Excellent Picture quality - Buggy firmware = 3 stars pending????
By Elisa and Teddy
Let me start by saying that I hate being an early adopter, but I did so because I needed a new TV. Having said that, I am returning it and going to try a replacement 7150.

Strengths of this TV are:

The panel that is on this TV is amazingly uniform. I cannot see any banding, clouding or DSE on a white image or in bright action scenes - Hockey for example. Did I mention there is no DSE or clouding on this panel. That is amazing to me.

Borrowed calibration settings made this TV really come to life. It renders color very well and life-like. On all sources, digital streaming, Blu-ray, live TV and digital TV. Great picture quality. It has good contrast and while "inky blacks" are not there - the blacks presented are very, very, good.

Smart features are good and the quad core processor flies through the settings and menus easily.

The Bad:

There is just a minute amount of blooming or haloing when highly contrasting objects appear onscreen together.

This unit was very susceptible to "judder" or cadence stuttering from air and DTV stations. I am very observant when it comes to motion stuttering on video. It drove me nuts, it was random and happened quite often on all channels and incoming signal resolutions. Sometimes my wife even noticed. When my wife asks "why is it doing that?" there is something wrong. I tried turning on and off all motion compensation settings - No Go! Off board Roku, Blu-ray sources were fine and solid - I never really use the judder or Blur settings - always off.

Finally - the smart-hub kept locking me out of app streaming from the TV apps (Netflix and amazon prime). Every 4 or 5 hours it would say that the streaming service was not available. I called Samsung support and the adviser remotely reset the smart-hub, and region settings. It worked for a while and then I had to reset all over again - 3 more times before I decided there was something wrong.

I don't know if this is just buggy initial firmware, or I maybe received a bad unit, but the picture quality on this thing is worth giving a replacement another try.

I started my hunt to replace my previous TV with a modern LED TV about a month ago. First I tried a 2013 Panasonic 58" TC-L58E60 - Terrible banding and DSE but great smart apps and fast wi-fi connectivity. I Then tried a 2014 LG 60LB6500 that exhibited a horrible pink color on the right and left side of panel - plus the calibrator said I should exchange because the panel seemed out of spec. Moved up to the direct LED LG 60LB7100 - same pink coloration on left side???? Its too bad, the viewing angles for those sets are really very good. I am now hoping the replacement 7150 will resolve the smart-hub issues. I'll update when I have the replacement.

Wow! Blows away the 7100
By J. Travis
Everything I was disappointed about on the 2013 Samsung 75" 7100 seems to be improved on the 7150. It's thinner, is more vibrant picture, has no washout from angles, and has less glare on the screen in well lit rooms w/ windows, etc. Blacks are really black. Did I say it has a great picture? The only drawback in my book is HDMI 4 sticks directly out the back, so if you have an ultra slim wall mount, get an angled hdmi cord if you need to use this 4th input. PS....there is nothing better than 3D on a 75" tv. It Really pops.

1st Time LED TV buyer, overall--very satisfied.
By DVL
I must preface this first with a somewhat embarrassing fact. In 2014 I still had a Sony Trinitron 36" CRT television that was heavily used daily. Finally came to grips with reality and figured that this television will outgrow my lifetime and will continue to operate long after I'm dead!? I did not want to burden my children with the logistics of moving/removing this behemoth of a TV!

Anyways, I thought I'd put my 2 cents on this Samsung LED TV after spending about 2 weeks with it. As I mentioned before, I've spent 12+ years with a CRT TV so as far as image quality is concerned, I'm completely biased. Any newer modern TV for me will look absolutely great, no matter what! Image quality on this set is sharp, bright, and nicely vivid. There are some oddities with moving images that seem to produce a slight stutter, about maybe every half second or less. Doesn't really bother me now, but I do notice it. It does not occur all the time, very intermittent.

I like this TV's styling too, very thin and nice modern stand.

Originally, I had so much trouble using the TV's smart features, I thought I had a defective unit and was very close to returning the product. The first few days using the Smart Hub features and apps was a very unpleasant experience to say the least. The TV's Smart Hub was extremely lagging and slow, simple operations like turning the volume up or down would take about 1 to 2 minutes to to respond--(not making this up). Certain apps failed to stream or load all together, Amazon, Netflix, Vudu, pretty much everything I attempted to use was or became almost unresponsive. Sometimes the TV would reboot on its own multiple times. I spent a few days trying to figure out if I had a lemon, or if it was a buggy 1st-2nd release of firmware. Luckily, I found a parameter that I disabled that made the TV smart features perform as intended. Disabling the "Instant On" feature on this TV really made a positive difference in the overall performance of basic and advance features. It probably adds another second or two powering up the TV, but no big deal. Smart Hub and apps still do occasional flake-out here and there, but doing this really improves things two-fold!

The smart remote was much better than I expected and functioned very well. The "Wii-like" pointing feature also works great, I like the fact that the pointer only shows up when you lay your thumb on the remote's touch pad. I found myself inadvertently confirming different areas of the screen because the pointer always resets to the middle of the screen, no biggie, something else to acclimate to. I use a Harmony Touch remote and it also works well in controlling the TV... No pointer obviously.

Overall, this TV's picture and smart features are excellent. Very satisfied!!
