The one i got was not consistently operational
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only reason its two atars is because i believe i got unlucky and got a tv with a faulty piece of hardware. Tv clicks, sound stutters and it turns off and back on.

Posted .Hi RyanR,
I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with your TU690T TV. I have a few troubleshooting steps I recommend which may resolve these issues.
1) Check the power cable for damage and proper connection.
2) If the cable is bent, broken, kinked, pinched, pressed excessively (possibly by a heavy object on top of it), or damaged, this is likely the cause of the issue. Replace the cable.
3) Unplug the TV from the wall outlet for 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
4) If the power cycling allows enough time between powering on and off, try updating the TV to the latest firmware. There is a risk, however. If the TV turns off during the software update, it could damage the TV. Updates can take up to 30 minutes, depending on network speed, so if the TV is not turning off too frequently, try updating the software.
If the issue persists after these steps, then the TV will likely need service. Please contact us so that we can better investigate your issue and assist you with a solution or replacement. You can call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8 AM - 12 AM EST, seven days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

Posted .Hi MercedeH,
I'm sorry that you are having issues with your TU690T TV. Please know we are here to help.
If you've switched on your TV and the sound comes through fine, but you do not see any picture, there are three potential issues.
1) A connection issue; is the most common problem with a bad connection, faulty cables, or improper installation.
2) An issue with the device connected to the TV. There may be a video output setting on the device that you must set properly before it outputs to the TV.
3) There is something wrong with the TV, requiring a technician to assess the TV and find a solution.
Please give us the opportunity to assist you by contacting Samsung Customer Support. You can call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8 AM - 12 AM EST, seven days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it Awesome 4K TV with lots of nice features! Wish I wouldn't have waited so long to replace my bedroom TV.
I would recommend this to a friendOS is super slow + ads on the interface
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's so slow. I haven't seen one person complain on this but this samsung OS software is super slow + is bloated with irrelevant apps you cannot delete. Also your home tab is filled with paid apps. It's beyond stressful waiting for the TV to buffer navigating through apps because of how bad the OS is. Why would you pay for a 4k TV with ads and bloatware on it?

Posted .Hi Happy,
Thanks for your purchase and for letting us know you are enjoying your new TU690T TV. Please know that you can adjust a few picture settings, which may improve your experience.
To adjust your Picture Settings, go to Home > Settings > Picture > Picture Mode and select the mode that best fits your usage:
1) Standard: Default mode suitable for general viewing environments.
2) Natural: Reduces eye strain for a comfortable viewing experience.
3) Movie: Suitable for watching TV or movies in a dark room.
4) Dynamic: Makes the picture brighter and clearer in bright viewing environments.
5) Filmmaker Mode: You can watch the source content (e.g., movie) as it is. If the image is defined as Filmmaker Mode, it will automatically switch to Filmmaker Mode while watching.
You can also go to Settings > Picture > Expert Settings > to manually fine-tune your image.
If all of your local channels are not showing up, I recommend rescanning your local channels. To do so, go to Home, Source, and then select TV.
Next, go to Settings> Broadcasting> Auto Program> Start.
I hope these tips help you enjoy your new product.
