The picture quality of this TV is outstanding—easily the best I’ve owned. I replaced my 2019 75" QN75Q8FNBFXZA, which had backlighting issues. While customer service was polite, they weren’t helpful in resolving the old QLED’s problem and never offered a discount to upgrade. I considered the LG G5, but since this TV would be mounted in a living room with large glass doors to a lanai, glare control was a top priority. They nailed it, and I’m very happy with the picture quality. It’s a clear step up from my old TV, especially in UHD brightness mode. That said, I don’t think it’s worth the extra cost over Samsung’s second-best model. The sound isn’t as good as my previous TV either—its thinner design means less bass and a slightly tinny tone, though still acceptable. I have it connected to a Denon AVR via eARC, which works well and delivers full Atmos surround, even if I haven’t fine-tuned every setting yet. Personally, I think they should skip internal speakers entirely for premium models and include a high-end soundbar instead. Samsung’s built-in streaming service has a good variety of free channels, including sports, which is a nice bonus. However, there’s quite a bit of bloatware, and you’re locked into Samsung’s ecosystem. If you like that, great—if not, you’ll spend time working around it. Do I like it? Yes. It performs as promised, and the matte screen is fantastic. Still, it’s pricey compared to similarly sized models that also look amazing for less. If glare is a concern, the S95 is worth a look; if not, the S90 or certain LG models are excellent value. I wasn’t originally a fan of Samsung’s TVs, but they’ve improved, and for budget-minded families, their free TV offerings could replace subscriptions entirely. It’s not bad at all and covers all the basics—I even find myself watching some of their sports and shows I wouldn’t get otherwise. I want to add that I had the delivery option that included unpacking, set up on stand and removal of packing as well as removal of my old TV. They were excellent and on time. That is worth the extra 60 bucks. This tv is a little flimsy as it is really thin, so you need some extra hands setting it up. Best Pros: Picture quality, remote electronics, lightness (20# lighter than my last 75"). Worst cons: bass response, cost, some of their soft/bloatwear Overall tv review 4 stars
