Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a remarkable TV but because of its auto-adjust features it can produce a "Soap Opera" effect making everything, including old movies look like they were shot on a handy cam. Fortunately, there is an easy fix though it is counter-intuitive, you have to dial back some features. Under the picture settings, go to Expert settings, and turn off all the auto features, auto motion plus, digital clean and film. There are finer tweaks you can make and if you google "soap opera effect" you'll stumble upon some really detailed, excellent parameter settings, but just turning off those three things was close enough for me, and perhaps changing to movie mode. So, why buy a TV that you have to dial back? Well because the technology is ahead of the medium available but you'll be there and the price of this is not significantly greater than a similar size smart 1080p. And, for broadcasts, such as an increasing number from Netflix and ESPN, and anything that is all digital and designed to be crystal clear, this TV is amazing. The smart features are flawless and I set up the apps in a few minutes and was able to move a Roku 3 to another room. I'm living with the sound for now. It's ok. Not rich like my plasma, but then that's a 100 lb. TV, this is an anorexic wafer. This TV is lighter than some pictures hanging on my walls so there is not much room for booming, rich speakers. That said, it does a very good job with what it has to work with just not a home theater level job..Everything about this TV reminds me of the first CD player I bought when most CDs sounded worse than LPs because you heard everything and it sounded unnatural. In time this was corrected with remastering and was far superior but there was a transition phase. The same can be said of its remote, it isn't quite voice activated AI but it's getting there. It would have been nice if they had included a dumb remote along with there nifty Bang and Olufsen looking super mod remote but I'm getting used to it. Mostly I use this TV like a monitor so remotes don't concern me that much as I use the original remote once the source is selected. Still, it needs work. You might think this sounds more like a 4 star review but I can't bring myself to do that because the picture is that good, the TV that light and smart, and forward-ready, so maybe more accurately 4 1/2 stars but an excellent TV for the price that is very versatile, semi future-proof and very customizable.
