Awesome Image; limited HDMI ports
on February 12, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am coming from a lovely VIZIO E-Series E500d-A0 which stopped working after my son's basketball hit its glass. I was spoiled by its four HDMI ports, and the option to watch 3D movies with my family, which we enjoyed very much! So somehow, I knew that I was going in for disappointment on these two specific areas with this Samsung TV; however, I had high expectations on the so called "Samsung" type of an image that everybody talks about. I only had a chance to compare the images in stores but after seeing so many models your eyes tend to see all TVs the same.
The recent Best Buy Super Bowl special brought the price down to the $570 neighborhood and I had to make a move when I saw one being sold in an open box at $440. I was a little bit nervous on buying this open box TV but after watching for a week I call tell you that this deal was a real touch down!
The image on this TV is simply awesome. I don’t know what Samsung does but the image has a type of oil-painting crystal appearance that makes it so much distinct. I did not fully see the difference in store, but I immediately noticed when I brought it home and put it in the living room, at same place where our 3D Vizio TV used to be. My wife and kids were also baffled by how much better the image was in comparison the Vizio and they talk about it all the time.
One of the recent reviewers said that “they need time for the eyes to adjust" and I fully concur with that statement. Quite honestly, sometimes it is a little bit scary how realistic the image gets, like on ABC/NBC/FOX weather news reporters, as they stand in front of the weather background, it seems like at any moment they will step out of the TV and walk right into your living room! It’s creepy scary!
Bottom line, trading the 3D feature for a better image was hands down well worth it. As for the limited HDMI outputs, I have an HDMI A/V receiver at home, so I am using its pass-thru feature to connect all my other devices (Blue Ray, FireTV, XBox). It works well for me but I know that not everybody has HDMI A/V Receivers so the 2 HDMI ports can become a real letdown.
Regarding the SmartTV features which some have said to be slow, I confess that I have not used it much but the little I used (Netflix) worked just fine to my expectations. Anyways, this is not a deal breaker for me since I use FireTV for smart TV features.
Now I am thinking with myself, "if the image on this 1080p Samsung TV looks that good, imagine how a 4K Samsung would look like in my living room?” Well, for that I will wait for a few years until the 4K price tags lowers a little bit more. Maybe by that time the market will also have more options for 4K content delivery, which at this moment seems to be still pretty limited.
