" ... no, too quiet, "set volume to 40" . ... So that the marketing blurb sounds more impressive? ... Sounds fine, decent picture. ... "
" ... And even the TV sound quality surprised me too! ... "
" ... A lovely TV, slim, good colour and size, just a shame about the sound. ... "
" ... The sound is decent enough, more than okay for a bedroom, but you might wanna get a soundbar for a living room. ... The sound is fine for a bedroom but you might need a soundbar for a living room. ... "
" ... I think this is the best you'll get in that price range, picture quality is perfect, sound is good even without a sound bar or sub, lots of additional features , set up takes 5 mins, easy to connect other devices etc. ... "
" ... Great TV and the graphics and sound are second to none. ... "

" ... The picture is very high quality even when watching SD tv. ... I have my SKY HD and 4K Blu Ray player connected to the TV via an Onkyo 5.1.2 amp and speaker set up. ... The 4K movies are breathe-taking. ... HD 1080p looks stunning and I love the way the TV up-scales just the right amount without making the picture look "fake"! ... "
" ... HDR is excellent when I play on PS4 pro. ... "
" ... Watching content in 4K HDR is stunning, what's equally as impressive is how 1080p and even standard definition content is upscaled to look on this display. ... I have Sky Q (non UHD), the HD channels really look fantastic and that's coming from a solid 1080p LG display that this replaced. ... Of course you're not going to be getting OLED/QLED type blacks and colours, but this isn't far off, and at a fraction of the cost. ... The smart features of the TV get the job done - Netflix, Prime video etc are there and in 4K (albeit I had to log in several times for the UHD content to show on Prime). ... "
" ... Watching blu-ray movies was a lot more fun and enjoyable especially if you have a 4K bluray player with a 4k disc. ... "
" ... This isn't OLED quality, but you get a budget priced TV with UHD, 4K and Smart. ... "
" ... I'm absolutely blown away by its 4k display, watching 4k videos on YouTube made my eyes hurt literally for a few minutes but that goes away. ... "
" ... My 12 year old, top of the range at the time LG TV finally gave up the ghost and was replaced by this Samsung TV at less than the cost of the original LG. ... Crystal clear with impressive resolution, even when watching old films, which were apparently much better defined than I thought. ... "
" ... The picture is really clear & fantastic if watching UHD movies. ... "

" ... Everything works fine but the only and the most uncomfortable thing is that USB ports are placed behind and if you fix this tv on the wall then you can forget about the USB’s . ... "
" ... The lack of a scart socket can be overcome by the puschase of a HDMI to SCART adaptor which costs around £15. ... "
" ... I tried this with the TV connected with Ethernet and with wifi, neither worked, and I even tried downloading the update onto a USB from the samsung website which also didn't work. ... "

" ... HDMI ports are a little hard to reach if the TV is wall mounted. ... "

I've rated this so poorly as it came with a big dent in the screen and Amazon have been worse than useless at helping me, (I am chronically ill and bed bound at the best of times, relying on a TV for entertainment) and given that I am I very loyal Amazon prime customer and spend money with them on a weekly basis, I'd expect better Custer care than this, I was really looking forward to upgrading to a smart TV and I'm sure this TV is great, I'm just sad that Amazon have not taken the care needed t ...
