It's pretty good.

The picture quality is awesome. You can read tech specs, pixel counts, and color analyses elsewhere; just trust me when I say the picture looks fantastic.
I bought the TV for two reasons: UHD HDR, and Chromecast built-in. Unfortunately, Chromecast support needs work. The TV loses connection with the provided remote on a regular basis, and sometimes the remote simply won't recognize that the TV exists - even after a full power cycle (TV, remote, router(!)) or two. Very frustrating.
The remote also appears to have some gimped version of Android, so a lot of apps simply don't support it. For example, I can control my TV with the remote, but not my wifi connected AC because of the lack of support.
Another mixed positive: audio pass-through works very well. Oddly, however, there is an audio sync issue when playing through the TV speakers. With stock settings, the sound is better synced through my 5.1 system than the speakers - which is just weird. Good luck getting a perfect audio sync.
Overall, I like the TV. I wish I could love it, fully expected to, but the quirks are just too annoying to allow me to fall in love. Oh well. I don't regret my purchase.
