43” tv
I bought this tv about a month ago and found the sound poor quality, low volume and ended up buying a sound bar. This I suspect most tv are just to push you into buying sound bars as an extra, devious.
I find that a lot of films are showing a lot of dark scenes and you can hardly see what is happening, resulting in if there is too much, deleting it. I have not found a way to brightening the scene without making it unnatural.
The sound bar they sell for the tv would be better if it was about 20mm shorter so it would fit in between the tv stand feet, poor matching design!

Good but not outstanding
I bought my TV a month ago. Picture quality, build quality are good, but the remote still feels as flimsy as my last Samsung remote as it is almost identical. Also it is less responsive than my last remote as it will jump more channels than I’m asking it to. Considering technology moves on and this TV is more expensive than my last, it appears to have one less feature, which is seeing what programmes are coming up on each channel. It only shows what is on now which seems a backward step, unless I’m reading the instructions incorrectly.

Your software is bad and you should feel bad.
Hardware is excellent for the money paid - picture is great and sound from such a wafer-thin panel is better than expected. Unfortunately the software is woeful to the point that I regret buying a Samsung TV. It's almost like it purposely goes out of its way to be awkward. It decides what you want to watch. If you flick into the settings it starts streaming from some Samsung streaming service with a 70s film you've never heard of. The homepage is full of spam for services I don't have and programmes I don't watch. The nice little remote turns my Xbox on when it feels like it. It's almost like the TV thinks it is in charge and I will watch what it wants me to watch. To top it all off, none of this rubbish can be disabled so now everytime I want to watch TV or play a game, I die a little bit inside.

Expensive Crap
Remote control small and cumbersome, the television itself has a tendency when you switch it back on to go into set up mode or you get a house icon appearing which jogs on the screen and you have to turn the whole system off again before starting again, to be honest like most technology today its just a load of expensive crap and companies like Samsung profit of the back of it. Have given it a star to get this review published otherwise it would have been zero
