Samsung QLED Q70A Series 4K TV (75") (Refurbished)

I just moved to a new city and in setting up my new place to live, I decided that I was going to indulge myself and set up a serious home theatre. This screen is, obviously the centerpiece. I did a lot of research and it felt like this QLED television would hit the right balance of quality, size and price and it most definitely has. It's a gorgeous screen and the set up has it about 12 feet from my sofa so it literally feels cinematic! One thing I would suggest is that, if you're wanting to set it up for hardcore movie watching, dig through the settings and set picture mode to "Filmmaker Mode". It's stunning! I opted not to get a cable TV package here because I was planning on doing everything via streaming, so far, so good. My set up is an AppleTV 4K to handle all of the streaming with a stereo pair of Dolby Atmos capable HomePod 2 speakers which work perfectly for the room size. Now as to why I say "almost perfect" in the headline: What I really wanted (and, sadly, I'll never be able to get) is not a "smart TV". Since I want to be able to handle the streaming through an external device and have the sound running through external speakers, what I wish I could've bought was a stripped down version of this panel with no speakers and no "smart" features. Basically a very very high end large monitor. The TV is enabled with Alexa (which I don't use) and its own App Store (which I also don't use) and some decent speakers (which have never been used since I set up the system). I really wish TV manufacturers would make simple, high quality stripped down televisions with advanced picture settings but none of the rest of it. Now I'm going to go watch something 4K and loud!
