Great until it’s not
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this TV in 2020 and it was great until the power supply board randomly went out this week. After just 3 years of use, this is extremely disappointing.

Beware of short life
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want a TV to last 3 years, this is great, but don't expect any more. Our tv is now power cycling endlessly and nothing is working to fix it. After reading other people's experiences with this, we were lucky to not have it happen 1-2 years after purchase. We purchase everything Samsung, but my next TV will not be one.

Last's 1.5 yr and they won't cover 5 as sold
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TV Doesn't last over a year and a half without going into a power on loop... and then Best Buy Doesn't honor the 5 year warranty... Shop somewhere else for something better... and probably a lower price point. Unfortunately it was a pretty good TV when it worked...

Not worth your money
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It glitches and quits working consistently. You can “fix” it temporarily by hard resetting it. Sometimes it lasts a while, sometimes it lasts for 5 minutes. Better to spend a bit more money for a higher quality TV that you’ll get longevity out of.

Pixel problems after 2 years
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the TV for 3 years. At 2 years I starting having pixel issues with lines across the screen. Samsung came to check it out but my only option was replacing the screen, which would cost almost what the TV did. Now the TV is a spare in my office/guest room.

might get 3 years out of the tv
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the tv was amazing until a month ago when i started getting thin black lines all over my screen tv was just shy of 2 months past warranty so the only option was to have a Samsung repair man come to see about repairs which would end up costing more then the tv is worth so they basically just tell you to buy a new tv. "sorry"

Do not buy Samsung tv’s
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this tv in 2020. It died 4yrs (2024.) Its either the power board or internal cable connection to the processor board goes bad short circuit. It powers on then appears to finish the boot process then the screen goes to partially lit then shutsdown and goes into loop reboot. Did all the troubleshooting suggestions found on the internet. Will buy a TCL to replace this one.no more Samsung for us. Too many go bad over the years. Longevity is horrible.

It worked but not very well
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to get Samsung to repair it 3 times. Then the screen started acting funny again until it totally crashed. The GSP had me reimbursed after 3 years of owning. I have no choice but to get the “new” 2023 model and hope that it doesn’t happen again

Faulty LED panel, brick after 2 years. A joke!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thanks for the $380 brick Samsung. I own one of these and was one of the unlucky ones to experience the UN50TU8000FXZA defective panel situation. After about 2 years, the panel randomly showed a couple of black lines (failed leds) which then progressed into an endless boot loop to the point of being unusable. Such a disappointment and Samsung customer care doesn't "care". Hung up on me when I called about the issue. This thing should be considered a lemon.. It's amazing too because, I've loved/bought Samsung products for years and they apparently don't care when things go wrong.
