Superb performance
July 24, 2016
We replaced a Sony 32" Bravia (720p) that cost over $ 700.00 six or seven years ago. This TV weighs maybe 15 lb. compared to the Sony which was 50 lb. or more. The Samsung has a better picture, built in WiFi, and reasonably good sound. The picture quality is excellent and the colors are vibrant and lifelike. In my experience Samsung makes excellent products which are durable as well. My only complaint is the stand (?) that is supplied. There are two silver colored plastic "feet" that screw into the bottom of the TV. They are designed so that they can only be mounted one way, and as a result they actually extend beyond the edges of the TV screen, causing you to need a very wide mounting platform (more than the 29" width of the TV). You would need a table top at least 32" wide to stand this TV on. We wall mounted ours, so that was not a problem, but be aware that you need a wide space to stand it on. Also, as light as the TV is, tipping or knocking it over could be a problem with big pets or little kids. The mounting feet give NO stability at all. Samsung should modify the stand to fit under the center of the TV and be larger to give the TV more stability and a smaller footprint on a table. The WiFi works very well, but the input thru the supplied remote is slow and tiresome. Be sure to Bookmark your favorite websites to cut down on the time required to input web addresses. Otherwise we are VERY happy with the TV and are glad we have it.
I love the size of this tv
March 2, 2016
Before I bought this tv, i did lots of research to see what would be the right tv for me and for the right price. I love the size of this tv, it allows me to watch with great quality. I also love the smart tv aspect of it, i am able to binge watch all of my netflix shows, and I can also downloads 'apps' like pandora and the game snake. i would highly recommend this tv for someone else
Good buy for our bedroom! Beautiful Picture!
December 27, 2015
Love it for the price. Stunningly crisp picture. Use for bedroom and even the sound is good for movies and gaming. My husband uses it for his PS4 but uses a cable as he says it doesn't lag for certain games. Note you can't use Apple TV with it or use Apple AirPlay. However it has Netflix, YouTube, HBO Go and Amazon in the app section plus others ...which for our bedroom is fine. I think it functions with the Android but read specs. No lag at all in streaming videos from any sites so far. You have to get used to the arrow pointer without a mouse but once you get the feel it isn't a problem. Since We are a primarily an apple family probably wouldn't use for main TV in media room but that is just a personal preference.
Smart TV is a GREAT Choice!
December 10, 2015
This was a great price and I'm very, very happy with my decision to purchase a smart TV. If you're on the fence, spend the extra dollars for the smart hub. You will not be sorry. The options to watch Amazon Prime TV shows and movies as I am a prime customer are wonderful and you also get Netflix and internet browser. I'm thrilled with my purchase!
The TV is supported just fine. Switching between cable/netfix/hulu/and internet is a breeze.
May 25, 2015
I bought this TV before there was any feedback and found the negative feedback before it was delivered. I must admit that, based on the prior feedback, I was concerned about the feet as I tried to assemble the TV. They seemed very flimsy, at first. However, it was not until I had fully screwed in the feet that I realized they were more than ample to support the television. In fact, the TV is quite secure. Yes, the feet are plastic, but the TV is very light and it does not require very much support at all. The picture is perfect. The sound quality is great. I am delighted with how easy it is to navigate between cable/netflix/hulu/internet. It was a great buy and I am very pleased.

Additionally, be smart and don't be influenced by reviews from people who are not "verified" purchasers of the product.

Good TV For The Price
April 25, 2017
So far so good. I think its a great picture and TV for the price. My only two beefs with it are this. 1st the legs are plastic and feel like they could break at any moment when your moving it. 2nd when you first turn it on, you have to wait 2-4 minutes roughly for the internet connection. This is a small beef but still a little frustrating when I just want to turn it on and get it going, I guess am a little impatient.
Great tv, slow initial connection to wifi, but great tv
October 28, 2016
First the bad. The only reason this tv didn't get 5 stars was because of how long it takes to connect to the internet. If we want to watch Youtube, Netflix or Amazon prime we turn on the tv, go do something for 5 minutes then come back and its connected. I am not kidding, my 14400 modem could connect to the internet quicker. I have never seen a device take so long to connect to the internet.

