I have owned this TV now for about 2 months and change and overall am very impressed. In contrast, I purchased several TV's prior to this model ultimately returning them for one reason or another (cumbersome setup, poor interface, image quality, poor sound, low value for money). Some review points on this model:
*Image Quality: Very good. I don't give "perfect" ratings effusively, but 5/5 here. Compared to my previous models, none of which were OLED, this TV has really nice black scene contrast that you can really appreciate out of the box. I did not have to do much in the way of calibration. The room it is in is a typical family room with above average natural light, no windows pointing toward the screen directly. TV is setup in the corner of the room on wall mount.
*Angle Viewing: With corner mount, we have been able to assess viewing angle, which again is 5/5. The advertised wide viewing angle is completely justified here and from all angels of our room the image clarity is the same as looking straight on, zero degradation.
*Super thin: I felt a little bit apprehensive about handling the TV to get it mounted. The screen is so thin! the base of the unit where the speakers are is a little thicker. My advice, follow instructions on where to hold the TV as it really does help and will make sure you don't damage it by holding the wrong area. Looks great and really light compared to my other LED and LCD models in the house.
*C9 processor is snappy. The webOS interface is nice and quick. Again here, a significant upgrade compared to my Samsung LED model and Sony LED model. Apps load quickly with significantly less lag time than my Samsung TV (less than five years old).
*The integrated apps are limited, so we do use a Roku Ultra over the native interface because Roku has ALL of our apps (see my review on Roku Ultra).
*Native apps in webOS such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video will support Dolby Vision/Dolby Atmos, which will give you the highest-quality audio and video.
*Sound: The built in speakers for this model are quite good. The bar has been lowered by the industry in general on flat and thin screen TV's and I was simply expecting to again consider a sound bar or center channel speaker to augment the TV sound, but I was pleasantly surprised here. Rich sound, nice bass to round out a well balanced frequency response for mid and high frequency.
You could do better by spending in the $2500 to $3000+ range, but the VALUE here is excellent at the price of less than $1,500.
