Outside shoveling gravel
I am the person who would rather be outside shoveling gravel than sitting and learning the intricacies of a new remote. The Samsung system is very intuitive; the screen quality is superb. I liked it so much I ordered three more versions. I really enjoy these televisions.
Best review ever
Samsung UHD TV is a solid everyday television with a clear 4K picture and a sleek, modern design. It is easy to set up and use, with a smooth smart TV system that gives quick access to apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video. For normal viewing like TV shows, sports, and streaming, the picture quality is sharp and bright enough for most rooms. It works well for casual gaming and general entertainment, making it a reliable choice for a living room or bedroom. However, it is more of a basic 4K TV, so it does not have the deep contrast or advanced features of higher-end QLED or OLED models. Sound quality is decent but can be improved with a soundbar.
Not great don’t care for Samsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t really like the Samsung TV sometimes it just freezes my cable box and I can’t change the channel or turn off the cable. I have to try and turn everything off in the middle of whatever I’m watching and lose whatever I’m watching and turn it back on to have it get out of that mode not always the best I cannot put the icon for Paramount+ on my list. I have to go to the Internet and search for it every time I wanna watch Yellowstone.

Stunning Picture and Smooth Performance
I’m absolutely thrilled with my 70" Class Crystal UHD U8000FD 4K TV! The brightness is perfect — vivid without being harsh — and the contrast makes every scene pop with rich detail. The responsiveness is lightning-fast whether I’m streaming, gaming, or switching apps. I’m impressed by how well it handles upscaling; even older shows look sharp and clear. The uniformity across the screen is excellent, with no dark spots or glare issues. Overall, this TV delivers a premium viewing experience that rivals much higher-priced models. It’s sleek, easy to set up, and truly transforms movie nights into something special. Five stars all the way!
Good not great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The television is fine. Always like Samsung's interface, but weird things. HBO Max is not in the app store. You can search and find, but not on the home screen. Also, occasionally have to turn off/on the sound bar so things re-sync together. I keep expecting a software update to fix this, but has not happened.

Remote problems.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice television set. It has a real nice color. Only problem is for an unknown reason the remote doesn't work properly. The remote quits working. it freezes up. We have to unplug the tv and plug it back in for the remote to work. This has happened 3 times in the short time we have owned this set.
Hi Lori, Thank you for your feedback. If your remote isn’t responding, here are a few quick steps to help determine if it’s working correctly: 1. Check the batteries: Remove the back cover of your remote and replace the batteries with a fresh set, ensuring they are inserted in the correct direction. 2. Test for infrared signal: Point the front of the remote at your smartphone camera. While holding down any button, you should see a flashing light through the camera screen. (For iPhone users, the front-facing camera works best.) If you see the light, your remote is working and may need to be re-paired with your TV. 3. Point the remote correctly: Try pointing the remote directly at the TV from about 5-6 feet away. This can help ensure a clearer signal between the remote and the TV. If you still need assistance, please contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (8AM – 9PM EST Mon – Fri, 8AM – 6PM Sat – Sun), or visit the ‘Support’ link on our website to start a LiveChat session. ~ Samsung Advisor
Great clarity!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Samsung TV has been fantastic for watching sports. The picture is incredibly clear, and the vibrant colors make every game feel more exciting and immersive. Fast-moving action stays smooth and sharp, whether it's basketball, football, or baseball. The sound quality is excellent too, with clear commentary and crowd noise that makes you feel like you're right in the stadium. Overall, it's an outstanding TV that has taken my sports-watching experience to the next level. Highly recommended!
Great TV if you ignore the Hub and use Apple TV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product is bright, colors are crisp, and contrast is good. TV also turns on/off quickly. Downside is the Hub. That is awful, as is the case with other Samsung TVs. Samsung needs a capable designer for the interface which is WAY too busy. Fortunately, I use an Apple TV to avoid that mess.
Terrible picture quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the picture quality on this television it makes everything appear as if it is a low budget movie I'm not understanding why it looks that way it didn't look that way at the store but by far is the worst quality picture out of all the televisions that I own I will not buy a Samsung television again

hate the remote,
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the tv, bought the same tv 5 years ago, it croaked a month after the 5 year warrenty expired. Thought I'd give samsung another chance, if this one dies after the warrenty expires, I will never buy another samsung tv ever. The icing on the cake, the new remote is the opposite of user friendly.