The picture quality is great, no complaints with any type of movie. We love how clear and sharp it is.

I would recommend you get a tv that you can connect a blue tooth keyboard. IT would make this tv great!
Very good TV.
September 26, 2016
I really like this TV. Good picture and the built in sound is better than most but I still run in through my stereo system most of the time. The smart TV hub us a little clunky to navigate and slow but works. It did not have an app for Amazon Prime music so I also purchased an Amazon TV stick so I could get that. In getting the stick I use is most of the time as it is faster than the TV's "smart" hub. Over all I am very happy with the purchase and would recommend it.
Great TV with excellent picture and perfect size for my side desk...
June 27, 2016
Great TV with excellent picture and perfect size for my side desk. Setup is easy and painless. Just plug in the Ethernet cable and follow the instructions onscreen. Has 2 HDMI and 1 Component inputs, which is more than enough for my Android TV box and cable box.

Smart TV function has plenty of apps, including Youtube, Nextflix, Hulu, Amazon Video Prime, and many other apps. As a matter of fact, I'm a bit surprised to see so many apps available, although I'm sure I will probably just use a few of the most popular ones, ever.

Remote control is not a traditionally big remote but rather petite in size. Plenty of options and it's rather intuitive. I have absolutely no problem with it and after popping in the included batteries, it worked right out of the box. The TV is very responsive with the remote, switch between Smart Hub and TV is very quick, almost no wait time. As a matter of fact, if you mistake Return with Exit key, you will be kicked out of Netflix back to TV mode instead of just one screen back. Takes a bit of getting used to but not out of this world difficult.

The only reason for this deduction is the 2 silver legs that came with the TV as "stand". These sorry excuse of a stand is made with plastic, not at all sturdy, but since the TV is extremely light, I guess it is just enough. I would prefer a bit more weight for stability, but then again Samsung decided to go in another direction, but it is my primary reason for giving it only 4 stars.

All in all I am satisfied with the TV. It is meant as a second screen for my array of screens and for that purpose, it is doing a superb job.

February 18, 2016
So far so good! I like the features of the TV and it was pretty decently priced for the size. Only small complaint is the sound isn't as loud as what my old TV was.....I'm sure you could solve that problem easily with a sound bar or speakers but for us, that isn't an option right now due to finances. Overall a great TV
BEWARE OF MISSING AUDIO OUTPUT JACKS
January 23, 2016
Being hearing impaired and using wireless earphones I was disappointed to find that
Samsung was too cheap to keep the RCA audio output jacks on this model. Now I have to buy separate speakers and a digital audio toslink cable and receiver to get my earphones working. The TV does not allow the internal speakers to work in conjunction with the digital audio output. I'ts either 1 or the other.Just a bit stupid as far as engineering goes. One thing is picture quality is great but I'll be sure next time to check the outout ports.

I HAVE SEEN GOD.
September 1, 2014
I didn't hesitate for a second before ordering this TV. Clearly this is something I had to have and that it would make my life complete. I plugged it in and the television looked Amazing. I started channel surfing and ended up on a Religious themed channel. Then GOD appeared. His vision was awe inspiring and I immediately fell down upon my knees. It was the most important moment of my life.Of course GOD did call me a self-centered materialistic ego-manic for purchasing this TV. HE said, "Couldn't you have gotten that 84" inch TV for $17,000 and given some money to help the less poor, sick, or homeless? Or maybe not upgrade your TV at all and go out for a walk sometime, that's in the highest resolution possible! I can't believe the latest generation of humans. You have every ----"GOD's nagging was starting to get on my nerves so I changed the channel. The TV changed my life, and I got to see GOD, but he kind of got on my nerves.Five stars for the TV, but minus one star for a whiny creator.

