I have had this TV for 10 days now and I wanted to share my feelings on the positives, negatives, and overall traits. I did extensive research on Youtube and Amazon before landing on this one. I was moving up from a 60″ plasma Samsung which I was moving into my living room, to replace a 42″ Panasonic plasma which I am moving outdoors to my patio. I’ve owned several Samsung TVs. Here are my thoughts:Positives: – Great packaging. The box has a “pull off top” that allows you to expose the TV while it is standing upright and easily get your hands under it to lift if straight out. There was plenty of styrofoam and the screen and TV overall were clean and devoid of scratches or cracks. – Delivery. I paid the extra few dollars for “delivery to any room” and the delivery team took it straight to my home theatre in the basement. Both were very nice and wearing masks and arrived on time. – 4K picture. I have watched hours of 4K content on Youtube to test the color, dynamic range, etc. It’s brilliant! Really blew me away. I would recommend (after making this mistake myself) to not get too wrapped up in all the comparisons and little distractions brought up in various Youtube videos. The reality is a 2020 Samsung 4K TV is going to look pretty amazing. The reviewers get down into crazy details that the average person just won’t notice. – Setup. The setup for the remote, Smart TV options, etc, was SUPER easy. It automatically paired to the Samsung sound bar I also bought, and also automatically connected to my cable TV box (Spectrum) and the setup of Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video was done in minutes.Negatives and Annoyances: – The remote kinda sucks. It is very small (same size as an Amazon Fire TV remote) and has minimal buttons. I’ve learned to use it just fine, but I really don’t understand this dumb concept of “minimalist” TV remotes. If you are using the remote in a dark media room, it’s basically impossible to see the buttons. And the remote has no backlite or glow-in-the-dark features. Also, the volume and channel buttons are narrow little toggles that you click literally forward/backward instead of just pressing up or down. Really, just stupid design. Not a dealbreaker, but terrible nonetheless. ALSO, the soundbar remote is basically IDENTICAL, but without channel or Home options. I can’t tell you how many times I grab the wrong remote in the dark. Overall, the remote sucks. – SOAP OPERA EFFECT ENABLED OUT OF THE BOX – Disable this! It ruins 4K movies! You can do your own research on this topic, but bottom line, this TV (like many competitors) automatically enables “motion smoothing technology” which might be OK for sports, but RUINS real 4K movies. But don’t despair! Just disable LED Clear Motion in the Expert Settings, and the problem is solved. – Sound. The soundbar also, for whatever dumb reason, comes set up with “sound delay” which means moving mouths do not match the sound. This is also an option you can fix easily in Expert Settings, but again, so stupid for it to be enabled. It should not even be an option in my opinion.Overall: Really love it and would recommend. Note, I am not using it for gaming, just streaming movies and regular TV. Beautiful picture, easy setup, good packaging and delivery, and very easy-to-use smart TV options. I would definitely buy it again!

This tv is awesome. Thought it had 4 hdmi ports, but I bought a splitter so that should fix the problem. Games and movies look amazing. Also, if your soundbar is Samsung it will find or request to connect to the tv instantly.

Amazing tv, easy to use and setup and my games looking amazing

Got it yesterday set it up last night setup was pretty easy. I was a little wary of a couple of things, the details on amazon weren’t really clear on whether there was Samsung tv plus and also if the T.V. was YouTube TV app capable. The answer to both questions is yes, they are both available when I looked through the apps during initial setup I couldn’t find Youtube T.V. app, but after I was done with the setup and was surfing through the Samsung tv plus channel lineup I decided to check in all apps went to search type in “YOUTUBE TV” and bam, there it was downloaded it (which was pretty quick all things considered like internet speeds slowing done due to the “epidemic”). I was able to get Alexa all setup except tried to use the drop-in feature from my cell phone at work today to talk to my wife at home but wouldn’t work. Not sure what’s wrong but I Have spent the last 3 years buying 1 tv per room in my home In my son’s room I have a 40 in. Samsung 4k 2018 model, In the living room a 2019 model Samsung 55in. I think its NU7200 model number, and now this year this tv for my wife and I’s room. I will post some pics later I love the new remote its a lot slimmer than the previous kind and seems to load up apps when you turn it on pretty quick and was nice I setup my commute to work and was able to just ask Alexa on the remote how long might drive would be and best way to get there and it got me to work in half the time it usually takes me!! I will keep this updated with anything good or BAD in the future.

