Good price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm 68 years old, and I need written instructions! The TV comes with absolutely no technical support. Yes, I can muddle my way through trying to get it to work a bit, but I still have not figured out how to load Youtube TV! Frustrating

Posted .DaTe,
We appreciate you sharing your delivery experience and that your TV exhibited damage upon opening and setup. Unfortunately, even if a TV is double-boxed and the packaging shows no evidence of harm, a TV can still be damaged during transit if proper care is 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.
We recommend you continue working with Best Buy directly for assistance in correcting this situation. We hope your issue is resolved in a timely manner.
If we can further help with any other issues, please know we are here for you. Just call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8 AM - 12 AM EST, seven days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

Don’t Buy!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Defective!!!! My second tv in a week. Exact same model, Samsung 70” TU690T. Been without a tv for over a week. Both TVs wouldn’t turn on rite out of the box. First tv turned on by itself, set up all my accounts and then the tv died. The second tv lasted about 2 hours. Won’t come back one. Two days wasted, stay away from Best Buy and these crappy TVs Also the picture is horrible, very fuzzy. Extremely disappointed

Posted .Hi Deedee,
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung TU690T TV and for sharing your experience with your TV not displaying properly. Please try the following troubleshooting steps:
1. If any external devices are connected, check all input cable connections
2. If the issue persists, define precisely what is wrong with the display. For example, mosaics and blocks, multiple lines or white dots, and fixed horizontal or vertical lines.
3. Try changing channels using the remote control. Is the issue the same on all channels?
4. Press the Home button (looks like a house), select Source, and choose another input source. Is the issue the same on all sources?
5. If the same problem persists, run a diagnostic test. (Home > Settings > Support > Device Care > Self Diagnosis > Picture Test)
6. If the problem disappears during the test, check your TV signal (Home > Settings > Support > Device Care > Self Diagnosis > Signal Information) to check the signal strength. The signal strength must be more than 20 dB (more than 4 bars on the icon) for stable signal reception
Should your issue persist, please contact Samsung Customer Support. Please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8 AM - 12 AM EST, seven days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

Posted .JesusT,
I'm sorry that your TU690T TV will not turn on. Please know we are here to help and have a few troubleshooting tips for you to try.
Check the red standby light, a little red light at the edge of the TV that you aim the remote at. If it is on, it means that your TV is receiving power, and the culprit is likely the remote. Please try to power the TV on through the button below the Samsung logo. If it powers on, I recommend changing the batteries on the remote and possibly replacing the remote.
If the red light below the TV is not on, please try the following:
1) Unplug the TV from its power source for 30 seconds. Then try to power it on again.
2) Try a different outlet that you have confirmed works properly
3) Press the Menu button on your remote. If the Menu appears, then this confirms your TV is powered on. Next, follow these steps:
・Confirm that the TV is set to the same source as the external device.
・Test the HDMI cable. Go to Settings > Support > Self Diagnosis > Signal Information > HDMI Cable Test > Start Test. If the test says, the cable is bad, replace the cable. Service is not required.
・Test different external devices. The final thing to rule out is the external device you're using. Try connecting a different device or using a different source port.
If the TV can display a picture in any other setup, then you've ruled the TV out as the cause of the issue. Keep trying various setups until you identify the device or cable that is not working and troubleshoot or replace it.
Finally, if the red standby light is blinking, please try unplugging the TV for 30 seconds and then try again. Also, confirm that the outlet you are using works with other devices.
If you need more help, Samsung is here for you. Please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8 AM - 12 AM EST, seven days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

Poor resolution

Posted .Martin,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your TU690T TV’s image quality. The TV will upscale as best as possible any content sent to it. The closer your content is to 4K, the better the image will look on the screen.
Here are some tips to help improve picture clarity:
1) HDMI cables are recommended for optimal HD viewing.
2) If you have an analog cable box or satellite box, upgrade to a digital cable box or satellite box.
3) Change the output resolution of your devices, such as digital broadcast receivers, IPTV, and set-top boxes, to UHD or HD.
4) You can further adjust your sharpness, brightness, contrast, color, and more by going to Settings > Picture > Expert Settings
5) Choose a Picture Mode by going to Settings > Picture > Picture Mode and choose from Dynamic, Standard, Natural, or Movie.

This TV is Simply Perfect
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're not the techie type and specs and TV jargon leave you scratching your head, —this TV is an absolute dream. My only tiny gripe? I was crossing my fingers for a remote with a bit more pizzazz; my trusty old Samsung had set the bar high. But hey, apart from that, this is a solid buy.The picture quality? Absolutely stunning!
