Hi Al Adams, Thank you for sharing your experience. If you've turned on your TV and hear sound but see no picture - or if the image is cutting in and out - there are a few common possibilities to consider: 1. Connection Issue – This is the most frequent cause. Check for loose, faulty, or improperly installed cables between the TV and any connected devices. 2. External Device Issue – The problem may lie with the device connected to your TV (e.g., cable box, game console). Be sure the device is powered on and using compatible video output settings. 3. TV Hardware Issue – If connections and external devices have been ruled out, the issue may be internal and could require technician support. We’d appreciate the opportunity to assist you further.

Hi Care, Thank you for sharing your experience. Samsung remotes are designed to offer convenient control, but we understand if you’d prefer to use a universal remote.

Hi luv2watch YouTube, We appreciate your feedback regarding your U8000F TV’s performance. If you're experiencing slow apps, freezing, or lag in general response time, try the following steps: 1.
