I would recommend this to a friendLooked Better in the store
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I usually don't go into the store to look at TVs and make a decision on the spot. I usually look at Consumer Reports and then go to the store once i'm decided to confirm that it's a good tv. This time I want to the store and bought this tv on the spot. It was a mistake. My only problem is not that the video quality is not great, but that even on sale, this is a very over priced tv. You can get a decent brand with the same specs for a fraction of the price. I returned the tv promptly.

Horrible lag on apps
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worst tv I’ve ever owned. The internet/apps is CONSTANTLY freezing up. The only way to get out of it sometimes is to completely disconnect the power cord for a few minutes then plug it back in, then it’s fine for a bit. Next time you go to use it… same thing.

It's the third Samsung TV that we've gotten all of
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 50-in Samsung is been perfect for us it was a tremendous upgrade from a 20 year old Panasonic TV that we had pictures crisp clear the installers were great they gave me information that enabled me to upgrade my Xfinity TV box for perfect control and no pauses in picture or sound
I would recommend this to a friendNice TV, with a Side order of Wonky
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My 10 year old Samsung direct lit TV developed bright spots on the screen, so I decided a replacement was needed. As much as I wanted a Neo QLED, I wasn't keen on another fairly heavy beast like the one I had in a chest-high cabinet. This is a nice set that has a good number of available menu options to customize the viewing experience. The one problem I experienced (and the reason for deducting a star) is that it doesn't play well with my Roku Ultra. Regardless of the app being used, the screen would randomly go blank. It drove me crazy for the first day or so. I checked with my ISP, changed cables, reset everything, etc.. Finally, I narrowed it down to 2 HDMI options in the TV menu. If I keep the Anynet option active and turn off the other everything behaves. That is, until yesterday when a brief power outage caused the same exact problem to re-occur. I had to unplug the TV while it was on in order to get everything working again. I read somewhere that Samsung/Roku compatibility is a known issue, but I never expected it since it wasn't a problem with my older set nor with another 4 year old model I have. Otherwise as I've stated, it's a good set but has some behavioral issues.
