I love this TV. It's a great combination of performance and features at a good price point. I'll skip the technical specs that are easily found in the listing and focus on my personal impressions of the TV features and setup.
I mounted this TV on the wall using the Cheetah APTMM2B mount found on Amazon. It worked perfectly and keeps the TV very close to the wall. The 75" TV is pretty heavy and requires two people to lift and hookup the cabling in one pass. Once on the wall, good luck trying to plug in an HDMI. I used DataComm Electronics 50-3323-WH-KIT for hiding the wiring in the wall: power, 3x HDMI cables and a LAN cable. All in all, a great, clean installation for a worthy TV as shown in the attached picture.
While the TV is an entry level product in the QLED line, I feel it displays a beautiful picture, especially compared to the old LCD it replaced. I used calibration settings for this model from rtings.com and it looks great. I tested 4k content with The Mandalorian after an easy installation of the Disney+ app from the menus. Personally, I was wowed by the picture. I feel the colors and are great and the brightness is more than acceptable, but I have not compared to the higher end Samsung QLEDs side by side.
I thought that I would absolutely hate the minimalist remote control and go back to a Logitech Harmony. I was completely wrong about it. After installing everything and spending a little time with it, I fell in love with this little remote. The remote combined with the well thought out menus is a great pairing. Samsung really nailed this as far as I'm concerned. Others may or may not feel the same way, but I love it. It all makes so much sense once you put it in use. It does a great job of combining all of your devices within the software, under one remote, without all the added buttons.
Ambient mode is fun to play with. It's basically just a screensaver to display when not using the TV for viewing content. I stream music on it while it sits on a background that is 3 dimensional. It has some nice designs and is highly customizable to match your room decor and colors. It lets you take a picture of the wall the TV is on in the Smart Things app to match everything.
Lastly, setup/configuration can be done with the remote and/or the Smart Things app. I used a combination of the two. The quick setup guide isn't much use in my opinion, but setup was pretty self explanatory regardless. It's a lot like step by step walk-through a new smartphone goes through. The TV manual is mostly found in apps on the TV. I ran in to issues with the cable box device install at first. It detected fine, but after setup completed the remote didn't control the cable box at all. A quick Google search found that sometimes you need to uninstall the device and reinstall it (after setup has completed) in order to get it working and controlling as expected. Once I did that, everything was great.
I'm very happy with the TV so far. I'd recommend it to anyone.
