Good pic but – Smart Tv. Good pic, very light. Prob is it lags when changing channels. Takes time to update the title of the show. Slow software. Seems sound can be weak. Use with sound bar. Show details
Great TV – Purchased this tv nearly a year ago and still works and looks amazing. Very high contrast and great detail. Good for watching movies and sports. Very light and easy to carry around. Would definitely buy again if I had to replace it. Good internet access and easy to navigate. Would recommend Show details
AN AMAZING tv – Picture is perfect, great speakers, heaps of ports, very good OS, I would recommend this TV to anyone wanting to buy, we have had it since april and we are very happy with it, we got it at a great price when we found it on special at a local store Show details
Negative reviews
Won't connect to internet – The image quality is very good. Unfortunately, the smart TV feature does not work due to connection problem with the internet. The error keeps coming up which says that TV Mac address is invalid. The TV won't even attempt to search for any wifi network. It also won't connect to wired network. Software can't be upgraded, since it's only possible to… Read more
do that via internet. This is a known issue widely reported on line which users seem to be unable to solve.
Disapointing – I have this TV to be shockingly disappointing I was under the impression that 4k ultra high definition was going to be better than my last TV I was wrong poor black and very slow when using the tv with xbox for games the menu is hard to understand but really it is the lack of picture quality that let's it down.

About average Smart interface, but decent picture – I would prefer companies to start making these type of tv's without the smart crap in them. Honestly, you are better off getting a $50 Chromecast, or Firestick or whatever for the Smart stuff and just plug t into a HDMI port. These devices can turn the tv on and off from one control, and can work just about seemlessly. Don't buy a TV of any… Read more
kind to replace an old one you are happy with just to get smarts. IF you have a good TV you are happy with, just get a streaming device to add to your existing TV. I went back to my Pioneer PDP-508xda Plasma Screen with a Google TV stick because it gave better performance, better blacks and works seemlessly with the streaming device.
4 samsungs in our house – We have 4 samsung tv's in our house - 3 series 6 (one of them UHD the other 2 just HD) and one is an older series that offered 3d (never even opened the glasses - what a crock!). Anyway... I am on the hunt for another tv to replace the oldest of the samsungs because it's "smart" version is too old to support netflix. We purchased a samsung thumb… Read more
drive to get it to connect to the internet wirelessly and oh my god it it so slow and so laggy its apalling. We find that the 3 newer series 6 models are all SOOO SLOW to change the volume, connect to netflix, stan, change channels even when watching free to air. Really, the changing of the tv's volume (to low when you turn it on in the mornings) is the biggest bugbear. There is so much lag it's totally infuriating - the most expensive UHD tv is the worst! If someone turns on the tv in the morning we are all blasted by the loud volume it was set to the night before as the volume button is so laggy and unresponsive, it could be 10 seconds until we can get the volume down - yes the tv is hardwired to the internet and yes we have NBN. I think the processors in the samsung tv's are not up to the job - dont sell a big juicy bells and whistles tv without processors to run them Samsung!!! Oh, and an interesting thing - we all agree that the best picture in the house is on the big HD samsung - it beats the UHD considerably. Go figure. Figuring out how to record a show or playback something recirded on a thumb drive is very confusing and convuluted so we have given up. Samsung only supports PC and we are a mMac household - also another stupid annoying thing. Samsung you are obviously a PC company so please think outside the lines here. Lastly, we bought a Samsung soundbar for the big UHD tv and the sound on all settings is so muffly we have stopped using it. What a total waste of money.
I’m really sorry to hear of the experience you've had so… Read more
ABSOLUTELY TOTAL WORTH! – Being a smart TV and totally in sync with the brand Samsung's quality, the TV is complete worth the penny. NO complains bought it over 1.5 years now. Working fine with crisp and clear UHD pic quality and sound that pretty much gel effortlessly with each other. Show details · 1
Decent TV – Bought this TV to hold me over for few years. Samsung have always been my go to brand when it comes to buying TV's. I find they are always on the costly side, but are well made. I am a bit suspicious that support for the Smart TV apps get cut off unecessarily, perhaps to motivate people to buy a newer model. The sound isn't great, so i recommend… Read more
buying a sound system and connecting that. However, I feel that is pretty usual with all big TV's now a days.
This TV has a few HDMI points, but I've noticed that not all of them work. I would have liked there to have been more USB points too,
Could not be happier! – Get product. Picture quality is great, speakers are good. Very good as a bedroom TV. Would highly recommend. Has all the apps such as Netflix, SBS and many other free to air channels: and it only set me back roughly $1000. I was trying to decide between this and a Sony, and I'm glad I made this choice.

