It's a decent TV but the picture on the 70" is not as sharp and the colors are not as vibrant as expected.

If you have a living room with a wide viewing angle this is not the tv for you. My wife sits on the side and kept saying it looked terrible. I finally went over there and it definitely didn't look good from the side. I took it back and got the Q80T. This would probably be a great tv for the price if you have a direct view of the tv. Otherwise, steer clear.

Linds, Thank you for choosing the Samsung TU6980 Crystal UHD Series TV. I am very sorry to see that your TV had a vertical line down the middle upon setup. I completely understand your disappointment. Please know that, even if the packaging shows no evidence of harm, a TV can still be damaged during transit if proper care were not taken. For example, if the TV were sitting in an incorrect orientation -- laid on its side or tilted -- during transit, damage could have been done.
I recommend you contact your store of purchase for assistance.
Thank you for being a Samsung customer.

Thank you for purchasing the TU6980 TV. You can pair your soundbar to your TV via Bluetooth, HDMI cable, or optical cable. For the best sound quality and performance, connect your soundbar with a Digital Audio Out (Optical) or an HDMI (ARC) cable. HDMI is better if the only external device connected to your TV is your soundbar. Otherwise, Digital Audio Out is usually the better option, depending on your setup.
If you are using a wired connection, please try the following: 1) Power off all HDMI devices connected to TV 2) Disconnect all HDMI cables from TV 3) Power off and unplug the TV's power cord from the wall outlet 4) Press and hold the TV power button for 30 seconds 5) Reconnect HDMI cables back to HDMI ports on TV 6) Re-plug the TV's power cord back into the wall outlet and check the TV.
If you need further assistance, please contact Samsung Customer Support, and a representative will gladly help you.

No back screws for mounting

Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Any TV manufacturers add their back mounting screws but not Samsung. Also, most of the wall mounting accessories that comes along when you purchase a wall mount from other manufacturers doesn't fit. It's Samsung minimizing cost for not adding back mounting screws or it's a mere oversight. It's stressful moving from one hardware store to another just to find back screws when you just purchase a brand new TV. This is pathetic and don't understand why Samsung are market leaders in electronics. Their Washers, Dryers, Microwaves, Refrigerators, and Stoves don't last longer either. All they're good at is phone. I am done with them.

Thank you for purchasing the Samsung TU6980 TV. I am very sorry for the inconvenience you had with installation because wall mount screws were not included.
Please understand that we do not include wall mount screws or adapters because not every wall will require the same type of hardware. Each customer’s mounting situation can be very different, requiring specific hardware to ensure the best, most secure fit. A generic hardware type included in the box might be inappropriate for a customer’s wall; the result could be the customer inadvertently mounting his TV insecurely.
Samsung TVs are VESA Compliant and work with any wall mount that is also VESA Compliant and designed for the TV's size. For your 70” TV, you will need a VESA bolt pattern 400 mm x 400 mm.

Not the best TV, there is a lag on the response from the remote to the tv. No volume leveling so your volume drastically change from channel to channel. The picture looks more like HD rather than a crystal HD.

Worst TV I've Owned

I have never had so many problems with a TV before. It constantly loses connection to the internet, repeatedly lags when trying to use the home menu or a keyboard, and multiple times has just froze when trying to watch something on a streaming app. I have never had a single issue with other brand TVs so for what is considered a "high end brand" this is ridiculous and unacceptable.
