We desperately needed a new tv as the last one we got was a Philips on Black Friday 5 years ago sucked. This is WAY better but not the best on the market. For the price I can't complain $698 Black Friday. Pros HUGE- crisp colors and picture quality is great (for me). Another pro the interface or tv moves quickly and has a lot of great features etc. Cons built in speakers are lacking (but we have a samsung sound bar and sub that helps amplify the experience.) another con and I didn't notice this until it was hung and too late, there are only 2 hdmi ports. In my case 1 is taken up by the HDMI-ARC aka sound bar and the other port is occupied by our surveillance camera system. I had to buy a hdmi switch to use additional devices.\n\nOverall I would recommend this tv for a budget friendly purchase. I will update this if there breaks/stops working.

This TV is great!! My only gripe is that in the days of shows with a lot of action and sports, that 60htz isn't gonna cut it too well, ESPECIALLY if you are a gamer. The 120 htz option is the way to go, but it's way more expensive. At the 60, it's some light blurring. It's nothing noticeable that will ruin the tv experience, but if you watch a 120 htz then immediately watch a 60 htz, you can tell the difference. It still gets the job done and then some. It's more of a nit-pick than anything else. Definitely not a deal breaker though, ESPECIALLY for the price! If you are a gamer who needs the absolute BEST viewing experience, you probably want to pass. But if you're a gamer who doesn't really care about that or a tv watcher whose just fine with a clear 4k picture, you can't go wrong with this tv!!

Maybe my expectation was too high, but the picture seems more pixelated than what I was expecting. There was no owners manual, only a manual for the remote. There's no QR on the TV or the box — frankly makes it a pain when trying to research functions of your expensive TV. There was a film on the screen, but couldn't tell if it was a protective film (needs to be removed so it doesn't fuse to the screen) or if it was the polarized film (don't remove!) they said not to remove — the identifier for the protective film was partially there, but not as described. This model apparently comes with and without the protective film — and apparently it's too much to ask for that they tell you by serial number if it is on your Tv or not. Other than that the TV has been fine.

Excellent Smart TV choice. Clear, vivid display. All the streaming channels we use are available. Over the Air reception is good. Added Samsung sound bar even though the built in speakers are good.\nThe only issue is that the remote does not have a closed caption button.. Why Samsung does not provide this is beyond me (our earlier model remote didn't either). You have to go through a bunch of options to simply turn the closed captioning on.. and again to turn closed captioning off. Such a frustrating process for something that should be so simple.. press a button to turn it on, press it again to turn it off.. Yes the settings can be part of a separate menu.

I honestly did not expect this TV to look so good at this price point. The key with budget TVs is to set your expectations accordingly. At $250 (at the time of purchase) for the 50 inch version, this is awesome! The TV picture looks sharp, has good colors, and looks smooth. My wife (who is very picky on TV picture quality) was even impressed. However, there are a couple things to mention:\n\nPros:\n-4k display with good colors (considering the price of the TV)\n-Samsung's Motion Xcelerator which delivers a smoother display\n-Auto Low Latency mode for gaming\n-Variable Refresh Rate\n-Decent TV speakers\n-Updated Samsung UI\n-Bluetooth Support\n\nCons:\n-60hz panel (although Motion Xcelerator makes the picture seem smoother than 60)\n-No optical audio port\n-Only has 2 HDMI ports\n\nOverall, this is an excellent TV for the price. The only real problems I have is the lack of ports. I'm using one of the HDMI ports for my soundbar, since the TV doesn't have an optical out port. I also have an Xbox and Nintendo Switch, so I'm short one HDMI port. I now have an HDMI splitter which is a perfectly acceptable solution but I should've just bought the U8000F model that has enough ports.

The design flaw of the Samsung Crystal UHF TV is that its native Samsung TV Plus streaming app can't function properly on its own hardware. One would assume native software to native hardware would be better optimized in the same way that macOS might be optimized for Apple products. Most other third-party apps are only marginally better. The main issue with this TV is that its processor is not strong enough to be able to support the majority of streaming offered on today's apps, including the ones by Samsung itself. This results in watching anything that requires an Internet connection to be extraordinarily painful. One can have perfectly set up the TV making sure that there is no app bloat, freeing as much memory as possible, making sure that the cache memory is constantly cleaned, disabling eco power, resetting hardware on both one's own Internet modem as well as the TV itself, and yet it will not remediate the issue. A high-speed Internet connection will not suffice to ensure streaming that isn't continuously interrupted with buffer signals every other minute for 1-5 seconds at a time. There are no exceptions. Unfortunately, a warning must be issued to the consumer that it is never worth it to buy a budget TV if one has the intentions of actually watching TV. A budget TV might be better suited as a glorified monitor to hook up your computer to stream from there directly (circumventing using the TV's processors altogether), but the computing within the TV itself comes up short in terms of performance. The conclusion is that the consumer is forced to buy mid to high tier TVs, like the QLED or higher, if they want to ensure an enjoyable viewing experience. This tier within their TV lineup jeopardizes and sullies Samsung's brand and they would be better off as a company to remove the line altogether, even if it means ostracizing a lower purchasing-power consumer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my Samsung Crystal UHD TV! The picture quality is incredible—vivid colors, sharp resolution, and smooth motion, whether I'm watching movies, sports, or gaming. The 4K clarity makes a noticeable difference, and HDR adds stunning depth to scenes, especially in dark or brightly lit moments.\n\nI mainly use it for streaming shows and movies through apps like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, and the Smart TV interface is very intuitive and user-friendly. Setup was a breeze, and I was connected to Wi-Fi and streaming within minutes. The TV also has multiple HDMI ports, which makes it easy to hook up a soundbar and gaming console without hassle.\n\nOne of my favorite features is the voice control—it's convenient when I'm multitasking or can't find the remote. I also appreciate the sleek, modern design; it looks fantastic on my wall and elevates the room.\n\nOverall, this TV has greatly improved my daily routine by making downtime more enjoyable and relaxing. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for top-notch performance at an affordable price point.

