Great TV, weird choices in external wiring
Absolutely beautiful picture and great TV. Love the ultra thin profile and the almost invisible bezel maximizing screen in no wasted space. Only knock against this is the weird external wiring from Samsung. Instead of plugging your HDMIs into the TV, they've moved to the "One Connect", a proprietary signal cable and hub. So you get an extra device hub you plug all your HDMI/etc into, and that sits with your other multimedia components. It connects to the TV via a generous 6' (I believe) length cord, but again with their proprietary connectors. Bizarrely, this proprietary connector doesn't include power, so you have a second wire coming down out of your tv for your power, with what seems like standard connectors. I have no clue why they went to the trouble to have a special cord and didn't just include the power in it. They should have called it the "Two Connect", since you have two cords, not one. Anyway, strangest of all... Samsung made these two wires (the proprietary One Connect and the power cord) LIGHT GRAY in color. I was literally shocked to discover this. Here's this expensive, fancy, ultra-thin TV (perfect for low-profile wall mounting) with black bezel and backing... and GRAY cords that stand out like a sore thumb. I guess maybe so they blend better with a (gray) wall, if you were so inclined as to just run them down the wall exposed instead of hiding them in-wall or inside a conduit? Crazy choice on Samsung's part. But overall, just a cosmetic nitpick. Great TV otherwise.
