Start streaming in brilliant 4K picture and vivid HDR color with Roku Express 4K+. The fast wireless performance gives you a smooth streaming experience, even with multiple streaming devices connected to your network—it’s perfect for watching in 4K! Use the included voice remote to power up your TV, adjust the volume, and control your streaming so you don’t have to juggle remotes. Easily give voice commands to search, launch channels, turn captions on, and more in just a press. Best of all, Roku streaming gives you a massive selection of free and live TV, and a customizable home screen with your favorite channels, like Netflix, Max, Disney Plus, YouTube, Prime Video, and more, front and center. Setup is a cinch with everything you need in the box, including a Premium High Speed HDMI® Cable. Roku Express 4K+ also works with popular voice assistants. Ask Alexa or Hey Google to launch channels, search for entertainment, control your streaming, and more. You can also control your TV using the Apple Home app or Siri on your Apple devices.

Got this to match the color Note 10+ phone. Sound is good but not great as bass is a bit weak. Also wish Samsung had additional software audio enhancements that are found on the newer Buds Pro.

I am having trouble getting my Spectrum DVR\cable remote to work on this TV. I've tried everything. Any advice?

Try using the SEIKI codes or Westinghouse codes. I think I just my remote scan thru to find the right codes.

One thing I'm not able to do is change the input (video source) with the Spectrum remote which I think is a shortcoming in the TV and not the remote.
