Side by Side Comparison of: Samsung

Replaced my aging Samsung sound bar with this bad boy. I have a 55" LG tv so anynet+ and Samsung features don't work with my tv. So I will not be reviewing those.

I was looking for a stylish sound solution that will add some sound separation and oomph to my movie and tv consumption. I also wanted to be HDMI CEC compatible.

I had no issues in installing the sound bar. Plugged in HDMI cable into ARC HDMI port on my TV. I made sure to get the latest HDMI cable from Amazon that is CEC certified.

After the sound bar was connected I plugged in the subwoofer into the power outlet and pressed the power button. It automatically connected to the sound bar.

After subwoofer paired with a sound bar I hit the power button on my tv remote which in fact turned my TV and sound bar. I was also able to control the sound bar with my tv remote and adjust the volume. My previous Samsung sound bar did not allow me to do that even with a HDMI connected to the TV.

The sound is much greater than my tv speakers. It is not an audiophile speakers nor a high end home theater system. Though it works great in the small living room and adds great atmosphere to my tv watching.

Defiantly best bang per buck ratio once again!

Great sound and bass for the price. Works well in an average sized living room. Takes it about 30-45 secs to power up once turning on the the TV. I do love the fact that it powers on and off with the TV, at least when connected via HDMI. Haven't tested it with an optical cable.

UPDATE: 12-24-16
1 year later this sound system still sounds great. No unexpected mechanical issues. No sound distortion. I love the bluetooth too. I can pair my computer or phone to it and blast some music through the living room. Seems to stay connected at least 20 feet away before it loses its signal for bluetooth. Works through at least 1 wall too. I still love this sound system.

Great product, very easy installation. I was looking for something which is not very powerful as I live in an apartment. This fits my requirement, sound is very crisp and clear and when listening to music the sub woofer makes sure you enjoy the song.

If you have a samsung tv then just using the HDMI cable through ARC port, you can control the sound bar using tv's remote including powering it on and off.

Works great. Installation and setup was super easy. A really great deal for $150 shipped.
Great addition for my Samsung 50" TV.

The HW-J450 Soundbar works flawlessly with my Samsung UN65UH8550 TV. Installation was extremely simple. Both the bar and subwoofer connect via bluetooth to the TV. When the TV is turned on, the other devices automatically power up and connect. The sound is vastly superior to that of the TV speakers. I could not be happier.

Great TV and great price. No issues other than the initial packaging resulted in the delivery of a new TV with a broken screen. Amazon was great about the return and shipping a second unit promptly. The packaging is an issue. Both units were received with "modified" styrofoam that was designed for a smaller unit and was trimmed to fit but clearly didn't protect it effectively. The TV was simple to set up and met my expectations nicely.

Delivered super fast without any issues. Packed very well. Easy to set up. Works perfectly. The sound is fantastic and the HD feature is like watching a documentary! I'm extremely happy with my purchase and Samsung. Would definitely recommend this TV!

This TV is amazing. I was very skeptical of an LED TV as I have friends that have them and I always thought they made the picture look weird. I always felt like my Plasma gave the best picture. It's very close but I can definitley say that this TV has a great picture. I mostly use it for streaming sports with a Chromecast and WatchESPN it performs flawlessly. No jerky motion, everything is very smooth. I did use the settings from this website: http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/j6200/settings and recommend you do the same. Definitley gives the best version of the picture.Last note - Amazon is AWESOME. I was a little scared to order something so large but with free 2 day shipping with Prime I thought I would give it a try. TV arrived in excellent condition with big foam pads at every corner. I ordered the TV at the beginning of January and by the end of January the price dropped about $100. I did a chat with Amazon support and they refunded the price difference with no Q's asked. Truly a great experience!

This TV has an amazingly clear (and huge!) picture, with very good sound.Interestingly, for whatever reason, it was delivered with the settings adjusted to make for a less-than-great picture. I was disappointed when I first turned it on, but after fiddling with the myriad of picture settings, it is now the clearest, most brilliant TV I have ever owned.And anyone who is wondering if size matters, wow, does it. We went from a 48" Samsung HDTV to this 60" model, and there is no comparison.