August 31, 2014
Pros: Just big enough, moderately priced, great for gaming.Cons: Screen gets so true to black that police shoot at it for no reason.
Finally
April 16, 2014
I have finally done it! Myself, my wife and my kids finally drank enough soft drinks out of aluminum cans so that I could turn them in and get $45K! My kids are no longer very mobile so this TV has been heaven sent for them. At 5 years old, my oldest daughter really enjoyed watching "Frozen" for the 87th time with perfect quality on this giant television. My 3 year old son loves seeing Rescue Bots that are big enough so that his fat tail could actually fit in them. And my 1 year old boy doesn't really understand yet, but he loves it when his siblings roll him in front of the TV so that he can enjoy "The Walking Dead". Your kids don't truly understand zombies until they see them at 5 feet tall. And the season finale of "Breaking Bad"? Don't even get me started on the shoot out scene. My whole family rolled ourselves all the way back to the bedroom in order to take cover!And the timing worked out perfectly as we are now too large to get up and put the cans in the recycling bin. I'm just glad that as a "Prime" member, that I am able to get Amazon to deliver food and soft drinks to our front door so none of us ever have to get up at all.This is the best purchase I have ever made.I would have given it 5 stars, but the remote came with some cheap batteries. You would think that after paying $40K for a TV, they could at least given me some "Energizer" or "Duracell" batteries.

Not worth it, even for the price
June 26, 2017
I would not recommend buying this Samsung Smart TV. You come out so much better just buying a good quality flat screen and then purchasing an Amazon Fire TV or Fire Stick for your streaming. Samsung limits you to their app store which is minuscule compared to Amazon's. My TV also came pre-loaded with HBO Go but the app doesn't work. I contacted both HBO and Samsung and they blamed it on one another. I finally just hooked a Fire TV up to this Samsung so that I could stream anything my heart desired.
TV is OK. You'd be better off getting a Fire Stick than using the smarts of this TV
September 19, 2016
I very rarely post reviews, and rarely so soon after using a product (just used it for a few hours today) but I thought I'd at least make a note of my thoughts over time.

The set up was pretty smooth, and since I don't have an aerial I went straight to the smart apps. I was able to get Netflix up and running pretty promptly, although the Netflix app was fairly sluggish. I managed to watch an episode without a hitch. Picture quality is pretty good, but the text is not extremely sharp. As I say in the headline of the review though, the Smart TV experience was disappointing as I expected it to work a bit more smoothly than a Fire TV stick I bought a few years ago, which it doesn't.

I was very disappointed with the YouTube app though - it didn't work at all on the first boot. After I restarted the TV it worked, but I couldn't stream from my device, so this was disappointing.

More to follow, especially with my experience of using it as a monitor for my macbook pro
Slow to launch applications!
April 25, 2016
As with many other users, I have been experiencing a 'slow' TV. My allegiance to this brand stemmed from our recent purchase of a larger, albeit more expensive, model for our family room. The larger model works very well and has a very reasonable response time when powering on (~5 seconds to launch an app), but this smaller model seems VERY slow to process anything within the first 1-2 minutes of power up. Our intention when purchasing this TV was to place it in our children's playroom and use it's 'SmartHub' feature to connect to our favorite shows via Netflix, Hulu, etc. We do NOT have it hooked up to cable, satellite, or antenna. It's sole purpose is to connect to Wi-Fi! When starting the TV, the common static appears along with the channel. Once you attempt to select an app through the SmartHub, it states "Preparing TV. Please try again later". This message continues to occur regardless of the app selected for a time that is very unreasonable (over 1 minute). You have to sit there, staring at static... Because of our situation (no cable), I would consider this a poor purchase for anyone who wished to use it as we intended.
Great TV, Bad Smart Features
January 17, 2016
I have owned and used this TV for about a month now. The picture and sound quality are very good, and overall it is an attractive unit. It was easy to install (I wall-mounted it; it's very lightweight) and set up. Best of all it was an excellent value. I would rate the TV itself 5/5.

However, the SmartHub features are almost useless. It takes a long time for the SmartHub to open, and it was impossible to stream Netflix—the video buffered every few seconds, and never fully loaded. It was impossible to watch video. When I exited Netflix, the TV would become unresponsive to the remote and took a long time to turn off. After troubleshooting, it was obvious that the problem was with the TV and not Netflix or my internet service. This is a known problem with these units, and another reviewer on Amazon offered a solution—to disable the security feature on the TV, and auto updates for the apps. This allowed video to quickly load and play, but it had to be done every time before watching videos. My solution was to invest in a Google Chromecast, which I absolutely love. It works so much better than SmartHub, and I like to use my phone or tablet as the remote.

