Great reliable TV – I brought the TV at sale price 2017, run out model, it has worked brilliantly ever since. No problem at all and the picture quality is still great. Just getting to the stage of upgrading to the new oled TV’s, this will go into a spare room but very happy with the purchase. Show details · 1
Great TV for the price – I've had this TV for about 7 years now and it's still working perfectly. I've bought a new Samsung QLED and about to move the older one it to a holiday rental. Show details · 1
White Circles on screen - a photo – I see another reviewer has commented on white circles appearing on the screen. My TV has done exactly the same thing. Its not that old. This should not be happening Samsung. You need to fix the problem. It seems to be quite widespread. Is Samsung prepared to state on this website that it will repair at no cost its TV's that develop those white circles? I doubt it. I'll be buying something other than Samsung next time.

Features no longer available not so Smart – I really like this tv. It’ has a great quality picture. I’ve had it for years, however, features I was once able to use are just no longer available. For example, I was able to cast to my tv from my phone. Now my iPhone is no longer compatible. Bluetooth is no longer a feature, which I’m super annoyed about. I was once able to connect to… Read more
Bluetooth on it via my phone. It was an option on my bluetooth list of devices. Some sort of update has occurred and now I’m now being told my tv doesn’t come with Bluetooth… can I ask how this so called smart tv actually got dumber? I want to be able to connect my wireless headphones, yet am not able and I just find this really frustrating. Also am not able to access certain apps on this particular model. I have another tv of the same brand, just a different model and have all the apps. Why is it different from model to model. Shouldn’t it be the same access for all apps on all Samsung smart TVs ? Please help me access wireless function. Surely there’s a way!!!
Best TV I've ever had – This TV has been an absolute delight. It has a great Tizen powered smart HUB with everything from Stan, Netflix, and Foxtel to Amazon Prime, Tubi and Google Play Movies & TV. So you're spoiled for choice for movies and shows. The TV even allows recording regular TV to USB devices with the ability to even schedule recordings based on series. It… Read more
even has a dual-tuner so you can still watch a different channel while recording your TV shows. The picture quality is really good and really noticeable when playing the latest games. The input lag is also low when in game mode making this a great choice for gamers. It doesn't just look good though, it also has great soundbar support through HDMI ARC with support for both Dolby and DTS standards or can even up-mix stereo to surround with DTS Neo2:5. It also offers a wealth of settings for both picture and sound so you can tune it to perfectly match what you want from it. To top all this off, it even powers on and off super quickly. This really is my TV of choice.
Another excellent Samsung TV – I bought this through a Choice recommendation. In the shop it looked like the Panasonic beside it was better, but it may have been set up differently so did not want to be led astray by the subjectivity of a shop experience. The technical testing of Choice is always the best thing to fall back on. I am glad I stayed with the facts rather than… Read more
the feelings. Now it is set up at home I'm happy with the picture and features in general. In some ways I'm a little overwhelmed by all it can do. It can be hard to find the time to really look at all the possibilities. I know it can save programmes to a USB stick but find it is rather fiddly to do. You really need to be a dedicated TV freak to have the time to really get the most out of what this TV can do. The speakers are fine. I'm happy with the available ports, but I'm not connecting it to a stereo or other media items, except for the wifi for catchup applications. The catchup system works well I do have to say.

Good TV I have found – Bought my samsung tv new and have had it ever since, so has lasted a long time . Good picture and I find it really good, only thing missing on it is the 3.5mm audio connection , so cannot plug earphone in. Otherwise perfect thanks Show details · 1
Had the purple patches but – This TV is still serving me great as a PC monitor after many years, it gets used many hours every day! I had the dreaded purple patches after about 2 years which was out of warranty but after insisting it was a well known manufacturing fault and providing Samsung with evidence of this claim they fixed it for free. Which is a great move and thank… Read more · 1
you for the good customer service. They have not returned yet... Next buy will be Sony though, Japanese just make better stuff. (I replaced a broken Samsung Aircon and Microwave with Panasonic and yeah, better).
Pretty decent tv – I bought this tv from Jb hifi for around $800-$900. The reason I bought it was since it was a Samsung product and has 4k with a cheaper price tag. However after awhile I saw rings forming on the screen when lighter colours are shown which was disappointing. Other than that it seems like a decent 4k tv which I still use till today. The gaming mode it is also handy when I play on my console which reduced the lag but lowers the fps. Show details · 1
Negative reviews
Buy stronger glue – The TV works fine apart from the reflectors falling out and showing white spots on the screen. Initially with one or two it was bearable, but with 10 spots it is disturbing. Show details

TV is not good quality – TV has lost its quality, showing white circles on screen. Annoying while watching TV. No help available. Have Bern told that it's the glue behind the screen is poor quality.
5 years seems to be all a Samsung TV can be expected to last – My Samsung UA55KU6000 dropped dead while watching. Just turned five years old, similar reviews here indicate that seems to be common. No problems prior but only five years is disappointing. Show details

Last Samsung I will buy – TV only 5 years old. Worked one day. No picture the next day. Contacted Samsung via their chat line and after over an hour talking with them I was told that they could do nothing for me. The extended warranty I had taken out when I purchased the TV is about 10 days over. The cost to repair will be almost as expensive as purchasing a new one, if… Read more
it was able to be fixed. I have had a number of Samsung TV's over the years but this will be the last. When did an expensive item turn into a consumerable item?

