Samsung 43-Inch Class QLED Q8F 4K UHD Smart TV (2025 Model) Q4 AI Processor, 100% Color Volume with Quantum Dot, AirSlim Design, Endless Free Content, Samsung Vision AI, Alexa Built-in

I liked this model of Samsung Television so much that I ordered a second one. The 2025 Model has AI built in, so it took a little while to get used to the newer features. It is the right size, the right quality of display, and the right features for our household. The apps make accessing our favorite streaming services and/or features convenient. The display looks great from any angle and in any lighting conditions. Might repurchase this exact model if this one ever wears out (which probably will not happen for a while).

The best image quality, easy to use and install. The remote control is simple and easy to use. I like the sound that it is clear.

Quality of picture screen is incredible. Details of everything; clarity of color and line; brightness can be controlled to give you several options - color can be as dynamic as you'd like. We bought this during Black Friday; so the price was absolutely right. The reputation of Samsung is solid; and we hope this will prove to be true with this as well. We do not use the sound from the television itself; so I cannot speak to this - we have a sound bar. We don't notice any sort of distortion when viewing the screen from various angles - color and picture stay true. CONS: the remote control is very slim; which is nice - but for anyone who may have trouble reading VERY small print - this could be a problem. Also; if you use another remote for streaming - which is often recommended - the remotes do not necessarily 'talk to each other' - and we have noticed the 'sound control' on the Samsung remote is a bit wonky. Using all the bells and whistles provided by the programmed purchase can be a bit of a chore - I am still trying to understand how to Cast pictures stored on Google; and then - where to find it after I have already 'found it' - sometimes then, navigating the entire system is challenging. Most people; I realize simply have a few items; apps - etc. they regularly use and so many of the 'extras' go unused. Because my husband and I are not tech-nerds; I am pretty certain we don't use all of this new televisions capabilities. But for the quality of picture alone - we are happy with this purchase. Of course; all the user manuals and such are online; which really turns into an AI 'chat' and then....well; it's rather a bust - really no humans to talk to anymore. But we'd recommend this to others based on upgrading to a quality screen.

The tv itself is very good. Lots of options to watch all your channels, streaming, accessories. The most aggravation comes from the remote. It is so extremely sensitive that even breathing hard near it changes the channel, puts up a random menu, or goes to the home screen. You have to start again to get back to where you are/were. If you are accustom to having the remote live on the couch with you, you will need to break that habit. It will change what you’re watching by just the lightest tap of your leg or hand. It is a small remote and easy to lose. So when you do accidentally change where you were, you have to start the search for the small remote. I’m afraid that all new Samsung TVs will have this new remote so it’s not just this TV. Like I said, the TV is great. Clear picture, syncs well to the sound bar, easy set up and lightweight. And a great price! A good buy!

Just had this set delivered and unpacked.. I chose the delivery and unpacking option, which was convenient (and only required perhaps, a solid twenty minutes). Still getting aclimated to this model (particularly since settings are quite a bit different than my older model, which was a 46 inch Samsung. 50 inch was just a bit more suitable for my needs than going with a slightly larger 55 inch model. Colors look considerably better (lol, and they should right?), in comparison to my previous LED model (which I ran continuously, without experiencing any hiccups other than my allowing a screen burn to work itself in). It will require a day or two to get accustomed to the settings layout, obviously, but thus far, I'm quite satisfied overall. Disappointed however, with the remote, because I got used to the luxury of pressing one button to switch back to a previous channel, which this solar cell remote doesn't support (and yes, I've researched all kinds of online 'so-called' solutions to this which haven't worked). No problem with hooking up the Samsung soundbar (that I had purchased for my previous Samsung TV, roughly 5-6 years back) and it works just fine. Price wise, I am comfortable with what I paid and quite glad I took the time to look over a couple dozen similar models (some which were more alluring, but cost considerably more). So far, so good. Update: It's been a couple months now and I'm still very much liking this purchase. This certainly improves (considerably), over my previous 46 inch Samsung tv, making watching television more enjoyable. Still happy with my purchase decision. Took several days to get accustomed to the various settings, which differed from my older Samsung, but that's to be expected. Too bad the remote doesn't have a previous channel button that my previous tv remote had, but it is what it is. I upgraded my older Samsung sound bar to the Q600F and placed it on my electric fireplace directly in front of my tv. Barely had room, but it fits. Unfortunately, the sound bar was just high enough that it interfered with my tv remote. So, I purchased the AX WABER Universal TV Stand (AX10TB02), which was priced nicely, is certainly sturdy to the feel, well packaged and fully capable of holding several size tvs. Installing this stand appears simple and straight forward (you'll need a Phillips head screw driver however). I paused on installing the tv stand because I noted that the two sets of holes on the back of the tv (where you mount the stand's brackets which then attach to the stand's legs), just didn't seem wide enough apart. The tv is roughly 43 inches across yet one pair holes was 16 1/2 inches from the left edge of the tv while the other side was 18 1/2 inches in from the other edge. The spacing between both sets of holes is only 8 1/2 inches apart, which seems kind of odd. One would think that the placement of those holes would have been further apart (i.e. 10 1/2 to 12 inches or so). Though the weight of the tv isn't an issue, the fact that the legs on my tv stand would only be 8 1/2 inches apart (given the width of the tv), kind of raises an eyebrow. The tv's rear side is flat, so why Samsung didn't space the rear holes wider apart seems a tiny bit puzzling. They may do the job as intended, but it still seems odd. In the meantime, I set the tv on a riser to resolve the issue where my soundbar was interfering with my tv remote. Although the riser is 7 inches high (about three inches higher than what I needed), it works. Still very much recommend this tv (and the AX WABER TV Stand (AX10TB02)), as well. update number 2: Let's face it, most of us don't exactly focus our tv purchase decisions on where the mounting holes on the back of a tv are. Granted, some folks may do so, but most folks, including me, don't. Although I prefer to install the AX Waber tv top stand (which I previously mentioned), I only held off doing so because Samsung chose to space the mounting holes on the back of the tv only 8.5 inches apart. I attached a photo here, laying down a couple pencils to give you an idea where Samsung's rear sets of holes are located. Visually, it just seems odd that Samsung would space those rear side holes only 8.5 inches apart (as opposed to something like 12-14 inches apart in view of the tv's width). It's only my personal observation, but 8.5 inches apart just doesn't exactly inspire an abundance of confidence in mounting a tv top type stand. It may work fine to attach my stand to it, but visually, that 8.5 inch distance still leaves a tiny bit of doubt. Overall, I still enjoy the tv (and my Samsung Q600F soundbar), however. While Samsung's standard tv legs are nicely and proportionately spaced out, which is great for most display needs, Samsung didn't apply that same logic to spacing out the rear side mounting holes on this tv (in my opinion). Something that some customers might consider.

