Used this flatscreen for a few hours in the first day. Next day it had a beautiful green lineon the screen on the left third horizontal. Sent back. Taking a chance on another one.

Twenty days in and there is a dark band covering the top 25% of the screen. This seems to be a widespread problem with Samsung TVs. A google search turned up numerous reports of this exact problem, where a linear dark band covers the top half of the screen. Seems to be "hit or miss" whether youll get a good set or not.

I bought this television with the intention of streaming 4k video over my wifi network. In order to do that you have to have an 802.11ac compatible network adapter to have enough bandwidth to prevent stuttering. Whose bright idea was it to provide a network adapter that wasnt good enough to stream at the resolution it is capable of? The biggest problem however is that nowhere in the description does it specify what kind of wifi adapter it comes with. In its listed specifications under "Connectivity Technology" it just says "Wifi". I didnt even consider that a supposed 2018 model television would cut corners on such an important part of modern televisions. Be more transparent next time and you will get less returns.

Bluetooth connection doesn’t work. Unable to connect to any other audio besides speakers. Can’t connect any mouse or keyboard and navigating with remote is not easy.

Recently purchased this because previous TV wouldn’t stop freezing. Had this one about a month and works great so far. I don’t really use the “Smart” features but it has all of that stuff. I downloaded the MLB app and streamed a free game and the picture was amazing. Then the season ended. Very nice and small bezel all around. Tiny red LED light on underside (next to power button) when TV is off. (Last TV had a big red light facing forward). I got the 50” and it was lightweight enough for me to mount to the wall by myself, but I am not small. Would recommend that most people will need 2 people.

I bought this to replace my 9 year old Sharp 1080p LCD so I can get the most out of my PS4 Pro and it looks good, good color and clarity, super light weight, has all the connections I need. I will update after owning it some time. Only Con I see out of the box is the feet are pretty small if your going to just set it on a piece of furniture Im not conviced it would be super stable, this is not a concern for me as I wall mounted, but its something to note. Note on Mounting: I have a 10+ year old universal mount (Which was more than adequate for this TV) however samsungs instructions are not clear on the exact bolts you need for the TV or if the included spacers are required for non-versa mounting systems. 1.) Yes, the included spacers are requires regardless of mounting system, the top stick out and the bottom will be flush when inserted so dont be alarmed. 2.) they list in the instructions 43-45mm long M8, 1.25 twist bolts for my 55" version, once at the hardware store you will discover there are 40mm and 50mm bolts but nothing in between, I got 4 of each just to be safe and found that the 50mm where perfect and the 40mm would have be far too short (not sure 45mm would either if you find some), so get 50mm, 1.25 twist, M8 Bolts.

The HDMI would constantly cut out when attached to a TIVO. Even when I changed a channel I had to unplug and replug the TIVO. The picture was fair and would cut off the heads of people on some HD stations. Also the mounting holes are too close together. Samsung missed the mark on this model.

We previously had a 65" Samsung 4K Smart Curve model TV and loved it. When relocating, we elected to right size our home for just my wife and me. The 65" Curve was now too big so we sold it. :( After relocating, we wall mounted a true 42" model we had as a second TV, using the same wall mount used for the 65" Curve. In time we realized the 42" was just too small for the room. When beginning the search for a new TV, we felt a 50" model would be a perfect fit. We live 2.5 hours from the closest big box store, so we rely heavily on shopping online. I share this for a few reasons. If you cant see all the connections, picture quality and actually measure the size of the TV, you need to pay close attention to the details/reviews/questions when shopping online. I almost pushed the button on a 50" Samsung TV when I realized the actual picture size is 43" and not even close to 50". :( Why the industry, including Samsung, plays this game with picture size is so misleading to the consumer. Not a good thing! We then looked at the 55" model, in reality a 48" screen which is about as close to a 50" model we could find. I have to give props to Amazon on ordering, shipping and delivery. I had visions of box damage which never occurred. The TV arrived on time as scheduled and without any sign of box damage. Thank you Amazon! Several reviews mention poor quality regarding the remote, which is accurate. The remote for this 55" model is by far inferior to the Curve model we had in the past, but we also paid close to $2K for the Curve. The Curve remote was exceptional, but the cost was 3 times more expensive too. Some of the reviews mention picture quality as a concern which I take exception to. For the money, the picture quality is excellent. I successfully mounted the 55" model to our wall mount though I had to purchase longer bolts and drill 4 holes in the existing mount, but the mount works perfectly after a few minor modifications. Connecting our existing sound bar used for the Curve became a big issue, though. This 55" model does not provide a Bluetooth connection, which more expensive TVs offer, including the Samsung Curve we previously had. After several missed attempts in connecting the sound bar to the new TV, I eventually realized that simply connecting an HDMI cable to the sound bar and the ARC-HDMI connector on the TV solved this problem as well. Now I can use the Direct TV controller to change channels and adjust the sound on the sound bar, though doing so also required adjusting the TV voice speed adjustment to match the voice to mouth movement of people talking on TV. I had to troubleshoot this without there being any documentation about this, but I was able to get everything connected and working properly. It just takes a little more time to accomplish. That said, we really like the finished product and the price. We considered a more expensive model, but this model is perfect for watching football games, movies, our weekly shows and the news, etc. Were not gamers, so no input on this function, but for a very nice TV at a reasonable price, I can highly recommend this product.

disappointed, thought I was getting a 120hz tv, not some made up 120 motion rate. False / deceptive advertising

Right off the top; minus 1 star since its not oled. Aside from that, its picture is great and the sound is better than I expected. My only legitimate complaint - and its a pretty big one - is that the UI is bottom of the barrel and remote kind of sucks. The "smart" features are old fashioned, unpolished, and clumsy. Really, anyone who buys this will want to add an apple tv, Roku, fire TV, or gaming console to stand in as their entertainment device... because its just that bad. As far as picture settings go, im surprised how theres no way to create and save any custom settings profiles. Basically, if you want to ensure you getting the best picture for each of your devices, you have to tweak your settings, every single time you switch sources. The remote control is also pretty old school; tons of useless buttons and no shortcuts to any Samsung apps at all. Its basically the same remote from the 90s. Bottom line is that the picture is good but dont expect anything else qbout this tv to "wow" you.
