Not so smart "smart TV" . I would not recommend this TV because the apps it has fail all the time and I am angry that my smart TV runs like cowflop. Slow reaction time with software and apps that fail me left and right and the worst part is that I can't just load the ones I want. eg. chrome instead of the pore excuse for a web browser that will not load what I want and crashes all the time. As a computers systems engineer I would say Go buy a samsung that is not smart and hook up a computer to it.
I always wanted to a LED tv and when I had the chance to get this one I jumped at it . This Tv was worth every penny the picture is very vivid and clear. all the apps that it offers and all the different features that comes with it blows me away . I have received several complements about the size and picture .
I am super impressed with my Samsung UN65H7150AFXZATV I own a previous model in a 55" and since I got this one I have also ordered a 75" model for my parents. The TV is Slim, Sleak, Very low profile and the picture is amazing. For anyone looking to upgrade or replace a TV I highly recommend this TV.
First off let me start by saying I LOVE SAMSUNG PRODUCTS!! I'll start with the biggest and only CON: With that being said, I've been very disappointed with the "Smart" functionality of this TV. I had read reviews that warned of the "Smart" functionality being less than stellar. I figured some people just like to complain and that I'll just see for myself. Well I'd be lying if I didn't say that I should have believed the reviews. I was really hoping that the "Smart" functions would work flawless and I would be able to use this TV as the hub for all of my entertainment. Let's just say you can't. The "Smart" features are useable 1/50 times if that. You try to access Netflix and it trys to load and then goes back to regular TV. You try to use Amazon Prime Instant Video - same thing..... I'm not sure where the issue lies and to be honest I haven't had time to call and trouble shoot. Based on some of the other reviews I've read this seems like a common issue and one I don't want to waste my time on. I keep hoping for a software update that will fix these issues, but again I read that won't be happening. I have been tempted to return the TV and try another model, I just don't want to spend an extra $500 and possibly have this same issue arise. I may just spend the $40 and get a Amazon Fire Stick and move along. PRO: The picture is great! It's bright and vivid and beautiful. If the rest of the TV wasn't so nice I can say I would send it back. The Speakers are surprisingly loud as well. I was fully expecting to need to get a sound bar but was pleasantly met with loud crisp sound coming from the set. For all the people who have read reviews about the "Smart" features being horrible - believe them. IF you're not too concerned about that then this TV is the way to go!
TV views well from straight ahead, but doesn't have very wide viewing angle, and has quite a bit of glare in bright rooms. Overall, a good TV, although I haven't been able to access Netflix and a few other apps on the hub.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: small view angle, screen glare in bright room
