Customer reviews for Samsung 55" Class TU700D-Series Crystal Ultra HD 4K Smart TV UN55TU700DFXZA forGreat TV, Horrible User Interface
the tv itself is fantastic. great picture quality. but the user experience is awful. i've been an appletv user for far too long and the remote control, apps and ui are horrific. the most annoying feature is the samsung tv feature which seems to force one of their random channels on you. the built in apps can't be removed. i ended up deleting as many apps as i could and logged out of the samsung features. that seemed to help dumb things down a bit. occasionally the tv says my appletv has powered off, but it hasnt. when you set a sleep timer it doesn't take into account that you have an active stream from the appletv so you have to scramble for the remote.

Always Too Dark, Software Problem
i am returning this tv, because it is almost unwatchable during the day. the screen is so dim that you can only make out rough details during dark scenes. i googled the problem, tried every single possible setting, and contacted customer support and nothing fixed it. finally, some service techs came and told me that it is a problem with the hdr feature when the content you are watching is in 4k. they said that there is no fix for it because samsung says it is a “feature”. they showed me a movie that only had hd (not 4k) to show me the difference and it was very clear. apparently this has been reported to samsung, but they do nothing about it. why would i want a tv that has an inherent problem that makes the tv basically unwatchable that i know will never be fixed?

great picutre
we love the size and picture quality on this tv. we are not impressed at all with its "smartness" we get kicked out of shows we are watching all the time and it will go back to the main screen. other users have also had this issue while streaming from hulu, netflix etc. our older samsung does not have this problem. it is truly frustrating. the sound quality is ok, we hooked up a bose speaker and it sounds much better.

Disappointed..
I was very excited, this being my first Samsung tv, but I got to say, I'm actually a little disappointed. The tv looks great, the actual display is amazing, but it lacks some key features. This being a 2020 Smart TV, you would assume that it would only have the latest and the greatest features but it doesn't. It doesn't have HBO Go, Now, or Max.. it doesn't even have hulu. It lacks de SmartHub that even 2018 tvs have. This feels like the disgraced brother of the Series 7 TU7000. I was really excited about this, but you're better off with any other Smart TV.
Don't Bother Buying This
this was the most disappointing tv purchase i ever made. it has an auto uhd to game mode for when you connect tge ps4 that was annoying and difficult to navigate turning it on/off. the app the tv suggests you to downloaf doesnt work on iphones. setting up the apps on the smart tv was non existent, as in didnt allow me to log in. i wish samsung made non smart tvs. because i havent had a satisfying samsung smart tv, ever. until samsung provides the choice to buy a non smart tv, i will never buy another samsung product

Great quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little weary when purchasing this television based on older reviews. Now I'm so glad I did! This television is huge! The colors are fantastic and the picture quality is just awesome. All of the included apps work great. I haven't had any issues with the color messing up or certain apps not working. I love that it also has some free channels.
Quality
my husband and i bought this tv brand new have a similar tv still working from 2003. however, the quality of the screen is absolutely horrible. if you have kids, watch out for them touching it or anything that barely touches the tv! the screen of ours was cracked entirely from the inside due to the remote accidently being tossed to it. which is crazy if you have a toy or something that could barley knock the tv, its done. our old samsung 2003 tv survives everything. wish they made more tv's like the old days with more to handle. everything nowadays is so thin and cheaply made. very disappointed that we have to get a brand new tv because warranty doesn't cover it, know we wont be getting this tv.
An impressive TV from the brand
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It can deliver an excellent picture quality, with saturated colors and exceptional motion handling. The wide color gamut and good peak brightness make highlights in HDR content pop, and the low input lag and FreeSync support are sure to please most gamers. Viewing angles do suffer a bit, but that's to be expected. It performs well in both dark and bright rooms, as the TV is capable of displaying deep, uniform blacks, and has very good reflection handling. Overall, it's a great TV for any use.
Do not buy this TV
this tv is garbage. it is flimsy and the screen cracked by simply moving it. stay away from this tv. it is fragile and sansung will not take care ot it. it is physical damage. i have probably moved 20 tvs around in my life and no issues. this one is made of egg shells.
Hi Bigbadwolf81, I am very sorry for the unfortunate situation with a crack having developed in your screen.

SAMSUNG 55”? TV.
I just purchased this product yesterday. I brought it because I have used Samsung products for awhile and I liked their products. I was very disappointed that this TV was labeled as a 55” TV when it is only 48”. No one watches a screen diagonally. This is so deceitful. I would have returned the unit but I don't live close to the club and I had already taken it out of the box and put the legs on it. I will not buy another Samsung TV or their product because of this deceitfulness. I can sat that there is a nice picture on this TV thus far.
