PLEASE READ...IMPORTANT TECHNICAL INFO......
Samsung has released the JU7100 series of 4K TVs which contain a defect which makes them unable to connect to the internet via WIFI. That is the bad news. The good news is that today, 3/18/15, Samsung has issued a fix (firmware) which is available on their web site. You will need to use a flashdrive to download the fix and apply it to your TV. Other than this problem, the TV performs as expected. Pretty straight foward to setup and operate. Oh, the remote is really nice..not your standard one your are familar with. It is very minimalist but powerful. Unlike other TVs, Samsung has adopted a separate Hub device which you plug all your cables into. There are no HDMI ports on the TV itself. Very interesting design. The Hub then connects into the back of the TV. UPDATE: I was unable to apply the firmware using a flashdrive, evidently the TV could not read or find the file on the flashdrive. But that was not a big issue. As a work around, I hooked up my TV to my router via a cable and that worked great. The TV easily found the update and now my JU7100 is able to connect using WiFi and does not need to use the cable. UPDATE 2: If you want to follow a great discussion about the Samsung JU7100 series 4K TV (as well virtually all other manufactures), let me suggest you go to the AVS Forum > Display Devices >LCD Panels. You will learn a lot and can ask other users questions.