The specs on this are confusing because this Amazon page does not correspond to the specs on other websites. For instance it says 60 fps here but 120 fps elsewhere. After research the 55″ and larger are 120 fps, the smaller are 60 fps. Also it notes 2 HDMI here and 3 elsewhere. I believe this is also to do with the size of the television you bought but not sure. Even when viewing a 55″ or larger tv the compare feature here is still showing for their smaller versions.This has lead to a lot of “I didn’t know this was 60 fps when I bought it but I can’t tell” because it is actually 120 if 55″ or larger.Hope this helps, look up the stats elsewhere.Besides this the tv is great, the colors are amazing compared to a normal tv but the RU8000 has a deeper color palette. Basically this is the economy version of the RU8000 but performs very well. It does very well, maybe even the best in it’s class for 4k. The input lag is very low so this could be used for gaming very easily. The gaming mode actually scores better than the movie picture mode in most reviews. The initial settings will need to be tweaked to run this at it’s full potential. Just look up online the best setting than your good to go. After being optimized this tv scored a 9.0 for 4k TV’s, pre-optimized settings it scored a 7.9

I don’t know what people are complaining about in the reviews, this TV is awesome. Granted, the last TV I owned was bought back in 2012 and it was also a Samsung.But this guy is a beast. It’s picture quality is beautiful, it’s super lightweight (around 30lbs), I have it wall mounted and it fits the space perfectly. It’s very low profile, barely come off the wall in terms of depth (your wall mount is what adds depth) and I have it hooked up to my Alexa, prime, Netflix, and Apple TV. All voice activated and works perfectly.Unless you’re a connoisseur of TV’s and buy a new one every year, this guy is perfect for you.I will admit to one noticeable con from the reviews, it does take it a literal second to respond from the remote or Alexa control. But that’s hardly a show stopper for me. If you don’t care about the response being instantaneous you’ll be fine.

Good tv

I really like this TV overall and am happy with my purchase. I ran some 4K demo videos through the built-in YouTube app and the 4K picture is absolutely beautiful. The one minor gripe is that the blacks aren’t truly black, as is the case with all LCD screens, but unless you’re going to pony up the money for an OLED, that’s just the way it’s going to be. The sound quality is also quite good from the TV’s built in speakers.I only have a couple of minor complaints overall about the TV. The first is that I’m not really a fan of the modern style “minimalist” remote. Call me old fashioned, but I would prefer to have a number pad, especially when using the built-in Spectrum TV app to watch my cable TV channels. But if it really bothers me that much I assume I could probably buy a universal remote to use with the TVMy other minor complaint is that I don’t really like the “stand” that came with the TV. My old Samsung TV had a really nice swivel stand that allowed me to turn the TV from side to side, depending on where in the room I was sitting. This TV only has 2 “feet” for a stand, so no swiveling of the TV is really possible. Here again, I can probably remedy this by buying an after-market universal TV stand that will swivel if I want to.Overall I am very satisfied with this TV and would definitely recommend it. At under $400 it’s a very good value.

So i went to every store i could over last 8 months to view the picture and quality of different brands and models. i came to the conclusion that for the most part i liked Samsung models best for picture quality and clarity. I then researched the different Samsung models and chose the 4K UHD 7 series due to price, Picture Quality as well as having Alexa built in. i have been using it for 2 weeks now and we love it. I cant get over how i feel watching shows or movies and the feeling i get, I feel like i am there with them, so real like. My opinion there. Easy to set up, easy to connect, set up took 30 minutes and most done by myself only needed my wife to hang it on my telescopic arm so no reason to be afraid of the 65 inch size. i highly recommend this unit to anyone.

I used to own the Samsung MU6300 but in February it fell and the screen cracked. So when I was looking for a new TV I saw this one but it didn’t have many reviews at the time nor positive ones. But I took a chance and I love the TV; the bezels are thinner and the picture is actually pretty good. They also have all the apps that I needed and use. I know some people have said it’s too dark sometimes but I don’t really have that problem day time or night; you can always switch the picture to dynamic anyways. Overall it’s great and I’m glad I bought it.