Between the excellent TV and horrible smart features, I would give this TV a 3/5. If you're willing to purchase Chromecast or a similar device, I recommend it, but if you want to use the smart features right out of the box, consider a different unit.
Not a bad TV.. Great for the price.
January 5, 2016
Overall I like it. I does have all the smart TV features I wanted. What I don't like though is something that seems almost unbelievable to me. You can't to a free text search in their app store. So you have to scroll around the categories to try and find an app. What's also frustrating, is the smart hub is not very intuitive. Picture is great.. the small-ish border is nice, sound is ok. It does have netflix, amazon prime, hbo go, hulu, youtube. I probably would have gotten an LG had I not heard about Samsung's interface being good. Which it's not great in my opinion.
Smart Security Feature Not So Smart, Cripples TV
December 28, 2015
I would have rated this TV 5 stars, however it took two hours to get the Netflix app to work without constantly freezing and locking up the TV's OS.

Symptoms we experienced: Launching Netflix and attempting to watch a show would cause the show to repeatedly buffer and get stuck at 99%. After this occurs, the TV's OS becomes incredibly sluggish and it becomes nearly unresponsive, forcing a full reboot of the TV.

Disabling "Smart Security" feature completely resolves this issue, and gets rid of the sluggishness and freezing experienced within the TV's OS. We also disabled auto-update as we saw this was recommended by other owners as a potential fix.

To disable Smart Security: Menu button on Remote> System > Smart Security > Off

Pros:
TV is incredibly light and thin.
Picture quality is great.
Once Smart Security is disabled, navigating the menu and apps are responsive and quick.
Easy to use.
Price

Cons:
TV is not ready to use "Out of the box".
Smart Security feature completely cripples the TV and makes it unusable with built-in default apps.

3/5 stars. 5/5 once the Smart Security feature is disabled.

Samsung UN85S9 Framed 85-Inch 4K Ultra HD 120Hz 3D Smart LED TV Review by Dad's Gaming Addiction
October 21, 2015
1,200 trips to the sperm bank and 175 clinical research trials later, I was able to afford this television. Normally I wouldn't splurge on such a beast, but the delivery was free. I know a good deal when I see one. I WAS going to put my son through college, but watching documentaries on Netflix is basically the same thing. Anyway, I hooked up my GPX Wall Mountable $40 sound system that I got at Walmart (who would pay thousands of dollars for a sound system?) and we were good to go. There was also an option to have my television professionally mounted for $188, but it already HAS a frame! How hard is it to balance the thing on a nail in the wall? What kind of shenanigans is Amazon trying to pull here?The experimental pills I'm taking for the above mentioned clinical trials sort of blur my vision making watching this television difficult, though readers will be pleased to know that these things cured my constipation...though that's a whole separate review. As for the television itself, I thought it would be a good substitute for Frank's 2,000 inch TV but unfortunately, I couldn't watch the Simpsons from 30 blocks away. What a lucky guy, I hear he got the last one in stock. For this, I'm only giving this television three stars.10/10 would stare at Robert De Niro's mole again.

This is actually an 85-inch class tv. Technically it's only 84.5 inches. Returning this tomorrow.
Too small
January 27, 2014
The black levels and color depth on this TV are pretty good for the price. However, the small screen size is a deal breaker. I recommend buying an IMAX theater instead.

Take my advice and shop around, people. I bought a twelve-pack of these at Costco and saved a hundred grand.

Not So Smart Purchase.
December 14, 2015
If you are getting this as simply a TV the setup and display runs well although it does truncate some images. If you are getting this as a web enabled TV. Look for another TV. The user interface l is not very intuitive and things are hidden. Just try loading an app. The screen keyboard and moving arrow takes a little getting used to and you may even get to a word a minute. The support pages are just as cumbersome . Very aggrevating even if you just need a simple answer.
not the quality i expect from samsung
December 8, 2015
not bad for price, but speakers have slight vibration at mid- high volume. the netflix app doesnt always open. sometimes have to open browser then netflix. also samsung smart tvs have issues with vevo app fully functioning. outside of these its not a bad product.

