This was a replacement for our beloved M5300 which has a broken screen. The new N5300 can not record live TV like its predecessor. Can not change region. At least I couldnt figure it out and samsung tech suppt said it was not possible on this model. Good news is the usb does still support a hard drive (hdd). groundhogyh at yahoo

I am very disappointed that this television does not have a sleep timer on it. I realize it will turn itself off automatically if there hasn’t been any activity by the viewer however that’s after four hours. I don’t see a way to get it to reduce that to an hour or two I’m very disappointed in that. I think that’s a waste of electricity and I would like my TV to put me to sleep at night, but not sit there and run and wake me back up again after a couple of hours, so yeah, I’m very disappointing. That’s why the low rating.

The 32” N5300 has my bedroom television for three weeks. It’s my first smart TV and I love the streaming capabilities and SmartThings connection is a big plus. Picture quality is excellent, there is no noticeable lag. Contrast is perfect except in darken (no lights on) room conditions.

When I brought the TV home, it had a perfect picture for about 2 minutes, then got dark. I originally thought I had set something up wrong, but after a few days called customer service. It turns out a couple of ambient light settings were wrong. The CS rep knew exactly what to do. I wish the initial settings wre set up properly. Failing that, I wish I could have found the solution in some of the settings write ups.

My Brother needed a new TV for his bedroom and loves this. He had to mess around about with the aspect ratio to get the screen the way he liked it, but I believe it's all good now.. hooked right in, lit right up. He doesn't have internet so he doesn't use the smart functions..

I love this TV. I bought this size because of space considerations, but I knew I'd be in good hands with Samsung. I know some have complained of the menu font size, but if you read the manual (which you do have to get online), you find out you can switch the contrast to make it white print on a black background and that you can bold the font and that you can make it larger as well. The on screen graphical user interface or GUI does take some getting used to as well as the correct remote button to use in certain cases, but I've found patience and a willingness to explore is helpful in those regards. I upgraded from a 2007 Sanyo 25 inch 720p and the difference is amazing! I am really pleased with my new TV and know that it'll just get better as I get used to it more!

worst tv on the market. having been the engineering side of tv and related products for 25 years, i thought samsung would have improved by now, but no dice. tv would not scan for "over the air" signals when ethernet cable was plugged in. menu system has gone from bad to really bad. samsung can make monitors. not tvs.

Tv worked fine at first after a while the applications did my work and eventually the picture would never show and all I’m left with is a black screen and sound. There were so many issues filing a service request I’m gonna just end up throwing away the tv because it is trash now. And a waste of money.

Had great difficulty in actually setting up. I have three other Samsungs and no problems with any of them. For some reason, I kept getting a response telling me the model was invalid and it was on the back of the TV. SInce then, it stopped working and the fix was to upload software onto a blank flash drive and load that into the TV. I had selected automatic updates at set up. This has been a nightmare!

This TV does not have adequate documentation. I'm 85 years old, but I grew up with computers. So I was able to figure out how to use NetFlix. The average person my age and even younger would not have been able to do so. Samsung needs to supply the user with step-by-step instructions for using all of the features of this TV. It is irresponsible not to do so!
