Cons
Con Doesn’t look good from an angle
The picture quality of this TV is terrible when the angle between the viewer and the panel is greater than 10 degrees because at this point the viewer will experience noticeable black level degradation. Once the viewing angle reaches 21 degrees, all the other colors will start to degrade. This property makes the Samsung MU6300 not suitable for watching with a crowd.
Con Poor HDR capabilities
This TV can not play HDR content properly because the highlights look too dim when the TV is dealing with the HDR content. The panel can't get bright enough to make the highlights pop in the HDR mode.
