    Spontaneous TV Turn On

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We bought this model in December 2017. Picture quality, functionality, etc has been great. Very pleased. Should be a 5 Star review, right? So why 2 stars? The TV spontaneously turns itself on, mostly in the middle of the night. This is not an issue for just this set, check out the CNET forums on this subject or google the issue. It is affecting other models as well, not just the 8000. Firmware is up to date. Connected to standard DirecTV box and Roku box, nothing fancy. Samsung sound bar and sub woofer. No solution on line from Samsung. Lots of on line speculation as to the issue so at this point I can’t recommend buying a Samsung.

    It is legit the exact same tv as the ks8000 but the ks8000 also comes with quantum dot display. It's a great tv but it's a very VERY! bad model for this new tv when it's techecly a downgrade. Get the ks8000 if possible.

    We bough this TV at full price, over $2k. The blacks in the background is horrible. Color isn't the greatest. The price lowered literally half the price within couple weeks. I wish BestBuy or Samsung would of refund us a couple hundred back or send us something in return. Not worth the purchase, at least for the price we paid. $1000 for this tv sounds about right.

    Great while it lasted…

    I paid $1,400 for a tv that died 4 years later. Getting accustomed to frequent WiFi drops and random Samsung TV Plus interruptions was one thing, but complete failure in less than 5 years….unacceptable.

    Doesn’t work.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased this tv a little over three weeks ago. It was great when it worked but now it just doesn’t turn on. No red standby light. Samsung sent me another cable but there is still no power. I’m waiting for a tech to come by to service the TV. This is very disappointing considering the price I paid for this TV. I’m also frustrated that I’m just outside of Best Buy’s return window. It’s unacceptable to sell a TV that stops working after three weeks. A quick google search shows this other people are having this same issue.

    Great TV, when it works

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought the 55" Samsung Smart TV and was immediately pleased until the TV started turning on all by itself. After about four months of coming home to a TV which I know I turned off being on, I finally decided to unplug it when it wasnt in use. Wrong idea. The TV is dead now, tried different outlets, unplugged all cables, everything. Not even a standby light. Nothing. Complete paperweight. A 1k loss on my part. Now ive gotta start the warranty process (1 year warranty from Samsung, I didnt buy the best buy warranty).

    Died After 3 Months

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This TV performed well when it worked, but unfortunately it stopped turning on after just 3 months. I was browsing Netflix when suddenly it rebooted and couldn't start back up. Samsung's warranty is one year, but I don't have much faith in the long-term reliability of this product. Disappointed in this purchase.

    Horrible!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If I could give this TV a negative 5 stars I would. This so-called SmartHub is horrible. Samsung updated the firmware recently and now the remote won't control the sound. It doesn't even hold a Bluetooth connection to my Samsung soundbar! Do not buy this TV. You will be sorry if you do!
