Pros:
+Amazing black levels
+Incredibly thin
+Insane brightness level (I would say on par with QLED)
+High saturated colors (if that's your thing)
+Good software and apps (xbox cloud gaming is cool! Samsung dex works well)
+Price is, currently, very good for new tech.
+Fantastic for gaming
Bad:
-Very bad quality assurance.
-Back panel is plastic and prone to warping the frame of the tv.
-Antiglare coating comes off with any thing. No joke a finger print & light touches will rub it off.
-Samsung OS can be slow and unresponsive too often.
-No Dolby Vision
-Unproven long term reliability of QOLED
How can this TV be better?
*Dolby Vision
*Stronger build quality
*Optimize OS and/or better processing (it can get irritating)
*Better QC
*Better application of antiglare coat

Have you had any quality issues with warping the frame on your units?
Has your antiglare coating come off?
New technology to market will always have some unknowns
As for the lack of Dolby Vision..you knew that going in and still bought the Samsung twice
With all of that..why did you buy two of the Samsung units and why didnt you buy the Sony version , since per the items on your list, it has less negatives?
CES announced a S95C line with a 77. I'd love to replace my C1 with that, if Samsung offers a deal. I miss the brightness of my older set and additional color.

2. I cleaned the first one with the same stuff I cleaned an LG C1 and it wiped off the antiglare completely in one third of the screen. Horrible. Because the TV also had loud electrical noises, i got it replaced by Samsung.
3. Not really question but yeah, I know this and I accept to be one of the guinea pigs, but it's still a negative since there's no security.
4.Dolby Vision is better but I personally can live without. HDR10 or w.e. Samsung uses is enough for me. But again, DV is better.
5. Everything has pros and cons. I'm not saying Samsung is trash by listing it's negatives. Sony in my opinion has the best quality but it comes at a price. I'm assuming you're referring to the A95k OLED.
I went with Samsung for the price. I got BOTH TVs for $2800. The Sony is $3000 for one. I'm going to sale one when the 75" version is released, it's much easier to sale a TV at $1000 than a $2000 in the FB marketplace.

CES LG stated the new G3 would be up to 70% brighter. That would make it a lot closer to this model I believe

In my opinion, there are really no negatives for this Samsung at the price it is being sold
The alternative is to buy the Sony..period
You have , with QD-OLED, what the majority of people think is the best picture quality out there right now
Just saw notice that the employee pricing was going to end 1-28-23. Not sure if that is current pricing or. ........

I am getting my delivery tomorrow.
There is know issue with this model. Due to the slim profile the top area can be easily bended. There is know firmware issue with the brightness level downgrade to half.
