Saumsung 43" Class QLED Q60A Series - 4K TV

I had high hopes for this TV after putting a lot of time into researching the different options around this price point. When I first received it, it worked fine - my first impressions were: good picture quality out of the box, didn't require much optimization at all, Smart features are very comprehensive - I liked the way it aggregated content from multiple streaming services. I liked the neat little solar powered remote. The sound, however, was disappointing vs. the 10yr old LG set it replaced - tinny, with hardly any bass - not particularly surprising given how thin the TV is, but I would agree with other reviews that you really need a sound bar for this TV if you care about good quality sound. I purchased a Samsung sound bar and was pleased to see it integrated well with the TV, operating from the same remote etc. All was well until about 5 days later when I turned on the TV one afternoon and it seemed to freeze after just a few seconds on on-time. I restarted the set thinking it was just a temporary glitch, and was disturbed to see that the exact same behavior occured again.... And again... And again... The TV developed an issue where it stuck in a "boot loop" - it would start up, get to the intro menu, but within a few seconds would completely freeze and then restart. There is absolutely nothing I could do to get it to stop this behavior - it was impossible to get to the Settings menu because the TV would freeze before I could navigate to the menu. I tried everything - powering down the set, switching power cords, scoured the internet for any ways of resetting the set, but absolutely nothing worked. Samsung support was useless - all they could offer was referral to a third party service center that likely would have charged me to come and try the same troubleshooting steps I had already done, so in the end I decided to simply return the set for a refund. I since replaced it with an equivalently priced Sony set which has just as good picture and smart capabilities, but with much better sound and a more robust interface. I was disappointed as I really wanted to stick with the Samsung, but the inescapable boot loop issue destroyed my confidence in it, and for that reason I strongly recommend against buying this particular set.
