Here is my experience:There is annoying lag with the tv when using the remote

There is some lag in the sports games with meters but not enough to make it terrible and unplayable

Unacceptable freezing/lagging with remote control responsiveness

The system is very slow screen lags sometimes it's a weird picture

I have already invested in a excellent set of powered external speakers (R,L, plus Woofer) and all I need is a 3.5 mm jack, but the Samsung TU8000 UNBELIEVABLY does not provide this.

is great and you can contol with Alexa as well as via a voice button on the remote

CAN'T REMOVE IT FROM HOME SCREEN, and there's a frustratingly easy-to-accidentally-hit button on the crappy remote that starts it instantly
