Review on πŸ“Ί SAMSUNG 65-Inch Class Crystal UHD AU8000 Series Smart TV (2021 Model), Black - 4K UHD HDR with Alexa Built-in by Brian Olson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice! - TV and video

Use as monitor and TV. Connected the Samsung soundbar straight away. Can connect (wirelessly) from my Surface Book 3 and display it as an external monitor in 4k. Download Power Toys from Windows and set it up with fancy zones that look like the equivalent of 6 separate screens and you can rearrange the grid however you like. I originally ordered a 65 inch curved screen but it arrived with some issues and I had to return it. I really wanted a different curved screen but they weren't in stock so I went with (so I thought) a 65 inch flat screen. This thing is a third the weight, about a quarter the thickness, and the screen is gorgeous. I'm really glad the other screen had issues otherwise I would never have ordered this model which I like a lot more. The only issue I had was that when the delivery people opened the truck door the TV was on top of some other boxes in the delivery truck and none of the other items in the truck were secured in any way. I was told that he had just fallen between this and the last stop. The guys tried lifting it up on one end and there was a very noticeable flex due to the way they were trying to manoeuvre. I realized that I was working as a delivery man. These guys just wanted to get him off the truck to get to the next stop. That being said, when I was working with shipping I would NEVER let a customer see me handling something they just paid over $850 for. I raised my concerns and was told "It's ok, if it's damaged you can just return it". come on guys At the very least, pretend that you care about the product you deliver.

Pros
  • LED and LCD TV
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