Okay, let me start this review by saying i'd consider myself somewhat of a tech guru and i'm also a big fan of Samsung products so my expectations of this TV were extremely high as I've always had good luck with every product I've purchased from them which includes cell phones, laptops, and other TV's. Also, I purchased this TV to replace my Top of the line 8500 Series 42" Plasma TV in the living room and that TV has an absolutely stunning picture; in 2012 I paid about $1700 for it (further hiring my expectations of this LED TV). With that being said I'm going to try and be as in-depth as I can in this review because I read a lot of negative reviews that I'd like to address with my experience. First off, the Shipping (I know this has nothing to do with the product itself but it seems to be something a lot of people worry about and dwell on) -Like most Amazoner's I was a bit nervous purchasing a $700 TV online, not because of Amazon but because of the possibility of it getting damaged in transit and then having to go through the whole return & replacement process. But the TV arrived in two days from time of purchase (Amazon Prime) via FedEx and the box was in perfect condition, the same as you would expect when purchasing from best buy. As I un-boxed the TV everything was good and the TV was protected with Styrofoam as well as a plastic sleeve covering the base and screen. There was absolutely no scratches or cracks on the screen or any other part of the TV and honestly it would have to be a pretty rough ride for that to happen as the TV is secured in the center of the box by the Styrofoam but these things happen. Before I mounted the TV above the fireplace in place of the old one I wanted to plug it in and make sure the picture and everything was functioning how it should, when I plugged it in it went through the installation process connecting to the internet and updating. Directly after that I went to the Netflix app and that's when I noticed that there was a dead pixel center left. This isn't a huge deal and is in no way a bad reflection on Amazon or Samsung, these things happen (a year ago I bought a laptop from best buy and got it home and it had several dead pixels). This is really the nature of the beast when dealing with electronics and is more of a quality control problem than anything. Performance & Picture -Now aside from the pixel issue (which is only noticeable on dark screens) this TV performs like a top of the line LED. The picture is stunningly clear and smooth, the colors are extremely vibrant, and the blacks are exceptionally deep especially for an LED. When it comes to the hertz of this TV I have had absolutely no problems with shadowing or blurring during fast action sequences so I can say it is actively 120hz. I use my TV's for a wide assortment of things, I watch a lot of Sports, play video games, and watch a lot of movies so picture and sound are extremely important aspects for me. This TV performs, I put it to the test with 1080p football games as well as first person shooters on the PS4 and I was extremely pleased. When watching sports I'd suggest turning on the "Sports Mode" too, this further optimizes the picture as well as the Audio. Like other reviews have said The factory settings for the picture will need some tuning (factory is a bit dark) depending on how you like it, I like the dynamic setting with the brightness up but that's all a matter of personal preference. Also, Samsung had a real problem with the 2013 &14 Smart Software in terms of freezing and lag, I can say without a doubt that these have been solved with the latest Smart Hub updates. Keep in mind that this TV doesn't have the Dual Core Processor like the models above it but it is quite snappy when searching the internet browser or opening up your Netflix apps. A lot of other TV Brands have done away with incorporating a web Browser in their iOS and I'm pleased that Samsung has kept it because I think its a great feature. The speakers on the TV are truly impressive, the volume goes 0-100 and in my fairly large living room I would never need it about 40. I was listening to Sirius radio and had it on 75 and it was clear and loud for a TV. Also the pre-programmed Audio settings are great, generally they really don't do much when you put it on "clear voice" or "Movie" but with this TV you can hear a noticeable difference. My favorite aspect of this TV is that it can Identify and open my 2TB Seagate desktop HDD. Now, this is great for people like me who have a ton of videos, movies, pictures and other media on an external HDD and want to be able to open and access it in one spot for a true multimedia center. My other TV did not have the capability to read this, but this smart TV not only reads it but it has all the codecs to be able to play a wide range of media; So with 2 USB ports you can plug in 2 thumb drives or HDD's and switch between them by pressing the Source button on the remote. Lastly, I had read a few reviews about how terrible the viewing angle on this TV was and the fact that it could only be viewed from certain angles, I really don't understand this. I have this TV mounted on a telescopic full motion articulating mount that can go in just about every possible position and I put the TV in the most skewed positions (positions no one would ever watch TV in) and it was just the same as perfectly level. I saw absolutely no difference in picture quality or anything else. I can imagine that in some of those positions there might be a problem with glare in high lighting rooms but that's not the TV's fault. If I had to have a complaint --If i had to have a complaint it would be that the TV is fairly thick for a 2015 TV. We have come to expect everything to be as thin as possible with today's technology but this really doesn't bother me, id rather have something with a little substance and built solid. However, for someone that low profile is their number one they may want to look elsewhere. And when I say thicker, I mean about 3 1/2 inches -- the TV is light in weight though. Also, the remote is very simple, I would have enjoyed a TV remote much like the one that comes with Vizio's 70" TV with the built in QWERTY keyboard but oh well. Finally, the HDMI situation, like others have stated this TV does only have 2 HDMI ports, which is a bit disappointing because if your like me you like to have your cable or satellite box, your PS4 or Xbox, and an HDMI cord running to your laptop plugged in all at once. It's inconvenient but it is easily fixed. All you have to do is buy a 3 or 4 port HDMI switch that automatically senses which port has a signal for 10$ here on Amazon. This TV only having two HDMI ports should in no way deter your from buying it, especially when there is such an inexpensive easy fix. Return & Replacement -Because of the Dead pixel I obviously had to contact Amazon for a replacement. Now instead of going through the online process I called Amazon's Award winning customer service to talk with a Rep Directly. Keep in mind this TV was delivered on a Friday at about 3PM, I called customer service at about 7pm and after talking with them briefly they issued me a replacement and had it ordered in about 20 Minutes. Within that time I was emailed a packing slip and a shipping label to attach to the box. Amazon then arranged for UPS to come to my house and pick up the TV for return. This worked out great because Monday morning UPS delivered the replacement and picked up the damaged one. I mean honestly, what else could you ask for from a company that deals with online products, they go above and beyond what anyone else in the industry is doing and they truly strive to keep there customers happy and coming back. I will choose to deal with a company like Amazon who treats you like a valued customer rather than give my business to a circus like Walmart who makes you jump through every hoop possible when returning or replacing an item every time.I highly recommend this TV for anyone who is looking for a Mid Level priced LED TV that performs like the top classed models. This is a great choice if your not quite ready to spend the money to make the jump to 4K and I can't imagine the 60 or 65" TV's in this class perform any different.

