Samsung Electronics UN49MU7000 49-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2017 Model)

Terrific tv! What beautiful colors and such a clear picture! Thus far, I find the sound to be actually rather good, despite some naysayers, though they may care more about a pounding bass sound or want to play it at a much louder volume than I do. It sounds very clear to me. The smart tv aspect of it works very well, with it quite easy to stream content and to change sources between cable tv, dvd player, amazon prime, and anything else you may have hooked up to it. The stream-lined remote control (which doesn't have that many buttons) has a bit of a learning curve, and sometimes takes a few seconds when you turn on the tv before the voice commands (i.e. changing channels) will start to work. I still sometimes use my cable tv remote as well when looking at what's on and to read program descriptions. But the remote provided is actually very good once you get the hang of it, and the voice commands are really cool.It's a really good-looking tv -- the metal steel bezel is rather narrow, allowing for nearly the entire television to fill up with the beautiful picture. There are good connections on the back for 3 HDMIs, and other types of connections, including room for an antenna in case I decide to get rid of cable tv in the near future with all the easy streaming this tv allows me. There is even a composite connection which allowed me to hook up my old VCR/DVD recorder since I still have some rare old media I like to play and some things I still might want to record, dub and/or edit. I also have a blue-ray DVD connected via the HDMI cables. The tv will upscale the picture, making it look as much improved as it can.I also like the base which supports the tv; while it takes up a good deal of the tv stand by being under practically the entire width of the set, I feel that's a good thing in my case, since it makes it more secure and less likely to tip over than some of the skimpy bases which are just on the sides of some sets (one reason I didn't go for the 8000 series which has such a base, nor do I think that series had a composite connection).I really love this television, as it has brought much more beautiful colors into my life!

I was tracking this particular model from last year. The previous model KU7000 was popular and received so many positive reviews. I was waiting for this one as it is the second upgrade in this segment. Having its debut on March, 2017 at $799.99, it has already been sold a lot. I have been observing the ups and downs in the price and got an amazing deal on Amazon at $644.44 on July 9, 2017. In this price, getting a 49" 4k HDR 7-series TV is a massive bargain.Anyway, the picture quality is awesome as expected. There are lot of calibration tweaks available on different sites in the internet, you can adjust your settings to that. Adding a sound system would be great but it works superbly in my bedroom. I have also connected it with my laptop, which is just a HD laptop of 2012, but the upscaling on the TV is awesome. I got a 10ft HDMI Cable from Amazon in $12.99 and can work from leaning on the wall and from the bed! I have also connected portable HDD with the TV and watched movies flawlessly. The browser of the TV is fast and remote works fine!I intend to buy a PS4 Pro and play games on it. So far all the positive reviews that I read on Amazon before buying this TV have been correct for me. The only problem I faced was during connecting the stand with the TV. It seems that the screws are not designed to be totally connected. I think it provides flexibility and dampening effect to the TV during earthquakes or any other indirect vibrations. I tried strongly to insert the screws as much as possible. Anyway, it is working fine now.I really recommend this TV to anyone. It is future proof for next three years at the least, user friendly and has all the features necessary for gamers and users.

This is the big entertainment TV for the finished basement. Was a little bummed when I had to set up a delivery date a week out but I understand why. It is a big, expensive 65 inch TV. They can't just chuck it on the porch and run. But with Amazon Prime you get spoiled and expect stuff in 2 days. With that said, it was worth the wait. The guys who set it up did a great job and were in and out in probably a half hour. The TV is really, really nice. When viewing 4k content, you really see the difference and I was perfectly happy with 1080p resolution.This TV delivers a stunning picture even on non HDR stuff. I won't pretend I am a TV guru, with facts about contrast ratios and white balance dEs, I just know when I get a Samsung TV it doesn't disappoint. It is my understanding this model is either the top tier of the entry level series or the middle of the road series. Either way, you should expect that it has a few more bells and whistles and a bit snazzier and maybe a few more options than the bare bones entry level model but its performance can't be compared to a $3,000 OLED TV either. Apple and oranges. It is like saying an Accord doesn't deliver the refined craftsman ship and smooth handling of a Jaguar. Yeah, I guess not. For the money, I think this a a real value and I read several reviews from independent sources that indicated the same thing. Ready to go big, and dive into 4k viewing, I can't think of a better place to start.
