Fantastic Immersive Picture, Great Value
5/5
Absolutely love this TV! We replaced our 12-year old Samsung LCD TV so obviously knew this was going to be in a different category, but completely flabbergasted with the picture quality for the price. I can't stop watching David Attenborough now! I was really undecided whether to go with an OLED rather than this Neo QLED but having spoken to a few TV geeks I'm convinced we bought the right one for us, mainly because we have an 'L' shape lounge and need the deeper viewing angle. Also didn't want to worry about screen burn, I think OLED may possibly show a better shade of black but I'm more than happy with the Neo QLED picture quality.
One thing I didn't realise was that the TV has Bixby voice control, I thought it was a bit of a gimmick but actually already used it a few times when the remote is not to hand, even with a northern voice it works really well. There are other options for ALEXA voice control.
We did get a Samsung Soundbar bundled with the TV and I must admit even though it is only an entry model (HW-S50B) it is still so much better than just the TV speakers. It also integrates so well with the TV, the Q-Symphony sound option uses both the soundbar & TV speakers to optimise the acoustics. The soundbar integrates with the TV remote so it turns on/off when TV is turned on/off. I did buy a new ARCe HDMI lead as wasn't sure if our old one was up to spec and it did make a noticeable difference improving the sound quality. Also handy if you want to play some tunes from your phone, just connect via bluetooth to the soundbar (or via the Samsung Smart Things App).
The only negative for the TV is the cable managements on the back of the TV are rubbish, there are channels to push the cables into but they just pop straight out, so sticky clips are needed to keep it all neat.
Overall really really pleased with both the TV/Soundbar & the service AO gave us, unbeatable value and a spot on service, lots of notifications regarding delivery, phone call 15 minutes before delivery.
I made a huge mistake when I submitted my order as my computer auto corrected the delivery address to our old house number! I was panicking as imagined someone else accepting delivery of our new TV! But got straight through to AO support who corrected the delivery address straight away.
Samsung are definitely the go to TV manufacturer & I think AO have pretty much perfected it as a supplier.