Update: Bought a 65" Samsung UHD 7000 Series, which I put in the bedroom. Moved this TV out to the living room. It is still gorgeous, and people can't stop raving about the picture.Huge crystal clear picture. Bright and sharp. Bought this to replace a 51" Samsung I had in my bedroom. Fills my room with picture and sound. The smart function works perfectly. Now I have no need for any other machines in order to watch Netflix or Amazon. Nice feature. Very happy with this product. If you are going to spring for a TV this big, you're going to want to get a sound bar and sub-woofer as well. I purchased a Samsung sound bar to go along with this TV. The internal TV speakers work fine, but you won't get that big booming surround sound without an external speaker system. For price and quality, you can't beat Samsung. I won't buy any other. My old 51" Samsung is going on 7 years without a problem, and is now in my living room to replace an LG TV I had out there. I had a 51" LG, and the 4 HDMIs burned out within 3 yrs. I had a Vizio, which went to crap on day one, and if you ask me, Sony is just an expensive name. Nothing but Samsung from now on, as far as I'm concerned.

Great TV and great price. No issues other than the initial packaging resulted in the delivery of a new TV with a broken screen. Amazon was great about the return and shipping a second unit promptly.

Huge crystal clear picture. Bright and sharp. Bought this to replace a 51" Samsung I had in my bedroom. Fills my room with picture and sound. The smart function works perfectly. Now I have no need for any other machines in order to watch Netflix or Amazon. Nice feature. Very happy with this product. If you are going to spring for a TV this big, you're going to want to get a sound bar and sub-woofer as well. I purchased a Samsung sound bar to go along with this TV. The internal TV speakers work fine, but you won't get that big booming surround sound without an external speaker system. For price and quality, you can't beat Samsung. I won't buy any other. My old 51" Samsung is going on 7 years without a problem, and is now in my living room to replace an LG TV I had out there. I had a 51" LG, and the 4 HDMIs burned out within 3 yrs. I had a Vizio, which went to crap on day one, and if you ask me, Sony is just an expensive name. Nothing but Samsung from now on, as far as I'm concerned.

Works great with my new 70" Samsung 4K tv. Only reason for 4 stars insteadof 5 is that there are many choices for variety of inpur and woofer, treble, sound effects, etc that I haven't figured out yet. Also, it was a bit confusing for a 65 year old man to hook up, but I got it. Adds a new dimension to rhe small TV speakers.

