    Great value for money but not the Samsung of old ...
    4 out of 5 stars
    Great value for money but not the Samsung of old ...
    **UPDATE** For those intending to connect the TV to a PC graphics card, I recommend reading my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 review. Especially if, like me, the colours are never quite right. **UPDATE** Item arrived on the day promised at 12 noon. Not going to upload pictures as the TV looks like a TV but will mention some subtle differences which I feel are worth mentioning. As an aid, I have converted the manual to jpg to help visualize the differences, and it also includes very useful specifications. One important spec to be aware of is the 2 legs, I have the 55-inch model, and This model's legs are located near the centre. Makes it look a little odd means you can still use an older TV stand. Many Samsung TVs come with legs nearer the outside, even though they do look professional and in my opinion more appealing they can be wider than many older TV stands. Now for the difference: Be aware if you purchase the smaller screen size 43 or 50-inch model the legs are located nearer the outside. (See section 5 on the attached quick guide) But remember this is a smaller screen so may still fit that older TV stand. Optional mounting. On the rear is screw holes specced to VESA mounting standard 200 x 200 mm. All you need are the screws that you will need to purchase separately. **VERY IMPORTANT** Be carful selecting the right screw size, you want M8 11-13 mm. Ignore the many recommendations to use M8 43-45 mm. Those screws are way too long and if used, could damage your screen. This TV is only 25.7 mm in depth. (see wall mount section on the attached quick guide) Assembly was easy, Just extract the TV onto a large table. I recommend using a towel as added protection. Attach legs using the 4 screws provided. The legs are finished off with a plastic joining cover. Purely for aesthetic value and would not hold weight but does help to improve the look. The setup is as you would expect from Samsung simple and easy with the option to set up via the remote or mobile phone. The interface is Samsung's tried and tested Tizen a Linux-based OS that is simple to use and comes with all the standard apps you'd expect and the ability to add many more. My TV is to be used in a room with no aerial but with Samsung's TV Plus you can still access a Porifera of entertainment channels all streamed right from the internet. One snag I experienced was with Universal Media Server for streaming media over my home network. The media server did not always appear in Samsung's source list. It would though after refreshing the network in the TV settings. This media server works fine on my three older TVs one of which is a Samsung. Not all Samsung's are created equal. One misguided complaint I've seen is not able to get 4k at 120hz. Be aware it's not meant to. This is a budget TV. You are not getting those specs in this price range. The TV will do 120hz at 1080p and 4K at 60hz. Ideal for general TV usage. But you need to take these limitations into account should you intend to attach a modern console, PC or watch a fast-moving sport. The picture quality is great. Fantastic colours, decent blacks and an easy-to-use settings menu, with many options available should you wish to tweak those colours a little or a lot. Enabling Game-Mode is easy to find and made even easier via a quick settings menu where selecting Game-Mode is as easy as selecting the source. The remote control is reasonably responsive. When you first turn the TV you will experience lag but is short-lived and goes away after 2 to 3 minutes, In my opinion, 95% of the time, the interface interacts with the remote seamlessly. Samsung has also added the option to interact with your TV via their SmartThings app. A simple and easy-to-use software remote you can install on your smartphone via the app stores. I do have a perplexing complaint that there isn't a keyboard included in the app. Come on, Samsung the remote is almost a winner, but misses out without a keyboard included. Without it's just a lost opportunity to show your customers you are listening. No keyboard has been a complaint for customers going back to June 2019 on your own SmartThings community. Yes, you can use the search function, but this is not the same and not the greatest search engine either. Overall, this is a great product at a great price. You definitely get value for money.

      Great TV for the price. You won't find any TV's better suited for gaming at this price range (unless buying second hand)

      Pros:
      - Great 4K and 1080p images
      - Surprisingly good contrast
      - Supports Freesync on Series X, VRR on PS5
      - 4K 60hz, 1080p 120hz (don't believe idiots online who say it's not an actual 120hz panel because Samsung's marketing confused them)
      - Very low input lag (10.9ms in game mode with a 4K 60hz signal)
      - Supports ultra wide when connected to a PC.
      - Samsung's TV interface is intuitive and fast
      - Great remote (comes with standard full button remote and a sleeker remote with less buttons that is a lot nicer)

      Cons.
      - Awful stock settings (switch the picture settings to Movie and never look back honestly)
      - Poor HDR, slightly better colours but no real lift to brightness over SDR. You can use the dynamic contrast settings to squeeze out a few more nits but you're sacrificing image accuracy
      - Overall brightness quite low.
      - Sound is quiet at max volume and lacks any dimension
      - Blacks look substantially worse with no ambient lighting

      Bought this to replace a faithful ten-year-old Sony Bravia which suddenly expired one morning. Scoured the various reviews for days before plumping for this model. Was initially delighted both with the delivery and the picture and sound quality. It took an hour or so to set it up, but it was fairly straightforward. However when I attached a drive to record programmes, which I had done with the Sony Bravia, I encountered problems. The drive, although recognised by the TV could not record any programmes at all. I scoured the instructions for any clue to the problem, tried out the drive on another TV and it worked fine, so I assumed it must be the TV. After fruitless hours trying to fix the problem, I contacted Samsung support, and they helpfully promised to get to the bottom of the problem. After a day I was informed that the record facility was not available on that model, and when I asked the reason why, was told that it was a decision made by the software developers, which sounded wholly unsatisfactory, and I communicated my dissatisfaction to Samsung, suggesting I would never have bought the TV had I known this to be the case. The decision behind this would appear to be that Samsung don't want you to have the ability to record TV programmes on their models. In conclusion, the picture and sound are superb, but it will not allow you to record programmes, so bear this in mind if thinking about buying this model.

      Brilliant TV, especially for the price. The TV itself is very thin, with a thin bezel and would look great wall mounted, but the stand on the 50" model at least is nice and supports the TV well (no movement at all in a busy living room).

      Picture quality looks great out of the box but it's definitely worth spending some time adjusting and fine tuning it to your preferences. 4k HDR content continues to impress me and gaming on PS5 and PC looks fantastic, with lots of gaming specific options built in (I'm yet to test 1080p 120hz). Terrestrial TV HD channels look great.

      It's also a nice touch you get 2 remote controls. The Smart TV component has all of the streaming apps that I use and is snappy and fast when going from app to app and even allows you to customise the order the apps appear in to make the experience even smoother. The Smart remote is the better option imo as navigation feels a lot more snappy when using it. I guess my only 2 minor negatives are no Dolby Vision and the panel isn't super bright but it is definitely bright enough, especially once you have followed a YouTube settings guide.

      I don't think you could ask for much more for the price and as expected it is a huge leap forward from my 1080p plasma from 2012.

      All in all if you're looking for a TV at this price point I don't think you will be disappointed, unless you have unrealistic expectations about what you should be getting for the money. Definitely recommend.

      The TV arrived very promptly, the next day in fact and was very well packaged and also very easily removed from the packaging. I already have a similar Samsung tv of slightly higer spec so setting it up was familiar and very simple for me.
      The picture is superb on HD channels and acceptable on lower grade broadcast channels but it depends on the signal you get through your aerial - i mainly watch the likes of Netflix, Youtube, etc. and the picture is excellent. The sound is ok but if you're buying this as your main tv and require powerful sound you will probably want a soundbar.
      I'm very peased with the look of this tv, it's very thin with a minmal border to it and if wall mounted sits very close to the wall, almost picture frame like, and if you are concerned about the environment it also comes with a solar powered remote control which needs no batteries.
      I think this is a good tv and very pleasing to the eye. I'm very happy with my purchase.
