Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Purchased this tv from Best Buy 10/1/14. Returned it 10/6/14. +'s: 1) Very unique style 2) Great user interface and smart features 3) Bright colorful picture 4) 4k content looks awesome -'s: 1) The curve is a gimmick... it really is. I didn't want it to be, but I mistakenly bought into the hype. If you sit DIRECTLY in front of the tv and are about 5-6 feet away, the curve makes a big impact and does feel like it hits more of your peripheral vision. If you are anywhere off-center, you get distortion, color changes, and brightness variations. Bottom line, viewing angle is really bad and I thought it was advertised as a positive. This was a big factor due to our living room furniture constraints. 2) No matter how much I played with settings (even those recommended online by “experts”), I could not get rid of motion blur. It did not feel 120Hz. This was another big factor as a smooth picture makes viewing that much more enjoyable. I want to add that I tried all viewing inputs possible with the highest quality peripherals. I bought an up-convert 4k Sony blu-ray player. I was using an XBOX One for gaming. I streamed 4k via Netflix. I bought upgraded HDMI cables for all sources and have high speed internet through bright house. Summary: I honestly tried my best to love this tv. I WANTED to love this tv. It blew me away in store and I just had to have it. It looks beautiful. It’s really a piece of art. I wanted family and friends to come over and be blown away. The picture is outstanding if you are close and directly in front. That’s really the only configuration I can recommend this tv. If you plan on using it for solo gaming or movie watching at close range, then you will be thrilled. If you are at a normal viewing distance or off-center you may be highly disappointed like I was. After having it in house almost a full week, I sat back and said, “this is supposed to be better?” In my opinion, it just isn’t. If you still want to give this tv a chance (I can understand why), buy it somewhere with a great return policy. Take it home and flex its muscles all you can.
