Only real complaint is the stand didn’t feel the sturdiest when clicked in but TV has held up fine.
Importantly, the actual screen is fab. The 4k quality is incredible for this price point- with good colours and minimal bleed. The HDR is meh but as it’s only HDR10 you can’t expect much and for HDR10 it’s nice with deep blacks and clear whites.
The speakers are perfectly ample for a small room but may be drowned out in a larger space. The UI is good and intuitive, AirPlay 2 supports 4k and works well which was a huge plus for us. Automatically recognises HDMI devices so no need to remember which is which is surprisingly handy. The remote is solar and USB-C which is also very convenient. Only had a week but very pleasantly surprised so far. Would 100% recommend.
Looks fabulous in my sitting room Picture excellent sound a but quiet evon on full volume but a sound bar rectified the problem
Very pleased with this TV. As described with lots of additional features. Easy to set up using smart phone.
Delivered on time within given time frame
Great picture quality, only annoying point was that it kept defaulting to Samsung TV when setting up the terrestrial channels for an elderly Aunt!
All my previous experience was brilliant no complaints only last order said delivered check All home near me small enough to go Letterbox
After reviewing and comparing what seemed like 100s of TVs, and not understanding half the features and gumph in the details, I decided to stick with what the brand I know and a new released TV in the hopes it will last a few years. My previous Samsung was doing okay still, but it no longer supported ITV Hub/X and something had happened to the subtitles, which I heavily rely on, and I could no longer see.
So, how have I found it? Picture great – the picture is sharper than my old TV. Sound is good, sometimes needs changing between channels but I’m sure this can be sorted in settings. All the apps work as they should, and all the usual and most used apps are there.
The remote is a little on the small side for my fat fingers, but manageable. I’m still figuring out the solar remote.
As I said, I know little about technology, but I’ve seen a few people mention having to re-connect to the wifi. If my previous TV hadn’t been a Samsung I would have presumed the same. What you need to know, is that the wifi takes about a minute or two to work. On my old TV it would come up that the Hub was updating. On this TV, a message comes up saying Error and directs you to reconnect the wifi. This is not needed. If you wait, the wifi will connect and you won’t get the Error message. Even if you get the Error message, just be patient and it will connect.
For me, this is a great TV, and I would definitely recommend it to others.
This is a great TV. Massive size, clear picture & really easy to use. Remote control is solar powered. Easy to set up too.
I had to play games and bought this tv and no surprise it works great. Love the solar remote
The design of the TV is sleek, with a thin bezel and slim profile that will easily blend in with any room decor. It also comes with a variety of connectivity options, including four HDMI ports and three USB ports, making it easy to connect multiple devices.
One of the standout features of this TV is its Smart TV capabilities. It comes with the Samsung Smart Hub, which allows users to access a variety of streaming apps, including Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video. The TV also has built-in Wi-Fi, so you can easily connect to the internet and stream your favorite shows and movies.
Another feature that users appreciate is the included voice control remote. With this remote, you can easily search for content, change the channel, and adjust the volume without ever having to lift a finger.
Overall, the Samsung 55-inch TV is a great option for anyone looking for a high-quality, large-screen TV with plenty of connectivity options and Smart TV capabilities.
The only thing that lets this TV down is the smart hub. There are a really good selection of apps – everything you could want in fact but they are not 100% reliable. IPlayer for example sometimes has to be selected a few times before it loads (but majority of time is fine). There are also hundreds of channels on Samsung TV, none of which we would actually watch! The kids keep putting on the cartoon ones which are stuffed with ads which is a shame as we usually don’t let them watch TV with ads.
These issues aside – a beautiful TV with amazing picture and really good value.
For sound I prefer to connect a soundbar, there was some tinkering involved and adapters. Best if your soundbar supports HDMI eARC. Works with optical but you can’t adjust volume then.
Quite annoying is that the TV always tries to run Samsung TV plus app, even when I removed all the channels. I only watch on demand content (netflix, Disney etc), so don’t want this TV app but it keeps popping up! I don’t want it, it was difficult to get rid of it.
Delight of use:
– Set up is super easy, simple and intuitive.
Picture quality:
– SPOT ON! really impressed, but seems this is what the value is based on.
– Colour range is spectacular as you would expect for the price and brand.
Sound quality:
– I assume because it’s a slim TV, there’s not much space for OOMPH! This however was a bit of a surprise, when you spend a small fortune. I didn’t expect to have to budget further for decent sound. I struggled to watch the first few things with the sound being really high on TREBLE with no BASE/depth
A FEW THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
Speaker suggestion in description:
– It would be nice to have a suggested SOUND SYSTEM to budget with your purchase.
– Other than this point of frustration of having to cop out more cash for a more cinematic experience, keep in mind that there’s no INPUT JACK for sound, so you would have to get a bluetooth set/soundbar.
I still highly recommend this one, especially being a UX/UI Designer with a fine eye for colour detail and picking up on little things, I’m really happy with this purchase from a VISUAL perspective.
