Samsung50-Inch Class Crystal UHD U8000F 4K Smart TV (2025 Model) Endless Free Content, Crystal Processor 4K, MetalStream Design, Knox Security, Alexa Built-in

My old tube TV finally died and this TV looks like a movie screen to me! Delivery was fast (received next day) and the price was the same as other retailers. I appreciated the measurements were included so I knew if it would fit on my console. Also appreciated that the “how big of a screen would be good in my space” info was given. Picture is very clear and the sound isn’t bad for having tiny speakers. Will probably get a sound bar to improve the sound later.

** ★★★★☆ 5-Star Review**I recently upgraded to the Samsung 43-Inch Class Crystal UHD U8000F (2025), and overall, it's been a solid leap forward from my old HD set.What I Love:Crisp 4K visuals and vibrant colors powered by the Crystal Processor 4K, offering lifelike upscaling even for non-4K content.Elegant MetalStream design with a slim bezel that looks modern and minimal—great aesthetic touch.Robust smart features via Tizen OS: easy access to loads of apps and thousands of free streaming channels through Samsung TV Plus.Built-in Knox Security for added peace of mind, helping protect my personal data on this connected device.Room for Improvement:The 60 Hz refresh rate isn’t ideal for serious gamers; casual plays are fine but don’t expect motion smoothness like on premium models.Picture contrast and brightness aren’t the deepest—dark scenes, especially in bright rooms, look a bit washed out compared to VA-panel or OLED TVs.Built-in speakers are just average—adding a soundbar makes a world of difference for richer audio.Bottom Line:If you want a stylish, user-friendly 4K TV with strong smart features at a budget price, this is a great fit. It’s not for cinematic contrast lovers or hardcore gamers, but for everyday streaming, shows, movies, and casual gaming, it delivers exceptional value.

I'm torn between giving this tv 3 or 3.5 but half stars are not an option so 3 it is.Price value - a lot of good tv from a proven brand. 75" UHD under $700 before taxes and shipping is 5 star worth!Picture quality - because Samsung includes some nice screen colonization presets you will be happy with an UHD model. Honestly I notice most people don't notice if you have a QLED or OLED screen. Doesn't matter if the refresh rate isn't good. Samsung has good refresh rates just remember every thing you watch isn't the best option for the presets. 4 starsSet-up - This is where Samsung fails miserably and I know why they chose to do it but not everyone will like it. The mandatory QR Code set-up is unnecessary. People want to simple plug in their game system or external streaming devices and enjoy themselves. But no Samsung wants you to have an account under the guise of syncing all of your other Samsung gadgets. I have no need for my watch nor my phone to be synced to my tv. No optical audio output is a bad move as well. You will lose some sound features because of this. TOO INTRUSIVE! .25 StarOperating System - well it's a "smart" tv so it does have an OS. It can be a bit sluggish. Compared to my 85" Samsung OLED the speed is noticeable but not painful. It does have preset app option that gets imported automatically from your other Samsung TV if you choose to do that. Convenient but still intrusive as all my TVs in my home are used for separate viewing experiences. 4 starsSound - again this is not a deal breaker but it's to be considered. The speakers are not bad and most brands don't put a lot of effort into this due chasis thickness and most people will use a sound bar. I highly suggest you get a sound bar it only allows Bluetooth connection to do it. 2.5 starsBeware when ordering this TV via Amazon because I found out the hard way by not reading enough of the comments. This tv is often delivered damaged. Mine was not damaged via delivery but it was repackaged damaged and sold to me. Mind boggling! The screen was cracked but the box was intact. Meaning the tv was intentionally resold damaged. It had red sticker tags on it and was missing the top screen support corner brackets. I did not want a refund. I wanted a replacement and had to sit on the phone for a bit to get that done. They gave me a bit of a run around and pushing for me to get a refund and I had to elevate the issue.Overall Im happy with the purchase but do your due diligence with this one.

Picture quality and such is quite nice, was able to get it out of the box and set up in a reasonable amount of time. I used an aftermarket mount, which probably took longer, but fit easily. Has reasonable enough sound, especially for a flat screen. TV is of reasonable weight of around 50 or so pounds which is quite impressive for such a large TV.The downsides. If you want to watch anything, it requires you to set up a Samsung account to access any features at all on the TV whatsoever. The remote included with it is minimalistic at best and highly annoying to use. Trying to enter the setup screen? It instead launches the samsung TV app and starts playing whatever crap is on there. Turning the TV on? Samsung TV app autoplays. Trying to access menus, Samsung TV app autoplays. In order to turn it off you have to dig into the advanced settings and manually disable features that do not seem related to it, as turning off autoplay does not turn off autoplay. The minimalist remote makes navigating things very difficult as it is not an improvement and I would much rather just have some basic standard buttons to do everything. The good news, I have an older Samsung TV and the old remote works perfectly with the new TV so I can work around it.

This TV replaced a 2016 LG 4k that was 65". It's been a few weeks and every time I turn it on I'm shocked how good the picture is.A couple things other than the picture quality. Samsung did a good job making the set-up quick and easy. Our original plan was to buy a new TV at Costco but decided to order from Amazon because of the included in home delivery/set-up. They even hauled away the box.
