I bought this TV USED - LIKE NEW and I do not regret it. I got the 75" for $1600. I'm sure it'll be cheaper closer to black friday but at the time it was on sale NEW for $2500. The box arrived in perfect condition. Everything fully packaged in OEM packaging. I couldn't find any defects in the box or on the TV. I hung it on the wall turned it on and it works great and has a beautiful picture. I closely compared this with the RU8000, Q60, and Q80. Price was a big factor for me and the performance was good enough across the board to choose the Q70 over cheaper options. I really wanted to the Q80 because of its better brightness and much better viewing angles but it was not even close to the same price bracket at the LIKE NEW Q70 I purchased. I do also own an LG C8 OLED as well so I'll compare these two. PICTURE: The Q70 has awesome colors, very good brightness, extremely strong contrast, black levels look almost perfect, but poor viewing angles. The LG C8 OLED perfect blacks, gets bright but not as bright as most QLEDs, very natural color, and perfect viewing angles. There's no doubt I prefer the picture on the OLED there is just something special and natural about perfect black. With that said I really like the QLED picture as well and in some circumstances the color and brightness do top the OLED, but if I could only have one I would go with the OLED here. GAMING: I bought the QLED instead of an OLED for gaming reasons. OLEDs are known to have burn-in issues and temporary image retention problems. My OLED absolutely has temporary image retention issues from time to time. It is a very heavily used TV by the whole family. The image retention always goes away but it happens regularly and freaks me out so I feel like I have to baby the TV a little. QLED does not have a burn-in risk. It also includes awesome gaming features like fast response time, very low input lag, Freesync, game enhance mode (contrast that really does make your game pop), and auto game detection (game mode turn itself on which is very handy). Gaming is the primary reason I chose the QLED as this TV has all our consoles hooked up to it. SMART INTERFACE: Both the LG and Samsung are fine. I don't really use either and use FireTV instead. I will say the LG stays out of my way better than Samsungs does if not using it is your primary goal like mine. If you do use it though Samsungs has a great selection of apps, they work well and run fast, and I haven't had any connection issues. DESIGN: The Samsung remote is great. It runs the fireTV, the Xbox One X, my LG soundbar, and the TV and I didn't do anything to set it up. It just works out of the box and I use it as the primary remote even when watching FireTV content most of the time. It's very cool. The TV itself is minimal and looks nice on the wall or on the stand. Ambient mode is a nice touch for parties but not a reason to buy this TV over another one. I prefer the LG C8 design in general. Extremely minimal, but it's really very close and subjective. DURABILITY: Seems solid and doesn't feel like its about to break. I actually really like this because the LG C8 feels like it's going to snap every time you touch it. I feel like I can handle this TV confidently without destroying it which is nice. OVERALL: This TV is a great choice if you can get a deal on it. I have no regrets. The picture is beautiful, the gaming options are incredible if gaming is something you'll be doin. The remote is handy. My only complaint is the viewing angles but its not bad and the smart interface won't entirely get out of the way (maybe there's a setting a missed though). Both are minor details which some other TVs do better, but since it shines in the gaming department its easy for me to look past. If you have a a very wide seating arrangement consider the Q80 or an OLED. If you have a very standard couch and love seat or sectional and a chair the Q70 will likely be perfect if its in your target budget. Once you get it on your wall and turn it on and I don't think anyone should be disappointed with this TVs performance.
