No HDMI-CEC / Anynet+ support (despite mentions on Amazon's product page) - don't buy if you wish to connect additional devices
This review is about two lessons I learned after buying TV on Amazon.
Lesson 1: don't buy TV on Amazon
I ordered that TV and was super excited the day it was supposed to arrive (it was just before Holidays), as I had so much stuff to watch/play using it. Unfortunately, after unboxing it, I saw what you can see on the attached picture. Very disappointed, I had to order a replacement from Amazon and postpone my plans after the Holidays. Additionally, I had to send it back to Amazon on my cost. Amazon reimbursed me, but only for $20, while cheapest option I found to send it back was $50, and it was using UPS. I ended up paying $70 at USPS (cheapest option available), as it was closest to the place I live.
Lesson 2: always check the specification of any device on manufacturer's website - don't believe Amazon's description
When it finally arrived in working condition, the second big disappointment happened - this TV does NOT support hdmi-cec or anynet+. What does it mean? It means that if you have a device that you want to connect to your TV (as I do) and control using the Samsung TV remote, you won't be able to. The worst thing is that the product page mentions anynet+ in two places, so I believed this TV indeed supports that standard.
