After reading several reviews both on Amazon and elsewhere, I deceided to purchase this TV. I was a little worried about having a TV of this size mailed / delivered to my house. My fears were unjustified. I scheduled the delivery through Amazon and everything went as planned. The delivery showed up at the exact time they said it would. Two Amazon employees had it off the truck and in my living room within a matter of minutes. The box was in perfect shape and showed that it had been handled with care. There were no holes, tears, dents, or rattles inside.
It took about an hour to mount the TV on my living room wall. The setup was quick and easy. Samsung really made it simple with onscreen prompts. The picture is beautiful just using the factory settings. I downsized to this 65" screen from a Viseo 70" TV. Can hardly tell the difference in size. I chose not to upgrade to the 75" Samsung model because I could not justify spending an additional $900.00 for 10 more inches.
The TV processor is fast. The apps come up quickly and scrolling through is smooth and seamless. The remote is great. Seems minimal at first but it has everything that is needed without lots of distracting buttons.
I have no complaints with this TV. I paired this with a small soundbar from Samsung (T-400), again had everything connected in minutes. The built in TV speakers sounded great and would have been perfect for a smaller room. I highly reccomend this TV for anyone looking for a QLED display. Be sure to stick with the Q-80 series of this model, you get a lot of features for only a little more than the Q-60 or Q-70 series.
UPDATE 11/4/21
I have had this TV for 6 months with no issues. The only thing I can complain about is that the remote has a built in battery that can't be replaced. It is designed to be charged by the photo cell on the back so you must get use to storing the remote with the photo cell up. It also has and input connector to charge via USB cable. I purchased the cable and the remote charges quickly. Would have been nice if the cable came with the remote! Definitly buy the cable, it should only cost a few dollars on Amazon.
My TV came with a protective film on the screen. It was obvious that it need to be removed before using. Not sure why there are so many issues with this.
I am very happy with this TV. It has worked out well for me and my family.