Only lasted 4 years – Lost power while watching. Tested the power cord. Replaced remote batteries but no power light. Never had a TV do this before. Even my plasma lasted over 10 years. Disappointing Show details
Waste of money, will never buy Samsung TV again – I have only had it for about 5 years and in about 3 years once it stopped turning on. I contacted Samsung service centre Sibnet, even though the warranty time (2 years) was over, they fixed it for me with no charge. Bur I was very disappointed for this to happen to a 3-year old TV. You would expect 995$ should work much longer than that. Now again… Read more
another problem, the picture became darker on the left side and the picture was ghosting on the left side, now it has become worse the whole picture is running horizontally. I feel really disappointed.
Got in touch with a service center, they told me "The repair would require the replacement of the LCD panel, however these are no longer available for your model.". So basically I have to throw my TV out. The only thing I am happy about is the good customer service from SIBNet, other than that my TV was absolute waste of money.
Not good enough Samsung – Samsung oroducts used to be great and lasted a long time. This tv has developed white circles on the screen after about 4 years and this is repairable but cost is about $ 300 and I personally cannot afford that on a pensioner budget. I am a bit sus about samsung products now and will have to look at what I buy as a new mobile later this year- Samsung or their rival.
Blue tint and white batches – hi, TV started to show blue tint and white batches after 4 years...so disappointing as not excepted from a big brand like Samsung. It is getting worse now everyday especially with the black&white old movies

TV Showing white circles after 3 years. Customer service doesn't care – Purchased in 2017, started to notice showing arrays of white circles across the entire TV during covid lockdown. Searched online, seems like a common problem with Samsung TV product lines. Contacted Samsung customer service they did not care. They refused to fix or exchange, offered third party repair option which at my own cost. I am very… Read more
disappointed with their lack of service.
Samsung TV does not update software just like their smartphones, what you get on the purchase day is basically what you get functional wise, no useful future software update.
I wish Samsung could include Apple TV+ in their updates or TV app store, but NO.
Heap Of Junk - Will Never Buy Samsung Again. Beware – Paid over a grand for this and until this experience had a lot of faith and confidence in Samsung products and I have many. Just over 3 years blue clouds started appearing and now it is unwatchable. Unfortunately when you Google this particular model this seems normal insofar that the panel gives up after a few years. Samsungs idea of a remedy -… Read more
nada. Get it repaired at my own expense! Cant seem to find anyone there who gives a damn and feels that this is normal. Maybe normal for Samsung. But not for me. Steer clear of this brand. ZERO customer service. BUYER BEWARE

Only a few years old – I brought my Samsung 6 series ( 50) in 2018 and already my wifi stop working. So not happy on it. I have to hook it up to my Apple TV to get Netflix or anything on line. Because the wifi doesn't always work. And it's not our internet. Because the Apple TV work and so does other things in the house. Was a good tv until that happen. Would I… Read more
buy it again no. I must say the only good thing is I did get it under $1000 which was good. Brought it from JBHiFI in Mackay. The manager there gave me a good deal due to being a loyal customers for years. Wish the tv would last longer tho
We are sorry to hear of the Wi-Fi issues you are… Read more
Good Affordable TV – We have had this TV for about 3 years and It has been great. No issues with it at all and a great size. We will be upgrading to a bigger tv and will stick with Samsung. Show details
Just lost all channels??? – I bought this TV about 3 years ago and like all the other Samsung's I've had/have it was pretty good, until one day when I turned it on and there was no reception. At first I thought it may have been a problem with the antenna so I tried it on another that was working with another TV but still nothing. I believe this was around 1400$ so I feel it should have lasted longer than it did. Show details

