I had read reviews on this TV, and was on the fence. The reviews were mixed, and I wasn't sure about the TV, but for the price, I thought I'd give it a shot.
This TV is gorgeous. Is it OLED gorgeous? No, but you're not going to find OLED at this price point. I didn't want to spend another $1000 for OLED and since I play a lot of games, I didn't want to have to worry about burn in.
The google features on this TV are seamless. Being able to install just about any android app onto it is handy if you have your own Plex server.
But there are 2 issues that some might want to know about.
The first, is that the USB ports get powered on intermittently. The TV seems to connect to the internet periodically when it's off, to check for updates and whatever else, and when it does this, the USB ports get powered on. If you plan to use USB powered bias lighting, it means those lights will turn on and off randomly while the TV is off. I got around it by using an advanced power strip, and an LED bias light that powers from 110v instead of USB. I've also heard of people using smart plugs with energy monitors to power on the LEDs when it detects the TV turn on
The second is that, despite is full array backlight LEDs, I find that white subtitles on TV shows cause some light 'blooming'. It's only noticeable in dark scenes, and when the TV is on 'Vivid' mode with full brightness, so I don't notice it enough to make me want to return this otherwise great TV, but some might find it distracting.
The biggest complaint I've seen from reviews is that the viewing angle is narrow, but I only notice that colors start to wash out as extreme angles that would make it uncomfortable to watch TV, and even then, it's only minor. Not like the old TFT lcds from 15 years ago.
I have my large couch centered to the TV, with a smaller chair off to the side, and the TV looks great from either seat.