I honestly can't complain. I have an older Samsung Plasma flatscreen TV that I've had for many years now and every once in awhile I would hear a weird noise coming from the speakers on the TV so I decided to take the pressure off of my TV and a sound bar is cheaper than surround sound. Plus small apartment. Easy set up, easy use, great sound, but in all honesty no different sounding than my TV itself. A little bit more dynamic maybe. But that is either due to the great quality of Samsung TVs or the lower quality of their Sound Bars. I'm an optimist so I'm going with great quality.

The sound bar Really projects the sound. It's a few feet in front of me but it sounds like it's right in my face.

The SUB woofer however is CRAP. I think it serves it purpose and produces the lows but it sucks for music. So I'm not reviewing it for that. But overall great set, and the wireless has to be the biggest plus. AWW man thiat is the best part.

5 Star Sound Bar, 1 star sub

Better than tv speakers but not like a huge upgrade. the compatibility with vizio tv was more complicated than I signed up for. it was not as simple as it sounded. Something about CEC setting on your tv then PCP vs bitstream. The soundbar worked with tv, but not dvd player and/or netflix "smart tv." So good luck to you all, I put it on bitstream and hdmi out on the soundbar and ARC on the tv. Not a huge upgrade but enough that its worth the purchase. The subwoofer not that powerful but makes a difference in overall sound.

Sounds great! Obviously a huge improvement from TV speakers. Sub gives the full spectrum one desires. Setup was easy. Used optical cable as I have multiple devices feeding into my TV and so it was the only option. Haven't noticed any issues with audio being out of sync. Didn't give 5 stars because when watching a movie with with loud and quiet moments it was inconsistent. Had to ride the volume at times watching Empire Strikes Back via Apple TV. Bluetooth connection with my iPhone is great for playing music which includes volume adjustment. Love that I have that control no matter where I am in my two story condo. Auto power feature is also a nice feature. I bought this because of the positive reviews. So I'm doing the same and so far very pleased.

Great TV, but as expected with just about any TV today the built in speakers are lacking in quality. These are acceptable, I am actually not running a separate sound bar/ surround sound and it doesn't sound horrible.

Setting up and connecting this was a breeze. This replaces my 32-in. "dumb" Samsung 720p TV, which has been relocated to my bedroom. My only con on this purchase goes to Amazon; otherwise I'd give it five stars: the price is kind of steep for a model that's two years old. It's a perfect fit for my entertainment center, and it works great with my existing Samsung soundbar and my Roku stick.

It's a perfectly good tv with nice picture quality, but my biggest qualm with it is that you have to wait something like a full minute after turning it on to go into the hub which gives you access to things like hbo go, netflix, etc. Not a huge deal, but for a smart tv that's the least smart feature about it.

This is probably as good as it gets relative to LED/LCD sets, looks good and is easy enough to set up.The color of course does not match my previous plasma screen or even come close. Luckily I watch football almost exclusively and that color is much better than general programming or DVD movies.The users 'guide' that came with the set is next to worthless. I have not yet viewed the 'on screen' version so I don't know if that is any better. It also did not come with any connecting cables (like for running audio out). I first set this up on January 22nd 2016.

The Samsung UN48J6200 Smart TV is a very nice quality TV. As others have stated, the internet and other functions are very slow and can take time to load especially if the TV is busy when just turned on. I have mostly used the Screen Sharing and Web Browser, I don't expect I will be using a mouse or keyboard with the TV. Navigation with the arrow keys is very slow. An old HP USB mouse I connected did show a connection, but didn't move the cursor. The User Manual and eManual could be better done. Not very in depth. The TV is very light weight and is smaller than the Sharp 46" it replaced. I do not use the other apps, so I don't know how well they function. I like the TV for the TV end of it.

I am a plasma guy, this replaced my old pioneer plasma hdtv. which was the best tv I have ever owned. This is in my bedroom, and happy with all the features and adjustments, nice picture that will do for where it is. Have a Panasonic 55, 3 D, PLASMA in my living room. Really too bad the Plasmas are no longer being made. Anyway this Samsung does a good job for basic viewing in the bedroom.

