After unboxing this beast, the first thing that struck me was how *natural* everything looked. Coming from an older LG LCD, the QNED's contrast is no joke—dark scenes in 'Stranger Things' finally didn’t look like a murky gray soup. The Quantum Dot + NanoCell combo makes colors pop without that cartoonish oversaturation some 4K TVs have.

The Magic Remote’s pointer? Adorable but chaotic. Trying to click tiny app icons from my couch felt like playing Wii Sports after three coffins. Pro tip: Sit closer or embrace the directional buttons. Sound quality surprised me for such a slim frame—Dolby Audio gave my budget soundbar a midlife crisis during 'Dune' explosions.

Setup was painless (minus the novel-length user agreement). I immediately yeeted the WiFi connection like others suggested—my USB movie stash works flawlessly on a 4TB exFAT drive despite LG’s 2TB 'recommendation.' Sports fans beware: Fast football plays occasionally ghost like they’re in a Scooby-Doo chase scene.

One weird quirk? The TV seems to think I’ve abandoned it if I leave for 5 minutes (yes, all sleep timers are off). Maybe it’s just lonely. Overall? For movies and gaming, it’s phenomenal—just prepare to wrestle some 'smart' features into submission.
