Great value on a great TV
I took a chance and I ordered this when it was announced and received it when it was released. It was well packaged. Unpacking and setup was very easy. I put it on a stand, so I needed t attach the included legs (4 screws, no biggie) which give the TV solid steady support. It took about 15 minutes for the TV to download and install all the available software updates once I connected it to our home WiFi. As a longtime Amazon Firestick users on my not-smart TVs, the interface for 4-Series is familiar and intuitive, as is the remote. The picture is pretty amazing. Very clear and bright, and highly customizable. The sound through the built in speakers is fine, but if you want more of a theatre experience you'll want to add speakers or a soundbar. I still have, and like, cable TV (I know, I'm a dinosaur) but switching to the HDMI input for the cable box is a no brainer -- either from a selection on the home screen or by asking Alexa. I can easily get to all my content and have an easy to use experience and great picture quality. Can't ask for much more than that. My only quibble, and it wasn't enough to remove a star from my rating, is the remote. I wish it was backlit, since I'm usually watching in a dark room. Also, the remote comes preconfigured with buttons for Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, none of which I use (Amazon Prime, HBO Max, and Showtime meet my streaming needs). It would be nice to be able to customize those buttons for quick access to services I actually use. But it's not a biggie. It's a very good TV at a good price, especially if you catch it on sale. Recommended.