This is the 2nd unit I purchased in "Like-New" condition through Amazon Warehouse Deals due to a 20% off during their pre-Prime Day promotion. The 1st unit worked well with the exception of the sub-woofer which would intermittently shut off and come back on again. I contacted Samsung which help me troubleshoot the issue, all they did was assist with resetting the sub-woofer connection which did not help. I should add the unit was far from "Like-New" with blemishes, animal hair, and a couple of candy wrappers. I returned that one and the same day I re-ordered another "Like-New" unit since CS offered to discount another 20% due to the 1st unit being defective and since I've had good experiences with items being virtually new every time through warehouse deals. The 2nd unit arrived the very next and the soundbar itself looked new, with the exception of the sub-woofer and all the accessories that looked like it was re-packed in a rush. Low and behold, the sub did not work... not even intermittently. I went ahead and tried resetting the sub with virtually no difference. At this point I'm resigned to keep it since I need a good soundbar and it was priced very well. I'm going to file a claim with Samsung to see if they will repair/replace the sub.

I was somewhat disappointed in this sound bar's performance.I can barely hear the sub woofer(even after I adjusted the bass level and sub volume to the max level). The LG sound bar is much better quality. I have the samsung in a room half the size the LG is in. And the LG rocks the whole room with its sub woofer(you can't adjust the bass level on the LG and you don't need to).It's definitely worth the price difference. I purchased the Lg when it was on sale for $180. It was $280 at the time I purchased this Samsung($198). Based on the reviews, I thought this was a equal product. Boy was I wrong. Get the LG!!! You will be glad you did.

A much better option than the speakers provided on my TV, but I wouldn't say that this is the best I've ever heard. There is about a 2-4 second delay before the sound bar syncs up with the TV after using it for about a month, before that it synced up perfectly with no delay. Also there has been times when the sound would start glitching for no reason.

This is a pain to hook up frankly, and the directions are poor. I just wasn't in the mood to hook up a full on surround sound so I figured I would just get this. It works, but the sound is not all that great. If I had it to do over again, I would not bother with this thing.

This Sound-bar is not bad but doesn't look like 300W though. It definitely has a better sound than my Samsung UN50HU8550 4k TV but not as good as I expected. May be because sub-woofer is where it lacks the thump. It says it has 6 levels for sub-woofer but 1st 4 are useless. You don't feel that the sub-woofer is on. I have to always keep it at level 6 (top level) to enjoy movies.

My take --
Decent as an entry level sound-bar but could have been better mainly sub-woofer could have been made lot better.
But yes, very good in terms of compatibility with my tv. Automatically goes off when I switch off my tv, starts and connect automatically and quickly when I switch on the tv and can be operated with tv remote only. Full marks to Samsung there.

It is a TV. Because Samsung has not kept their apps up to date we cannot get MLB.com as of 2017,according to Comcast. BiG negative in our home. Samsung is cheap for a reason. Beware.

My parents weren't the most impressed with the picture. So we were going to return it but didn't want to pay the $200 to ship it back so they said it would make due. Picture is really not that bad, especially now that they finally upgraded to HD Satellite TV. Movies look fine too. Much better picture with HD. We don't use the smart features as they don't use the internet. Good price for this TV.

I would give the video 5 stars! The best video I've ever seen on a TV monitor! Audio gets 1 star - the worst audio quality I've ever heard from a TV monitor. I suppose I should get a home theater setup or soundbar to improve the audio but I may get a 4K-capable monitor before that to watch all the new 4K TV channels launching in North America and that 4K monitor may have better audio quality than this Samsung. The most annoying thing other than awful audio is a buzz or "machine gun" sound in the audio usually occurring once a day for 10 seconds before the TV monitor reboots itself. Sometimes that buzz in the audio happens multiple times per day or even hour and then it starts to get annoying that it can't display a signal without that issue. I keep checking for software updates hoping it's something that was found and fixed but nothing new since the day I installed my monitor. I have a feeling it's a firmware bug dealing with the ATSC tuner section since I haven't observed that audio buzz/reboot event happening (yet) when using composite or HDMI inputs.Edit: I've now observed the occasional buzz in the audio happening with the HDMI input also and not just the off-air tuner input. Sometimes it's even a "muting" of the audio for 10 seconds before the TV monitor reboots itself. There have been some days recently when it hasn't happened at all. Other days it's about once a day. When it's a really bad day, it has been observed as often as about every 10 minutes which makes watching a live sporting event or DVR recording very annoying when the tv monitor is rebooting that often.

