Very pleased Thus Far with this Purchase
Just had this set delivered and unpacked.. I chose the delivery and unpacking option, which was convenient (and only required perhaps, a solid twenty minutes). Still getting aclimated to this model (particularly since settings are quite a bit different than my older model, which was a 46 inch Samsung. 50 inch was just a bit more suitable for my needs than going with a slightly larger 55 inch model. Colors look considerably better (lol, and they should right?), in comparison to my previous LED model (which I ran continuously, without experiencing any hiccups other than my allowing a screen burn to work itself in). It will require a day or two to get accustomed to the settings layout, obviously, but thus far, I’m quite satisfied overall. Disappointed however, with the remote, because I got used to the luxury of pressing one button to switch back to a previous channel, which this solar cell remote doesn’t support (and yes, I’ve researched all kinds of online ‘so-called’ solutions to this which haven’t worked). No problem with hooking up the Samsung soundbar (that I had purchased for my previous Samsung TV, roughly 5-6 years back) and it works just fine. Price wise, I am comfortable with what I paid and quite glad I took the time to look over a couple dozen similar models (some which were more alluring, but cost considerably more). So far, so good.Update: It’s been a couple months now and I’m still very much liking this purchase. This certainly improves (considerably), over my previous 46 inch Samsung tv, making watching television more enjoyable. Still happy with my purchase decision. Took several days to get accustomed to the various settings, which differed from my older Samsung, but that’s to be expected. Too bad the remote doesn’t have a previous channel button that my previous tv remote had, but it is what it is.I upgraded my older Samsung sound bar to the Q600F and placed it on my electric fireplace directly in front of my tv. Barely had room, but it fits. Unfortunately, the sound bar was just high enough that it interfered with my tv remote. So, I purchased the AX WABER Universal TV Stand (AX10TB02), which was priced nicely, is certainly sturdy to the feel, well packaged and fully capable of holding several size tvs. Installing this stand appears simple and straight forward (you’ll need a Phillips head screw driver however).I paused on installing the tv stand because I noted that the two sets of holes on the back of the tv (where you mount the stand’s brackets which then attach to the stand’s legs), just didn’t seem wide enough apart. The tv is roughly 43 inches across yet one pair holes was 16 1/2 inches from the left edge of the tv while the other side was 18 1/2 inches in from the other edge. The spacing between both sets of holes is only 8 1/2 inches apart, which seems kind of odd.One would think that the placement of those holes would have been further apart (i.e. 10 1/2 to 12 inches or so). Though the weight of the tv isn’t an issue, the fact that the legs on my tv stand would only be 8 1/2 inches apart (given the width of the tv), kind of raises an eyebrow. The tv’s rear side is flat, so why Samsung didn’t space the rear holes wider apart seems a tiny bit puzzling. They may do the job as intended, but it still seems odd.In the meantime, I set the tv on a riser to resolve the issue where my soundbar was interfering with my tv remote. Although the riser is 7 inches high (about three inches higher than what I needed), it works. Still very much recommend this tv (and the AX WABER TV Stand (AX10TB02)), as well.update number 2: Let’s face it, most of us don’t exactly focus our tv purchase decisions on where the mounting holes on the back of a tv are. Granted, some folks may do so, but most folks, including me, don’t.Although I prefer to install the AX Waber tv top stand (which I previously mentioned), I only held off doing so because Samsung chose to space the mounting holes on the back of the tv only 8.5 inches apart. I attached a photo here, laying down a couple pencils to give you an idea where Samsung’s rear sets of holes are located. Visually, it just seems odd that Samsung would space those rear side holes only 8.5 inches apart (as opposed to something like 12-14 inches apart in view of the tv’s width). It’s only my personal observation, but 8.5 inches apart just doesn’t exactly inspire an abundance of confidence in mounting a tv top type stand. It may work fine to attach my stand to it, but visually, that 8.5 inch distance still leaves a tiny bit of doubt.Overall, I still enjoy the tv (and my Samsung Q600F soundbar), however. While Samsung’s standard tv legs are nicely and proportionately spaced out, which is great for most display needs, Samsung didn’t apply that same logic to spacing out the rear side mounting holes on this tv (in my opinion). Something that some customers might consider.

Love the TV, Hate the remote
The tv itself is very good. Lots of options to watch all your channels, streaming, accessories. The most aggravation comes from the remote. It is so extremely sensitive that even breathing hard near it changes the channel, puts up a random menu, or goes to the home screen. You have to start again to get back to where you are/were. If you are accustom to having the remote live on the couch with you, you will need to break that habit. It will change what you’re watching by just the lightest tap of your leg or hand. It is a small remote and easy to lose. So when you do accidentally change where you were, you have to start the search for the small remote. I’m afraid that all new Samsung TVs will have this new remote so it’s not just this TV. Like I said, the TV is great. Clear picture, syncs well to the sound bar, easy set up and lightweight. And a great price! A good buy!
