Inky Blacks, Incredible…

A truly beautiful television, from its design and build quality to the gorgeous display, to its integration with other Samsung devices. A real win for Samsung. Delivery was on time , professional, and appropriately socially-distanced. Box was very sturdy, and the screen, along with its accessories were all packed very securely inside. I was easily able to position the set on a soft surface by myself, and to attach the sturdy middle-mount base by myself. There were just four screws, and I had it together within minutes. Though I was able to lift the set by myself to put it on the shelf, it would probably be better to have a helper for that step, and definitely if you're going to be wall-mounting. There are a few well-thought-out channels/grooves molded into the back of the set through which the power cord can be routed so it is flush/hidden entirely. The base of the stand also includes a plastic shroud that the wire can be routed through so it's completely hidden.
The controller is deceptively simple in design, but incredibly functional. There are unobtrusive buttons for the most-popular streaming services, including Samsung TV Plus. It also has a built-in battery that recharges via -- get this-- ambient light. That's right, no more replacing batteries. The microphone button gives you one-touch access to any of the *three* digital voice assistants available on this TV ( Amazon's Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung's own Bixby). Oh...if you don't want to use the included controller, you can also perform all of these operations from your Samsung phone.
Initial system updates were extremely quick over wifi, and I was able to connect my streaming accounts within a few minutes using the linking codes shown on the TV. Right after that, I was sampling gorgeous 4k video streams for the next couple hours. The wifi reception on this set seems really good. I have it located two rooms away from the router (that's four walls in between) and on youtube videos it would hold streams of 130+mbit/sec without any buffering or stuttering video. It is truly a joy.
The blacks on this display are very inky, and the brightness is simultaneously impressive. I will be attaching my Xbox One X for some gaming tonight, and perhaps i'll update my review then. Did I mention there are *four* HDMIi ports, including a HDMI 2.1 port? This thing is future-proof, and I'm in love. Definitely recommend you pick one up.