Great price, great product – Bought this through myer when they were having huge sale. Has 3 HDMI ports, great display and sound. I personally love samsung's smart tv system so it's overall best purchase for the price! Only regret that I have is that I didn't get a bigger tv, would highly recommend getting bigger tv Show details
Lovely – The quality of the picture and the sound of this Tv is amazing, i can hear and see everything very very clearly. I’m satisfied with the amount of ports on the TV and I am very glad that I decided to purchase it out of all the other options there are Show details
Absolutely Love This TV – Never had a TV with such a rich and vibrant picture, Samsung clearly know what they are doing when it comes to screens. I pretty much can't fault it. It looks good in different light levels, viewing angles are good, dark colours separate well. Its very easy on the eye. Menu is a bit complicated but basic functions are easy enough. No gripes, a great purchase. Show details
Great TV – This is a great TV. Really enjoyed having it! Highly recommended for those who are fan of watching tv. We bought this unit to replace our old television about a two years ago. Earlier we were using Sony brand which did not provie to be very reliable and within a couple ofyears it's screen starting showing lines on it. Show details
Samsung Series 6 MU6100 – this is one of the best things I have ever bought! the tv is crystal clear and all my Blu rays; video games and streaming services look fantastic! The built in speakers are typical but I use a receiver and surround sound; this also takes care of the lack of HDMI cables; as someone like myself has a lot of external devices. My only regret is not buying it sooner! Show details
Decent window to the world – I have had this TV for a year and it's going pretty well. The picture quality is quite good and the built-in speakers have never failed me. Personally, I have never had problems with the ports because it's connected to the WiFi. The OS is Android and it's been good. The only problem that can be annoying is the remote. It lost an 'Enter'… Read more
function for a couple of months but it's back now. I'm not sure what caused it. Will have to contact Samsung if it ever happens again.
Good quality overall – The quality, color sound are all good. Two cons: 1. it cannot project iphone on to the screen. Android is fine, but not iphone. 2. the andriod based shell is very poor. I had to buy another TV boxes at the end of the day. I do not think the TV is smart. Show details
Great TV – Recently purchased this absolutely amazing TV! Picture quality is absolutely superb, sound quality is also decent, considering how slim and discreet the TV is in terms of size. Watching 4K movies is incredibly stunning, even better than a cinema! I would highly recommend this TV to anyone looking for a new product Show details
Great Design and Interface – We picked up a 50 inch model for a good price in the lead up to Christmas as a bit of an early Christmas present to ourselves to replace our aging (but still functional) 42 inch TV. One of the best things about it is the user friendly interface which gives quick and easy access to the apps that installed, meaning we can quickly resume Netflix or… Read more
turn on the Xbox with just 2 clicks on the remote.
Hooking up to our home Wifi was super easy. The sound quality seems pretty standard for a TV, nothing to complain about here.
It also has USB recording and allows you to pause live TV, which is handy at times.
The remote is also very elegant and minimal, and works great - I never thought a remote could impress me but this one does! It also features voice control through the remote so we can tell it to change channels or ask it questions, just for fun.
The picture is nice and bright and clear, but disappointingly the images in some cartoons (for the kids, not me!) seem a bit jagged and not all that smooth or clear.
Overall we are very happy with this TV.

It's good – It's nice. It was a good deal. Tv was good and worked nicely till now. Clarity is excellent. It was a value for money buy. Great value for the product they provided. Hope all other companies also do the same. Great going by the company. Nice. Superb. Woow. Thanks. Show details
Great – Before purchasing this tv I had never really spent a lot on a television. Now I have had this tv I am not sure if I could go back to anything else. the picture quality is really good and the sound is fine as well. It’s great to watch sports on too. Show details
Just a base model – It's not as slim design as I expected from LED TV (Harvey Norman sale for $895) Picture quality is not as good as 55" series 6. Small remote control which is handy. You can connect to internet straight which is good. I would prefer pay extra few dollars ($899) to get 55" series 6. Show details
Great tv reliable – My friend has one great picture reliable trusted name 50 inch 4K ultra is life like ultra high definition great watching movies home theatre sound effect looks great flat screen lots of jacks and hdmi connections good remote easy to navigate great picture best I’ve seen great sound leading brand Show details
Good value for the money – Good 4K TV replacing our full HD. Samsung is the best brand for 4K TV s. Picture quality isn’t as good as the Series 8. Remote is average. Sound quality is great. Easy to control Smart functionality. Easy to install. Great value for under a $1000. 50 inch screen is big enough for a 3 meter distance Show details
Psst .. the TV is trying to listen to you – Right, well let's call it like it is. You're not going to buy a 6 series Samsung TV and expect OLED type performance or the latest and greatest features. This is a smart TV pitched fairly and squarely at those on a tight budget. We managed to pick one up for well under a grand - so I'd say 'tick' on the value stakes. 4K resolution, advanced smart… Read more
features 'tick' & 'tick'. Not much to complain about there.
