Just a few early comments about this just in case anyone else is thinking of getting this;
1) TV stand is ***** awful to put together, unless mine was just badly manufactured. The two parts of the stand itself (not the plate that attached to the back of the tv) slide together perfectly but just don't fit well together at all - and the bolt you need to remove first to supposedly lock them back together isn't long enough by far to hold them together anyway. Other than that It was no problem at all, updated system software straight away and it finds my plex server (although its a pain to use, far too many blank / generic folders after my "movies" folder - where as on every other device I have, go into Plex /Movies and it displays all 600 odd films)
2) Very slightly disappointed that Samsung didn't enable all 3 HDMI inputs for UHD /HDR - now it looks like I have to pay for a 4k / HDR HDMI switch to use both the UHD player and the Xbox S . Given how cheap the actual inputs would be to upgrade all 3, its a bit naughty to only do one.
3) Certainly on my setup guide it looks like the UHD HDMI input (1) is nearest the top of the screen, on my TV its definitely nearest the bottom / nearest the Wired lan port.
4) In regards to the Samsung UHD player - very cheap of Samsung to not include a high speed hdmi cable with a £300 player (ok I only paid £150 as I bought it with the screen but rrp is £300 so should include a cable imo)
For some reason I thought the ID4 disc included with the player was the recent version which I'm not interested at all, glad to see its the 90's version which I'm sure I will watch a few times.
Wont have a real chance until much later to play some films but its looking really good so far. For the price I paid I'm more than happy but think the above comments are fair even at this price.

Not surprised to see so many of you going for this over "monitors" as it puts the monitor indsutry to shame even more.
