Very good TV.excellent picture.good sound.good price.would recommend.so far.
Really like this Samsung Tv, it’s nice to look at and also very easy to set up. Highly recommended.
Bought this TV as a bundle deal alongside an Xbox series X and saved around 100! It came next day and arrived no later than mid day. I was able to have it all unboxed and set up in no time. It is super light for it’s size which comes in handy as you don’t have to be worried about whether a tv stand will be strong enough to support it. It comes with 2 remotes one of which is the media remote. This remote has a built in battery which can be charged up either by leaving it in sunlight or by plugging in your average (type-c) phone cable into it.
I liked everything about it got built in ebox app where you can play your game console without putting your xbox on straight through your tv great sound and picture in 4k
Lovely picture and good sound quality when using Samsung Chanel’s. When using the hdmi chanel for my virgin tv connection. The sound drops dramatically. We use Samsung tv chanels at volume 20. To get same volume through hdmi /virgin have to push volume on tv upto 60! Fine for me and the kids no good for anyone with poor hearing ( like grandma) plus it doesn’t have a scart lead, had to buy a scart hdmi converter to use other equipment ( it has 2 hdmi inputs)
This was an upgrade from a 43 inch LG and I am fairly impressed. Excellent picture, sound could be better, interface takes some getting used to. Tv must be intended for those who will wall mount, as the stand is rubbish – made of light plastic with a tendency to wobble. Be prepared to buy restraining straps for the back. I am still looking for a solution to stop the tv tipping backward if knocked and may have to insert two screws direct into the stand and plinth below. Apart from that very pleased with the picture size and image quality. In expert mode in Settings many adjustments can be made to achieve the best quality.
An upgrade for my mothers TV – Works well with a great picture quality however its challenging to set up for an elderly person who does not have wifi – I had to cast to my mobile and download upgrades separately
I’ve had this a few weeks now. It was easy to set up and the picture quality is very good. The sound is dreadful so a decent sound bar is essential. Overall a good purchase.
Read the Which? Reviews for this which said the picture quality was great and the only let down was the sound so I also purchased a sound bar.
The tv sound is absolutely fine on its own in my opinion. Sure the sound bar makes movies a lot more intense but for general TV or if you’re not that fussed then the sound is going to be fine.
And going from a TV that was very old to this almost hurt my eyes with how good the picture was!
Picture is amazing for the price. Nice sleek design. Sound is a bit thin though, but I’m using with soundbar so not so releva
Wonderful TV and great value for money. Don’t need to spend loads of money on OLED when you can get this quality picture. Add a sound bar for improved sound.
It’s taken over 4 hours plus tech help and still not working. Looking forward to picture quality and sound quality. The instructions are not good and couldn’t find where the common interface went as it was covered by sticker – and then found we didn’t need i
I have 3 usb devices attached and if one of those – TV box – PS5 for eg if one is updating or just downloading updates the TV turns itself on? I have looked through the settings and cannot rectify it. So Im turning out the lights and settling down (its in my bedroom) and boom the TV would turn itself on? Why would that be a thing? If I wanted the TV on I would press the on button. Its annoying and means I cant leave attached boxes to update without worrying Im leaving the TV on too.
This is a good quality TV for the price. The tv navigation is a little sluggish and slow to click through.
Wasn’t sure what TV to get with all different types and all different prices. I went for a Samsung as prefer smart features to Panasonic which I have in the other room and my Samsung broke after 8yrs.
This TV is perfect, good picture, very light to put on wall. Smart features are great. Sound is good too but when I watch a film I do put the sound bar on.
For the price it is excellent value.
Picture quality is very sharp even when steaming on various suppliers , sound is pretty good for a TV but have supplemented mine with a Sound bar for extra cinema sound.
Very pleased with my purchase the set up is easy and it has a good selection of smart functions
Tv is good, the smart OS is quite slow sometimes inputs are 2 secs per click. Once in an app it’s fine but a bit annoying. Picture quality is good once you change settings. Smart controller dies pretty quick I had it a week and it died.
samsung make great tvs, and its hard to go wrong.
have been buying their products for 15+ years.
this particular one was an extra one for the bedroom.
the picture quality is good, but the deep blacks are not the best as compared to top of the line QLEDs.
