" ... Lovely TV, great 4k UHD resolution. ... "

" ... My last TV was one of the first 32" smart HD 3D, this one is 5 times faster, I had to check online how to fix the intro pop up asking for the zone, and I didn't register to Samsung account to have interactive apps, but Amazon Prime works strait. ... "

" ... Huge screen detailing everything. ... "

" ... amazing really happy with this buy the screen resolution is spectacular! ... I thought it must be the screen that is damaged inside as outside looks perfectly fine - then again I have this tv on a wall mount that pulls out so I'm thinking ... "

" ... The physical appearance of the TV is another plus for me, the thin bezel and the subtle Samsung logo placed centrally on the bottom makes it an enjoyable black rectangle to look at when not watching TV. ... "

-73%

" ... No it does not have Bluetooth ! ... I have had this set 4 months and am very happy with it, the one downside is that it does not have Bluetooth built in, which is my fault for not spotting. ... If it were possible I would give it 4.25 stars - half a star removed for the hard to comprehend lack of Bluetooth which even the cheapest of phones manage to have and the other quarter removed for the way that you cannot remove apps that you are not interested in. ... "

" ... 5) Steam Link does not support bluetooth devices ... "

" ... The only negative for this TV is the lack of bluetooth present in older models, which I was hoping to use with the Steam Link app, this significantly lowers the amount of compatible controllers, will likely stick to the Link Box. ... "

" ... Although it does not accept bluetooth dongles to connect wirelless keyboards, mouse and controllers. ... "

" ... No Bluetooth or sports enhance button but apart from that very goood. ... "

Product Reliability

-100%

" ... It happens for less than a minute but when it happens it happens few times in a row. ... "

" ... Also, the sound suddenly cuts out inexplicably for anything between 10 seconds and a couple of minutes for no apparent reason. ... "

" ... This shouldn't be really happening after a few weeks . ... "

" ... After months of struggling to get this tv to work I have had to ask for a refund as it will no longer connect to the internet! ... "

" ... Samsung offered to send an engineer in 2-3 weeks, instead I have cancelled and returned the order. ... "

" ... mine after 3 weeks of use developed some weird artifact issue and the only way to resolve it is to restart it, i mean 3 weeks for 397 and mediocre HDR and barely any improvement over my non 4k tv is just not worth it. ... "

" ... All of a sudden it has stopped working. ... "

" ... Had a few issues with sound and set up but changing HDMI cable seemed to do the trick. ... "

" ... This TV is super simple to set up and has plenty of HDMI ports and other connectivity. ... "

" ... Need to plug into HDMI 3 port (arc) to get Dolby sound and turn it to game mode but once done you're all set. ... "

" ... Great it comes with Steam Link too so I can play pc games without connecting my pc to the TV via HDMI. ... "

Controls

+40%

-60%

" ... My only complaint is to turn it on I have to press the on button on the remote about 20 times, then the channel buttons and then the on button again before it turns on. ... "

" ... The TV does have an Off timer, which doesn't make much sense as it also turns itself off after lack of button pressing. ... It will warn you to press any button to stop the TV switching off automatically. ... "

" ... Played with settings to no avail, so pressed sound reset and this sorted the problem out, very odd. ... "

Cables

well, tv, wall, sound, plug

" ... Sound quality has been great for me too, not sure if the placement of the TV has affected this but mine seems particularly bass heavy at the moment which is great for music. ... "

" ... The sound is surprisingly decent, a bit of bass, it did have a high pitch whine when first turned on but that went away. ... "

Cleaning

mount, good, frame, design, build quality
