Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Picture Quality: Users consistently praise the sharp 4K resolution, vibrant yet natural colors, and the ability of the X1 processor to upscale older, lower-resolution content with impressive clarity.
  • Strong Value for Money: Many reviewers highlight that this model provides the premium build quality and performance expected from the brand at a much more affordable price than high-end OLED models.
  • Intuitive Google TV Interface: The smart TV platform is frequently described as snappy and easy to navigate, offering seamless integration with popular streaming apps and effective voice control via Google Assistant.

Cons

  • Frequent Software Freezing: A recurring issue among users is the TV's tendency to freeze or become unresponsive, often requiring the unit to be physically unplugged and restarted to restore functionality.
  • Poor Remote Control Design: The included remote is widely criticized for being too small, lacking a numeric keypad for direct channel entry, and having no backlighting for visibility in dark rooms.
  • Unreliable Wi-Fi Connectivity: Multiple customers reported that the TV frequently drops its wireless connection or fails to find networks entirely, necessitating frequent network resets or hard reboots.

Customer Fit

  • Primary audience: People using this model as the main living room TV praise the large screen sizes (65–85"), theater-like feel, strong color, and clear dialogue for sports, movies, and everyday shows from across the room.
  • Secondary audience: Many buyers explicitly installed the 50–65" sizes in bedrooms and liked that it’s easy to mount, sounds good without a soundbar, and is quick to get streaming.
  • Ideal scenarios: Reviewers say PS5 gameplay “looks great” and input lag feels low for casual gaming, but competitive players wanting 120Hz/VRR or simultaneous 4K+HDR may be disappointed.

    The TV is a little buggy right out of the box so make sure you do an update right away. Other than that the picture is great. I have an OLED in the living room and game room so going LED felt like going backwards but it’s for a bedroom. It looks almost as crisp as my OLED

  7. THIS TV WILL NOT LAST! SAVE YOUR MONEY!

    DO NOT BUY A SAMSUNG TV. This one is only a year and a half old and just quit working. Trying to get a hold of Samsung Customer Service is ridiculous. When I called, I chose the option to be called back when somebody was available. Sitting on hold for three hours. Started reading the reviews and realized there is only a one year warranty. Almost $2000 down the drain. I would think for that kind of money it would last more than a year and a half. I will never ever buy anything that has the Samsung name on it. I would suggest you do the same. This is a 85” tv.

    I just use this as a 4k big computer monitor so I know nothing about all the smart TV stuff…. But is is 110% perfect in every way! Zero complaints, issues, or problems…. I know it cost 2 to 3 times as much, but if you need something that just absolutely works and you have the coin to pay for it, this will get it done!
