I would recommend this to a friendNice Picture but 3.5 Stars
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture is great! The volume is not so great, I have to push it into the 30’s just in my bedroom. This is the most rxpensive TV I have purchases to date & my first Samsung and I feel like its cheaply made - the back of the television seens to be very cheap plastic that xan ve pushed in very easily. We’ll see what happens.

Posted .NikNak369,
Thank you for choosing the Samsung Q8F TV and for sharing your feedback. If the overall volume seems low, there are several settings and features you can adjust to improve your sound experience:
Volume Features to Check:
• Auto Volume: Automatically balances volume when switching channels or inputs. Go to: Settings > All Settings > Sound > Expert Settings > Auto Volume
• Sound Modes: Choose from preset sound profiles to better suit your preferences: Settings > All Settings > Sound > Sound Mode
• AI Mode Settings: Enable AI Mode to let your TV analyze your environment and content, optimizing sound in real time. This includes:
o Adaptive Sound
o Active Voice Amplifier (AVA) – Raises dialogue levels when ambient noise is detected
o Adaptive Volume
Also Check:
• External Devices: If you're using a cable box, streaming device, Blu-ray player, or game console, make sure the volume on those devices isn’t turned down. Also verify that all cables are properly connected and try reseating them.
• Software Update: Make sure your TV is running the latest firmware for the best audio performance: Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now
If you’ve tried these adjustments and are still experiencing low audio, feel free to reach out to Samsung Support for further assistance at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM – 12AM EST, 7 days a week. LiveChat agents are also available on our website under ‘Support.’

Posted .Hi GlennM,
Thank you for your review and for sharing your concerns. A Samsung Account is required to access Smart Hub, which powers the core smart features of your TV - including app access (like Netflix and YouTube), service updates, and content personalization.
Without signing in and accepting the Terms and Conditions, your TV will function in a basic mode - supporting external devices (such as HDMI and over-the-air antenna), but streaming apps and Smart Hub services will be unavailable.
We understand this requirement may not be ideal for all users, but it’s necessary for full access to Samsung’s smart features and connected services.
If you need assistance creating or logging into a Samsung Account, we’re here to help. Please contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM – 12AM EST, 7 days a week. LiveChat and additional support resources are also available through the Support link on our website.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So Far, So Good!! Its AI Smart so you have to set the settings to where you want it to be. But everything looks great.
I would recommend this to a friendGood Set for the $$$
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A solid set for the money. Built in speakers are tinny and don’t produce a robust sound so splurge for a soundbar to get the most out of it.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only reason it’s not higher is the reflections of windows show on the screen on days it is bright outside. Overcast or evening, no problem

Posted .Hi RickM,
We appreciate your feedback on screen reflections with the Samsung Q8F TV. Room lighting plays a significant role in how reflections appear, and while we aim to reduce glare where possible, complete elimination isn't guaranteed.
For improved glare control, we recommend repositioning the TV to avoid direct light or consulting a professional installer. Samsung’s Glare Free screen is available starting with the QN90F Neo QLED 4K, while Anti Reflection technology is included on select models beginning with the S85F OLED and above.
If you have any questions about features or setup, our team is here to help at 1-800-SAMSUNG, available daily from 8AM - 12AM EST. You can also chat with a LiveChat agent by clicking the ‘Support’ link on our website for:
• Live Chat

Posted .Hi pjmc,
We appreciate your feedback on the picture quality of Samsung’s Q8F TV. If the image doesn’t quite match your preferences, there are several adjustments you can make to better suit your viewing environment and content type.
First, please ensure your TV is running the latest firmware, as updates may include important picture quality enhancements. Go to: Home > Left directional button > Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now
To explore picture mode options, navigate to: Home > Left directional button > Settings > All Settings > Picture > Picture Mode. Options include:
• Standard – Ideal for general viewing
• Dynamic – Brighter and more vibrant for well-lit spaces
• Eco – Optimized for energy efficiency
• Movie – Best for viewing in low light
• Filmmaker Mode – Preserves the content creator’s intent and disables motion smoothing for supported content
You can further customize your image by going to: Settings > All Settings > Picture > Expert Settings, where you can adjust Brightness, Contrast, Color Tone, Sharpness, Contrast Enhancer and more.
If you’d like help finding the best picture settings for your preferences, please don’t hesitate to contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG, available 8AM – 12AM EST, 7 days a week. You can also LiveChat with an agent or explore additional resources on our website by clicking the ‘Support’ link.
