Look for the QLED Samsung instead.
Purchased the Samsung UN65TU7000FXZA 65 in. 4K Crystal UHD TV. Had it a couple months now and overall it's just okay. For the cost of this t.v. I would recommend a QLED 4K Samsung instead or Sony 4K uhd. Read other reviews!
Pros:
The size is true to screen.
The screen is very close to the edges and that is a nice feature.
Connectivity easy enough for all ages.
Setup is fairly simple for WiFi or wired.
Pretty lightweight and easy to move around.
The Sound quality is decent.
Neg:
Remote buttons are too close together. Big, To many buttons as well.
The legs are too far apart. Needs a center stand.
Sounds okay but needs a sound bar. Then it's nice when paired with the TV.
Ports; needs 2 usb, 3 hdmi and most importantly needs to not be in a recessed small square as it's preventing a lot of devices from connecting to them without a flexible extension cable.
“Picture” difficult to get the settings right. After about 3 weeks I finally got it as close as I can but still have yet to get the picture right! It's either jittery, fuzzy, blurry or cloudy and back in forth between all of the above. Movies you can get almost spot on unless it's action ones. Sports or any flick with a lot of action you will have to readjust settings again to see it more clearly. No matter how many times I've tried to change the settings including resetting and not changing almost anything it always has a slight cloudiness, or fuzziness, or blurry ness and it just never stays at where it should. I am a huge sports fan and part time gamer. Hundreds of reviews and videos on how to get the settings close as you can and I would recommend you look them up.
If you are a sports fanatic or gamer as well I would go QLED Samsung as it's highly recommended for both uses. This is a decent spare room TV as I recommend looking for their slightly higher end Tv's for main living area.

Hi Idaho Redhead,
We appreciate your purchase and detailed review of the TU7000 TV. I have a few recommendations for you that may resolve the issue you are experiencing with a distorted picture.
First, let's ensure you are running the latest Firmware. Go to Settings> Support> Software Update.
For optimal motion image performance, you may want to adjust the picture clarity setting by going to Settings > Picture > Expert Settings > Picture Clarity Settings.
- Off: Picture Clarity Settings will always be off
- Auto: Picture Clarity Settings will automatically activate and deactivate based on the type of program being watched
- Custom: Allows custom adjustments and settings to be used. By selecting the Custom option, you can access these advanced settings for Judder Reduction, LED Clear Motion, and Noise Reduction.
It's also possible the issue may be due to not connecting correctly with an external device. Please check your connection with these steps:
1. Disconnect and reconnect the power cables and HDMI cables on the back of your TV, then unplug the power cord and plug it back into the wall outlet.
2. If the external device supports UHD video, use a dedicated HDMI cable (4K) for HDMI video playback.
3. If a component cable is used, make sure that the colored connectors are connected to the matching connectors on the external device and the TV.
4. Check the cable connection if you use a set-top box. The cable you need to check depends on the type of set-top box.
5. Make sure that your access point is connected to the Internet. If not, disconnecting and reconnecting its power cable may be required.
6. If the problem persists, check the video output settings in the settings menu of the external device, and ensure that your TV supports the video output mode.
Please note that the compression of video content may cause picture distortions, especially in fast-moving pictures from sports programs and action movies.
- If the signal reception is weak or poor, screen distortion may be visible, but it is not a malfunction.
- Mobile phones used close to the TV (within 3.2 ft) may cause noise on analog and digital channels.
