    So far for almost a year since I purchased no real problems absolutely love it, besides the fact that it’s sometimes difficult to change the inputs probably because of the WiFi connection but overall love it!

    Overall, I had a lot of less-than-expected experiences with this television in spite of the fact that it's one of the highest-rated televisions no matter where you look, even outside of Best Buy's ratings. The user interface is difficult to get used to. The remote is also difficult to get used to. The TV software, Tizen, is clunky, it freezes up, and is frankly very slow. Luckily with the geek squad protection I purchased, I have a 90-day return policy. I went back and forth for weeks because every time I was unhappy with the television, I would see how it is out rated other televisions, but in the end, I realized if I had this much back-and-forth in my thinking, I had to return the television. I can't recommend this TV.

    Well worth the money. Easy setup, great picture and decent sound right out of the box. The interface is pretty intuitive as well. The remote is a beautifully designed object, but a little quirky at first - a learning curve.

    Very good TV for the price. It was easy to transport and setup. It paired with my cable carriers remote control almost immediately. I'm one of those people that can only tell the difference between this TV and a $1,000 TV if I look at them side by side.

    I purchased this Samsung 55” 8000 LED 4K UHDSmart Tizen on February 2023. We have always bought Samsung. No problems with any of my Samsung tv’s in the past. Well this one is not good! I added MAX in my apps when recently HBOMAX was eliminated and is now MAX. I could not get the app to open. Got error messages. It’s not my internet service cuz I added the new MAX app on my other TV in my home and it sintalled and working fine. Also the remote sometimes freezes and the tv does not respond to the remote. Press a button and nothing happens. Maybe 1 minute after I press any button it will respond. Just super slow to respond. 5 months old and I’m ready to ditch it. No more Samsung tv’s for me!

    Love my new TV. The clarity of the sound and picture are great! The remote is a little to slim and small to handle and it does not light up in the dark making it hard to navigate. Otherwise its a great TV and I am very happy with my purchase.

    I like the quality of this TV's picture. It's clear and bright. The sound is good but would probably be enhanced with a sound bar. The price was very good, and I am very pleased with my purchase.