Great picture. Sound adjustments far to minute with 100 clicks, meaning it takes too long to turn down meaningfully. Antenna connection takes a long time to load channels and the integrated channel guide.

The color on this TV is off. I don't know how to explain it, other than to say that no matter what the setting, it seems foggy or the faces seem washed out. It strains my eyes. It's terrible, compared to my last LG. Otherwise, the packaging was great, and the delivery was prompt.

The picture on the TV is great..... when it decides to work. I had the TV for 1 week. ONE WEEK and I started to have problems with it. Called Samsung once and it seemed to fix the first issue for a day or two. Called them back, seemed to fix the 2nd issue for about 3 days. 3rd issue was for a few hours and before I could call it led into the 4th issue. They finally agreed to Remote Assistance, make a long story short I was put on hold for Remote Assistance for at least 40 minutes. THEN DISCONNECTED! This happened 8 times and wasted about 7.5 hours of my time, I never was put in contact to resolve the issue. Their customer service is worse than worse and I still have a malfunctioning television. If I purchased this from a store it would def be returned.

Picture is absolutely fantastic never have had an issue with the frame rate or colors or light levels, the presets are great and I like the feature of being able to see the energy use which I think a lot of TVs have that but still pretty good. Also the sound is very acceptable as well which most TVs skimp on this I feel, BUT this is a smart TV and the smart parts of the TV happen to be terrible. I've used some streaming sticks that were roughly 30$ that worked flawlessly so I feel for the price of the TV a smooth smart feature is reasonable... especially since Samsung makes great phones it seems like they are just being lazy on this.

I like the sound bar. It worked pretty well for the most part. It was easy to set up. But I have a major problem with the quality. It stopped powering on completely after 1 year and not even 2 months. Of course the warranty was only 1 year. It's not like it suffered abuse of any kind, it sat on top of my media cabinet and was dusted regularly. I was a fan of Samsung products because I felt like they were quality. But not anymore. After letting them know of the problem, I thought they'd offer me an exchange or a free look at it, or maybe a discount on another. Nothing. They didn't offer me anything. So let this be a lesson to everyone, be cautious with purchasing this sound bar. Unless you like replacing sound bars every year. I guess maybe rich people wouldn't mind. I personally don't like spending $150 for something that lasts one year. 2 stars for working, and getting back to me in a reasonable amount of time to tell me that they won't help with their stupid, broken, inferior product. Cheers.

I bought this system trusting that Samsung products are reliable, but I was wrong. The soundbar works nicely, and it connects well to the subwoofer. However, as big as the subwoofer is, it should've been able to shake my small room at max capacity. It barely vibrates at all !!! Even though the subwoofer sucks, it's still makes the soundbar sound better if you use them together. My Logitech Speaker System Z323 with Subwoofer sound better than these two and it was way cheaper. I will be contacting Amazon/Samsung to see if I can exchange or return this item. Very disappointed.

I've always been very brand loyal to Samsung, so this was a disappointing review to write. I purchased this after a lot of research because it's a great price point and I've always liked the name. The installation wasn't too difficult, but admittedly took longer than I felt it should have for someone who knows what they're doing. The wireless sub connected effortlessly to the unit, which was helpful. Unfortunately, that's the only good thing I have to say about the sub. It was very weak, and with all the appropriate settings jacked to the max I still couldn't get it to be anything more than barely audible. I'm not expecting for it to sound like one of those cars going down the street with a 12" cannon in the back seat, but when a t-rex stomps his foot on the ground I want to feel it in my groin. I played around with the placement of the sub, understanding that can have a great affect on how the sound is reverberated... no luck. The sound bar itself was fine and easy to use. The HDMI (ARC) connection didn't sound nearly as good as the optical, so I didn't take advantage of the ability to sync the volume adjustments with the tv. In the end, i don't care about having an extra remote or any of the fancy bells and whistles. I only care about how it sounds, and this didn't meet my standards. I was disappointed enough that I returned it to Amazon, which I've typically never had to do with a large purchase that I thoroughly researched. I can't stay mad at you Samsung, you still make a fantastic tv.

