This OneConnect concept stinks (a junction box that functions like an HDMI switchboard with Arc-like smarts but regrettably functions as the TV's dedicated driver and peripheral brain connected by a proprietary fiberoptic umbilical cord with no room for cleverly extending or piggybacking to my existing prewired walls with the clever use of baluns, etc. Not to be snob but my DIY days of creatively running exposed wires along baseboards, under carpets etc, are simply over. I've moved on to a world where wires aren't exposed , even wires that they consider "invisible" wires, puh=leez. With an AV closet far from the final destination TV nooks all has been slickly prewired and, I thought , future-proofed for; many generations of TV's to come. designed to be hidden and well protected in the walls.where wires should be, now thats "invisible". With this setup, the TV can only be connected to the brain via this one cable and I aint buying their extra long $200 proprietary accessory extension cable to run all the way to the av closet. Like a college kid running a spool of 12 g speaker wire under the bed, over the doorway, behind the sofa, round the toilet, with the final unused length coiled in the plant for his first set of stereo speaker incense-god monolithic speakers, I'm getting that vibe again as I realize that I'm gonna have to just leave the brain next to the TV and have another switchboard in the av closet, and keep the ROKU after all since the smart part of the TV has to stay at the end of the chain next to the TV doing me no good for all my peripherals. . ut, I for one am not thrilled by this setup, nor did I understand the limitation when purchased One Connect....Thats right...one and only One way to connect to this TV.

didn't even last a year, this cable will break due a a slight breeze and replacing it will cost an arm and leg. This is backwards innovation, I'm sure they are banking on people needing to replace this cable.

I'm so upset, I recieved the 2nd one during my warranty now after one year I have to buy this or my TV will not work. I csnt fathom Samsung cant make a better cord than this. I wish I knew this before buying this tv
