Terrific tv! What beautiful colors and such a clear picture! Thus far, I find the sound to be actually rather good, despite some naysayers, though they may care more about a pounding bass sound or want to play it at a much louder volume than I do. It sounds very clear to me. The smart tv aspect of it works very well, with it quite easy to stream content and to change sources between cable tv, dvd player, amazon prime, and anything else you may have hooked up to it. The stream-lined remote control (which doesn't have that many buttons) has a bit of a learning curve, and sometimes takes a few seconds when you turn on the tv before the voice commands (i.e. changing channels) will start to work. I still sometimes use my cable tv remote as well when looking at what's on and to read program descriptions. But the remote provided is actually very good once you get the hang of it, and the voice commands are really cool.
It's a really good-looking tv -- the metal steel bezel is rather narrow, allowing for nearly the entire television to fill up with the beautiful picture. There are good connections on the back for 3 HDMIs, and other types of connections, including room for an antenna in case I decide to get rid of cable tv in the near future with all the easy streaming this tv allows me. There is even a composite connection which allowed me to hook up my old VCR/DVD recorder since I still have some rare old media I like to play and some things I still might want to record, dub and/or edit. I also have a blue-ray DVD connected via the HDMI cables. The tv will upscale the picture, making it look as much improved as it can.
I also like the base which supports the tv; while it takes up a good deal of the tv stand by being under practically the entire width of the set, I feel that's a good thing in my case, since it makes it more secure and less likely to tip over than some of the skimpy bases which are just on the sides of some sets (one reason I didn't go for the 8000 series which has such a base, nor do I think that series had a composite connection).
I really love this television, as it has brought much more beautiful colors into my life!
