It was a combination of the beautiful design of the curved screen along with the outstanding picture quality that drew us to this TV.
The TV speaker sound quality is really good, especially considering there is so little space for speakers in this extremely thin TV, but for the best sound you really need to have a surround sound system. If you don't have one, you don't know what you're missing - it adds so much to the whole experience.
It was very easy to set up and has a lot of features - most of which we will probably never use. The "Smart TV" options are not something important to us, but it seems like all the "high-end" TVs include some sort of smart features. If you want a quality TV, you get all those extras along with it.
We do really like the 3D features, however, we were disappointed with the lack of 3D movies available to buy. This is something I've never been interested in...until I watched Gravity in 3D on this TV. It's pretty awesome and looks great. The 3D glasses it comes with are quite comfortable and the quality is fantastic.
The voice-activated features are cool, but somewhat of a novelty. I doubt we will use them a lot. One of the voice commands I was excited about using is "what movies are on right now." It displays a list of all movies, but unfortunately, it includes channels we don't subscribe to. We edited the guide in the TV to remove those channels, but it still shows us channels we don't have. If this feature worked, I would use it regularly, but as it is, it's not worth much. It's possible there may be a delay and after the guide updates it could work correctly.
We like the IR remote for quickly accessing menu items (it also comes with a standard remote), but we actually prefer our Sony universal remote to both of these.
I recommend getting the Disney WOW DVD for help with setting up the picture options. The out-of-the box settings are way off (IMHO) and this DVD makes it easy.
We've only had the TV for a couple of weeks, so we are still experimenting with the different settings and so far we love it.

I waited two weeks to write this review, I wanted to be sure, and helpful to others. Buy it! Curved screen is awesome. Picture has depth and 3D look when it is not 3D. Very little side fade--hard to notice any. I can't imagine needing more from a viewing experience--you feel like you are watching in a theater. Sound is good and has surround feel and audio. TV weighs about 30 pounds unboxed (48 inch). Lifted it and set it up with no help (I am over 70). stand was easy to install.
Easy setup and good directions for quick start guide and setup. Basically connects to the internet automatically if you are using a wireless network--finds it in 2 seconds or less and asks for your security code or PIN---enter it, and you are connected, and, all features are working on new TV. Then you choose your preferances, it guides you through a personal setup menu geared to your habits. Setup took about 15 minutes being careful and methodical.
Great new kind of remote is included, and is great if you Game, Facebook, Tweet or use your TV for social media interacting--I don't, but like the remote.
I have DirecTV and I like the remote with the Genie DVR so I programmed the Directv remote to operate everything and saved the new remote for just in case.---DIRECTV REMOTE PROGRAM CODE FOR THIS SAMSUNG THAT WORKED FOR ME ---10814
You will get a choice of 4 pre-set picture types or qualities in setup--- the one that is the most realistic is ----MOVIE--select it---then you can adjust contrast and brightness on all 4 easily--MOVIE was perfect with no adjustments for all types of programs---the other modes are STANDARD---or---DYNAMIC --or---? (can't remember 4th one) It is easy to go to setup menu at anytime and change the setting.
Has 4 pair of nice 3D glasses with batteries that are activitated and paired with the TV easily. You turn on the glasses and TV pairs with them.
Amazon special delivery was very good, was delivered by special van exactly as scheduled, they unboxed, checked to make sure screen was not damaged and hooked up to power to make sure that was OK. offered to take the box and packing, but I kept for a few days in case of return. Delivery people were polite and helpful, wanted to make sure I was totally satisfied before they left. Very pleased---Love shopping and buying at AMAZON--my store for everything.
