This is the TV you've been waiting for
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.it took me 2 months of research to finally find a TV that I was satisfied with. My biggest requirements; price and quality. We were upgrading a 50 inch TV in our family room that we bought 5 years ago. Wow!! Flat-screen TV technology has drastically improved. I'm impressed with what is out there! This is a great mid-level TV. I consider the OLED TVs to be top of the line. This TV can definitely hold it's own. It's perfect for what we needed, and the sale price was fantastic. If you'te debating on whether this TV is the one, you can not wrong with it! It's excellent in value and quality. Some pointers: I went down to my local Best Buy and looked at screen sizes. Originally we thought a 65 inch would be good, but after seeing a 70 inch, we thought WHY NOT!? I am happy that we decided to go with something bigger. It fits perfectly on our wall. Speaking of walls; splurge on the $200 premium install that Best Buy has to mount the TV professionally. This is the type of TV that you want to showcase and have it professionally mounted. It comes with a stand, but I just don't see this quality of TV sitting on a stand. If you're going to get a 70 inch TV, put it on the wall. A skilled person can mount on their own, but this TV is HUGE and HEAVY. It's a job for at least two people. Best Buy installed it, hooked it up, did wires, connections; they did whatever it took to get our TV just the way we wanted. They were very knowledgable and answered all of my questions. They gave us a detailed tutorial and showed us all the amazing things the TV can do. Let the pros mount it. This TV comes with 100+ channels already preprogrammed on Samsung TV FREE. That was a great surprise. The 4K is outstanding! The first thing we watched was the Avengers End Game in 4K and it was outstanding. (We also bought the Samsung 2.1 soundbar and the duo together are great). Get 4k HDMI cables. Your picture will be awesome We watch movies, news, sports, and we also hooked up a Nintendo switch to it. The video game quality is great. I'm blown away. I can only imagine how the Playstation 5 will look on this TV. It's a great TV for all different types of viewers. Once you get comfortable, you can adjust the color to your liking. We just leave it on the "dramatic" setting. It makes all the colors pop. Everything looks crisp and clean. We also play music from it. Connect the TV to your phone's Bluetooth. It's pretty cool. Good luck on your TV search. You will not regret getting this TV.

CLEAREST QUALITY & Sleek
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I ordered this tv for my new home and always wanted something big. This tv took my breathe away. Me and my boyfriend were so excited. The pictures don’t do it justice. With all the lights off it feels like we are in a movie theater. Since this whole pandemic we needed something to brighten our spirits and this tv was the best option. Shoutout to geek squad who set it up on the wall with our moveable mount within 10 minutes. (Yes is it absolutely secure). Know every time we watch tv we will feel like we are in the cinema right in the comfort of our own home. If your a person like me who loves loud sound and bass i would suggest getting a sound bar which is what I will be doing soon but great job Samsung with this!!!!!!

Good TV, non-techie can manage the tech
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This review is for someone who is only partly competent and confident with cloud based everything. :) Overall, I really like the TV. It replaced a 5 year old 60” Vizio and although I didn’t notice a huge ah-ha! difference in picture quality, it sure made navigating the apps I feel forced to use a ton easier. Delivery was awesome. Geek squad called, brought it in, gone in two minutes. Unpacking was easy with the pre-cut box. I feel like I’m falling farther behind every day in being able to adapt to new technology, but I found setup to be simple. I still wish I had a cable box and everything in one place, but we went with AT&T and the Samsung remote is compatible with their service. As for the remote - meh. Can’t get used to it. I really do not like the tiny little buttons placed at the bottom of the remote for fast forward, pause, etc, and I can’t see where I am as I fast forward so end up just watching commercials. (Some of this may be an AT&T issue so sorry for not knowing the difference). I also submitted formal feedback requesting a bright box around the app you have selected because you just can’t see which one you are on as you scroll through them. Look at the photo and see if you can. Also can’t figure out how to delete apps you don’t use. It was easy to figure out how to turn on closed captioning but I can’t figure out how to make it show when watching via the AT&T app, but like I said, me and technology... Anyway, I got a great buy. Really a Best Buy:) so given I’d expect to have similar issue with any brand Of smart TV, overall I’m very satisfied. Especially since I never went to compare products in the store. If I could do it over I’d spend the extra $200 on the next size up. (Last thing - be sure to read the Samsung privacy disclosures re: recording devices)

Sweet Deal
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.The TV is a Great buy; especially at the the price I paid. The picture quality is excellent and no problems since I purchased it a month ago. Getting my Verizon FIOS TV remotes to work was a challenge, but somebody posted a good guide on the internet to get them working properly. At 54 lbs, I chose to get an upright stand that works on my current 36" TV stand Rfiver Universal Swivel TV Stand Tabletop TV Stand Base for Most 40-80 inch TVs, Height Adjustable with Tempered Glass Base and Wire Management, VESA 600x400mm, Black.....Perfect

