A HORRIBLE set. I had one here last year for about two weeks before returning it, trying to replace an 8 year old 1080i 40" Toshiba, and after an hour of tweaking it (I'm a video engineer), my wife walked in and said "Is this supposed to look better than the old one? Because it doesn't."
It's off axis viewing and it's motion are horrible. Don't be fooled by the "Motion 120" marketing idiocy - it's a 60Hz refresh panel that either stutters or smears, depending on settings. And don't be fooled by the rtings.com review which says this is a good set. It is not.
Also, it does not support HDR10. It supports Samsung's own version of HDR (HDRPro) that may, at some point be supported by but no one else. No one.
And the 'Smart' part INSISTS that you agree to let Samsung monitor everything you do with the apps, and then let them sell all your personal and viewing info to whomever they please, forever. It wasn't that way when I bought it, but became that way after the immediate 'update' it downloaded.
Save yourself some grief, and look for something else. I have 4 Samsung TVs in my house, and two at my mom's, all a few years old, and all working just great. But based on this set's pathetic performance and Samsung's obnoxious 'privacy' policy, I'm never buying another of their sets again.
