Somehow it feels so depressing that half the television reviews out there seem to come down to 'not bad, needs firmware update'. Imagine if most of the TV's features weren't implemented in software...

Abby is BEST. Dont forget the Rtings Entire TEAM of ppl working behind the scenes 4 weeks straight testing the TVS collecting data too. Thats why their TV test are d MOST accurate fact based. I think the videos they take turn present it . Rtings data often OPPOSIT /in conflict of other TV influencers. Because Rtings only base on truth. They are d only one I fallow for real performance now.

I have sold Samsung TVs (and other brands) for the past 16 years. The last four or five years I have noticed that Samsung is more concerned with cost cutting on all but its highest end models than it is with making good TV's. The double legged bases on the new 2024 7000 series models have two different positions for the legs to be installed, but the TV is not very stable. Plus, the legs no longer use screws to attach to the TV and instead rely on plastic clips. I am not impressed. I have resorted to securing the new displays down to the shelf at the feet as they seem borderline dangerously wobbly with the feet in the inner position. I personally also dislike their remotes. Just to change inputs you have to hit multiple buttons. It wouldn't be at all difficult to have a dedicated input button on the remote like LG does. Overall, I have become more and more disappointed with Samsung every year. Poor build quality gets worse every year.

I would argue all TV brands have gotten considerably cheaper in build quality. I am not impressed with the LG leg bases especially on the G3 and G4. It is highly wobbly. I get it is designed to hang, but they should have given the customer legs. As for Sony their flagship is now a mini led cause they are too cheap to make their own OLeD panels. I have a S89C and Q990C and the build quality is excellent.

Old man complains. First of all, 10 years ago 55" TV was luxury, and it was adequately priced. And still there were many f-ups like delaminating feet or cracking acrylic bezels. Cheap TVs were made cheaply, and premium was premium - the same as today. Legs that are clipped instead of screws are also imo great idea, especially since they also go into metal posts. There is no way that could fail and it's easy to use. Realistically stripping or losing screws is much bigger problem :v Also - i don't know what are you doing with your TV, but you must live in seismic active region to have problem with TV wobbliness - it's not a thing that you move or even touch. Also small remotes are much more comfortable than too-many-rubber-buttons of 2000s and 2010s - i don't need to look at it, so it's much faster even if i need to click something 3 times instead of 1. One thing that could be better is option to remap streaming services buttons and disable ads - that is really annoying, especially because device is not free or even that cheap. Another interesting fact is longevity. I work at samsung repair and i can say that backlight is much more durable and bright than 5-10 years ago.

My Samsung Q80R also had a weird looking sized gap between the screen the bezel, but it's been working great for the last 5 years and every other aspect of it is amazing. I think it's better made than my QN85B,
@garrettstrutz74213 ай бұрын
I am not sure exactly why but the Q80B looks better than the Q85b I have spent quite some time looking at them side by side and the Q80 does an overall better job at most everything they are very close tho. The Q80R is a great tv keep that until it breaks

tbh im kinda impressed with the static contrast in lcd pc monitor land thats unheard of; stuck at 1000:1 for 2 decades now with few exceptions
@emillarsen12714 ай бұрын
That's because LCD monitors mainly use IPS panels for color accuracy and response time. But the native contrast of IPS is typically very low. If you look at any monitor with a VA panel (Most Samsung Odyssey models) then the contrast is much better, although at the expense of viewing angles, response time and to some extent color accuracy.

The response time on these modern VA panels has gotten really good no need for IPS anymore really

I could care less about the other stuff. A good enough picture is just that. Good enough. But you lost me at no numpad on the remote. And the TV is edge lit, hence no local dimming. More energy efficient and far less prone to backlight failures. I'll take longevity over deep blacks.

Have a 15 yr old edge lit VIZIO, Used a LOT and still perfect. Most backlit TV's your lucky to get 5 years out of them. And Hisense have the highest failure rate among ALL their product lines - along with TCL.
