Samsung 85-Inch Class Crystal UHD U8000F 4K Smart TV (2025 Model) Endless Free Content, Crystal Processor 4K, MetalStream Design, Knox Security, Alexa Built-in

I had TV envy when my neighbor set up an outdoor TV. I thought I would buy a cheap new TV since it was outside. I bought a cheap new LG brought it home to set up. Could not figure out how to set it up. Tried and tried and finally took it back. Now is the time to say I'm a Samsung girl. Why didn't I buy a Samsung in the first place? Did buy a Samsung. Setting up was a breeze. Now I have a patio TV. Happy! Done!

** ★★★★☆ 5-Star Review**I recently upgraded to the Samsung 43-Inch Class Crystal UHD U8000F (2025), and overall, it's been a solid leap forward from my old HD set.What I Love:Crisp 4K visuals and vibrant colors powered by the Crystal Processor 4K, offering lifelike upscaling even for non-4K content.Elegant MetalStream design with a slim bezel that looks modern and minimal—great aesthetic touch.Robust smart features via Tizen OS: easy access to loads of apps and thousands of free streaming channels through Samsung TV Plus.Built-in Knox Security for added peace of mind, helping protect my personal data on this connected device.Room for Improvement:The 60 Hz refresh rate isn’t ideal for serious gamers; casual plays are fine but don’t expect motion smoothness like on premium models.Picture contrast and brightness aren’t the deepest—dark scenes, especially in bright rooms, look a bit washed out compared to VA-panel or OLED TVs.Built-in speakers are just average—adding a soundbar makes a world of difference for richer audio.Bottom Line:If you want a stylish, user-friendly 4K TV with strong smart features at a budget price, this is a great fit. It’s not for cinematic contrast lovers or hardcore gamers, but for everyday streaming, shows, movies, and casual gaming, it delivers exceptional value.

Picture is worth 5 stars. Learning curve is worth 2 stars. Too much knowledge of set-up symbols is expected by Samsung unless you are an electronics geek. I had to live chat with a Samsung rep to finalize my set-up. The rep explained what the symbols meant and what the next step would be. Getting this help was surprisingly easy and very successful.HDMI cables plug in back of TV almost in the center near the bottom section, not on the end of TV. This is fine if you place the TV on a surface using the plastic feet supplied and can easily get to the back.Not so fine if you wall mount the TV and cannot so easily see the back of the TV. Plug in all the cables before you wall mount the set and hope you don't have to change a cable, especially if your set is 55" or bigger, and your wall mount bracket places the TV near the wall.

I'm torn between giving this tv 3 or 3.5 but half stars are not an option so 3 it is.Price value - a lot of good tv from a proven brand. 75" UHD under $700 before taxes and shipping is 5 star worth!Picture quality - because Samsung includes some nice screen colonization presets you will be happy with an UHD model. Honestly I notice most people don't notice if you have a QLED or OLED screen. Doesn't matter if the refresh rate isn't good. Samsung has good refresh rates just remember every thing you watch isn't the best option for the presets. 4 starsSet-up - This is where Samsung fails miserably and I know why they chose to do it but not everyone will like it. The mandatory QR Code set-up is unnecessary. People want to simple plug in their game system or external streaming devices and enjoy themselves. But no Samsung wants you to have an account under the guise of syncing all of your other Samsung gadgets. I have no need for my watch nor my phone to be synced to my tv. No optical audio output is a bad move as well. You will lose some sound features because of this. TOO INTRUSIVE! .25 StarOperating System - well it's a "smart" tv so it does have an OS. It can be a bit sluggish. Compared to my 85" Samsung OLED the speed is noticeable but not painful. It does have preset app option that gets imported automatically from your other Samsung TV if you choose to do that. Convenient but still intrusive as all my TVs in my home are used for separate viewing experiences. 4 starsSound - again this is not a deal breaker but it's to be considered. The speakers are not bad and most brands don't put a lot of effort into this due chasis thickness and most people will use a sound bar. I highly suggest you get a sound bar it only allows Bluetooth connection to do it. 2.5 starsBeware when ordering this TV via Amazon because I found out the hard way by not reading enough of the comments. This tv is often delivered damaged. Mine was not damaged via delivery but it was repackaged damaged and sold to me. Mind boggling! The screen was cracked but the box was intact. Meaning the tv was intentionally resold damaged. It had red sticker tags on it and was missing the top screen support corner brackets. I did not want a refund. I wanted a replacement and had to sit on the phone for a bit to get that done. They gave me a bit of a run around and pushing for me to get a refund and I had to elevate the issue.Overall Im happy with the purchase but do your due diligence with this one.

This TV replaced a 2016 LG 4k that was 65". It's been a few weeks and every time I turn it on I'm shocked how good the picture is.A couple things other than the picture quality. Samsung did a good job making the set-up quick and easy. Our original plan was to buy a new TV at Costco but decided to order from Amazon because of the included in home delivery/set-up. They even hauled away the box.

The first Samsung TV I bought from Amazon was a Qled It was $150 more than this TV The speakers were terrible Could not get the adjustments tuned in with my devices and my computer So I sent it back and got this TV It's cheaper everything simpler I bought me a voice remote for it It works perfect i've got everything set up so easy with this TV and it comes with so much free stuff movies and TV shows and live TV to watch like 700 live TV channels for free and it comes with a lot of apps that most TV's do not have I would recommend this Samsung TV to anyone It's badass thank you