I read a number of great reviews on this soundbar but I had to return it. My issues may have been linked to my cable provider but the reason I returned was as follows: I have Comcast, and there not a way to program their remote to the soundbar via the optical cable. It only works through the HDMI ARC port. I have a Samsung UHD TV, so the speaker and TV discovered each other immediately.

Next- very little sound from the sub woofer. Even watching a move. I was paired properly.

The biggest reason for the return was the sound from the speaker and what was on the screen were delayed. The soundbar has a nice feature to deal with this, but I could not just adjust it once and then that setting carryover, Nope every channel was different and I was a constant struggle. Even if you corrected the delay and then shut the tv off, the setting was not retained.

So back this went and I got a Yamaha YAS-105 which works very well

Setup was very easy. Soundbar had clear, defined sound with good options to modify to sports or cinema settings. Woofer had no punch at all and to get any "push" you had to crank the volume on the soundbar to uncomfortable volume levels to get even a little response from the woofer. Returned it.

10 months of owning this TV and 2 of the boards have gone out. So much time spent on the phone and getting the run around to take it to some wherehouse that doesn't have a phone to even call to verify to get serviced. So upset with all the run around I've gotten and no help in resolving getting it fixed or talking to someone at the location before I drive an hour to a wherehouse district to drop off a TV to a location I can't even get the right address for from customer service or a number to contact them at. Love the TV, hate that it's now half crapped out and not getting much resolution to fix it.

After turning on it takes 2 minutes or longer for SmartHub to work. Considering we are using this mostly for apps like Hulu and Netflix, this is a huge inconvenience. Additionally, the interface is not nearly as good as other Samsung Tvs. It's only partial screen and doesn't properly remember apps that are loaded like HBO Go. Going to buy an Apple TV to make it functional...

Is not what I waiting for the price...

Samsung is the only brand I purchase if I have a choice, but I regret getting this TV. The "Smart" features are extremely slow to turn on, sometimes taking up to 2 minutes for me to access them. The clarity is worse than my 8 year old Samsung TV, and while the refresh rate is good sometimes, it often freezes, goes blurry, gets pixelated and takes 15-20 second to clear up while watching sports. The refresh issue is not as bad on non sport shows but it still happens often and it never happened on my old TV. Even response to the remote control is extremely slow, so overall I am extremely disappointed and no longer have blind trust in the brand.

Great TV except the inability to watch Netflix without fighting with it every time. Would never have purchased had I known what I was in for. Too much trouble to return something this large with the packaging all over the place. Had to buy a Roku as a work-around. Should have purchased another Vizio - no more Samsung TVs for me. Search the web - you'll see what I ran in to. Their owner's manual even has a specific section on the problem. Which was no help. AND the problem is not unique to this model - Vizio likes to blame Netflix. Netflix blames Vizio, Since Netflix works on every other streaming device I own, Vizio seems to be the clear culprit. I tried all of the recommended solutions (DNS change, app reinstall, reboot, etc). You can beat it into submission if you work at it, but you have to do this every time you turn the TV on. This one issue would make me steer clear of Samsung in general due to their inability to get it right after getting it wrong for years.

Seems fine but my piece is not working correctly if I attach it with my laptop (HDMI cable) although with roku its working fine. If I attach laptop then its processing becomes slow like if I try to increase volume then it takes so much time to show volume control and increase volume very slowly which gives effect like its hanging.

This TV is not nearly as impressive as I expected it to be :( When I bought it, it was a 'suggested retail' of $500, which seems like a decent TV to me, especially with a brand name like Samsung rather than the other more unheard of brands that are selling TVs in this price range.

Pros: It was easy to set up, both physically assembling it as well as turning it on and connecting it to the internet, etc. It's light weight.

Cons:
- It doesn't have Spotify - wth?
- After you turn on the TV, you have to wait at least a few minutes before you can access the apps like Netflix, Hulu, etc. to actually watch anything (I'm using it purely for its smart tv capabilities, as I don't have cable or any live channels). So I find myself turning it on when I walk into a room, then doing something like washing dishes or making food or something while I wait for it to connect so I can watch something.
- When you plug something in through the USB (I had a movie on a flash drive that I wanted to watch), the volume is VERY quiet, so even if you have it turned allll the way up, it'll still be a little hard to hear for some people. I haven't tried HDMI yet to see if it's the same issue.
- The picture and sound quality are just meh. I definitely expected crisper picture. I understand you can hook up speakers, but the picture quality is what it is, and this is just average.

