Read if using for gaming consoles
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You get what you pay for, which isn't entirely a bad thing. I had no interest in using the smart TV features such as streaming apps, I simply wanted a larger display to use with gaming consoles, mainly a PS5. While The color gamut isn't the widest, the contrast ratio isn't crazy, and the brightness isn't blinding, I'm very content with my purchase. Colors still pop, and the screen still gets bright enough to fill a dim room. I appreciate that when switching to a console (Tested a PS5 and Nintendo Switch) the TV automatically switches to game mode and drastically reduces input delay. I've experienced zero stuttering like I have with other TVs while using game mode. The speakers aren't anything special, would not listen to music on them, but for casual games they're acceptable. Definitely recommend headphones. For anyone that wants to change the settings out of the box, i recommend completely turning off sharpening and turning down color to 20 (30 is the default) to get rid of oversaturation and blown out details. As with all TVs, getting the best desired picture requires tweaking. Overall, I'd recommend this TV if you aren't super picky about your display, want something on the smaller side, and wanna game on a big display on a budget. If you want the best color range, incredible contrast and blinding brightness, this isn't for you. But if you keep your expectations in check, I think you'll be happy with your purchase.

The remote has numbers!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it for the remote! Ok, so I bought this tv for my husband. His previous tv would always go to the Home Screen and didn’t have numbers, so it took forever to get the the channels he wanted to watch. We own other Samsung tvs and have been very happy with them. I bought this model because the remote had numbers and I could program it so the tv turned on to the previous tv station. It seems like a stupid reason to buy a tv, but my husband likes to watch the news before bed and to relax. This tv is perfect size for our bedroom.

Best bang for your buck
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly best purchase I’ve made. My tv literally died in mu eyes and this was worth it. Entry level 4k tv but still movies, gaming, really look good. Cannot complain. Obviously more money=better graphics but for the price its not bad. Only complaint is lack of HDMI ports(only 2) so no nintendo switch on my tv lol Review for the native sound I DO NOT KNOW BECAUSE I USE A SOUND BAR

Great Picture Quality And A Phenomenal Price
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a fantastic TV period. We wanted a tv for in the kitchen so we could follow along to the Bon Appetit channel on the Samsung TV Plus app, which is also an incredible feature to this tv with lots of channels to watch and it's all free! In addition to the functionality the tv is a great size for medium to large room and looks great on the wall. And to top it all off it has a phenomenal image quality! Honestly if you're looking for a tv at a very fair price, then this is the tv you've been looking for!

My first new tv as an Adult
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was my first new tv that i bought in recent years. My previous tv died somehow after 7 years and I decided to buy a new one. Its easy to setup and the colors pop. The ability to interact relatively smoothly with other samsung devices was nice. I do have one main gripe with it but that might just be me. It doesn't have a lot of hdmi slots. Other than that it is a great tv for those looking for a new tv that may last them years to come.

Q: QuestionTV is advertised as 43 inches yet in the specifications it says the width is 37.9. Please clarify as I’m going to have this TV in a cabinet that’s 40 inches wide. Thanks.
Asked by Pat.
- A:Answer Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner (upper left corner to lower right corner for example). The width of the case will therefore be less than the measured screen size.

Q: QuestionWhich tv is better TU690T(2022), TU7000 or AU8000. Please explain in detail the differences, for these series.
Asked by JESS.
- A:Answer Hi Jess, Great question! Both the TU690T and TU7000 both feature Crystal Displays for brilliant colors and exceptionally crisp, vivid images. Their Crystal 4K Processor further brings impressive clarity to all your content while upscaling everything you watch to stunning 4K definition, no matter the source. When stepping up to the TU7000, you'll gain Filmmaker Mode, which allows you to watch the source content (e.g., movie) just as the director intended, as well as Tap View, which allows you to cast content from your smartphone by simply tapping it to the side of the TV. When stepping up to the AU8000, you will have all the benefits of Crystal UHD while gaining Ambient Mode and built-in Voice Assistants (Amazon Alexa, Bixby, Google Assistant) with a voice button on your OneRemote. ~Samsung Advisor
