    Great stuff.

    5/5
    This Samsung TV is a great product I would not hesitate to buy it again. I found it extremely easy to install and set up.

    Item not as pictured

    3/5
    chose this over Sony because of the stand which looked very robust rather than some of the flimsy 2 leg versions . checked the TV at manufacturers website and yes it had that robust stand . on arrival ... it had no robust stand just 2 legs . nothing like the pictures at AO or Samsung . thats deceptive
    phil grimes

    A great TV

    5/5
    Great tv well worth buying AO service was brilliant again too. Only negative is that you can't record to an external USB stick or drive. You can only schedule 1 day no series link available and you can't scroll pass 24hrs.

    Great TV but you can't record any channels

    3/5
    I recently upgraded to this TV from a Sony model that had ghosting on the screen. I have several Samsung products and another TV from Samsung in the bedroom, so I was confident that this would be a good choice. The next-day delivery was free, and as always, the AO drivers were great. Setting up the TV was easy, and the picture quality and sound are fantastic. The interface is a bit of a pain, but you do get used to it. However, I was disappointed to find out that I couldn't record onto a USB stick or an HDD drive like I could with our previous Sony TV, even though there's a dedicated USB port for recording. It's not possible to even view shows past 1 day. Normally, you can browse the guide and schedule any program up to 7 days in advance, but for some unknown reason, Samsung hasn't allowed this. While I understand that many people now use streaming services, there are still times when you might want to record a program to watch later. It seems like the only solution is to buy a separate set-top box to save recordings to. This wasn't what I wanted at all, and if I had known about this limitation before purchasing, I would have been willing to spend a bit more for a TV with built-in recording capabilities. It's frustrating that the product description doesn't mention the inability to save live channels to an external drive; it only states that you can read from it. I expected better from such a big brand.

      We can collect your old TV and take it away for recycling. Our experts will recycle it safely and responsibly in our state-of-the-art facility.

      The cost of our Remove & Recycle service goes towards safely transporting the product to our recycling plant. Under the WEEE regulations, recycling costs are primarily covered by the product manufacturer.

      Also, while we’re picking up your appliance, if you’ve got any smaller kitchen electricals that need recycling – such as kettles, toasters or blenders – we’ll happily take those away too at no extra charge. Just pass them to your driver when we’re picking up your larger appliance.
