Beautiful picture vivid colors
This is as advertised , beautiful picture , dolby vision,sound is great. Nice and sleek easy to connect , and it’s ready to go..My TV is right by the window. So even with my blinds down in the morning, you can see a glare. Which is pretty common on all OLED, not a game changer for me.The size is perfect for my living room.. As far as gaming goes , I have to wait until my grandson comes over.

Great TV for the Price and Excellent Seller Engagement
TV is great. The picture is amazing, and the sound is great. We did have a problem with FedEx shipping, but the seller was great to work with and offered a discount due to Fed Ex delays even though it was not their fault. I love that the remote uses Alexa voice and I can just speak what show I want to watch. The WIFI connectivity was quick and easy. Many thanks to Laurie and Rita Mae!!

Great tv, won’t dissapoint.
Ordered the tv yesterday, came this am, earlier than I thought! Had to assemble the stand to the tv, directions could be a little better, but figured it out. After mounting the stand, the tv really does need 2 people to put on a stand/dresser. Probably weights about 48 pounds and is awkward to move for one person. There is no manual. Plugged it in, set up the wifi and off and running. I followed a few youtube videos how to calibrate the tv. Glad I did, the live pictures are amazing, the colors are so vivid. I am looking forward to streaming a 4k video, but otherwise the detail is fantastic. In all fairness I do own an earlier version of this tv which is also excellent. The speakers are so good, I may return the soundbar I ordered. I keep this tv in the family room and usually I am the only one watching it for sports. I had a few questions on setup, thank goodness for AI to help out.

Picture quality is unmatched!
Excellent color. As well as the darks being dark. Pretty easy to setup and operate. Comes with several channels and the quality is top notch. I’d buy this tv again!

Good TV – Bad Remote
I really like the television, all in all. It’s got a great image and sound. However, the AI garbage you are shoving down our throats is completely unnecessary and adds to the cost. But worst of all is the mouse-like cursor pointer from the remote. Even after I lowered the sensitivity and increased the size, its too hard to use, and it can’t be permanently disabled. I am perfectly happy clicking on the outer ring to move through menues. Why can’t I disable the pointer? As I get older my hands shake more and using this remote is a pain in the butt. Yes, I can momentarily “turn it off” by clicking the ring, but it takes me to seemingly random positions on the screen, and I have to do it repeatedly through the evening. Please give us a way to turn it off.

Real Review. Real Person. Real Owner.
Incredible television. Such an upgrade from a 15+ year old Sony, which was a great TV.Set Up was a snap. No issues at all. Picture quality is amazing. We are not gamers so we cannot comment on that. Roku was easily recognized. Now just one remote to control it all. SONOS sound bar set up was also a breeze. There is an HDMI port clearly marked for external speakers.WIfe and I are enjoying movie nights, Sunday Football, and all other shows.If you are on the fence with this one, get it. One of Consumer Reports best televisions of 2025.

I’m In Love!!!
Very happy with the TV. After adjusting the settings to my liking I must say I’m very impressed with the picture quality. In SDR it’s pretty good but in HDR it’s amazing! Watching a movie in HDR feels almost 3D with the details and depth that you get. Daytime watching in a pretty bright room and the TV holds up well but of course shines in a dark room. Of course the TV itself looks great with it’s thin bezels and just thin overall compared to backlit TV it replaced. It’s definitely an expensive choice but if you can afford it you won’t be disappointed.

This OLED is a Must-Purchase.
I know it is expensive, but you will not regret this. This is my first OLED TV and the experience is truly night and day. I have never seen a thinner TV as well. The remote control feels solid, and although the buttons are in odd places, it is very easy getting used to. Setting up the TV was also very easy. A big reason I purchased this was for the picture quality, but also since my previous TV was quite laggy while using the remote. This TV though, no lag whatsoever. It is so fast. The integrated speakers are also quite impressive. Although I do recommend a sound bar for any viewing experience, the integrated speakers do a great job for the sound quality.
