Still, it's concerning that the experience wasn't perfect out of the box. Amazon advised me to do a factory reset and that fixed my problems. In fact, the TV felt sluggish and temporarily froze when I was moving through menus at first. You may never notice this unless you walk up close, but I look at nice screens for a living and it bothered me.ДЄmazon said the software is kept at a lower resolution to make sure the user interface is smooth and optimized.

The icons were blurry when I sat about four to five feet from the screen. This isn't a big deal if you sit about nine feet away from the TV, but I sit closer.

For instance, you can adjust the TV color modes, like presets for movies or sports, but you cannot adjust the brightness with Alexa.

Alexa understood most of my commands just fine, especially general ones that you'd typically give to an Echo.