update: i removed the rca cords so i can wall mount it. the video prong came right off with the cord. hdmi is my only option now. i was switching to it anyway or else i would've returned it. i love samsung, but they are eing made cheaper every day.
Extremely s..l....o......w TV
November 21, 2015
[Final update: read to bottom to see how I "fixed" this problem, because Samsung wouldn't.]I've had (and still have) several other Samsung TVs, and have liked them. This one has the same good picture quality as my previous units, but I must say that it is the least satisfying TV that I have ever owned. Why? Because it is ...... slow.How can a TV be slow?* It's slow to turn on. Remember picture tube TVs that used to take time to warm up? Not quite that bad, but takes time.* It's slow to change channels. You press a button on the remote and then wonder if the TV heard you, or not. Eventually it responds, but you are not sure if and when it will do that.* The "Smart TV" feature is *excruciatingly* slow. Many times when trying to start viewing Netflix, this TV will put a pop-up on the screen that says "Preparing TV". This goes on and on. Even that might not be so bad if it automatically started Netflix once the "preparing" was done, but it doesn't work that way - you have to just keep trying until the pop-up doesn't appear. And then wait ... for ... Netflix ... to ... start.* But WORST of all, once the TV has been "prepared" for watching Netflix, it will go into an endless cycle of showing a few seconds of a show, then freeze while a spinning counter slowly goes up to 100%, shows a few more seconds, then repeats. Again, the only solution seems to be turning the unit off then on again and try one more time.This TV is just like having a big, bright monitor that is hooked to an old, really slow computer - that needs to be re-booted over and over again to correct problems.Very, very disappointing![Update 12/29/15]:Several people have reported that they have "fixed" this problem by doing various things like waiting for all software updates to be downloaded or by turning security options off. My TV is at the latest available software version, and I've tried making all of the changes that others have suggested - but none of the fixes work very long, and then it's back to the same maddening behavior.I do appreciate the various suggestions and reports of apparent success, and I keep hoping that a real solution will emerge (Samsung, are you listening???). But I have found that there are things that you can do, or specific sequences of operations, that *appear* to fix the problem. But then try again later, and the problems are still there. I have been down that path many times.One interesting thing I have found:Sometimes Netflix will play reliably if I let it "auto-play" a program from the beginning. By this I mean that I did not press any button to have the program start playing (it seems to start playing automatically after the menu is displayed a few seconds), and I was not trying to resume an episode that I had watched part of earlier. That is great, but just too complicated. I shouldn't have to do that. And it doesn't work all the time. But what this does suggest is that it IS possible for Netflix to work on this TV under the right conditions, if only Samsung would fix this.I keep hoping that someone (Samsung would be the obvious source) will come up with a solution for this whole problem.[Update 1/2/2016]:The Netflix issue with this TV is a serious problem that needs urgent attention from Samsung. It is affecting many people. As of this writing, there 691 reviews of this TV here on Amazon, of which 98 have reported the same or similar issues with unacceptable slowness or constant buffering that makes Netflix unwatchable. So if you have this issue, you are not suffering alone.This TV also has a suspiciously large number of 5-star reviews that say nothing more than things like: "it is great," "cool," "working good" [sic], "excellent," - many of which are concentrated on a few certain days, so will leave it to others to decide if the large number 5-star reviews are the result of any ballot box stuffing to improve the overall rating.I would have returned this TV by now if I hadn't recycled the box it came in. Lacking that alternative, it looks like the only way I will be able watch Netflix on this TV without going crazy is to buy a Roku stick to provide Netflix access.Samsung is a well-known global company. If they truly cared for their customers and their reputation, I would expect them to: A) make a reassuring statement here (because someone representing Samsung has answered a number of the questions about this TV), and B) deliver a fix for the problem. But so far, we have seen neither.[Update 1/22/2016]:Having suffered with the maddening slowness along with an unusable Netflix application that Samsung still has not fixed, I took action on my own that finally allows me to watch Netflix reliably and pleasurably on this TV.The solution is to buy a Roku 3500R Streaming Stick (HDMI) which plugs into one of the HDMI outlets on the back of the TV. Like all Roku devices, it provides a user experience that is far better than Samsung's "smart" feature. I also added a TVPower Mini USB Cable for Powering Roku Streaming Stick for a very tidy installation.The only downsides to this solution are having to spend an additional 50 bucks to provide what I thought I was getting with the "Smart" TV, plus having an additional remote (although the Roku allows you to set up your smartphone as a remote).

