After a year and a half of use, I have only good things to say. I bought it in November 2020 on sale for 1130 euros. I wanted to buy the LG OLED, but it was around 1500 euros and with the price drop of the Samsung, I couldn't say no to such an offer. The TV really has everything. I connect 4K movies directly from the hard drive to the TV and it plays them flawlessly, even the largest 80 GB 4K movies. The only exception is that it doesn't play DTS audio. The picture and contrast are in an extreme degree, to the point where your eyes hurt in a good way. I mean, even in a bright living room with sunlight, the TV will play brightly, which OLEDs cannot do. If HDR is a key factor for you when buying a TV, then this TV is for you because it has rich and powerful HDR. In other countries, the same TV comes with two remote controls, a regular one and one with basic settings. Here in Greece, they only give us the small remote control. I contacted the Greek representative to ask, and they told me there is only one. At first, I was puzzled, but then I learned how to work with it because it doesn't have the classic buttons 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0, nor does it have tricks like some LG TVs where it's like laser shooting for easy navigation, etc. Also, changing channels and adjusting the volume is done in a special way with a 3-directional button, which may initially be difficult for older people. Everything about the TV is perfect for me, the picture, the sound. It's very positive that the TV is wall-mountable, you can connect it to the wall like a frame, and then there is a box where the electrical connections and cable connections like HDMI, USB, and optical fiber are made. In other words, the TV is in two parts. Its stand is tall, so someone can place a large soundbar underneath it or even the box itself. For gaming, it's great, I play PS5 Gran Turismo 7 without fear of burn-in. As a receiver for TV channels, there is no issue there either. The only negatives I could find are that it doesn't have component connections, the navigation menu takes a little getting used to at first, and in terms of motion interpolation, it doesn't perform perfectly at 100%. In that aspect, Sony TVs are good, let's say those things. It can create artifacts, which is logical because it introduces new frames and it's a matter of calculation. No matter what we do, it's still LED, and regarding phenomena like halo effect and blooming, as well as absolute black, things are quite good, but it's not OLED... the black is gray and in abrupt dark-to-bright transitions, sometimes the TV is bothersome. It can't be helped, it's purely a matter of different display technologies, so choose what you want carefully. For LED, because QLED is simply an LED with powerful backlighting, and OLED, where each pixel is autonomous, choose your camp carefully.
