i received this tv on a discount to review it through a Swedish service called smartson, first off the big issue everyone has the antiglare is a none issue, this is by far the best panel I have ever seen ever, the colors are amazing and the brightness is flawless, my sony tv is still doing colors and details better overall but after changing settings I honestly am ok with what I have as my sony can't even get close to this brightness or extremely vibrant colors, Samsung also has better build material and an overall better design.

This TV however is absolutely terrible for PC use it throttles as the brightness is way too high on a tv it's less controlled than on anything else. Hence, it pushes the highest brightness nonstop, it's an amazing brightness. Still, eventually, it dims, sony TVs dim too but when nothing is moving the image in order to protect it from burning, a sony tv has a large heatsink to combat dimming, you need to shake a window and it comes back, this Samsung tv dims until you turn it off and on, the other issue this tv has is crashes and instability, overall running this tv in 4k 144 hz on a rtx 3080 is a complete mess, there's a possibility it's a problem with my PC BUT the brightness can't be, game mode as mentioned in the video is also a complete mess and I fear you get a very bad gaming experience if game mode is off due to latency.

I strongly recommend this TV for it's insanely eye-popping quality I recommend it if you prefer a well-lit environment as the antiglare works I don't care for it but it works with no downsides, it is a joy to watch so it's probably perfect for media, but I can't say the same for gaming I am not sure if the experience is different on a console but on a PC which was my main use for it it failed

overall I will keep testing and assess if I should keep it I will see how the performance is overall, and if I can live with it dimming as it doesn't always dim now it's pretty stable, as well as if Samsung has something to say, if a firmware update solves it, the panel is so perfect so amazing that you can excuse many of this TVs flaws.