WARNING: Be careful how you fund this TV!
September 4, 2014
WARNING: Be careful how you fund this TV. I figured if I stole it and got caught, they'd at least let me take the TV with me to the prison. I'd be the most popular guy in Cell Block D if everyone was able to watch the girl-on-girl action in "Orange is the New Black" in 85" Ultra HD. Well, I messed up. I did get caught. The TV didn't come with. On the plus side, I'm still the most popular guy in Cell Block D, but for entirely different reasons.
Interferes with space/time continuum
June 14, 2014
First off, the TV itself is great. Believe the hype. It's huge and the picture is absolutely stunning--just like real life.Therein lies the problem though...I'm not a particle physicist, but it appears that the crispness of this TV seems to have surpassed some sort of critical threshold in which the images are no longer mere images, but display many of the properties of the actual objects being represented. I don't know if this has something to do with the subatomic particles within the pixels themselves or what, but it's quite a strange phenomenonThis was all harmless at first. Snowflakes falling off the TV when watching Frozen was charming enough. Water spraying from the screen when watching Jaws was neat too. But when my wife and I were watching a Beyond the Wormhole episode about black holes, and they showed an image of one on the screen, all of a sudden the room started to swirl around. At first we thought that this because we had a few too many drinks, but the spinning continued to accelerate until the walls of our home, household objects, and we were all all being sucked into the super-massive black hole that was being displayed on our TV.I can't say exactly what happened after that because we both blacked out. But when we awoke we found ourselves in what we assume is some sort of parallel universe or alternate dimension. I won't bore you with all of the ways that our lives now suck due to this terrible world we inhabit (think Planet of the Apes meets Alien vs. Predator, where we're the only two humans), but suffice to say that there is no internet here*, no streaming video services of any kind, let alone 4K-quality, no hi-fi sound systems or immersive audio/visual experiences of any kind. Hell, there are no TVs at all, just a bunch of terrible alien monsters running around destroying each other.So to summarize, we were very impressed with this TV but for $40 grand, we really expected to be able to enjoy it for a longer period of time before being sucked into a hellish parallel universe.*how am I writing this review? While our new universe has no internet, it is covered by Verizon's amazing 4G network. My smartphone still has a little battery life left, and before it dies and we lose all contact with our former world for the rest of our now-miserable lives, we thought we should write this review and warn our human brethren not to watch Discovery Channel on this TV. But again, for any other type of program: highly recommended.
BUYER BEWARE!!!!!

Only comes with 2 AA batteries!!!!! The last time I spent 40 grand for a TV it came with 4. RIP OFF!!!!
Poor build quality
January 27, 2014
I bought this unit, but returned it as I was deeply disappointed when I discovered that the power cord casing is made of plastic. PLASTIC! For this kind of scratch, I expect the power cord's covering to be hand-woven of silk and gold threads. On top of that, the box that it shipped in was made of cardboard and styrofoam - unbelievable! It should be packaged in the wood from old growth trees and the fur of endangered animals!To make matters worse, by selling this product on Amazon.com instead of through exclusive dealer channels, Samsung is making this item available to literally any commoner that has at least a $40,000 credit card limit. Really, that make this a very pedestrian, non-exclusive offering. How dripping with ordinary!Many people have worked very hard for me to have as much money as I have (not me, of course), so I deserve the very best that a lot of money can buy, and this product just does not measure up. Samsung should be ashamed!Note: I gave it two stars instead of just one because my selfies look fabulous on it.

Aspect ratio while streaming poor and seemingly unfixable
July 19, 2016
So far I can't give this more than one star. We don't have cable, antenna, or dish. Just streaming and sling TV. Everything looks great until we go to stream a show and then the aspect ratio is a tiny cube in the lower left hand corner. When going into the menu and trying to fix the picture ratio, it says "it's not an option." We've done all the troubleshooting in the manual including resetting to factory settings, updating to the newest software, changing the DLS to the correct number and it still doesn't work. My boyfriend is so upset he can't speak right now. For $300 this is proving to be one of the worst buys we've ever done.