So basically this is a good TV for someone who doesn't really like TV. If you care at all about picture quality, better streaming options, etc., I'd spend a little more and you could probably get something much nicer. I feel like this is a very entry-level TV that I'm going to use for about 2 years and then want to replace with something better.

If I attach laptop then its processing becomes slow like if I try to increase volume then it takes so much time to show volume control and increase volume very slowly which gives effect like its hanging.

Worked great for 3 months and then the audio started to cut out intermittently. At first I thought is was the audio source (the TV or or cable box) but it does the same thing regardless of the input source or method of audio input (Bluetooth, HDMI, SoundConnect are the only ones I've tried). Now it does it all the time for 15-20 seconds at a time. Samsung tech support asks for the same information I already supplied and has not replied to me in the last 3 weeks. Save yourself the headache an go with a different brand (or go to Best Buy so you can return the heap of junk when it fails).

Extremely poor performance. Less than half the volume and fullness of sound than the 310 watt model (of which I have 2). The only stated difference is that this subwoofer has 140 w of power, while the 310 watt model's subwoofer has 150w, but the difference is HUGE, believe me! I would go with another model. Avoid this one or you'll regret it.

My speakers were old. Loved replacing them with a slim sleak look. The sound quality is not great. Cannot get the words and lips to sinc. Maybe a more expensive version would work better but would not recommend these.

I was very disappointed with the sound on these speakers. The subwoofer is barely audible. I don't want my bass rattling the windows or shaking my couch, but it should at least be moderately audible. Unfortunately there's no way to adjust gain or crossover. There isn't even an on/off switch. Plugging it in turns it on (assuming the soundbar is on). I have these hooked up to a Samsung 60" 6500 series TV via Samsung's SoundConnect wireless connectivity. The stadium sound setting on the TV is actually much better than the same setting on the soundbar. I've tried tweaking the setting, but overall I'm very dissatisfied with the sound quality of the J450 speakers.

The equipment didn't work. the sound was very weak almost non hearable. I returned equipment for credit to my account. I have not received credit for the return.

This review is after using the TV for less than 18 months.Worked fine till last month , but after less than 1 1/2 year of usage, has broken down.Samsung Customer care absolutely difficult to reach for any repairs. I even raised a query via Amazon and have not received any response. I am not sure how a TV with all the "SMARTs" it has, that too from a well known brand,, can conk off in such a short time period..Looks like i would be buying a new TV and that definitely would not be Samsung.

Every time you try to access smarthub for netflix or any other app it gives you an error and says preparing the tv. Takes a good 15 minutes sometimes just to get in

Product was defective, screen had hige blue color patch in the middle extending the whole height of the tv. Had to return it. Aweful experience.

My last tv was a samsung, and it was great. Thought it was time to upgrade to a bigger one and the price was right on black Friday. This one seemed good, but it sucks. As others have stated, the integrated smart tv features are very slow/sluggish and worse, there is a hazy cloud on the screen (visible whenever a show fades to black or something is loading). I had amazon replace the first one that I ordered and the second one has the same problem (just got it today). I'll be returning it and getting something else. Very upset.

Television stopped working about 1 week after purchasing. I'm not sure if this due to shipping handling or I just had the bad luck of receiving a defective tv.

The current one is the second of two purchased. The first was so poorly packaged that it arrived with the screen actually broken in half and glass falling out of it. Amazon did a remarkable job of replacing in having the replacement here in three days, exceptional! The second one worked well enough for about four weeks and then the "smart" portion of the set quit working. I know it's the set because I have a Amazon Fire connected and it works wirelessly wonderfully well. After an extended phone call to Samsung about the problem and when I was threatened with a $55.00 service charge I decided it wasn't worth the trouble and decided to forget it. I am deeply disappointed in Samsung! I have been using their products for years and always admired the quality and reliability of their products.

Smart functions do not work. Cannot stream Netflix from it. Constant problems with my chromestick. Highly regret this purchase

This product is absolutely a very poor product to be sold by Amazon. None of the so-called smart features work properly. Even the volume, source, power features only work occasionly. I purchased the set to replace an older Samsung smart TV with a smaller screen (it works fine.

Samsung provided very poor support, responding after 24 hours after I contacted and then were of no help. I highly recommend you stay away from this manufacturer. I truly regret my purchase.
