Excellent TV for a must…

I've been testing out the new TV for 2 weeks now. It's a superb upgrade to our old TVs.
I bought a stand as I couldn't wall mount the TV. Initially I was quite worried about the stand, considering the weight and size of the TV. However the stand seems to hold the TV quite well surprisingly, and is doing a good job so far.
Screen
The screen’s black's are true deep black's on this OLED screen, for example the screen goes totally black in a dark room during certain scenes, specifically one I noticed during the film Okja, which was quite scary. It has beautiful picture quality with true vivid colours, that makes the media more engaging and brings movies to life, holding the viewers attention more.
The TV displays 4k content in a superior fashion than our older 4k telly non-OLED screen. The images are more clearly defined with greater detail and depth of colour, richer image quality. Also it automatically adjusts the brightness I believe to the background light in the environment and to what's being watched, which is a great feature.
We watched and streamed a few different movies and series on Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Spotify, Mubi. To name a few, Avatar, Okja, The Irishman Squid Games, Strangers Things
Sound
The sound is very good, it can get very loud. I personally use the TV speaker on a low volume setting around 14. When switching between apps there can be drastic volume change for example Netflix is quite low so requires a higher volume setting. Whereas on switching to Disney+ the volume needs to be reduced otherwise things are too loud. This is based on the in-built TV speakers with out-of-the-box settings from the manufacturer i.e. default settings. It does sound great, turning the volume up for me around 34 vol gives that cinematic dramatic sound effect, just like being at the cinema bringing that movie theater experience back home. I haven't needed to set the volume to above 50 the inbuilt speakers are quite loud and it's probably Netflix being too quiet for some reason anyway. Dolby Atmos was not compatible with my headphones, the XM5’s which was disappointing to find out.
Pros
The glossy screen gives a premium hi-tech feel that’s sleek and visually appealing to the eye.
The magic remote is very handy, the cursor button makes navigating the telly simple and easy.
It acts as a useful pointer device, to quickly make a selection when interacting with the TV. There is a microphone for search engines, Google assistant and Alexa. It also has Braille which is impressive and nice.
It turns on very quickly from standby mode. It connects well with all my wireless headphone devices and recognises everyone of them from unknown and well known brands.
Subtitles are actually amazing, with crisp fonts in a large size that is easier to read and view. Wording on the display for various apps has a good size and is easy to read with sharp detail.
Cons
A drawback to the glossy screen is that it is very reflective, like a black mirror, especially when the sun has been shining there is a bit of glare. The bezels seemed quite large on unboxing but I don’t even notice them whilst viewing media on the screen you'll forget they are even there.
Unboxing was quite difficult, I’m a short woman, for the size of TV 55” I'd recommend two people to unbox it, it is easier. The style of the remote doesn't match the TV's chic style, as it's a bit bulky but very functional, practical and something to grip.