I would gladly update this review if there were a way to fix the problem, otherwise I'm sending this right back and expecting a full refund.

Pros:
- Nice tv picture quality. That's where it ends.

Cons:
- Significant delay with basic tv/remote functions including power, volume, menu settings
- Volume had to be up to 80 (?!) to be able to hear throughout the room
- SmartTV took a good 5 minutes to connect to the internet, so don't plan on streaming anything right after turning on. Would get the message "Preparing TV check back later"
- Netflix and other apps were constantly crashing the Smart TV software in the middle of a show (software was up to date)
- Significant remote delays in all Smart TV functions - trying to get back to the menu, in between shows, pausing shows, etc.
- The glossy frame created circular patterns of dust, very noticeable, even wiping off daily - very annoying and unattractive
This was a great TV, for 2 days after it was opened
December 29, 2015
This was a great TV, for 2 days after it was opened. It then decided to fail spectacularly and began bleeding colors in the form of vertical colored green, blue, red, and white lines.. I ordered a replacement and am crossing my fingers this doesn't happen again after the warranty period is done. The smart tv features were a little slow but they worked and the picture was pretty good. But this 1 star review will remain until I get a replacement and it prooves to me that it can work for a month or two.

My 50 inch samsung plasma tv is 5.5 years old and still going strong and this one lasted only 48 hours. Disappointed.
Very disappointed and will have to wait another two weeks for ...
December 9, 2015
I've been waiting for the TV for weeks. It finally arrived and item is defective. It repeatedly turns on and off. Called customer service and told there's nothing they can do and to have it replaced. I looked online and it's a common problem. Had I known, I would have NEVER bought from Samsung. Very disappointed and will have to wait another two weeks for the replacement and hope that it's not defective out of the box again. If it is, I will simply request a refund and spend my money elsewhere. Buyer beware.

Unhappy with Purchase
January 29, 2016
I purchased this television because owning 84 inch television is for peasants. I had to go bigger. My first complaint is that I did not get my TV the day they predicted. It arrived three days later. I simply could not afford the express shipping.Second complaint, I attempted to mount it on the wall. The side of the house is destroyed. I don't have the funds to fix it. I put up a plastic tarp to keep the mosquitoes away.Third, your TV was supposed to make us happy. This product disappointed my wife and made her angry with me, to the point it made her mute. And I agree with her, the resolution of the product is rather pedantic.Lastly, this television is the reason for my neighbor's death. I was watching a documentary in which demonstrated the art of conception. The sound was turned up a little higher than usual, which concerned my neighbor. The little old lady, God rest her soul, knocked on my door and I could not hear it. Worried, she let herself in through the hole on the side of the house, and to her dismay, a certain male organ filled the 98 inch screen, causing her to have a massive heart attack. Rest in peace, Agnes.
Big Mistake!
November 29, 2015
It happened. I accidentally hit the 1-Click button and now I have a $40,000 tv. My entire life savings is gone, and it gets so much worse! The delivery men put the tv outside of my front door and it is too heavy for me to move, now I cannot escape from my apartment. Worse, because I have no money left my power and cell phone was cut off so I cannot call for help or even use my tv. If I make it out before I run out of food and water (unlikely) I am taking this up with Amazon customer service! The 1-Click button is dangerous.

Much too big. When they show a World Vision commercial, the flies on the children's faces are the size of chihuahuas.
Second Class Loser TV
September 1, 2014
Only a C-class Mercedes owner would even *consider* this TV when you can get the 110 inch Samsung UN110S9V Frameless 110-Inch 4K Ultra HD 120Hz Smart LED TV for 149,999.99! What a bunch of losers!
Too big
January 27, 2014
Asolutely worthless for watching midget porn. They all look normal size. And the remote control by hand gesture feature has some serious drawbacks...
So sad
December 3, 2013
It makes those abused animal commercials with the sarah mclachlan music playing so much sadder when the one-eyed pug is 4 feet tall.
