Costumer reviews:
My perspective may be a bit different than many. I bought this TV to use for photo slideshow presentations. I don't have any 4K video content, but I do have lots of still images which are much higher than 4K.
Here is my experience:
**IMAGE QUALITY**
4/5 This was the main reason for me buying the TV and so far I've been happy with it. Predictably, images look breathtakingly sharp and beautifully clear and saturated on this TV. The panel does not distort color when viewing off-axis, but it does lose some contrast fairly quickly if not looking directly at it. There are MANY different color and picture adjustments and with some fiddling, you will be able to get close to the ideal image with this TV. There is some color inaccuracy in the saturation of some subtle greens and reds, but I consider this a minor issue. Overall the picture will not compare to a calibrated IPS computer monitor, but is still excellent for a TV and sufficient for professional image slide shows.
**BUILD/DESIGN**
5/5 The TV is slimly designed with beautiful touches all around. The screen has a non reflective matte finish, the bezels are thin, and the inputs are easily accessible from the righthand side of the TV. It is also pleasantly light for a 50" 4K television.
**SOFTWARE/CONTROLS**
4/5 The controller for the TV functions in two different ways - with traditional buttons and via a built-in IR pointer. You can point at the screen and click on things similar to how you would a computer mouse, but I find the accuracy of the pointer to be lacking. Maybe it needs calibration or maybe I just need more practice. However I find the pointer fairly tedious to use. The buttons, however, are top notch and very responsive.
The TV also has a slew of built-in smart features with many apps for content viewing and gaming. Though I don't intend on using this part of the feature set, I was very impressed with the content and functionality relative to our other smart TV here at home (which is a Vizio).
The TV allows for media (video, photo) via inputs on the back of the TV. It has two USB 2.0 inputs, one USB 3.0 input, and several others. I use a USB 3.0 flash drive for viewing photo and video on the TV. Video playback is exceptional and just as smooth/streamlined as any smart phone or tablet you will find. Photo slideshows are good, but not great - the downfall is in the software. With a photo slideshow you can hit "play" and let the TV scroll through the images at a fixed rate (slow, med, fast), or you can manually scroll through them with the remote. My biggest complaint is that the maximum speed of the slideshow is too slow. Even on "fast" mode, the TV displays each image for 5 seconds. If you choose to manually advance the images, the fastest you can scroll through them is one image every two seconds. I can press the forward button 5x on the remote, but I'll only get one image advance every two seconds. This makes it awkward and tedious to get through large numbers of images. One work around would be to use a laptop and video-in to the TV, but I would lose the beautiful 4K resolution that way.
In summary, I find this to be a fantastic smart TV with a picture which is great for general viewing though slightly sub-par for color critical display work. However my usage is fairly specialized. Given the exceptional design and price of the TV, I really find it hard to fault as-is.
As a side note, I bought mine used through "Amazon Warehouse deals" for about $300 less than retail. If you choose to go this route, get a TV with original packaging. I ordered a repackaged TV the first time around and it came badly damaged due to poor packing by Amazon. The original Samsung packaging of my second TV was much better.
