Honestly, I'm unimpressed and find it more frustrating than enjoyable. Yes, it has a great picture but that's pretty much the best thing I can say about it. The Tizen OS user interface is simply awful (I'm going to connect my previous Roku Ultra so I don't have to deal with it). It seems more designed to sell you app subscriptions than allow you to find and watch the content you want to see. It insists on showing you apps/channels you don't care about and won't let you remove them.
One of the features (which would be useful) is that it will return to the previously used/running app when your turn it on. So if you were watching Netflix and turned the TV off, when you turn it on again it will come up in Netflix. The only problem is that the feature simply doesn't work. No matter what, it always powers up into the extremely annoying Smart Hub home screen where it takes no less than 5 button pushes to get to Netflix or Amazon Prime.
In short, I wish I had purchased the best Roku TV I could have gotten and left this dog howling at the moon.
Note that I rarely bother to write bad reviews but after paying for what is supposed to be the best smart OLED TV on the market, I felt like others should be warned.
Oh, I should not forget to say that many of the settings are obfuscated by supposed AI control so setting something as simple as the aspect ratio cannot be done. So if the AI algorithm gets something wrong, you get to watch your show on two-thirds of your shiny new TV.
