Customer reviews for Samsung 55" Class TU700D-Series Crystal Ultra HD 4K Smart TV UN55TU700DFXZA forLow build quality, low durability
I bought this TV in 2020, it worked ok for about 3 years, then got worse and worse and died completely after 6 years use. Initially, the TIZEN UI started getting less responsive to the point that it would take 20-30 seconds from the time I pressed a remote button to the time the tv actually responded. Then, the TV developed a black bar at the bottom, which miraculously went away after leaving it unplugged overnight. Finally, the screen died after 6 years, out of warranty, and it never turned on again. Pretty short life for an electronics device that has no moving parts and sits on a wall untouched all day.
Tizen terrible Samsung forces apps
the tizen operating system is slow and has very few features. many of the settings you would want exposed just arent available or are turned on by some other setting that you may not want to enable as well. it's too easy to end up in amazon prime or some other streaming service that paid samsung for a favorable position on screen. this tv is basically a better quality vizio with worse software. let me remove the samsung tv app. i don't use it and it's annoying. for that matter, why are the apps arranged the way samsung wants them instead of me? the person who paid for this tv. i should be able to set the icon i'm most likely to hit on accident because the remote is laggy. all said, i will most likely never purchase another samsung because of this tv.
Love it....but....
I'll make this quick, I LOVE IT!!! What sucks is lack of storage or the option to add more. How can I perform a software update, when the TV out the box only gives like 200 MB. I had to delete the only two apps I downloaded and then tv still didnt have enough storage. Ima give it a week then change my review to a 2 star.
Good overall
very good picture, not phenomenal speakers but they're clear. navigation is relatively simple. my only gripe - it turns itself back on!!! and yes, we've checked the remote, the software, blah blah blah. all the things that can be looked up to try, we've tried. wish we could figure out the issue, but other than having to get back up and turn the tv off again, it's a solid set.
Great Feature and Responsiveness
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my TV for streaming movies and playing video games. I love it for both purposes. It has been excellent and I recommend the TV to anyone looking for a large screen. Pros: Great Picture Great Software Cons Screen Brightness is not relatively high enough NEEDS MORE HDMI INPUTS. It is so stupid they only give you two now.
Disappointing
picture is good. software/interface is a huge disappointment. i was hoping to not have to use a box of any kind but will have to go back to apple tv. the smart hub is so bad that when you turn the tv on it will only default to their smasung channels which blasts some nonesene game shows or bad tv. i use youtube tv for programmining and have to go in and load each time which is slow. app tiles are small and hard to distinguish which app is highlighted. i have a tcl with roku tv that was cheaper, runs faster, has a much better interface with infinately more configuration, etc. really expected more from samsung. i just picture a group of design people sitting around a presentation of this “smart hub” interface and being impressed enough to approve it....wow.

Bad quality, software issues, just excuses…
took this out of the box, plugged it in, hooked up firestick, worked for 1 day. tv will not start up again. disconnected everything, tried hard reset, 4 hours of troubleshooting and nothing. just like all the other reviews here, big issues with software not allowing the tv to start, no hard controls to do a hard reset, just this useless smart remote. all of these folks can't be wrong, it's just non existent quality control, cheap components for a fast buck, bad support. hugely disappointed………this was a birthday gift from my son.

Save you time and money.
SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY! 3rd time writing this bad review the other two were taken down. Bought this less then two months ago and now it won't turn on. It hardly worked with Alexa and Apple AirPlay. It would only bring up a blank screen when I tried to use them. Picture was decent when it worked. It comes preloaded with a cluster of just junk apps that you will never use. Not worth your hassle or time.
HB00: Thank you for purchasing the Samsung TU7000 TV. I am very sorry that you are experiencing issues turning your TV on. You may want to try the following troubleshooting steps: (1) Make sure that the AC power cord is securely plugged in to the TV and the wall outlet. (2) Make sure that the wall outlet is working and the power indicator at the bottom of the TV is lit and glowing a solid red. If it is off, the TV either does not have power, or it is on and the screen is black. If it is blinking, your TV may need service. (3) Try pressing the TV Controller button at the bottom of the TV to make sure that the problem is not with the remote control. (4) If the TV turns on, your issue may be with the remote control If you have an app that is freezing, not loading, or crashing, you can try cold booting your TV, updating your TV's software, deleting and downloading the app again, and a completing full reset of Smart Hub to correct the issue with the app. You can search online for ‘Samsung Support TSG01003027’ for step-by-step instructions If you need further assistance, please know that Samsung Customer Support is here to help, and can be reached via any of the below options: 1-800-SAMSUNG (8AM -12AM EST, 7 days a week) Or visit us on the Samsung website and click on the SUPPORT link in the upper right corner for: 1) Contact Us Options (LiveChat, Remote Support, Facebook, Twitter) 2) Product Support 3) Manuals and Downloads 4) Warranty Info 5) Product Registration: Registering your product gives you access to easy warranty support, convenient opt-in to special promos and offers, faster troubleshooting and service, and quick notification of system updates 6) Samsung Community: A great resource for getting help from Samsung moderators and customers and more 7) …and more product, repair, order, and care options Again, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on this product.

Returning
We have given it a try, but we will return it. The apps do not work properly, videos keep freezing. We have checked for updates and done everything possible to make this work. Not very impressed with image quality, the smaller Toshiba that we had for a while works better than this one. Not worth keeping.

Terrible TV. Waste of money
I bought this hoping it would be an improvement because I liked my old samsung TV a lot. Netflix doesn't work, the picture isn't great, constantly having internet issues with the TV (My internet has been fine with my other TV's and computers) thinking about returning it but it will be a pain. Also, recommended screw sizes did not fit to mount it. Idk what they were doing when they built this piece of garbage.
