Sony XBR55X850C 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV (2015 Model)

Sports viewing - I watched a ton of football on this over the weekend and it was without exception, exceptional. No motion blur whatsoever. Of course it's technically a 120hz panel
Awesome picture quality. Playing 4K 60 fps videos is treat for the eyes. Colors are breath-taking. Smooth picture.
Upscaling to 4K is excellent and justifies buying a 4K TV; HD looks better on this 4k TV than a native HD TV.
As a TV, it looks beautiful, excellent picture quality, stunning 4K ultra HD video
Picture is nice but has banding issues , back light bleeding (lots of it)

Samsung UN50JU7500FXZA Curved 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV

Excellent TV for gaming. I bought this display specifically for playing 4K games on a GTX 1080. I'm using it with a racing setup with Project Cars. Just. Wow. The display is so clean at 4K it looks like a monitor.
The 4K resolution adds a lot of smoothness to the picture
This thing is amazing. super bright, clear, very nice. the true motion stuff is sort of weird to get used to at first but its cool after a while. the screen is just amazing. i cant explain it.
The curved display is icing on the cake when sitting close, as I am.
Unfortunately, the screen is highly reflective.
The curved screen is very reflective when the TV is turned off and might be a problem if positioned opposite large windows

What customers say about "Video"

Sony XBR55X850C 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV (2015 Model)

BEAUTIFUL screen. I mean, glorious on all viewing scenes with deep contrast, inky blacks and brilliant whites.
For its price tag it gives a truly breathtaking 4k picture, superb upscaling quality to 1080p source material, great 3D, and can show a really stunning Netflix HD and 4k picture.
The Colors are... Incredible and beautiful. That TRILUMINOS display Sony has makes a HUGE difference to the colour quality and not in an 'overly saturated' way, but in a way that makes the colours draw you into the scene, where appropriate.
More muted scenes do not get oversaturated and colourful scenes are just a joy to watch with deep colour detail and rich, vibrant (and importantly, faithful) colour reproduction
Darker corners about 1-2inches each end despite changing brightness and display settings.
This tv has major lag / delays when rendering sports and motion is blurry as well.

Samsung UN50JU7500FXZA Curved 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV

Absolutely amazing UHD, rich realistic colors, no motion lag, and surprised to find out it has 3D! Wonderful purchase.
We have DishNet and played regular programing and we were impressed with the upscaling. On some programs we had on our DVR like RIO 2 I thought it looked totally like 4k.
The upscaling is very good and with so little 4k content available right now that is important.
The 3D is pretty dang cool, but I found out right away that I'm going to have to buy a new 3D Blu Ray machine If I want to watch one on anything other than the special 3D channel that's built in.
Default settings have extreme motion blur and artifacts
Severe wash-out if you're too close

What customers say about "Audio"

Sony XBR55X850C 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV (2015 Model)

Sound is fairly good for a TV this thin.
As for sound it is not half bad for a "TV" but I suggest a good sound bar.
The sound is actually pretty good. Even at pretty high volumes it's distortion free. I'd say you definitely don't "need" to add additional speakers or a soundbar, but obviously they will help.
Sound is clear but missing the bass and like all thin TV's needs an external speaker system.
Great picture easy to set up and navigate only con is the sound could be better

Samsung UN50JU7500FXZA Curved 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV

One of the selling points for me on this TV was the inclusion of some decent woofers (20 W, in addition to the 20 W mid-high range speakers)... not sub-woofers though. So bass handling is better than my previous 2013 6-series LED Samsung TV
The sound is pretty clear considering they are box speakers in the television.
Sound quality: Amazing! this thing seems to have a subwoofer built in. there are a few modes. one of them is Sports mode which amplifies EVERYTHING and makes the speakers super loud.
The bass quality is really good being stock embedded speakers inside a tv. you have access to a graphic equalizer, and you can fully customize everything in the audio. You have Cinema mode too which rocks and sounds really good.
The only con I found is the sound so far which I didn't like. It is very low and hard to hear people speak sometimes. So with it I bought a sound bar to compliment this tv.

What customers say about "Interfaces"

Sony XBR55X850C 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV (2015 Model)

Android TV is ok. It does the job and the voice control is good
The Android OS and built in app is very good and easy to use.
The capabilities that I was looking for are fairly standard ones: Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, DLNA support, Google Cast, USB, 4K upscaling, HDMI ARC for the receiver, and an HDMI port for plugging in a laptop. This TV had everything that I needed.
The WIFI setup is easy. It supports Bluetooth. You can download apps.
Android OS is a pro and a con. Its relatively sluggish and getting to menu options is a bit cumbersome. I could do common tasks like access picture and audio options much quickly on my dumb LG tv.
Can't have the TV always start on a specific HDMI port, it starts off on the android screen or where you left off last.

Samsung UN50JU7500FXZA Curved 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV

There are really no ports on the tv itself. there's a standard red/white/yellow(right,left, video) video port, and a yybbgg video for older HD devices and a high density port for this external device samsung includes with the tv. this little box has 4 hdmi ports, 2 usb ports and a TOSLINK port
It has 4 HDMI, USB, optical audio, and many many other inputs/outputs.
Has outstanding media compatibility when playing video files thru the usb port on the tv.
HDMI and optical cable plug into a mini box which connects to the tv with one cable. I like this new system and find it helps with cord management.
