Pros: The video quality is great. Obviously check to see what kind of TV you need. QLED, OLED, etc. But if this is the type you want, it’s a good one. The sound quality of the TV is clear enough, but very little bass. I would suggest a sound bar or something. Remove control no longer requires batteries. I just charge it every few months with a USBC cable. But other than that it’s basically a Samsung remote. Initial set up is easy. At the homescreen it does have a box for what ever was opened last, which can male it easier to jump right back into a video.
Cons: I hate the UI. Granted, you get used to it, but the last Samsung TV I had was so much better. It just had a thing pop up at the bottom, which I preferred, but that’s preference. However, it’s two separate screens for movie apps and gaming apps, which means switching back and forth. I downloaded certain apps for streaming, and didn’t add it to the homescreen, and I couldn’t figure out how to do that afterwards. If you go into the app store, and you select it, it just brings up the app page with no real discernable way to just add it to the home screen. I’m used to using different tech, so this isn’t just someone who can’t send an email. They just made it hidden. Finally, the biggest gripe I have has to do with gaming. Over all a great experience once I start, but more often than not if I turn on my PS5 and it loads up the PS5 on the TV, I get a black screen. That’s it. I have to either go load up Netflix or something, then go back to the PS5, or unplug and plug back in the HDMI cable if that doesn’t work. I’ve never had this issue with any other TV. I don’t know if it’s something to do with switching to game mode, but the selling point is that I just turn on the console and it switches to it for me. If I then have to do extra steps to get it to work, then I would rather it not. And it seems to be doing it more and more over time. So that is an annoyance you have to live with, but it’s also something that makes me sometimes consider if I should have gotten another model.
