This TV was bought out of a choice of 3 TVs. We narrowed it down to which picture looked the best. Samsung won hands down. Got it home and didn't realize it would allow me to play music from my computer and my phone. Also did not realize you could download games and play them on the tv. Pleasantly surprises.
This unit replace an older 57" HD TV. Didn't realized how poor the picture was on the older unit. This TV was made to watch sports on. Great picture with great features. Colors seem to jump off the screen and some video almost appears to be 3D. Controls are good and it's very easy to change the input source. Setup was very easy and very impressed with the wireless WiFi.
After 10 years of watching a 42" Plasma, this is nice. It was tough to give up my plasma because it cost twice as much 10 years ago than this 65" LED. I was looking for something large to fit above my fireplace and this fit perfect. Found one for a great price. I am not into apps on TV, so I was originally looking for a non Smart TV, to get a lower price....but those are harder to find. Has many setings which can take days to play with and find the right picture you like. A/V hooks were a big decision maker. I use 3 connections for cabIe, DVD, & video game system. I also use digital audio output through the optical connection which was a big plus for stereo sound. There are a few other A/V connection chioces as well. All the connections I need had to be on the right side (viewing side) which was where my cables came in from the wall, and this one did. Remote is nice and a must need to run apps and change settings, but I mainly use my Universal to control all my equipment for normal stuff.
Within a couple weeks I did have half the screen go black. I called support who was very helpful and it started working again on its own while we played with it. We ran self diagnostics anyway and everything checked out. We left open an issue ticket in case it happens again, but no issues since (knock on wood).
No cons I can come up with. This TV brings a movie type feeling into my living room. Great movies, sports, and video game imaging. If the TV makes me and my kids happy, it is a winner....oh yeah, and the wife too.
My last 3 TVs were another brand and I could not be happier that I chose Samsung this time. Great TV and very happy with the picture, ease of set up, and over all experience. Would recommend and will to all I talk to about it.
I absolutely love this TV, it replaced a 60" Panasonic plasma damaged in a fire and the difference between a 60" screen and a 65" screen is amazing. Picture is sharper and brighter and love the whold SmartTV thing. An excellent value for the price, would recommend to anyone.
I am happy with this TV for the price I paid. It's a good TV but it has its flaws such as the volume, which I expected to be better, the App store is very limited since they don't have access to Google store. The browser is not as good as Google TV, kind of slow, but the picture quality is great. I use it with my Home theater and it makes the night for a great movie night or sports with friends over. The support (remote support from a TV app) I got was excellent with people that know their job , well done. They helped me out with the settings from the very first day!!!
