    Thanks OP. Am tempted to pull the plug.
    This TV claims to come with a universal remote making it an even better value for money. A logitech universal remote costs around $100+.
    Supported devices for oneremote https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/one-remote-device-list/

      The universal remote is one possibly the only negative thing about this tv (depending on which type of remote you prefer).

      It's very counterintuitive, the voice search is useless, and you have to press several buttons in order to do something that takes one button click on a standard remote (the unified remote only has a few buttons).

      The only other 'negative' thing I can think of, is the fact that (unlike the previous series which had a central stand) this tv has a 4 leg stand (this "may" be an issue if your stand/cabinet/etc is not very wide.

      I'm pretty sure you can buy a Logitech universal remote for a lot less than $100, depending on the model of the remote, but I'm pretty sure I've seen their top of the line remotes in the high $50s.

      I have a Logitech remote, not top of the line, but I love it. The main problem with it is that I had to set it up using a PC first.

      Ps. TV (at least the 6000 series) was reputably not true 10 bit, but more 8+2 (whatever that means).

      • damz on 05/09/2019 - 08:47

        Can you recommend a decent logitech uremote for < $100…

        • BooYa on 05/09/2019 - 11:01
          +1

          Sure. I was looking at some on eBay the other day actually.

          I will get back to you by tomorrow.

        • BooYa on 05/09/2019 - 11:22

          Had a very quick look.

          I have this one (here for $35) https://www.amazon.com.au/Logitech-Harmony-Universal-Remote-…

          It does everything you'd want in a remote.

          The other one I was looking at buying at first, was this one, which seems to be the $39 one with a tiny display (here for $59)
          https://www.mwave.com.au/product/logitech-harmony-650-univer…

          I see there are a couple of new ones for $200-300 even, I'm not sure what they can do that the $39 can't (other than the display, and possibly some 'smart' features?).

          So, it looks like I was wrong about their top remotes being in the $50s, but I don't think those existed when I bought mine.

          I can have a better look, but you can't go wrong with the 350 or 650 models, and while they were $100 plus not long ago, they seem like a steal at that price (especially the 350).

          The 350 I have is very well made, feels sturdy, looks fantastic, has softer (rubber?) buttons which are better than the plastic ones imho because they're not slippery but still feel firm, and it does everything my Foxtel, TV, and Xbox remotes do (possibly better than the original remotes).

          Just one thing - they are longer than usual remotes, and the 350 while not really heavy, is not light (I'd describe it as a very sturdy feel).

          Have a look at the Logitech and see what the other models have, that the cheaper ones don't.

          Ps. Had to edit the links, hope this works.

            @BooYa: I have the 650 and I can rate it. it's simple and it works. My parents have one of the touch screen ones. I find the touch screen a PITA to use. Tactile buttons are easier to find and muscle memory kicks in after a while with the 650. I always need to look at the screen on my parents and often grab the original remotes as it ends up being faster for programming and tweaking which is what I normally do at thier place. programming/tweaking at my place is fine with the 650.

            • BooYa on 05/09/2019 - 12:49
              +1

              @javajo: Oh, they're touch screen?!

              Wow, I can imagine how counterintuitive they must be and, like you said, you have to look at the remote screen instead of the tv every time you want to do something.

              So, we both prefer the cheaper ones.

              Thanks a lot for the feedback, I appreciate it, and I think damz will find this info helpful as well.

          • damz on 08/09/2019 - 18:57

            Thank you very much for taking the time.
            extremely appreciated…

            yes.. i will go for one of the either….350 or 650 :)

        • BooYa on 05/09/2019 - 13:44

          Another option is to use the Samsung Smart View app on your Samsung phone to mirror your phone's screen on your Samsung tv.

          This Smart View app, is completely different from the one you download from the store (just the names are the same).

          You access this app from your settings (not apps) since it's built into the phone.

          This app allows you to mirror your Samsung phone's screen on the Samsung tv (you basically see the phone screen as it is on your tv, no matter what you're doing, no need to 'cast' with different apps).

          Or you can use the Smart View app from the store, you can do everything with it (including typing text into apps like the internet browser with the built in keyboard and 'mouse'), change source input, etc.

          But you can't mirror the phone screen with it. The Smart View app you download from the store basically functions as a remote for the tv (but it's awkward to use since the buttons, mouse, and keyboard are just icons on the phone screen).

          Also on your phone, there's a good app you can download from the Google Playstore, called Remote for Smart TV | Smart & WiFi Direct, made by backslash.

          This app has the same remote button layout as the full remote.

    • BooYa on 04/09/2019 - 22:49

      The Telstra plans, are they still current, and do they have mobile plans, and what's the minimum term (1 or 2 years)?

      Thanks.

      Ps. These Telstra plans are not tied to this tv in any way, are they?

      I mean you can just buy a Telstra plan with another product, or even by itself?

      • atomnaya on 06/09/2019 - 08:52

        Yeah, the Telstra plan was bought separately as her plan was ending. Not tied to TV's or anything. As far as I know its still current.

