Great everyday TV for most people!
This is a nice set for the money. First you need to pair your remote to the TV. You can do this by setting the TV (plugging in/powering on) up first then putting in the batteries for the remote and it will auto-connect. If you (like me) place the batteries in before you set the TV up then you can sync them by pressing return and play/pause buttons for 3 seconds. You then pair all of your devices so that your remote works with them, however, I find that I prefer my X1 remote since I can use page up/down, sports app, recordings ect. It's just more convenient VS. the Samsung remote.
Best settings for me: Picture Mode: Natural, Sound Mode: Movie, Picture Size 16:9 Standard
Picture settings under expert settings:
Backlight- 20
Brightness- 45
Contrast- 95
Sharpness- 45
Color- 52
Tint- 50
Dig Clean View- Auto
Auto Motion Plus- Auto
Dynamic Contrast- Med
Color Tone- Standard
Sound settings need to be adjusted to "movie" or "music" setting to get nice sound. I prefer the movie setting. Note: If you change your picture settings to special viewing mode "sports" or "game" It will affect your sound settings so be sure to turn that mode off when not viewing sports or playing games. Also in your sound settings under "expert settings" you'll find a setting called "Auto Volume" that should be set to normal.
The built in wifi works great and all the apps are snappy and work well. You can go to youtube and search 4K video and see what a great picture this set is capable of. It is also HDR-10 capable and while there is not much content available there will be in the coming years. This is why TV's from 2014/2015 that were 4 grand are plummeting in price. All Samsung 2016 TV's will be HDR compliant (this one included).
The stand is a nice and solid one-piece, which makes it easy to find a stand for VS. the double leg stands that require extra long TV stands to set upon.
All in all I'm happy with this television for the price. It may not have all the extra fancy settings that other models may have but for 90% of the population (videophile's aside) this TV is more than enough for everyday needs. Just have to wait for the price to drop on the new Samsung UBD-K8500 HDR blu-ray and this set will have the prefect companion!
Samsung UN65KU6300 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2016 Model)
Happy viewing!
