Great Picture, Just Okay Sound and 5-year life

Samsung 40” had great picture and so-so sound until connected to surround sound receiver to improve the later. Then, as the included pictures show, the Edge Backlit failed during 5th year- too soon in my opinion. Seeing 1/4 of the screen black taught me to avoid models with Edge Backlit and go for Direct Backlit. First picture shows how tall the 65” about to buy will be and it will be the full width of the entertainment center. Couldn’t resist the 65” getting a deal on Black Friday at Best Buy and how much less expensive large TVs are 5 years later. Will have to move the sofa back a 2-3 feet to be able to take in that whole screen. In general, have found a Samsung brand to be high quality so disappointed Edge Backlit failed in 5th year.

I’m so disappointed. There are ads on this tv’s menu bar. Steps can be taken to minimize them. But they cannot be removed altogether.

I purchased this particular monitor to replace a very big and cumbersome flat tube and I couldn't be happier! I have had a long history of purchasing Samsung monitors for all of my computing, and also, now my video entertainment needs. The picture is sharp and colorful out of the box with nice deep blacks and all other colors appearing sharp and crisp. Easy to set up and put together and had all the inputs I needed for my connected equipment- including an old VCR, an HDMI direct tv box, and also an HDMI Blu-ray player. All sources for all inputs work just fine. I also purchased a USB Keyboard to make accessing the internet a lot easier when typing in various search boxes which is just awesome!! One thing I will also say is that this 40-inch LOOKS a lot bigger than what its measurement says it is... so a very good thing!! Samsung is my main brand and has come through once more with a great piece of electronics!!

I bought a 50 inch series 6 last year for our living room and was very pleased with the quality of the picture. The picture comes in a lot better when you stream.If you use it with a Spectrum or cable box the picture isn't that great since they broadcast in 1080. So I recommend ditch the cable box and stream all your programming. There really is a big difference. Anyway when it came down to replacing the TV we have in the master bedroom it was a no brainer. I checked online and found the Samsung series 6 40 inch TV at a great price. Bought it and it only took 5-10 minutes to set it up. The product is really good for the price we paid.

This is a beautiful screen with a beautiful picture. Very easy to use to make choices in settings. I was happy to find this Smart TV 4K with this size screen. Usually you could only find this in a larger screen. The price was excellent for the quality and as always Best Buy employees were very helpful showing me the selection I requested and loading it in my car the best way to protect it during my drive home.

I wanted a LARGE computer monitor for my tired eyes so this was a win/win for me. You literally plug it in, do about a 4 minute setup on the remote and you have immediate stuff to watch whether you have cable or not! I plugged my Apple TV into it to display my small 13” MacBook Pro screen on it and it worked seamlessly. So I now have shows to watch when I need to take a break from work! Beautiful TV - no issues what so ever. You need to handle these TVs correctly when transporting them from car to home or they will break! NOT just Samsung ...ANY LED TV. Be gentle with the box and make sure you transport it in the Standing position in the car . IMPORTANT: Before you just pull it out of the box, take a minute to prepare a large flat clean soft area (like a nicely made bed) because you will need to lay it screenside DOWN on the surface to screw on the legs. It is not heavy at all so no worries there. Just don’t be a goofy clutz and grab the front of the tv with you fingers pressing on the screen or odds are you probably will turn on a busted right out of the box TV like I have read in some other reviews. Avoid touching the screens on ANY LED TV when lifting, moving etc...
I waited for awhile to write this review to make sure nothing started to clunk out on me. It’s been about a month and I have had no issues at all! Very happy with this purchase.

I love my 40" Samsung. I live in a small place and I simply can't have an overwhelmingly large TV, as I'm not TV crazy. But I wanted a 4k TV because, well, you know 4K is the here.
This 40 inch TV fits nicely in my 180 square foot living room without taking over the room. I don't use the built-in Smart TV features. Instead, I primarily use this with over-the-air TV and my Apple TV.
The only reason it loses a star is the remote control - its buttons can stick down. It's an annoyance. Samsung should fix it.

After reading various reviews and buying guides, I choose this Samsung for its quality and excellent price (purchased during a Holiday sale). I hung this television about six feet high and I can say that the image quality is very good at this height and the sound is loud enough to fill our room. For a basic UHD television, I am more than pleased with purchase.

We bought this TV for an office, and have an HDTV antenna hooked up to it. The images on the local channels are stunning and crisp. On line streaming is easy to set up. Great investment for less than $250.00

Great tv for the price. Several apps already downloaded onto tv. Easy to use. Only issue had to buy longer screws to hang on mount. I thought I could just replace since I purchased same tv, just a newer model

I bought this TV for the bedroom and it works great! It also receives HD channels thru our WiFi. Only negative is the remote is not user friendly for turning on the sleep timer.
