Samsung - 40" Class (40" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - Smart - HDTV

I did a lot of shopping around, for the combination of quality, size and of course price. This Samsung fit all of that. I actually found this exact model at Costco for a really good price, but then I found it at Best Buy for $10 less. Plus, I trust Best Buy to stand behind what they sell. So it was an easy choice. I bought a movable bracket, which this TV fit perfectly. it was an easy install, and boom, I was online watching Netflix, YouTube, and listening to Pandora. Oh, and I watched some Cable TV too. The only reservation I have is a previous Samsung TV I had died due to a pad power supply after about 6 years. A known (but not resolved) issue for that model. But the price on this TV was so affordable, if it only lasts 6 to 8 years, I will still have gotten my monies worth.

I wanted a smart tv for my extra room to replace a smaller vizio. A helpful young man at the store confirmed what I already knew, Samsung was the way to go. This one met my needs and specifications and was even on sale! I love the tv. My only issues are petty ones. It only has 2 HDMI inputs and I have more devices than that in the room but I didn't (couldn't because of size limitations) want to get a bigger size for 1 or 2 extra ports. My other issue is the sound. I have several Samsung tvs including a 60" in the living room. I feel like I have to turn the volume up fairly high on each of them to hear them properly. Since I have pretty good hearing, I blame the boob-tube. I really would like to add soundbars to them to enhance normal everyday audio but that's another day and another review. Other than that I love the picture and features.

I needed a tv for my bedroom and really wasn't even considering a "Smart" tv. However, when I saw it in the store and the sale price had this tv almost the same price as the traditional flat screen tv I went ahead and bought the smart tv. I use netflick, amazon, you tube, and the web on this tv more than I ever thought I would. The tv was easy to set up, has a good picture and great sound. I'm considering buying a larger one for the living room (I didn't think I'd use any of those features because I have cable, tablets, laptop, etc. but I am enjoying the tv.

Bought this TV over black friday and turned it on Sunday (11/29/2015) to find that smart hub does not work. Tried several things I found on the internet (like changing DNS server to 8.8.8.8) and nothing worked. Finally called samsung service center and they mentioned that this is their problem and engineers are working to fix this issue. They asked me to try again in 24 hours. Some more searches lead me to this website: http://downdetector.com/status/smart-hub Looks like this is a worldwide problem. I would have rated this 1 star, but because I am hoping that Samsung will fix this issue, I gave it 2 stars. Ofcourse, I blew my whole morning on this problem and spent 45 mins on hold for a samsung representative. Sound and picture quality is decent. And I also purchased a UN48J5201 and it also has the same issue. So, I wonder how some people got their smart hubs working!

This TV is absolute horrible. So is the service. The TV looks nice (although the base doesn't swivel like our other Samsung which is actually a good TV), but the software just doesn't work. Our specific issues: 1. The smarthub does not load quickly. Compared to an Apple TV or Roku, it takes almost 10 minutes to boot up. 2. The volume on smarthub apps cuts out randomly. Watch TV for 15 minutes, and then suddenly the volume doesn't work. The picture streaming is fine. Samsung support tried to blame it on my internet provider, but everything else in our home works fine. Then they tried to blame it on the apps, but it was doing the same thing on Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, and the Time Warner Cable App. 3. When you are in the store or online, the Smarthub has a pretty background image. When you bring it home, you are stuck with the scrambling image that you get when your antenna isn't working in 1992. They do not show it that way in the store or online for a reason. Samsung support has been terrible. Their solution to every problem is to reboot or update software that's already up to date. They refuse to acknowledge any hardware issues. I wasted 2 hours with support and I only had the TV for 3 days. I really would rather not have to repackage this TV but it's horrendous. Do not buy.

I went through the reviews for this TV before I bought it, and most of them seemed good until I saw one of the most recent ones saying thee was a problem with sound cutting out constantly and the apps not working well. I decided to take a chance since it since the majority of people thought it worked fine. I regret it and wish I had researched further. The day I took it out of the box the Netflix app worked for a whole 15 minutes before the sound completely cut out while the video continued to stream in HD. My internet signal is fine, made sure everything was updated. Tried again, within 10 minutes the sound goes out again. Same thing with the Hulu app. I might as well have bought a non-Smart TV since it seems I won't be able to use any of the apps. I'm extremely annoyed I have to go through the process of re-boxing it and returning it and having to go through it all again to find a better TV that will hopefully actually do what it claims to do.

Purchased this Highly-Rated Samsung this year. Within 1st month had tech out to replace main board, saying this model (and others) have issues. 5 months later we continue to experience issues in spite of multiple calls to Samsung tech support and many updates. Can't get this smart tv to turn on without 15+ tries each time. About to toss this not-so-smart thing out of the window!

The Smart TV section of this unit is terrible. The apps drag, stop, flicker and just don't work. The YouTube app suddenly changed all of its icons to Japanese and then wouldn't work in the US (the country code WAS set correctly in the unit's set up). The sound was terrible and because Samsung was not helpful about any of this, I had to dig deep into Google to find the sound solution. Not that it matters, we don't use the TV at all. Don't buy this.
