Will not reconnect to Internet when powered up.

We have tried two of these, and neither would reconnect to the Internet on power up from the remote without jumping through hoops to reset the network at the TV and re-select the network and enter the network password EVERY SINGLE TIME! The picture is great and the features are what we want, and it works great until you use the remote to turn it off. Getting it connected again takes 10 minutes (we don't have a trivial password). Totally unacceptable for a "smart" TV. Our Roku stick and Amazon Fire stick both connect fine when powered up, so we plan to return this TV and get a regular TV and another Roku stick that will actually work.

Great one hiccup

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I had read in the reviews that this tv sound may randomly disappear… it had to me after a few months of usage, all I had to do is unplug it for a few minutes and it all came back. The image quality is amazing! Very clear!

Bit quiet, good purchase, curved feet fits corners

Does run a bit on the quiet side compared to our main but as its our second TV and mostly for gaming its really not a problem. The feet are curved so it fits nicely into the corner I needed it for without hitting the wall. Over all very happy with it.

Great picture, lucky to find sale, too

wow, i am at the age i realized the tv is smart and i am not. however, the setup was quick and smooth. the picture is super. there's so much content loaded on this tv i will never use it all. the only thing i might criticize is that i increased the text size as large as it will go, and it is still difficult to see from more than 8' or so away and the remote is not backlit. that is a big one. i had read that in other reviews and it's very true.

SAMSUNG ROCKS

This is a great TV. Picture quality is very good and the sound better than my Vizio. The built in apps are great for my streaming of YouTubeTV and Netflix. Assembly of the stand and setup was simple. The price was very reasonable and delivery was free.

Quite Happy With TV, Warts and All

This TV is just right for or needs. We had two(2) criteria in our shopping for a TV to replace our old system. Number 1 was it had to fit the area and number 2 the technology required both onboard DTV (OTA - ASTC) tuner as well as WIFI connectivity. We are pleased with the functionality of the set with minor exception. The E-Manual is beyond my ability to understand. I printed the manual (same as E-Manual but in paper) finding it much easier to configure and access the sets features. Picture quality is much better that the old TV but sound is so-so. A small but annoying design is the remote, it lacks tactile signal so requires you to look at it to access services. After weeks of use I still have not developed "muscle memory" allowing me to use the remote in low light. One other annoyance is my inability to add apps that I want from other sites and the ability to hide or remove the preset apps, none of which do I want but constantly stumble into by blindly pressing the wrong button on the remote, oh ya, in the dark it is easy to get the remote upside down in your hand and end up selecting something you then spend time getting out of. We only use the onboard WIFI to keep the software up to date. We us an external HDMI WIFI connection to get the apps we want.

I TRIED NOT TO GIVE ANY STARS

this was the worst tv ive ever pirchased (yes it was returned). the sound was horrible, very muffled, volume changed everytime i changed the chanel, went from blasting to not even audible. the picture was just as bad, washed out no matter what channel and no matter what changes i made to the settings. this experience left me never wanting to deal with samsung with any of my future electronic purchases.

Too Slow for Being Smart

we bought this tv not ony because of the name brand but also the price. its picture quality is ok if you are sitting directly in front of it, but terrible if you have a side view. its response time in changing a channel or app is beyond slow. even getting from one app to another is a challenge at times. one plus however, is getting down to one remote from three in the past! we’re still debating whether to take it back and exchange it.

Another great Samsung product

I have always been a fan of Samsung products... This TV was at a wonderful price and had extremely good reviews and although I've only had it a few days I have been able to work with the color and the colors are just really dramatic and the TV is exactly like I thought it would be... Excellent quality for the price

Great TV but needs improvements

I like the television a lot, but there are areas which need improvement. The app bar icons across the bottom of the screen are too small and difficult to see which icon is being selected. Either the bar needs to be bigger overall, or a selected icon needs to "grow" more so that we know what app is being selected. Another improvement is that the button layout on the remote is poorly designed. The rewind, fast forward, play, and pause buttons are located at the bottom of the remote and are very difficult to manipulate with one hand while holding the remote.
