Really impressed by QLED!

Our family living room has a 55 inch, 2018 model year OLED TV that we've enjoyed for many years now. Going from a regular LCD TV at the time to OLED was a massive upgrade, and it's hard to imagine how much better things could have improved?
Installation is really easy after fitting the base to the TV. All connections to the TV go through the connectivity box included which means you can put that on a shelf on your AV stand. Then a single cable from that goes to your TV and keeps everything neat.
Getting the TV up and running and set up with Satellite tuning takes only a few minutes using the on screen instructions and QR code. I prefer certain settings with my TVs with how colours and motion look so I spent some time on YouTube with 8K and 4K HDR videos as well as movie trailers to get things exactly the way I want.
First impressions were just how BRIGHT this thing was. It's over and above my 2018 OLED in terms of brightness and on par with a flagship OLED we have in another room.
It took me a few goes to get my settings to "stick" as a few of the quick and easy TV modes will set things back to defaults, but with a bit of trial and error I got the hang of what I could and couldn't change without it changing other settings. I'm not a fan of motion processing and I quite like film grain so some of those advanced settings I turned off entirely. However some of the automatic HDR and colour/contrast settings are definitely worth having on so there's enough in there to be really precise about how you want things to be set up. And if you just want to go with some "out of the box" settings then those are really easy to use.
One thing that was immediately obvious was how much better the sound was over our old OLED TV. There is significantly more body to the sound and arguably you dont HAVE to go and buy a soundbar for this TV, unless you really want one.
I can honestly say that the Samsung QLED looks amazing, and is a big upgrade over our older OLED TV. As a living room TV it makes the cartoons the kids watch on YouTube look fantastic, and then when switching to our streaming service apps that we installed directly from the Smart TV features, those look brilliant too.
Samsung Neo QLED 8K has been a massive upgrade to our living room viewing. I tend to keep living room TVs for 5-10 years at a time and this has us covered for a long time to come with the 8K screen and every other modern feature you want. Buy with confidence!
