Great TV. 240hz motion rate.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a great TV in my opinion. Had it for a month now. Wonderful picture. It was an open-box item. Saved close to $200.00. It can be a bit scary buying an open-box item, wondering if there was a valid reason the unit was returned. This unit works perfect. The 240hz motion rate is why I bought it over the less expensive models with 120hz motion rate. The 240hz offers a crisp and blur-free picture for sports and fast action video. Would highly recommend you also go for a unit that has the 240hz motion rate. It's worth it. The newer Samsung remote controls are easy to learn and navigate. The voice control on the remote and TV is nice, though I don't use it much. The Best Buy guy was great. Friendly and knowledgable, and his taking the time to answer my questions was appreciated. There was a Samsung rep' there also, and he was just as great explaining the features of this TV and the higher-priced ones. He was so good I about broke the bank to go for the latest and greatest, but I slapped myself and kept within my budget. Samsung makes a good product.

Totally awesome for visual love seek
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I must state in truth, this was first of all a fantastic birthday gift from the misses. Ironically due to a mishap from a another retailer in which was a disastrous purchase, the item was completely damaged despite perfectly sealed in the box and all, my wife was devastated as it was to be a surprise. Yet due to my feel for, if you want a better chance for decent to great electronic devices go to a specialist, as we did the following morning. The mount Vernon Best Buy location was awesome, great service was provided, as based upon the sales rep"s recommendations we ended up with this fantastic screen of heart throb, as it is even better than the initial pre-hand purchase. The size is amazing the tech specs are great, the sound and maneuver of the smart features are simply put, cool!!!. truly I must say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!with total contentment of joy.

Great Settings
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First I want to say that this tv is awesome. Perfect size for my asymmetrical tv stand. The tv has amazing settings in which to adjust picture and sound quality. And pair it with the Samsung sound bar, best tv I could have ever purchased. The last Samsung tv I had was a 51 inch Magnolia Plasma tv and I did not like that tv at all when it came to picture nor sound quality. I’m glad I did not lose hope in Samsung because my new Samsung series 8 is awesome. I would recommend anyone living apartment style or even for bedroom use to purchase this amazing tv.. you will not regret it! The remote is super stylish and easy to use! I love that it has Netflix and Hulu buttons at which I have both, super convenient. The tv is dark grey and super sleek, not bulky at all.

Great value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a good tv but did not have a deep wallet. I did some research and went into the store with a different tv in mind. After speaking with a gentleman in the tv department about my parameters, he immediately suggested this tv. I’ve been very satisfied with the picture quality, ease of use, and overall experience. Perfect for my needs.

Q: QuestionI just set up this tv but it have to have the volume on 19 or higher to hear it. Is this right? I have it set on tv speakers, optimize but does not seem like it should be up this high a level to hear it.
Asked by Mominator.
- A:Answer I just bought this tv in July 2019. I also have experienced the same issue with needing to turn the volume up very high to hear human speech, but then I get very annoyed because the volume is overbearingly high for background noises, sound effects, music, etc. (and I do not have any hearing issues). Overall the sound quality is not great even if you stand in front of the tv. I don’t know Samsung to have a good reputation for sound quality, which is very disappointing when I do like their TVs. Yes, Soundbars are available to optimize sound performance, but they should not be a necessary & pricy addition to the already expensive tv you just bought.

Q: QuestionWhat does hdr mean on tv
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer 'HDR' stands for High Dynamic Range, and it is the current big thing for 4K TVs and 4K content. The term originates in photography and refers to a technique to heighten a picture's dynamic range – the contrast between the brightest whites and the darkest blacks.

Q: QuestionIs this samsung tv 2019, and does it support 3D technology?
Asked by mitten.
- A:Answer No it doesn't. I have an older Samsung TV that does support 3D and I find the glasses cumbersome and the programming not good enough yet to bother with.
