Samsung 65" Class Samsung Neo QLED 8K QN800D, Black/Graphite

Design: Nothing special or out of the ordinary. The stand being in the middle (instead of two legs) cause the TV to be not-level for me. Real depth and AI motion enhancer pro: excellent for gaming, general viewing, and upscaling older content. However, I’m not a huge fan of the ultra-smoothing look for movies and TV shows. Tracking sound pro: the sound is great—I use an external soundbar system and the sound is going to the right speakers at the right time. Great picture. Pros: Very bright. Videos and movies are very smooth, almost too smooth looking. There is not a lot of 8K content out right now, but what I watched on YouTube and Vimeo looked excellent. Also, games and movies (4K UHD discs) looked great on the PS5. Remote is nice and light, ergonomic—I recommend ... MoreDesign: Nothing special or out of the ordinary.

Tracking sound pro: the sound is great—I use an external soundbar system and the sound is going to the right speakers at the right time. Great picture. Pros: Very bright. Videos and movies are very smooth, almost too smooth looking. There is not a lot of 8K content out right now, but what I watched on YouTube and Vimeo looked excellent. Also, games and movies (4K UHD discs) looked great on the PS5. Remote is nice and light, ergonomic—I recommend watching the tutorial (in settings) for the remote because there are a lot of shortcuts. Sound is adequate but I always use a soundbar or an external speaker system anyway. Cons: Somehow my TV is not level. I’m not looking forward to taking apart the stand and re-doing it, but maybe this was my fault, and this would not be an issue if I wall mounted the TV. The microphone came turned off, so I could not use the voice feature… it took me forever to find the microphone switch on the TV (it’s a tiny switch on the bottom right if you’re facing the TV) The TV is heavy, especially with the 3-piece metal stand and the external port hub. I just expected new TVs to be much lighter than the flat screen TVs 5+ years ago. Overall, excellent TV and none of the cons I mentioned really bother me. In my opinion, I would recommend going bigger, like 85” or greater for an 8K TV, so you can really notice the details.

This is a major upgrade to any home entertainment system and offers a great experience with user-friendly menus and setup. Putting this TV together took two of us but the work was well worth it. It wasn't a daunting task and the instructions are simple to follow. Love the overall design of the TV set and how sleek it is and how it compliments my entertainment system.Diving into the overall experience from unpacking to user experience:After we set up the tv, the menu setup was short and sweet. Being that we are a Samsung family, I was able to use my phone to setup the tv and balance the color. Also, which I believe is a nice touch is the addition of SmartThings. From The comfort of my couch and the tv, I’m able to control my lights, blinds and vacuum.

From The comfort of my couch and the tv, I’m able to control my lights, blinds and vacuum. This tv allows for this simple integration without a hiccup.Once the tv was setup and all devices were connected it was time for a serious treat. The picture quality of this device is mind blowing! It’s pure eye candy and I feel as if it’s a crime for the picture to look this good! It’s as if we are right there in the action and have to remind our mind that this is a tv and not real life. The picture is something to see.Remote control:The remote is small and sleek. I like the fact that it’s solar powered and the battery seems to Have a long life. I love the addition of hot keys that allow me to open certain applications for my viewing pleasure.Final thoughts:Overall this is a major win in my book and I can't wait to host the next movie night. I love this TV and cannot see me ever wanting to switch brands.

We decided to upgrade our "old" Samsung 55" curved screen TV and after visiting the JL showroom chose this slightly larger 65" 8K model. While there may not be a lot of 8K broadcasts currently, we are hopefully well prepared as this happens going forward! The high quality of the images even with current level broadcasts is exceptional and I notice it most when playing BluRay or DVD discs.Add to this the Smart TV features that come as standard with this Samsung model, plus two hand controls (the multi button control which allows direct accessing of main streaming channels or the slim smaller control for easy key controls) and the Samsung hub (to allow easy plugging in of external feeds and the sound bar), and all my family is very glad we made the change!Coupled ... MoreWe decided to upgrade our "old" Samsung 55" curved screen TV and after visiting the JL showroom chose this slightly larger 65" 8K model.

The additional side benefits of a 5 year warranty and cash refunds on purchase simply added to make if an excellent value deal!
