Its a great TV
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picture is great and the smart features are pretty fast and responsive when I use them. The only complaint that I have is that the TV does not always connect properly to my Samsung sound bar. Sometimes when the TV turns on I can control the sound bar volume with the TV remote, other times I have to turn off the TV speaker (because even though there is a sound bar plugged in the speakers still turn on for some reason) and use the sound bar remote. Overall though, it was a great buy!

UPDATE: Samsung Customer Support
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded to the 8 series because of reports of problems with the 7 series dropping wifi. Then my 8 series started dropping wired network! I called Samsung support (# provided in reviews to another customer) and they answered right away. The automated system was actually helpful and got me to a technician who logged into my TV. The first set of troubleshooting didn't fix the problem so I called back. The next tech changed some "behind the scenes" settings consumers can't access and fixed the problem. VERY HAPPY with the ease, speed and capability of Samsung TV customer support.

Good mid priced TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great picture for the price. The remote is small and has very few buttons. A lot of the actions are completed on the TV screen. I will find out if the TV explodes when I hook my RCA CED video disc player onto it. Wish me luck!

Good tv but not great
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a new tv when my old vizio finally gave out. Decided to go with Samsung after reading reviews on how good they are. The picture is great, colors pop, all in all, very good. Now for the not so good stuff. I’m old school here. I still have a vcr and many tapes I still like to watch. This tv does not have analog inputs. I was like really. I just assumed they would be there, but no. Should have stuck with vizio. Also, sometimes when I turn the tv off, it turns back on, all by itself. This usually happens two or three times a week. This is probably my first and last Samsung tv purchase.

Excellent TV
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased in Nov. 2019, this was our first smart TV, and it has performed very well. The apps work well and the picture is very good. We have the TV sound go through a receiver and a surround sound system when we use cable, however when we utilize apps that are not on our cable package, the sound is a little weak and would definitely recommend a sound bar or other auxillary sound system.

Daughter's Xmas Present, and she is very happy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a xmas present for my adult daughter, plays a lot of video games, and streams a lot of movies. After setting it up, I got called down repeatedly, "Dad look at this! I couldn't see this before!" And most of what she plays/watches is not even 4K. Also, I was very envious how the Samsung remote automatically detected all connections and easily controlled the WII Switch, Xbox, DirectTV, and Amazon FireTV connections So not a technical review, but replaced an 11 year old sony and made my daughter happy, so I'm happy.

It's a Samsung - no more needs to be said
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought a new 55" Samsung after my old one kicked the bucket. I have always loved the picture from the upper level Samsun TV's. As with most TVs nowadays, you need a soundbar and subwoofer to create a great sound experience, but the picture with this 8 series is really top-notch. It's very easy to setup and use, and after having it in use for a while now, the picture and everything is still like new. It really is a great TV.

So happy!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced my Panasonic Viera Plasma with this 55” Samsung. It was important to me to have the natural 120. Samsung does a great job with their specifications transparency. This tv has the 240 true motion (120 natural). The price was absolutely unbeatable, Best Buy always has the best prices! The unpacking and set up video from Best Buy was fantastic. The tv itself is amazing! Picture is incredible, so life like and so much depth, the smart interface is great and simple and the remote is small, modern and convenient. The TV does a great job recognizing all of our external devices. All in all, no complaints just really happy with this purchase!

Absolute Perfection
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We recently decided to upgrade from our 12-year-old 42" Plasma Samsung to this beauty, and couldn't be happier with our purchase. While our old TV still "did the job", we wanted to upgrade in a way that would set us up for another decade of enjoyment, as we watch TV and movies on a daily basis, and appreciate quality picture and sound, but didn't want to spend a fortune. After researching several options, we went with the 8-Series. There didn't seem to be much difference hardware-wise between the 6 and 7 series, and the refresh rate doubled with the 8 series. UHD was such a significant jump in price that we couldn't really justify spending that much more, so this darling was just the ticket. We watch a lot of horror and Sci-Fi movies, so we needed a TV that could deliver the blackest of blacks along with rapid-motion without the annoying "ghosting" or trailing effects seen by lower-quality units. My bet on the 8-series has paid off with the crispest of colors, the richest hues of blacks, and color rendering that is not only realistic, but vivid without being garish. A designer by profession, with the pickiest of taste and sensitivity to color, shading, and luminosity, I have absolutely no complaints as to what this gorgeous machine delivers; every.single.time... If you are considering a mid-range TV of incredible quality and value, look no further.
