SAMSUNG 55-Inch Class Curved Uhd Tu-8300 Series – 4k Uhd Hdr Smart Tv

I don’t know if i would recommend this product to an older person such as myself. To be honest the remote for the tv is lite grey lines on dark grey plastic. This is not easy to read when you are older. The light touch needed to change settings is not good for older persons who have less feeling in their fingers because it goes at warp speed. I have gotten used to it but not without a lot of practice. The most difficult remote is the one for the sound bar. It is dark grey with no lines. Having said that i would have to say that the picture and sound quality are amazing. This is the reason for the four star rating.

I have had my new curved tv 55′ (2020 model) over a week. I read the reviews for the 2019 model and the 2020 model and decided i wanted the latest. It was obvious to me that the remotes for the two model years are different and the latest is very sleek and is curved underneath for very easy hand holding. The volume button confused me and i figured it out by a you-tube channel where the woman spoke japanese, but was still easy for me to understand. Otherwise the remotes it’s a breeze. I no longer need for my roku any longer so it will be moved to another tv in a different room. This tv has it all bundled inside and is displayed on the home screen after you start up the tv. Yabadabadoooothe curved screen does make a subtle difference in viewing. I feel like i am in the movie or in a nice theater watching it. There is very little glare and i have a lot of low lighting in the room. Actually less glare than my old sony and the other tv’s in the house. A lot of people in reviews noted that their screen was cracked when delivered. I finally understood that the cracked screen was actually inside and not necessarily the exterior glass ( i could be wrong on that) so i was very nervous on opening my box and having to attach the legs.

I have wanted to try the curved screen tv samsung has & fried tv last week, so i ordered the samsung 65′ to replace my 65′ lg flat screen (2 yrs old). . And i have to tell you i wish i had gotten the 55′. This thing is prolly 10′ bigger than the lg/ huge- so. By the time i got the legs on the bottom, realised it would no longer fit on my corner stand by about 2′ both sides/ so i had to order the back stand which fits with a mechanism used for the wall hanging/ a stand with narrower flat stand. So its been an unexpected, but pleasing experience (other than the rotten samsung ‘smart’ remote , not letting me easily set up my cable/ kept taking me to samsung tv app- it was horrible = but my cable company helped / & after 40 min got out of that & my regular cable playing on the tv). I can’t say enough good things about how brilliant the picture is. But this tv is worth it/ for the curved effect & great pic/ (i would just get the 55′ next time- it stands out in the corner now, as huge as it is).

I really believe you get what you pay for, and samsung always produces best quality tvs. I was going to get a sony 4k uhd which obviously more expensive, but i’m very content with samsung. I might get the same picture quality with lg, vizio, or other brands, but i prefer samsung all the way. Compare to my other vizio 60′ 4k, this samsung 55” 4k uhd produces much better picture quality. The tv came by ups one day early. Everything was in the box, including the batteries for the remote. No crack on the screens or missing pixels as others reported. All you need is a phillip screwdriver to screw the buttom support. I have a samsung soundbar and the tv automatically recognized it. Because they are the same brand, i only use the tv remote to operate the soundbar.

The remote is so narrow – i go to click the right cursor and i hit the middle instead. I don’t have large finger and i’m not clumsy. The bottom screen icons are to small. Add a app and you have to navigate past 10 pre installed apps, each time to use it. Some apps i had great difficulty installing, i had to turn off tv for 10 mins. Megallentv proved impossible to get as an app. It felt like a dumb tv and not a smart one. I would of sent the tv back but i figured a workaround. I paid $60 for the amazon firestick 4k and used that instead of samsung preinstalled stuff and the stupid remote.