Amazing TV worth 2x the price!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Bought this on a Black Friday deal at a bargain basement price. Having learned over the years that you typically get what you pay for, I wasn’t expecting much. I couldn’t have more pleasantly surprised. This thing is amazing! Brilliant colors, sharp contrast, and ZERO...I mean ZERO motion blur, even when up-converting 1080p content to 4K. The Samsung user interface and accompanying app make connecting and configuring all your peripheral devices a breeze and the Samsung menus are equally user friendly. For example, with our old 50 inch Imsignia, my wife could never quite get the hang of switching inputs to watch Netflix or Amazon Prime. With the Samsung apps and dedicated buttons on the remote, she can now switch back & forth between these apps and cable TV with ease, although the ease of use and widely available 4K content on these apps might cause us to finally “cut the cord” on cable. The Best Buy purchase experience was equally impressive. We ordered the night of Thanksgiving and the TV arrived exactly when they said it would, 2 days later and in pristine condition. My son & I installed it the day it arrived and I was watching football & an F1 race by that afternoon. You may want to consider having BB or another pro do the install job if you’re not experienced with hanging wall mounts & giant TVs yourself though, as the TV is a little heavy due to its size and definitely requires either mounting the bracket to studs or using some industrial strength wall anchors. You’ll also want to ensure your HDMI cable is up to par. To really enjoy everything this TV has to offer, especially if connecting other input devices and/or a home theater system, you’ll want a 4K HDMI cable capable of supporting 4K UHD video and at least 60 megahertz refresh rates. Luckily, we ordered one from Amazon in advance after a friend recommended upgrading our old cable for the new TV. The TV wouldn’t even recognize our other devices using the old one, All in all, we’re thrilled with this purchase at this early stage. We’d give it 10 stars for initial quality & value if we could. If Samsung’s durability and longevity is anywhere near that of the old low budget Insignia we replaced, this will be the best $529 we’ve ever spent on home entertainment!

Good So far. 70 inches is a lot of TV!
||Posted .Great price. Could not find reviews on the model anywhere, it list in specs that there is not screen mirroring, however, there is. Easy to set up, Samsung account allows you to control TV from iPhones. It also has Apple Airplay! All apps available Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon TV, Apple TV, YouTube, Spectrum etc. I’ve seen bigger pictures on some 4K TVs but, my view is without any adjustments to the settings.

Best t.v for the price
||Posted .Took advantage of the early Black Friday special pricing. Hands down best t.v for the price. Had to adjust picture settings to maximize picture quality while while watching sports and movies. My advice is to turn off “soap opera effect” setting while watching a movie and turn it back on while watching live sports, huge difference for both. I also added accent led lights to back of the t.v to give it an extra touch. The remote takes a bit to get used and navigate but practice makes perfect. Overall satisfied with my purchase.

Love It!
||Posted .Instead of buying more expensive TV's and keeping it for 10 years ,we instead prefer to grab a black Friday special every 3 years, and with that we go up in size little by little. This replaced a 3 year old 58 4k which still worked like new. Samsung never disappoints on these Best Buy Exclusives. Picture quality excellent, sound quality excellent, well made and aesthetically pleasing. I actually like this remote better than any of the previous models. And of course the Black Friday price tag is what guarantees the purchase. Over the years we have outfitted 4 bedrooms, a living room and a enclosed patio, all sporting Samsung's. One remote works in any room. Our delivery was scheduled between 7AM and 1PM . Delivery showed up at 6:30 AM. I'm not complaining , we were thinking about that TV in our sleep.

Q: QuestionThe description says that you can't screen mirror to this tv. On the other hand a rep has said that you can cast your android phones screen onto the tv using an app. Can you 100% cast your android phones screen onto the TV using the app?
Asked by JayP.
- A:Answer My Hubby has a Samsung Galaxy S8 and he screen mirrored to this TV. That is the first thing he was super excited about. For Apple phones there is a IOS App. I have an Apple but I haven't tried it on the TV yet. I have a Plus screen on my phone. It's not necessary for me personally to use the feature. Hope this somewhat helps

Q: QuestionDoes the TV have an HDMI-Arc port for connecting a soundbar? Or would I have to use an optical cable?
Asked by amandaa.
- A:Answer I just bought one a week ago. i hooked up my stereo through the ARC which is HDMI 1. It also has a eARC capable. In fact when hooking up the ARC, make sure you do not select eARC from the Sound setup unless you do have eARC sound device. I had not notice the "e" in eARC and took me a while to trouble shoot as i was not getting any sound at first :-)