        You can get 12 or 24 month plan. You can either get a gift voucher or a discount on a phone.

  • lachyzee on 04/09/2019 - 09:25

    If you can look past brand name, you might prefer a Hisense 50r7 at this screen size. It has Wide Colour Gamut and Dolby Vision. But only 50hz as compared to 100hz for this Samsung.

    For a little more, the 55r7 has WCG and DV and is 100hz like this Samsung. For me it's the best bet at around this price range. Currently $784 plus delivery at Appliances Online eBay using PILOT20.

    If you think you'll never need DV or WCG, then this is a good buy.

    • chartparker on 04/09/2019 - 09:36

      This might be a good option for a second TV, if you've already got a decent main TV

    • GaelicAU on 04/09/2019 - 09:52

      I bought a Sony Bravia about 10 years ago that was 200hz and seemed an improvement for sports (i.e. fast action). Do you have any advice on good value for money 200hz screens currently on the market?

      • ak-km on 04/09/2019 - 10:38

      • lachyzee on 04/09/2019 - 11:01
        +2

        No such thing as a "200hz" screen for 4K UHD, only 50/60 and 100/120.

        For example, the "200 Smooth motion rate" marketing for certain Hisense TVs actually means 100hz with the insertion of extra artificial black frames to get to "200hz". Other manufacturers have similar marketing gimmicks…

        See e.g. https://www.cnet.com/news/ultra-hd-4k-tv-refresh-rates/

        • BooYa on 05/09/2019 - 05:42

          Similar to Samsung claiming their 6000 series tv were 10 bit, but instead were 8+2 or some other marketing trick.

    • BooYa on 04/09/2019 - 22:47

      Dolby Vision in a sub $1,000 tv is hard to believe.

      I think you mean oled… And no. That doesn't future proof anything lol

    • BooYa on 05/09/2019 - 05:57

      Qled stands for quantum led pixels (I think, from memory).

      Considering that quantum effects occur (and are only detectable/visible) at subatomic level, I suspect it's more of a marketing trick.

      Also, I think it's proprietary technology (no one else can make it because it's copyrighted) which makes it more likely to be a marketing ploy.

      Not to say that quantum effects do not affect electronics, IC chips (memory, cpu, etc) have such thin layers that quantum effects need to be considered.

      I just don't know howthis would improve picture quality.

      Oled on the other hand, is another technology all together, and there's a big difference in picture quality between oleds and all other display technologies.

      They are also notoriously hard to manufacture, so their prices are higher.

      I remember reading somewhere on a review site that qled is Samsung's way of making higher end tvs, for which they can charge more, without having to buy or make oled panels.

      Qleds apparently are better quality in some ways than led or oled, but only in a small number of ways.

      From memory (again sorry) qled are meant to have higher brightness, or something like that.

      Ps. It's been almost a year since I did my research before buying a tv, so my memory is not very reliable, and it's possible that most (or all) I've just typed is wrong (but I think most of it is true).

      Having said that, I have the 6000 series normal Samsung 50" led tv and I absolutely love it, the picture is close to perfect as it is.

      So, in a few days, I don't think you'd notice any difference between a led or qled tv once you got used to whichever one you got, they're both outstanding panels.

      I bought it almost a year ago and I'm still blown away by the picture quality sometimes.

      The only thing that is not that great, is detail in dark areas, this is inherent to the led technology (and I think qled too) but is absent in oled tvs - oleds have perfect blacks, because they can turn individual pixels off, while leds have a filter in front of a led that is always on, blocked by a filter that can never block 100% of the light escaping from the tv in dark scenes.

      Luckily I don't watch a lot of movies, so I don't need perfect blacks, but even when I do watch a dark movie it's not that bad, but if you're going to watch a lot of movies you may want to consider paying a bit more for an oled tv.

    I have this TV. Bought it a few months ago at Good Guys.

    Very good TV. Fast channel switching. The usual suspects for interwebs. Picture is great. Plenty of inputs. Remote is fine.

    No PVR. No headphone jack. No ability to connect wireless keyboard. And no bluetooth (not sure about OP’s post saying it has. Perhaps it’s been updated since then?)

    Overall, I’m very happy.

    • BooYa on 04/09/2019 - 22:43

      I have the 6000 series, and it has Bluetooth, but you need to enable it in settings (I have connected a Bluetooth keyboard for internet and it works great).

      If the next generation (the 7000 series) did not have Bluetooth it would be a big step back.

      Yes you can, using the Smart View app, made by Samsung Galaxy (but both tv and phone must be on the same wifi network).

      Ps. I just checked it on the tv browser, and the keyboard works great, the mouse is a bit harder to control in fine detail.

  • WadeSchmade on 11/09/2019 - 23:16

      I think, but I'm not sure that they come with the unified remote (the one with a few buttons) but it's also compatible with other devices such as Foxtel and Xbox.

    • BooYa on 12/09/2019 - 00:26
