The Worst TV I've Owned: Poor Response Time
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only good thing about this tv is that Samsung makes the setup process easy and seamless for Samsung Android phone owners. That's where the positive aspects end. I've never owned a tv with such a horrific response time before. When you click a button on the remote, it can take the tv anywhere from 5-20+ seconds to respond. That's no exaggeration. Then once the tv understands the command given to it, it takes the apps an additional 10+ seconds to open and respond. No, it's not my Internet connection. I have an Insignia tv in the other room that cost half the price of this Samsung, and it responds instantly every single time. Now I have to figure out how to return the worst tv ever when I don't have a vehicle that it can fit in. Never again!

Posted .Hi CindyTN,
I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’re experiencing with slow response time. Please know we are here to help and have a few recommendations.
First, to ensure performance is fully optimized, please make sure your TV is running the latest firmware. To do so, go to Settings> Support> Software Update. You can easily update from there if necessary.
Next, I recommend utilizing the self-diagnostic tool, which checks memory, frees unused cached memory, and closes background apps. Go to Settings > Support > Device Care > Start Device Care.
If you continue to have issues, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8 AM - 12 AM EST, seven days a week. LiveChat with an agent, as well as manuals, software, and warranty info, can be found at the ‘Support’ link on our Samsung website.

Great tv
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TV works great. No issues. Big big fan of Samsung.
I would recommend this to a friendGood picture
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The samsung 50” is a good tv for a small room in my basement, picture is decent enough, not that high end samsung but it serves the purpose
I would recommend this to a friendOverall pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's not a bad tv, pretty good for the price, but I do have issues with connection sometimes. Occasionally it'll disconnect and it takes a few mins to reconnect. Overall pretty good though
I would recommend this to a friendTv is alright. Browser is sucky and tv is lagging
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price it isnt too bad. I bought the 50”. It was one of the few tv sizes that are direct lit vs edge lit. Picture is decent. Features are decent. Only 2 things I don’t like is the internet browser stinks. When I use WeatherStar 4000 on it, it freezes 3 minutes into playing and makes my tv freeze altogether. My older Samsung didn’t have Tizen idk if that’s the reason but my older tv ran my WeatherStar with no issues. I also don’t like the lag of response when using my remote to use apps and menus. Everything seems delayed. I factory reset did all the updates and it still runs like junk. Don’t like it but it is what it is.

Posted .Hi MikeyJ,
Thank you for your purchase and for sharing your experience with us regarding the lag time on the TU690T TV. Please know your feedback is important to us and will be shared with our internal teams.
You mentioned already going through a few troubleshooting steps but I am going to put a few below just in case you haven't tried these specific ones.
First, to ensure performance is fully optimized, please make sure your TV is running the latest firmware. To do so, go to Settings> Support> Software Update. You can easily update from there if necessary.
Next, I recommend utilizing the self-diagnostic tool, which checks memory, frees unused cached memory, and closes background apps. Go to Settings > Support > Device Care > Start Device Care.
Finally, let's try running a cold boot on your TV. To do so, hold down the Power button on the Samsung TV remote until the TV turns off and then on again. This should take about 5 seconds.
If you are using Wi-Fi you may want to try the following:
1. Use 5Ghz Wi-Fi if possible
2. Try wired LAN if available
3. Try repositioning the router so there are no obstacles between your TV and the router
I hope these tips resolve your issues with lag time. If you need more help, Samsung is here for you. Please 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 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Happy with the purchase. My previous tv died and this fit the budget. Some apps (Netflix, Disney, etc) you have to turn the volume way up but I have found this to be the case with other TVs as well.
I would recommend this to a friendgood purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Samsung always a reliable purchase. Only issue is that I cannot connect a DVD with composite video outputs like I had on an older Samsung flat-screen of same size. Also note that it weighs half as much as older TV.
