Great deal! You'll never find a 70" brand TV for such a cheap price!
It's got 4K UHD HDR10 with HDMI 2.1 and eARC and compatible with Alexa, Google and Apple Airplay 2.
Just release last month or so on Samsung's website.

although they tested different sized screens, here's some info:

Unfortunately that doesn't help as the 70 inch a6g is VA and they reviewed the 65 inch IPS

Quote from Miked443

Can some tell me in a nutshell how is crystal hd different from oled or Qled . I have a 55" Qled and I am very happy with that. I'm looking to upgrade to 65" .

It's mostly just marketing. Crystal UHD is still just a 4K LCD. Not new panel technology. It's like when TVs started being marketed as LED. LED TVs are still just LCDs. The LED refers to the way the screen is lit.

QLED achieves some of the highest peak brightness levels, giving you super bright whites, but OLED gives you absolute pitch black; because it isn't backlit. The lighting diodes turn themselves off to create the darkest blacks and best contrast, giving you the most detail out of any other TV panel.

There is nothing better on the market than an OLED, specifically from LG. QLED gets the silver medal (I don't meant that as a bad thing), and LCD/LED/Crystal UHD are all essentially entry level. Bronze medals.

If you have QLED, this is a big step down. As at least one other person has stated, this is the TV you get just for size.

Why? Has nothing to do with the deal post. Which assumes you've done some homework first, or are willing to do all of 30 seconds of searching to figure out if price and quality are a match for you. And no, "every other post about TV's" does not have a rtings link in the OP.

Why not instead throw up the rtings link in the Wiki so that all others will see it up top??? And do your part here. . .

The vizio m7 for 65 inches was or is at this price and you are likely to get much more better features and support from Costco and Vizio warranty. If you don't need 70", the vizio at 65 inches is much better.

Just some clarification for those interested in this TV's aforementioned HDMI 2.1 support; although this TV has some HDMI 2.1 "features"... i.e. eARC and ALLM, it has no VRR support, and since it has a native 60Hz panel with just "motion rate 120", it doesn't support true 4K@120Hz bandwidth.

I feel the same way about brickseek. If someone else has to post the rtings/BS link - you don't get the rep anymore, the link provider does

Not the same quality on ultra high def viewing... The only time you will see a difference is if you were watching a movie that was shot in 4k or higher and you are viewing it from a 4K or higher video file... Unless you are really into watching 4K only or playing video games in 4k only and I would recommend spending the extra money... If you're looking to just have a nice TV to watch streaming services and this is a decent deal.

A friend of mine has this. This is what you get when you don't care about picture quality or functionality. That's exactly why he got it. 2 HDMI ports?! They're on crack.

This TV also has bad clouding (the bright yellowish-looking corners). That's what happens when you don't have a VA panel, though.

As far as "Active HDR" or "HDR10+" goes, it's nothing special. The only difference between it and regular HDR10 is that it adjusts color and contrast settings, on the fly. Other than that, they're the exact same thing.

Get a TV with Dolby Vision. You can still stay in this price range. Hell, Vizio makes $250 TVs with Dolby Vision. You get far superior contrast and 67 billion more colors than HDR. That's not a typo. Anything without Dolby Vision is already obsolete.

This is a VA panel, but its manufactured by Sharp, not Samsung

TU series is horrible and prone to panel failure. If you buy get the warranty.