I got this TV during prime day for $100 off the normal price. I'm not one to watch a lot of TV, but I have to say that what little I do watch is crisp, clean, and enjoyable. Although I measured correctly and it fit easily in the space where it needs to go, it surprised me with its size. What I had not expected was the weight, which made it not only awkward but was a little nerve-wracking to remove from the packaging.. Primarily, for fear of dropping it and busting the screen. I was forced to have someone else remove it from its box, and attach it to the stand I bought to hold it. The legs that are sent with the product are pretty much worthless. I doubt they would keep the TV erect even at the smallest bump or jostling of whatever piece of furniture you set it up on. While I think this TV is capable of being hung on the wall, I wasn't comfortable putting anything of this size on the wall for fear of it becoming dislodged and crashing to the floor. Some reviews mentioned the remote being a problem, I did not find it difficult to turn it over and let the lamp at the side of the couch keep it charged. However I think I might invest in a generic remote control unit to operate it. There are a couple of news channels you can get without cable, but I didn't find them useful. The TV also connects you to free movies, but they have ads, and the time invested doesn't make the shows really worth watching. It's easy to use the buttons on the remote control to get directly to Netflix, Amazon's prime video, and Samsung's movie library. You can also install the remote on your smartphone, but I found that four more awkward to use than the remote that comes with the TV. The operation of the menu on the TV was a a slight adjustment for me, because the TV I had been using was 15 years old, so the difference between the two was like night and day. Overall I am delighted with my purchase, and I highly recommend this product well worth the money. Even if you aren't able to get it on sale, I think that the extra money still makes it a great bargain.

Pleased with my purchase of the Samsung Q8F tv and separate heavy duty swivel mount. Picture and sound are very clear. Learning to program the opening menu and manipulating the remote control buttons can be confusing especially if upgrading from a different tv brand. Needed to contact Samsung customer support who walked me thru getting a previously programmed Firestick set up on the new Home Screen. Once favorites set-up and Firestick installed, was good to go. Was very pleased with the walk thru assistance from Samsung’s customer service support.

I decided it was time to replace my 20 year old Sony 52" TV, and upgrade to today's smart TV technology. As with most consumer electronics, the quality and features continually advance at any given price point. No exception here...I paid hundreds less for this Samsung 55" smart TV than I did for that Sony 20 years ago. And what a difference in quality, resolution, colors, and overall capability...wonderful and wondrous to behold. This is "only" a mid-range Samsung, but it is still impressive. My one nit pick was with the sound...it was seriously lacking in depth and richness...i.e., it was just adequate for watching the news, or such. I solved that with an add-on Samsung sound bar. Now the sound matches the picture in quality. But even with the basic sound, you won't go wrong with this one...and you can always add that sound bar (and it doesn't HAVE to be a Samsung, either).
