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.

2 sets in 2 weeks. The first one the screen went out a week to the day with minimal viewing hours. I own several Samsung TVs and no issues so I thought it was a bed set and exchanged it. The 2nd one lasted 3 days with about 2 total hours of viewing before it decided it doesn’t want to turn on. DO NOT BUY THIS TV! I guess it’s time to move on to a different brand

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

Bought as a surprise for my 83 year old dad. Was delivered Saturday and I helped him set it up Sunday. There is a small square shadow top center and shadow circles radiating down. It isn’t obvious in dark screens but very prominent in light settings such as skies. Taking it back.

I had the same problem as others report. After about 3 weeks, incident where TV does not turn on, even though IR sensor is receiving signal from remote. TV does not have a manual on-off switch. Only recourse is to unplug tv from power and then plug back in. This works very well otherwise, great picture, sound, smart features.

I am very disappointed that this model of Samsung does not support the HULU app although it is marketed as being installed. Now in order to use HULU I must get a Firestick or Roku, an added expense. I think the Samsung model N5300 itself is okay but if you want/use Hulu, look elsewhere.

We purchased this unit to replace an old flat screen without smarttv technology. Its size, resolution and sound are more than adequate for bedroom viewing. The setup was a snap- it readily connected to our wifi network & streaming apps installed without a hitch. The only drawback is that we still had to connect a firestick because Samsung does not support NBAtv. Otherwise we are extremely pleased with this buy.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) The picture on this tv is crystal clear and the colours are vibrant, perfect for movies and gaming. Connection is always good which has been a problem with other brands smart tv’s. Great to have all apps in one place.

Nice luminosity, but the few picture settings are all unsatisfactory for an FHD. Even though there are RCA analogue output, the set won't recognize headphones; a smaller set should be stand-alone and not need to be attached to a sound system, and ability to use headphones in some form is essential.

Needed a new 32" TV for a room in the house. Wanted a TV with better electronics than Roku, TLC, Sharp. Narrowed it down to Samsung and LG. I have other Samsung TVs (some are smart models). The picture is very good on the TV. The remote and processor speed are much better than the Sharp I had before. For example when you select Netflix or another streaming app, it starts up quickly. Sound from any flat screen is fair at best. What I don't like is that when I set it up it wanted to update immediately, which when it did, basically made the TV lock up. I called Samsung support for assistance. Had to use an USB stick to force an update. This did resolve the issue, but it took multiple tries. You should be able to remove ANY of the apps that come with the TV, but you can't. When you power on the TV it should remember that last streaming app you were using and start it up, but it always goes to antenna. The interface is also outdated. I am hoping with ongoing updates to the TV that it doesn't slow down like the Sharp TV did.
