Great TV! Sound needs to be improved though.

published

English isn’t my first language so please no hate. The TV is great, i love the video and the quality that TV does provide. The sound may need improvement although. I have a speaker plug in for the TV so sound isn’t an issue, yet it sometimes echoes meaning that it is a bit annoying sometimes when it gets accidentally turned up. The video quality is very good and i have not seen a better TV screen anywhere else that is affordable. Very good TV do like it a lot. Thank you Samsung!

Sensational picture quality, easy to navigate

published

We purchased two 65inch Samsung QLED TV's for $1800 each from Harvey Norman. The TV is a smart TV with all the latest technology. The installation of the TV was simply and easy with purchase of a wall mount kit (not included with the TV) making the job a breeze. We connected the TV to a hardwired NBN connection and basically just had to turn the TV on, register the product and the smart TV did the rest. Picture quality is superb, with easy navigation of the remote to all the various apps and channels. If I was to have the slightest negative it would be that the sound could be better... It's good, but I did expect that with a TV of this quality that the sound could be improved particularly when watching movies.

Great picture quality but sound not great

published

Great TV for picture quality. My only negative on this tv is that the sound is not great. I never felt the need before to look at additional sounds options but with this tv I have been looking at getting a sound bar. If I can describe the sound, it’s like a hollow tube sound. All other areas are good, easy to setup. All HDMI ports are on the back. Very simple tv remote consisting of around 10 buttons, which actually needs a bit of getting use to. Luckily I had my previous Samsung remote which also works!

Purchased in June 2021 for $900.

Great Cinematic Experience

published

Variety of apps that could be used which are pre installed. Easy operation of the remote except on its voice sensor. It doesn't sense much. Good and smooth wireless/ bluetooth connectivity. It comes with all needed ports. Worth the bucks!

Very good TV and smart functions

published

I love the size and clarity. It has good sound and pictures with easy remote control for modern use. the connectivity with wifi is responsive. The remote control can be a bigger and easy to follow functions. I dont recommend this hi tech remote control for seniors as it can be complicated to use. But apart from this for my younger generations, its breeze for them. Indeed a smart TV and price point.

Awesome Carolyn. Do you know why ppl who dont know the answer to question feel compelled to say so?

Hi Neil. It is a smart tv and you need a Samsung account to link it. I created one when I bought it. Not sure of the answer about Google TV as I’m an Apple user and it still links to screen mirror.
I hope this is helpful
