My new favorite TV ever...

My ‘high water mark’ for TVs has been our daily driver OLED TV from 2-3 years ago, and an older Plasma from around 2012 I’ve been using in my home office as a secondary PC monitor and to game on. My love of sports and video games has never meshed well with LCD TVs in the past. But that has changed. This TV is fantastic.
To start with, it looks great and stylish. It’s thin—almost as thin as our OLED—and has slim bezels. I am mid refresh in my office currently, so I haven’t been able to mount the TV yet, so I’m using it with the stand which looks nice as well—it’s also heavy and sturdy. As for the picture, some of the reasons I’d preferred OLED and Plasma TVs was black levels and blooming. This TV does both very well thanks in part to the mini LEDs with dimming zones which lead to great black depth and excellent contrast. Out of the box the picture was oversaturated a bit, but after tuning properly the picture is amazing. It honestly has the best color reproduction and black levels I’ve ever had on a TV (that isn’t an OLED). Brightness is…wow. HDR content pops and jumps off the screen.
Gaming. This was one of the biggest reasons I went with this TV was for gaming. It has an HDMI 2.1 port allowing for 120hz/4K gaming (when gaming consoles take advantage of it). Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). It also recognized my PS5 and Xbox automatically and added it to the input and puts the TV in Game Mode automatically when that input is selected—such a nice feature when you’re used to manually turning it on and off with other TVs. Input lag is low to nonexistent. Gaming is judder-free. This TV is providing me a gaming experience that I’ve never had before, it’s amazing and a game changer.
Other more minor things I’ve come to appreciate included being SmartThings ready. I was able to connect it to my smart home set up via the app and did all the initial setup via the SmartThings app, including registering the TV. I can also all my SmartThings scenes on the TV and initiate them via the remote. It also lets you choose which assistant you want to use; I went with Google Assistant as it’s what I use for my smart home setup. There’s even a mic button on the remote. Speaking of the remote, it’s very nice. It’s small, solar chargeable and doesn’t have a ton of buttons on it but has everything I’ve needed.
A tip of the cap to Samsung. This TV is amazing.
