I needed a new TV when my 19 year old TV finally quit working. I decided to get a top of the line HD TV. Looking at the Samsung SmartTVl, I realized this was exactly what I was looking for. I moved into a 1bedroom apartment in North Arlington VA, and I felt this TV would be perfect for my needs. I was right! I am very happy with this television.

I had hoped this smart tv was going to be a good one being that Samsung is a reputable name brand. The tv takes about 5 minutes or more to “warm up” as I call it, before you can even tune to Netflix or YouTube. It has on occasion turned off or exited from what I was viewing by itself. It’s incredibly light and flimsy feeling. If a price is too good to be true...it is...

I finally decided to discard my 20 year-old tube TV. Though it was 32" it weighed a TON! Literally took two strong men to pick it up and move it.
My new Samsung Smart HDTV is a 43" Diag, backlit LED with 1080p. Great "open box" price at $303 (regularly $429) . CAUTION: First time I'd ordered an 'open box' item. When it arrived it was completely open at one end -- don't know if that was the way it shipped or if it happened in transit. I was skeptical but everything was in the box (except a few screws) and in good shape. (If you buy an "open box" item, I suggest you examine it immediately and if there are any problems contact Best Buy immediately.). This issue dropped a star in my rating -- I expected a re-packed box, but not an actually OPEN one (grinning).
I only shopped online -- hadn't really seen any "smart HDTV's" in person -- so I was a bit shocked at the panoramic rectangular shape ... Though 43" diagonally, it is about 22" x 38"... smaller than my old squarer tube TV. But beautiful picture and great sound. And it weighs less than 20 lbs!!!! Love the slim look of the flat screen. Am a bit hard of hearing so love the digital sound control/quality ...I often had a hard time hearing my old TV with its limited max volume. Nice remote but I programmed it to work with my universal remote and use that instead. Keeping the Samsung remote to use when/if I misplace the other one.
It came with a stand -- which looked 'elegant' but it holds the TV nicely with just 2 screws...rest of them were missing. Stand makes the depth 9". It can be mounted to the wall.
Its smart capabilities include: App store, Music player, Photos, Video player, Web browser (full) but I haven't used them yet. The color is rich and the picture is crisp. And I've mostly watched non-HD stuff so far... Love the closed captioning...especially when I'm watching British TV shows... Has Wi-Fi and ready for Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, etc. You can set up to 3 sleep timers. Has optical audio output capability. Can screen mirror some/all? Mobile devices. Watch video from an external device such as a Blu-ray player on the main screen while viewing a TV broadcast in a picture-in-picture (PIP) window... Can change the size of the image displayed on the screen. There are settings for -- preventing screen burn, energy saving options, smart security features (i.e. to prevent hacking) -- creating a block list, etc.., puttinglocks on the front panel buttons, Remote online support is available, too (if hooked to the internet).
I am very happy with this purchase and with the speedy delivery. Think this would make a great kid's room or college dorm TV though mine is my primary TV and in my living room. It has a headphone jack for private listening and can be attached to an external sound bar. .

We bought this additional TV mainly so we did not have to pay the monthly Spectrum charge to view their services, since you can view their services through the Samsung SmartTV. So the clarity is amazing, lightweight, great price, use of the apps is great as well since we really were not streamers before the purchase. I really enjoy the TV functionality and it was a great purchase for the price. I might as well save my $7 month and it eventually will pay for the TV and will last longer as well. :-)

This is my second Samsung I have bought for our house. This model was easy to set up, and has a great picture. The volume on this model is not very loud, and should be considered if you're going to use it in a very loud environment. For normal listening it is fine.
Bright picture, easy set up, and simple to use remote control.

My daughter's TV in her room died and it was time to replace it and I came across this steal and man am I excited about this TV. Beautiful picture, easy set up, light in weight, just so simple. The deal was a plus but the ease of WiFi set-up and the quality of watching TV even without cable is fantastic. Samsung never usually disappoints and this looks just right in my daughter's bedroom.

I have nothing bad to say about this Samsung TV except for the "legs" on the item. While the flatscreen TV is light, the legs that support still seem to be slightly inadequate. At first I was scared my cat would jump up on the sideboard (large and heavy, not rickety) and tip the flatscreen over and off. Picture beautiful, sound sufficient once you decide on which one to use. Menu and controls easy to use even for a senior.

I would have loved to give this TV 5 stars but I had to deduct one star for the quality of the audio. It has a rather metallic tin like sound, it sitting on a glass TV stand may have been a contributing factor, but I don't know. I think it's actually because the speakers are on the bottom side of the TV. I remedied it by hooking up my stereo speakers and bypassing the TV speakers so now the sound is spot-on.
I use an HD antenna (I'm one of those cable cutters) and the Smart TV picks up way more channels and clearer channels then did my older television. That's a huge plus.
The price was good. Very easy to set up. The picture is quite good. All in all I'm very pleased with this purchase.

After trying a TV from "another manufacturer" that was flawed beyond repair, I went back to an old standby, Samsung. Looks great, sounds great, no problems. Can't wait to explore the smart features.

Good TV for the price.
It’s voice recognition remote control works very well as does its compatibility with other components Allowing me to rely on just one remote control.
It was excellent price for what it includes.
However, the trade off in Price savings was the result of less options. The only option which I regret not including is the ability to attach a keyboard. Other than that have no complaints

Bought this for my aging aunt and uncle. They love the picture and how light the tv is. The remote was easy for them to understand and they’re already watching Netflix shows! Dropped a star because the base was cumbersome to screw on. One person had to lift the tv while the other screws the base brackets on. Once assembled, it’s been great!
