Dynamic Crystal Colour
Whether you're bingeing on a boxset or feasting on a blockbuster, you’ll see everything in crystal clear and lifelike colour on this Samsung 50 inch TV. Dynamic Crystal Colour delivers rich and vibrant images in over one billion shades – 64 times more than conventional UHD TVs.
Object Tracking Sound LITE
Object Tracking Sound Lite chooses which of the TVs front speakers the sound comes through depending on where the action is happening on screen. So you can hear a car fly along your screen or the crowd cheering all around you.
AirSlim with Centre Stand
You don’t just want your TV to look good when it's on - you want it to blend into your room when it's off too. This TV has a slim design with a clean cable solution, so it will look stunning from any angle. It even has the flexibility to work with a wide range of furniture thanks to the centre stand’s small footprint.
Crystal Processor 4K
Think of the processor as the brain of the TV. It works in the background to improve the picture and sound of what you're watching. Simply relax and enjoy the content you love whilst the TV boosts the quality to 4K detail and adjusts the sound depending on what's playing. Streaming movies or watching live sport, you’ll really feel part of the action.

Adaptive Sound recognises the content on screen and adjusts the sound to what you're watching. Whether the director’s intent is to make you feel like part of the crowd or centre stage, the TV will be sure to fulfil.
HDR powered by HDR10+
HDR - or High Dynamic Range – opens up previously hidden depth and detail in the lightest and darkest scenes. HDR is the range from the lightest to the darkest areas of the picture, and the wider the range the more lifelike the image. HDR10+ takes this to the next level by adjusting the HDR range scene-by-scene for a more lifelike viewing experience.

Overpriced average tv, decieving price at launch
Bought this tv whenit first came out Samsung RRP was £1k+
Sale price £809. They decievinly marked up the RRP price at launch.
Now TV RRp is £729 sale price £679. Which is closer to the true value of this tv.
This is deceptive and dishonest sales tactics.
This tv at 65 inc is not worth more than £600
The tv is average picture quality.
Very limited connections.
The stand is cheap plastic.
Biggest annoyance constantly freezes opening apps
Samsung was one of my top brands. Will aboid from now!
Connections very limited.

TV with appeal
I wanted to update my 15 year old TV to a Smart one. This 43” is perfect for my flat. It has a slim profile, easy on the eye picture and was straightforward to set up. It will be wall mounted eventually and I’ve been able to de-clutter with a modern sound bar, too. I’m very happy!

Lack of timeshift lets it down
The picture quality is great and the audio with my Q6000 soundbar and subwoofer is awesome but unfortunately the lack of timeshift is a big letdown for me, especially when my older set, that cost a lot less, has it.

Great Service & Price
Bought the above TV from Middlesbrough branch who did price match and further reduction with 6 year guarantee. Shaun was extremely helpful and responded to email queries promptly and got product in store next day for me to collect. TV is as expected from Samsung - picture quality, sound and functionality great for the price. TV is also very thin and looks great on the wall

on wednesday we bought a new Samsung UE43CU8500
We looked at this TV for a short while decided to contact Richer sounds Nottingham to see if they had one in stock. They had one left in store brand new in the box. Tom reserved it for us, so glad we bought it the same day. Easy set up and very good picture for the money, over the years we have bought from this shop never dissapointed.
