The TV is great.
I paired it with the Sanus tilt mount, but dont make the same mistake I did and assume the mounting screws are centered vertically on the TV. I think they are offset by 3 inches, which by the grace of god still allowed me to mount this monster with millimeters of clearance.
Also for the Sanus mount I ended up having to use the 25mm M8 screws with a 5mm stand off as well as the included washer. So dont assume the 16mm M8 screws in the Sanus kit will fit, they were too short for me.
Samsung is a solid brand with app features to boot. If you dont care about built in app support, I suppose you could go even cheaper with the TCL 98″ but for the extra grand it was worth it to me to get Samsung. I was between this and the Sony 100″ which gets you 2 inches extra diagonal and Dolby Vision but it was also 3k more. Wasnt worth it to me.
If i were to splurge I’d go for the QN 90A 98″ by Samsung. Unlimited cash I’d go with the 110″ LG OLED.
The box is enormous. I had to unpack and get a friend to safely get it into the basement after removing the hand rails. So be mindful of delivery because if you’re moving this to anywhere beyond a direct entryway, you may find yourself stuck.
The picture is what you would expect from an LED. There’s a considerable difference with blooming/bleed in high contrast scenes, but I’m comparing to LG OLED, which is insanely better but also much more costly. Also the OLED suffers from screen burn. I have a roughly 7 year old LG 65″ OLED that’s been performing wonderfully to this day but now is showing signs of wear on images with a noticable split down the middle on darker images.
Over all Im happy with my purchase. If you have the extra cash go with the QN, otherwise this is a solis contender.