This was an anniversary present for my husband after his TV wore out. He was concerned that the low price meant that it's low end quality, but he changed his mind when we saw the amazingly sharp picture and vivid colors. He didn't like to have to set it up before its primary use as a computer monitor, but when he saw the smart functions in action, he decided that he would use them. He loves 4K video, and the colors are true. He also likes the dynamic range of the sound, which is great when he watches action movies. Snapping on the legs of the TV was easy even though the directions were not so easy because the right and wrong illustration didn't seem to be different. And determining where the power and HDMI ports are was a slight challenge because the manual did not show the exact model we had. But I helped my husband get it set up by using a flash light to find the ports and it was light weight enough for a pair of duffers like we are to get it safely up on the desk. I recommend this TV to anyone seeking quality on a budget because the value is quite good.

This has to be the dumbest smart tv I've ever owned. It's extremely frustrating to use and the settings are mere suggestions. it does TV pretty competently, I love the mobile app and the display is crisp, I'll give it that but here's my frustration: the remote and the interface. There is no way to change inputs unless you're on the home screen and even then, you have to navigate menus to do so, or if you turn on a device, the tv will stop what it's doing to go to that display, so now I have to watch my Xbox load instead of letting it load while I finish this episode, or when I do turn on Xbox, and I do the annoying dance to change inputs, I'm in the correct input now navigating the Xbox, and the screen flashes "game mode on" and sends you back to the home screen because it senses you're playing a game and you have to navigate the input dance all again, but now in game mode!! \n\nIkik, just change the settings, brilliant, let's turn off HDMI CEC to stop the issues with the Xbox, of course, I have done that multiple times and multiple times it turns itself back on. Nothing is intuitive. \n\nReal life example of above: turn on tv, 5 seconds later I hear my Xbox turn on, tv goes from home screen to gaming hub, frustrated I go to change tv settings, I can't cause it's not at the home screen, press the home button and it sends you to the gaming hub home screen, you go to settings and when the tv sees your not changing certain settings, it goes back to the last input, (the game), so I literally have to go to the home screen, start Netflix go to settings to change all settings, then back to inputs to go back to the game. I've done that countless times in the past month

The set up process was not smooth. I could not get the apps icon loaded and after having to research, I discovered it was because the TV came in store mode and I had to do a process to change it. Compared to Roku or fire TVs the process for setting this up as much more cumbersome. I was disappointed that the remote did not come with a voice command feature. Overall, the TV is a good product for the price.

This TV has a great picture. It was ok to setup, not difficult just cumbersome. It fits my need fro affordable and great picture. The only issue i have is with the remote controller. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. It's not a battery issue. There is nothing blocking the front of the TV so signal issue shouldn't be a problem. I downloaded the Smart things A app to my phone and use that when it doesn't work. So i did find a work around. It would be nice if the remote worked consistently.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Samsung YV to watch over the air television, internet surfing, virtual doctor's visits, for watching movies/TV shows, listening to music and playing games with the Samsung game app and also with my PS3.\n\nGraphics, sound and color saturation is excellent. There are so many features that I have yet to crack the surface. Everyday, I'm learning something new. \n\nIt sometimes seems as if I'm actually in the picture. I love my television and believe that this is one of the best television purchases I've ever made. The value is great,as well.\n\nI broke my ankle, leg and elbow, at the same time, all on the same side. I'm homebound so I decided to purchase a new television for my bedroom. I'd like to thank Samsung, for it has helped pass the time with wonderful entertainment and a great distraction learning what my television is capable of. I learn something new everyday. \n\nIf you're researching and considering purchasing a new television, you can't go wrong, with Samsung.

I had budgeted $********* for a television and happened to stop by my sister‘s house and she had a Samsung television and I loved the quality. I tried to purchase one at the store but they were just too big and cumbersome for two senior citizens to carry out the door. So I went home and I found the TV. I wanted online and ordered it and in less than 24 hours it was at my door and I've been watching it for two days and I absolutely love it.

