It is so smooth, and playing video games on it was amazing! The picture was clean and clear, it has a high refresh rate so everything felt like it was just perfectly gliding.
Watching movies on it is also absolutely perfect. It feels like being at the movie theater but with a smaller screen. The sound is very clear, but we had to turn it up quite a lot on streaming services, compared to Youtube or Blu-ray disks. For youtube/Blu-ray being at 20% volume was perfect or even just slightly loud, but on streaming services we had to crank it up to 50%. That’s not really a fault in the TV itself, but something to keep in mind while using it!
The remote is extremely responsive, especially compared to our old tv that was starting to lag a lot even with fresh batteries.
For the quality of this tv, the price seems so cheap. I cant believe the deal we got for this! A+ for this tv!

Out of the box, relatively simple set up. No difficulty to speak of. If I had to estimate the time involved – about 15minutes. While if you’re like me, with replacing a moderately ‘older’ set. Like anything, you’ll need to get yourself acquainted with. As this has many options built in that my previous did not.
I’ve purposely held off on reviewing as I wanted to get a good feel prior. I’ve had the set in use for about 4 weeks now. It’s in our front room, which tends to be the gathering area for my family as it’s closest to the kitchen! I am completely comfortable using, have become accustomed to the buttons on the remote, and overall know my way around the interface. Hubby not so much, but that’s totally normal around here!
The picture quality is amazing. I’ve shared a few pics for you. It’s extremely realistic, true to life. With built in screen adjustment the easily adapts to rooms with full light coming in. Such a pleasure as the room it’s in is primarily full light throughout daylight hours. To the point I previously would have needed to keep my window coverings partially closed.
The quality of sound with auto adjustment will blow you away. Easily theatre quality in a large main room. Personally I do not feel there’s any need for additional sound bar or speakers.
Everything you need, think you need or may require in the future. It’s all there, at your fingertips a couple clicks away. Easily maneuver through multiple apps, bounce between tons of free shows and movies from your childhood. It comes with Samsung TV Plus which was a first for us and I’m loving it. It’s a free streaming service with over 350 channels. We’ve found so many shows I thought were lost forever. Quite impressive Samsung. Additionally Smart Hub makes controlling all the much smarter than me devices in my home easily accessible. Alexa is built in and I’ve also noticed I’m able to have the tv sound come through my Echo Show which is kind of cool when I’m in the kitchen cooking. If gaming is your thing, no worries as it’s all there as well.
Overall I am so pleased and truly enjoying our new tv. As I mentioned above, I hadn’t really given much thought to our set being outdated at 8 years old. But Wow, what an amazing difference this has made for our tv time.

The Dolby Atlas motion tracking makes it seem as the voices or sounds are coming from that part of the screen which to me is ground breaking! It has a decent amount of amplification so unless your an audiophile you don’t need extra speakers.
The ports are plentiful with 4 HDMI and 2 USB so you can hook your favorite devices up with no issues.
It connects to Alexa allowing to to vocally control all settings. The remote requires NO BATTERIES as it is solar. Just leave it on the coffee table and when you turn a light on in the room or the sun shines it charges.
It is very easy to operate, stream your favorite channels, hop on the internet and even project from your smartphone in a matter of seconds.
The refresh rate is more than accommodating especially for a unit boasting all these features and then some at such a great price!
Samsung has been at this for a long time and has some of the best imagery and sound out there. If you are wondering if you should pull the trigger on this I am telling you to wonder new more. You will be happy.
Warning!! You will get addicted and spoiled to watching this great unit!!

My opinion there is a manufacture defect on center pedestal. 55 inch heavy TV cannot hold up on this light plastic. Pedestal was installed per instructions.
Bad Problem: TV toppled over cabinet. Bottom plastic frame cracked. Pedestal cracked in half. I’m very unhappy on this cheap pedestal. Making plans returning TV.
