I’m a pretty tech savvy person but in general find the Samsung a bit confusing. For lack of time I have given up and use my fire stick 4k. I love using AirPlay to show my phone photos on the screen. Watching in daylight often picture is too dark and I am not impressed with the sound quality.

Brightness is spot on, no sun glare! The contrast and responses in the set up guide work gray creating uniformity in the view. Thinking of upscale in the bead room next.
The TV itself is excellent for the price, but the remote control's volume adjustment design is extremely frustrating. I understand that there is an app available that allows you to use your phone as a remote, but I would prefer to use the actual remote for this basic function. I've only had the TV for about a week, and the app keeps disconnecting or going offline, which makes relying on it even more frustrating.
The complaint I have is that when switching screens and turning on the screen doesn’t light up at once. The top 25% stays darker for a few seconds longer than the bottom. It did this from the beginning. I’ve only had the TV for 4 months.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