The sound doesn't get very high, during some movies, my family and friends could hardly hear it at all.. It has a pretty good picture and the installation was really easy. It doesn't have very many connections to it or from it and has none of the older S-Video or Component Video connections and no connections for a thubstick drive either. The legs of it are very cheaply made and seem like they might break or probably better to just mount the TV.

Good TV for the money but you get what you pay for. Set up was easy. The brightness and contrast come at max adjustment and you will need to tone them down to make the picture look right. Also i feel like the quality goes in and out and if i binge one show long enough it will start to buffer. Sound quality is good.

I gave it 4 stars because I dislike the remote. I don't like direct app buttons and the size of it. \nLove the tv, has an amazing picture. Was an absolute deal at the price we got it at. Settings are easy to adjust and modify.

I like this TV but I still prefer my FireTV over it, and use the features of my firestick moreover then the smart features that are with this TV. I find this TV does not stay connected to the internet well, and just prefer the ease of the fire stick menu over this one. I also don't like the remote for this TV either. Not a huge fan. Display is nice though.

Doesn't want to connect to 5Ghz. No issues with 2.4Ghz. Display is great but I don't like the fact that you have to sign into Samsung account to watch the TV. The resolution/picture quality is great for the price and the processor is fast enough for everything I need it to do.

I upgraded from a 50” Samsung to a 55” Samsung. My old tv is right at 4 years old. No issues just wanted something a bit bigger. The new 55” Samsung has a great picture, but the tv itself feels very flimsy. My biggest gripe with the new tv is navigating the home screen and various setting menus. It seems a bit more complicated than it needs to be. Just takes some getting used to.

I received this 65 inch Samsung tv from my children on my 65th birthday. It awesome picture and sound quality especially with a Bose sound bar all around an excellent tv. The only minor problem is the remote, I have another older Samsung tv near by the remote also controls that tv witch can be little frustrating too bad you can't adjust the frequency so it controls the one tv.

I've had several Samsung TVs, loved them %26 this one is a huge disappointment. \nThere is no way to use my old soundbar and subwoofer because there's no optical output port. The TVs built-in speakers are ....not good.\nThere are no operating instructions at all, only unpacking %26 installation instructions. One must use the onscreen operating manual. Samsung makes that a challenge. \nThe operation of the remote is counterintuitive. I had to watch an online video to learn. It was not a Samsung video, just a kind man. If you're used to the Samsung remote, this is completely different. \nThe TV is very slow to respond to any command from the remote. No more instant changing of channels, moving through the channel menu %26 forget returning to the previous channel. \nI am fairly tech savvy. This is the first device that I've had to resort to online third-party tutorials to use. \nThe picture is great. However, that doesnt make up for all of the drawbacks.

I'm extremely satisfied with the entire experience. The price was surprisingly affordable for such a large, high-quality TV, and it truly felt like I was getting exceptional value for my money. The picture quality is stunning—bright, crisp, and incredibly detailed—making movies, sports, and everyday streaming look amazing. The sound is clear and well-balanced, and the TV's smart features are easy to use, offering quick access to all my favorite apps. Ordering online through Walmart was simple and convenient, with a smooth checkout process and clear communication at every step. The TV arrived on time, well-packaged, and in perfect condition. Overall, I'm thrilled with the product's quality, the great price, and the reliable, hassle-free service I have received from Walmart.

This TV has an amazing picture but it was just as bad to set up as a new computer is. Also the user interface is complete crap. Every morning I come downstairs to have my coffee and watch the news and as soon as I turn the TV on it starts showing me recommendations for stupid shows that I would never watch. I don't care about “top pics for me”. I want the TV to come on and show what I was watching last and not have to hunt for 10 minutes for an elusive channel. It is absolutely pathetic how long it takes to find a channel. The TV also is less than 20 feet from my router which is on AT%26T fiber and uses less than 30 feet of cable in the entire pole to house system but the TV is constantly losing signal and having to check for connection. Usually Samsung makes quality stuff. Not this time. Too much useless extra crap that makes it stupid and regrettable.

The TV is great, but I was disappointed that it doesn't support the Turner Classic Movies app (Watch TCM). I can get around this by adding a Roku device, but I didn't expect to have to do this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great television for the price point. The sound is fantastic and the display is amazing. Does not respond as quickly as some other brands but again for the price point, this is a amazing TV.

Just got the unit so can't speak to how long before possible issues arise. Samsung use to be a quality product but has fallen in recent years. Price was good for what I purchased.

First the remote is small and has no numbers so to go to a certain channel you have to scroll through all the channels in between. Second I need the closed caption because of my hearing and if I switch between antenna channels and apps then back to antenna it doesn't work so I have to unplug the tv and plug it back in to get captions, if I shut captions off on apps before switching to antenna and wait about a half hour then turn them on again they will work but if I turn them on right after I switch to antenna they won't work, it's crazy, I have a 46 in Samsung in my bedroom I've had probably 8 years you can leave captions on no matter which channel I have on it's great other than captions and the remote the 65in has a great picture.
