Customer reviews for Samsung 55" Class TU700D-Series Crystal Ultra HD 4K Smart TV UN55TU700DFXZA for65" Class Crystal UHD TU7000 TV – disappointed
**Review: 65" Class Crystal UHD TU7000 TV – Disappointing Performance After a Year** I purchased the 65" Class Crystal UHD TU7000 TV with high hopes, given its impressive specs and the brand's reputation. Initially, everything seemed perfect – great picture quality, decent sound, and an overall smooth viewing experience. However, after about a year of usage, my excitement quickly turned into frustration. One day, the TV just wouldn't turn on. The power indicator light flickered briefly, but the screen remained completely black. No amount of resetting, unplugging, or troubleshooting helped. I checked all the connections, tried different outlets, and even consulted the manual, but nothing worked. For a TV that's only a year old, this is incredibly disappointing. It seems that the build quality or internal components simply couldn't stand the test of time. I had expected a lot more durability for the price point. In terms of picture and sound quality, when it was working, it was quite good. But the fact that it malfunctioned so early on, without any signs of wear or heavy usage, really makes me question the reliability of this model. If you're looking for a TV that'll last more than a year, I would recommend exploring other options. Unfortunately, this model fell short of expectations.
Great…except the ghost living in it
love this 65" tu7000 smart tv. clear, light, easy set up. replaced my 55” samsung in livingroom….but theres a ghost. at random, the tv will turn itself on. this occurs at times like 1am or 3am, which is great when you have a slight view of a suddnely glowing livingroom from bed. but also i'll come home from work at 4:30pm and find the tv on. ive began checking through the smart app of the tv is powered on theoughout the day, and have found it on. why?! never this problem woth my other samsungs..and no, this isnt a product of me turning on other samsung tvs and it turning on 65”, too. tried that.
Converted me!
Wasn't expecting much from a Samsung product, but was pleasantly surprised! Gorgeous picture, native apps are easy to use, and remote is very intuitive. Only negative is there are only 2 hdmi ports. In todays day and age 3 should be th absolute minimum. However overall I am tremendously satisfied almost a year in and will definitely be buying more Samsung in the future.
Nice picture when it works
have had this tv for a week now. nice picture, but having issues with the user interface of the tv. seems like the tv has some major software issues. double checked to make sure everything is up to date before writing this review. hulu and disney plus apps often crash or don't load. having issues connecting to cable box. have spent more time trying to troubleshoot on my own than watching actual tv. just moved from an older samsung model and didn't have any issues. not sure if it is this specific tv or broader issue, but at this point would not recommend this tv.

We love this new Samsung TV .
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this Samsung TV with the Samsung Plus feature. It is so easy to find movies and programs we want to see. We especially love CineVault, and have recommended this TV to all our friends and family.
Screen is too dark.
the screen is so dark even with the brightness turned all the way up. the mandalorian on disney+, fargo on hulu, and minority report on samsung tv plus are all unwatchable because of how dark the screen is. i've researched this problem and it appears many others have experienced this problem as well, see here: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/tv/tu7000-too-dark/td-p/1890701
ChrisM: Thank you for purchasing the TU7000 TV and for your review. I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with the brightness levels of your picture. If the colors on your TV are correct but just a little too dark or bright you can try Dynamic Picture Mode, or manually adjust the Brightness settings to your liking. Dynamic Picture Mode will make pictures brighter and clearer in bright viewing environments. Go to: Settings > Picture > Picture Mode > Dynamic Or manually adjust the Brightness and other settings to your liking. Go to: Settings> Picture> Expert Settings You may also want to disable Power Saving Mode which automatically adjusts the brightness to reduce the TV’s power consumption. Go to Settings> General> Eco Solution> Power Saving Mode. Ambient Light Detection will also automatically adjust the brightness level of the TV, according to the ambient light level, to reduce power consumption. If Ambient Light Detection has adjusted the screen brightness to a too bright or dark level, you can select Minimum Brightness to manually adjust the minimum screen brightness. Go to Settings> General> Eco Solution> Ambient Light Detection Please also be sure you are running the latest firmware. You can check to see what software version your TV is using and if there is an available update through the settings on your TV. Go to: Settings>Support>Software Update. You may want to enable automatic updates for convenience. Select Settings > Support > Software Update, then select Auto Update. I hope this helps to improve your picture.

Started bad, got worse
when we set up the tv it had a bright spot on it. we called for service right away instead of returning it because we figured we would give samsung a chance to fix it and track any manufacturing issues they may have. the screen went totaly blank 3 days before service was scheduled to arrive, only a few weeks after purchase. the repair went very well but about once a week we have to unplug the tv because it gets stuck in a mode we cant get out of. here we are 2 months into ownership and we have to power reset the tv. i really do not like the operating system, it seems to get stuck in samsung tv plus or other modes and you can't switch to another mode/app. most recently we had to totaly reprogram it. awesome picture but functionality is a big let down.

Save your money
this tv is impossible to set up. it would not get past the screen where you accept the terms. i tried for 4 hours, gave up and took it all the way back to the store and traded it for a 6 series. no issues with the 6 series at all. set up in 5 minutes. stay away from the 7000 series they have garbage software on them. this is the 4th samsung tv i have purchased. i would give it zero stars.

Trash TV and Trash review tesponse from Samsung
i recently did a review of this product. i returned it because it was complete trash and never worked correctly. i specifically said in my review that i spent hours with tech-support and samsung replied by saying i should do everything that i explicitly said i did in my review. reading samsung replies to bad reviews i notice the trend of them obviously not caring about the customer experience and making a lot of excuses of why thier product does not work. all this does is reinforce my belief that i should never buy a samsung product again. i am very happy with the lg i traded up for. don't waste your time. buy another product that actually works correctly.

A step back for Samsung!
I have three "old" 6000 series TVs and they are fantastic.New UE43TU7002 I've been using for a week and I'm really disappointed. I went through the agony to set up a wi-fi connection and again it doesn't work nicely. I often have to reset the TV to factory settings to make the internet work. Also I hate black corners on a bright screen!
