I bought this tv to mostly play PS4/X1 games. It is great for games, as long as you put it in to "game mode." Reaction time is very slow for games otherwise. 1080p and 4k video is amazing on this tv. Settings are easy and calibration takes little time to complete. Lots of setting options to tweak all aspects of the picture. DVDs don't look all that great, but it's okay. Recommend getting a sound bar as audio is sub-par. 5.1 audio pass-through wasn't that great, had to run a separate cable to my headset.

I would recommend this to a friend!

This game is fun to play online with friends, but can get frustrating when you are new to it. Best to play with friends, if possible. The multiple characters and abilities allow you to play a balanced game, but it is online only. No single player.

It's pretty good for the price! I bought mine for my kids to share and use.
For this price, you may just want to buy one for each kid since mine tend to fight over it! The charging port on mine seems to not be working well (have to push it up to connect properly), but the kids tend to just rip the power cord out without any care. You may not have the same problem.

I like using this charger (especially since it was free with pre-order of S6) as I don't have to worry about plugging in a cord and can just grab it any time I get a notification and place it back down.
My only complaint about it is once your battery is fully charged, it will not maintain a charge, so it begins to discharge and you can only get it to charge again by lifting it and putting it back on the charger. Since it only takes 2 hours to charge, when I wake up it's been off the charger for 4-5 hours and usually down 5-8% from full charge. Would work well as a secondary charger at your desk.

Love the edge setup on the new Galaxy S6 Edge. Doesn't provide a big difference from the normal S6, but it is enough of a design premium that I picked it. The phone functions amazingly, touchscreen is far more accurate than my HTC One M8 I traded it for. Call quality is amazing, especially when calling another S6 and having advanced high quality calling turned on..
You will not be disappointed.

Samsung - 55" Class (54.6" Diag.) - LED - Curved - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV - with High Dynamic Range

Could someone please tell me the width from outer edge of each of the 2 feet that support the tv to see if would fit on my tv stand. I know the width of the tv itself.

I use Rtings.com for all my reviews and calibration settings.
http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ks8500
Per their site, the width for the stand on the 55" is 43.3"
I own this tv and have an enclosed entertainment center, so my concern was the overall width, so I never measured the stand width personally.

Can this be updated to android lollipop OS?

Not sure if Sprint has released the update, but my HTC One M8 got the 5.0 Lollipop update a few weeks ago on Verizon, so it is compatible.
One word of caution, as I have seen with a few phones updated to Lollipop, it causes your battery to drain quicker than 4.4.4 did.
