Customer reviews for Samsung 55" Class TU700D-Series Crystal Ultra HD 4K Smart TV UN55TU700DFXZA forScreen 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> 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.

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.

This “smart” TV is hot garbage
it comes with faux cable programming that resembles a mirror dimension of tv. odd, and almost laughable. you will turn the tv on thinking you're hitting your cable plan, but in reality you're in this b-rated tv hell. you'll set it up to your wifi, only to have it disconnect *while using the wifi” and the only thing ive seen work is to turn off the tv and hold the power button on the remote untill the tv turns on again. you may decide to download an app like pandora. be prepared to hit “install” about 50 times before it actually installs it. you then realize it only has one hdmi port, so your options are to hook it up to an av system so you can have apple tv and cable, or just deal with the poorly designed, buggy smart tv app.

So lifelike it's almost scary!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] when the driver dropped off the box, he made sure everything was all right, since there were several holes in the box. the tv was fine! we appreciated him being so nice! it didn't take my husband long to unwrap the tv, hook it up, then hang it on the wall over the fireplace in our living room. setup as so simple it wasn't funny. we easily connected the tv to our roku soundbar and speakers and were set to go. the picture is absolutely stunning, crystal clear and like watching live television, no matter what we watched. we keep expecting the people on the screen to walk off the tv into our living room. i highly recommend this tv. i am so thrilled with it i am considering buying another for our home bar!!!

Awesome reception and pictures
Easy set up
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.

New TV
Good TV for the price
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.
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!