Hardware wise, pretty much everything is catered for and apart from a lack of a line out or headphone out, there's also all the usual HDMI, optical and network connectivity one would want or need. Picture quality is not that great out of the box admittedly. You also need to stay fairly much in-line to the optimum viewing angle as the screen quickly appears washed out if you step out of the sweet-spot. With a little tuning you can actually get a fairly decent image out of this set - sure it'll never be a nice as a high end unit but for the price you really shouldn't be disappointed.
The big letdown for me was the reliance on the included smart remote. Often simple is better, but in this case the simplification isn't going to be to everyone's liking. The remote lacks many direct button features (e.g. a simple number pad for example). There's a central four way switch to handle most navigation features and thankfully a channel as well as volume up/down toggle. The 'smart' feature about this remote is that it includes voice control and a microphone. You just need to hold the mic button and say something like "aheam .. 1... 2.. testing, testing .. is this thing on?". TV responds by saying "yea what do you want?. Did you want channel 2? If not, I can do this, this or that .. or even this". Not the quickest way to select channels, but for the gizmo fanatic it may be something that keeps you amused. It actually works reasonably well - that is if you like speaking to your TV or the fact that you have an internet enabled device which potentially listens to all your conversations. Personally I would have preferred a more standard controller.
Like many low-end TV's, it struggles with upscaling. Free to air standard definition content looks quite ordinary with significant artefacts. This is where some some of the higher priced variants will certainly outshine it. Any full-HD content however brings the picture quality back into line and on 4K you'll certainly be quite happy with the photo like images dancing on the screen. All the popular apps are there and so is screen mirroring or control via a mobile phone.
Anyway, it's not the best TV out there and nor can it be at this price point. As far as the smart features go, it definitely fulfils many of the features that you'd be paying lots more for on higher end sets, so in summary - It's a darn good value purchase .. as long as you can live with that awful remote.
BEST TV I HAVE OWNED – Although I have had a fair share of large HD TV's, this has by far the best picture quality. It is also the first Smart TV I have owned. It is very easy to use and great to access all your online apps such as Netflix and Stan. It connects all your other devices and recognizes them so its very easy to navigate through your DVD player or… Read more
PlayStation. It even has a voice control option which is a bit of fun but doesn't get a whole lot of use. By the time you tell it what to do and it gets to your desired channel ect. You can easily manually change the channel or setting. But still a nice Feature.
Crystal clear TV with all the extras – We use this as our main TV. It is crystal clesr with great sound. I love that you can watch Netflix, YouTube, iview etc without needing to connect anything else. The only feature I miss is the hole in the base to screw it to the furniture so the kids can't pull it over. A key safety feature that all heavy TVs should have. Show details
Mind blown! – I’d been using a non-Smart tv for the past 10 years. I decided it was time to upgrade when my old tv started playing up. I wanted to stick with Samsung because of their good name and I wasn’t disappointed. The picture quality is amazing and speakers are excellent. I love that the remote has only a small amount of buttons but is voice controlled. I use the Netflix app a fair amount. Samsung has definitely impressed me with this TV. Show details
Amazing! – The picture quality is amazing, everything on the screen looks really realistic. The speakers are also incredible, I cannot flaw them. There are plenty of HDMI ports which is great for connecting all your devices to you tv. I love the smart tv and everything on it, its incredible to be able to watch youtube and netflix and everything you could ever want on one tv. Show details
The techknoledgy is by far one of the smartest things of the 21 century in Samsung Tvs – Very satisfy and looking forward to more smart Tvs from Samsung comparing to other brands. Samsung have to be ahead of other major brands if it want to be the top brands or number one brands in the world of television. Keeping its products consumer friendly and relaiable in everyone share and form adequate information of the products just be accessable to all. Show details
Great Product – I have has my samsung and am very happy with product features picture quality and general performance I would recommend the product as it does perform up to expectation and has a picture really easy on the eye. I watch the tv from near and far, it does not hurt my eyes. The remote control is easy to use and responsive. Show details
Its good – Quality is amazing. Sound is the best ive ever had. works well with bluetooth. Netflix is outstanding on this tv. pixel show the hd images. I love how when I watch this tv I get sucked in because the quality is so good and I cant live without my samsung television. Show details
