Very easy to set up wheteher you are using ariel or via the numerous digital boxes etc available. Functionality is superb , really good sound quality. Looks pretty smart as well . Good value .
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2023Size Name: 50"Style Name: AU9000 2021Verified PurchaseGreat 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
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 December 2024Size Name: 50"Style Name: CU8500 2023Verified PurchaseBought 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.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 May 2022Size Name: 50"Style Name: AU9000 2021Verified PurchaseBrilliant 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.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2024Size Name: 50"Style Name: CU8500 2023Verified PurchaseThe 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.