Not Happy less than 3 years old – Not very happy at all. We brought our Samsung UA55KU6000W tv in May 2017 from Harvey Norman. Tv always keeps losing the wifi & coming up with reconnection. Only way to get it back up again is to turn off unplug wait 10 seconds & turn back on. Has been going on for a while now. Now it happened yesterday so i turned off unplugged & turned back on as… Read more
i always have. However tv turned on screen was all blotchy & it froze. I was unable to control with remote at all. 3 sets of new batteries put in remote no difference. Red light under tv is flashing when buttons are being pressed but nothing happening. So i powered down again & restarted now tv is working with no sound & im unable to control with remote or volume/on, off toggle switch on back of tv. Beyond annoyed a little over 2 years old & its had it. We have always had Samsung tvs, dvd players & mobile phones always been happy with the quality but not so happy now..
Close to $1500 spent on a tv with a life of just over 2 years. Sorry but not good enough Samsung..
Worst experience ever... Isn't a TV supposed to last more than a few years? – After approximately 4 years, all of a sudden, the colours on half of the screen appeared washed out, I thought, I'll keep using it and see what happen. A couple of weeks later, the expensive Samsung TV turned into an expensive radio! No picture only sound. For this kind of money, you'd expect it to last at least five years. I lost the receipt and… Read more
Samsung's service, the worst ever, on the Philippines, was impossible to convince to let me talk to someone in Australia to discuss the extended warranty which the Australian consumer law guarantees. I know the people answering the phone in the Philippines know nothing but it is a lousy customer service, or rather no service at all. Samsung will happily sell you their TV, when it comes to fixing it, should you lose the receipt, even though they can identify its age by the product number, you will have to throw the TV out the window. Actually, I will try to sell it for parts on eBay. Maybe you will have to, too.
I do apologise for the experiences you have had with us… Read more (+3 replies)
backlight issues – Ive had this tv for 3 years and had little issues apart from it losing wifi now and then( fixed it by unplugging the tv and turning back on, in the last week I have noticed the right hand side of the screen backlighting to be dim, Im a licensed electrician and wondering if parts are available, or its a throwaway item, my 10 yr old 40 inch samsung still works 100%, funny that the newer model failed Show details

Purple blotches on screen – Purple blotches appeared on screen and steadily got worse. Discovered that this is a well known problem worldwide with this tv. TV is 2 years and 3 months old, so out of warranty. However Samsung replaced panel. Thanks Samsung, but problem may reoccur. Show details
Life of tv – Was happy with Tv performance and ease of use. My complaint is with regards to life of Tv ,just over 20 months old and screen is scrolling on left hand side and also poor colour. Contacted Samsung and was told screen was faulty and not repairable and that 2 years was considered life of product . 2 Years product life for something that cost over a thousand dollars is not good enough Samsung. Will not buy a Samsung product again. Show details

Fighting a losing battle – Picture quality ok, sound not very good despite the multiple choices. Trying to record onto a card or ext hard disc is unpredictable ..sometime she will, often she won't The real nightmare is that every time you turn the set on. Either the channels are gone/changed/data only. I can't get rid of "tv plus" which I don't want..not there when I… Read more
bought the set.
Now it tries to cut out channels unless I carefully watch the choose/cancel trick boxes
and today it has made ceefax inaccessible.
HELP..you must be joking
Don't buy.

Excellent 4K Smart TV – This tv has a very good quality picture. We use it as our main tv. Watching sport is great, but if you want to get the best out of it is watching a 4k movie. The screen is crystal clear. Its good for gaming too. Samsung hub is very easy to use. I also have the samsung smart view app and I can control it from my mobile phone. For the price it is a very good value tv. Show details
Great tv – This tv was a great tv as it is uhd 4k for my streaming plus you have the additional benefit of it being a smart tv so get thr apps such as tuning and you tube and of course netflix. Also comes with sports mode for thr footy which has stadium like sound and enhanced colour. Seem to be cheap to run electric for the size of it and doesn't put off much heat.pleased with the purchase. Show details
Great – Its perfect during the smart view with you other Samsung devices, it's perfect tv in average. Can be used at kid rooms because for the size, and the internet connection always worked properly, i recommend this tv for who looking for an affordable tv, but i never had series 7 or 8 to compare Show details
Engineered to fail – Like all Samsung product they engineered to have a limited life time. For their tvs, if you are luck 5 years, that is all mine lasted, 5 years on the dot it failed, and it is a TV that is only used once a week, just keeps turning it self off after 5 minutes. Same issue with washing machine, same issue with air conditioner, Mobile phones they… Read more
don't last more than 3 years. They are kings of the create waste consumerism that is killing our world filling it with waste.
Best to avoid Samsung in general. And their service is 3rd rate. Cheap re branded TVs like Kogan or Palsonic last longer and are less than half the price.
Good smart tv – I bought it from Costco when it on sale last year. And has been watching for one year. It is easy to watch youtube and netflix. My son like watch simple song video on youtube. Just love it cause it is easy to access online source. Picture quality is good as well. Show details
Perfect but lacks speed i.e screen freeze – Picture quality is above average, speakers are not good for cinematic or music experience. There are enough ports never has problems. Functionality and user friendly i.e apps are fluid. However it requires good sound purchased for 990$ at Jbhifi and its great value for money in my opinion. Nice TV Show details
Perfect for us – I bought this TV and my wife wanted to upgrade. After much shopping around this seemed like the best value for the price. Happy with product, Great TV, image looks amazing. Was easy to setup. Only issue was that it wasn't wirelessly compatible with my Samsung Soundbar.happy with it.....best tv Show details
