I received my tv in the middle of December 2014 ,and I have been nothing but satisfied with the performance of it since the start. The picture is very vivid and life like and i"m only receiving it on a normal antenna and I love the fact that it"s a smart TV because of the bilt in WI FI i"m able to get netflix and you tube directly through my TV and i"v been playing alot of you tube music videos which sounds wonderful on it.
I love my Samsung TV. The picture has brilliant color.
Design features that should be changed: The feet on the TV should be black not silver. Takes away from the look of the design. The feet should not be so tall. It should sit lower on the table.
Image quality is really good, almost as good as my previous plasma for rich darks and motion not quite as good, but still good. Online loading of Netflix, etc., is very fast. "Universal" remote is NOT universal.. you need the ir module permanently in front of the unit you want to control, so only one unit can be controlled. and you have this ugly module in front of your cable box, or DVD or whatever. I finally ended up connecting the Samsung Blueray directly to a TV HDMI input and I used the Samsung Anynet control, which works fine. "Universal" remote control setup doesn't recognize my Onkyo TXSR608 home theater system, I tried all the codes. DLNA ability playing files from my PC via LAN cable is buggy.. Samsung tech told me it doesn't fully support Windows 7 64 bit. Some mp3 music files refuse to play. He suggested dl and install of Allshare software. It works, but doesn't recognize existing play lists in Windows Media player or in Media Monkey player. Also, you have to create playlists in the software and choose what you want to view on the PC first.. it isn't really a DLNA type setup.
Pros: Realistic color, nice setup for internet
Cons: Did not meet expectations, no real universal remote, dlna not very good
