Good TV, non-techie can manage the tech
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This review is for someone who is only partly competent and confident with cloud based everything. :) Overall, I really like the TV. It replaced a 5 year old 60” Vizio and although I didn’t notice a huge ah-ha! difference in picture quality, it sure made navigating the apps I feel forced to use a ton easier. Delivery was awesome. Geek squad called, brought it in, gone in two minutes. Unpacking was easy with the pre-cut box. I feel like I’m falling farther behind every day in being able to adapt to new technology, but I found setup to be simple. I still wish I had a cable box and everything in one place, but we went with AT&T and the Samsung remote is compatible with their service. As for the remote - meh. Can’t get used to it. I really do not like the tiny little buttons placed at the bottom of the remote for fast forward, pause, etc, and I can’t see where I am as I fast forward so end up just watching commercials. (Some of this may be an AT&T issue so sorry for not knowing the difference). I also submitted formal feedback requesting a bright box around the app you have selected because you just can’t see which one you are on as you scroll through them. Look at the photo and see if you can. Also can’t figure out how to delete apps you don’t use. It was easy to figure out how to turn on closed captioning but I can’t figure out how to make it show when watching via the AT&T app, but like I said, me and technology... Anyway, I got a great buy. Really a Best Buy:) so given I’d expect to have similar issue with any brand Of smart TV, overall I’m very satisfied. Especially since I never went to compare products in the store. If I could do it over I’d spend the extra $200 on the next size up. (Last thing - be sure to read the Samsung privacy disclosures re: recording devices)

Keep having network connection error
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a nice quality TV. The size is great and the picture quality is nice but I keep having to reset the TV or unplug the TV to connect to WiFi again! Anyone else have that problem? My internet is perfectly fine and the router literally sits under the tv so I’m at a loss on how to get it to stay connected. It’s an annoyance to unplug my tv EVERYDAY. I might have to use a fire stick again which totally defeated the purposes of buying a “smart tv”. Now I kind of regret not going with an LG. So beware if you buy a Samsung tv, I’ve been on Samsung forums all morning and it looks like this is a ongoing common defect with their TVs of connecting to WiFi’s.

Posted .LCvaaj:
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung TU6980 TV and for your review. I am very sorry that you are experiencing network connection issues.
You may want to go through these steps to check your network connection:
1) Check the distance between the TV and your modem or access point. The distance should not exceed 50 ft. (15.2 m).
2) Minimize interference by not using or turning off wireless devices. Also, verify that there are no obstacles between the TV and the modem or access point. (WiFi strength can be decreased by appliances, cordless phones, stone walls/fireplaces, etc.)
3) Perform a network test to check if there is a network problem.
Press the Home button on your remote. Navigate to Settings > Support > Device Care > Self Diagnosis> Smart Hub Connection Test
4) Try a cold reboot of your TV by pressing and holding the power button for 5+ seconds until the TV turns off and on again.
5) Please also be sure you have the latest firmware update. You may want to enable automatic updates for convenience. Select Settings > Support > Software Update, then select Auto Update.

Best t.v for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took advantage of the early Black Friday special pricing. Hands down best t.v for the price. Had to adjust picture settings to maximize picture quality while while watching sports and movies. My advice is to turn off “soap opera effect” setting while watching a movie and turn it back on while watching live sports, huge difference for both. I also added accent led lights to back of the t.v to give it an extra touch. The remote takes a bit to get used and navigate but practice makes perfect. Overall satisfied with my purchase.

Sweet Deal
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The TV is a Great buy; especially at the the price I paid. The picture quality is excellent and no problems since I purchased it a month ago. Getting my Verizon FIOS TV remotes to work was a challenge, but somebody posted a good guide on the internet to get them working properly. At 54 lbs, I chose to get an upright stand that works on my current 36" TV stand Rfiver Universal Swivel TV Stand Tabletop TV Stand Base for Most 40-80 inch TVs, Height Adjustable with Tempered Glass Base and Wire Management, VESA 600x400mm, Black.....Perfect

Good low end tv
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I was happy with this tv. Even though this was the lowest end model it still had a great picture. I had to play around with the picture settings a very long time to get it perfect but overall the picture was very clear and I haven't tried 4k yet. The down side is there is only 2 hdmi inputs and one audio output so your hookups are very limited. One cable box and one 4k player and that's it. If you want a video game on top of that your out of luck unless you buy a hdmi switch but most of the ones you can buy work like cr##p. The tv sound is decent sounds good. There is an equalizer but I use a surround system. I bought it for black Friday so the price was very good for this tv. Normally about a $800 tv I got it for $600 including taxes. I've only had it for a few weeks so there is no long term information

Love It!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Instead of buying more expensive TV's and keeping it for 10 years ,we instead prefer to grab a black Friday special every 3 years, and with that we go up in size little by little. This replaced a 3 year old 58 4k which still worked like new. Samsung never disappoints on these Best Buy Exclusives. Picture quality excellent, sound quality excellent, well made and aesthetically pleasing. I actually like this remote better than any of the previous models. And of course the Black Friday price tag is what guarantees the purchase. Over the years we have outfitted 4 bedrooms, a living room and a enclosed patio, all sporting Samsung's. One remote works in any room. Our delivery was scheduled between 7AM and 1PM . Delivery showed up at 6:30 AM. I'm not complaining , we were thinking about that TV in our sleep.

Great Deal!! Prime Day Winner, Best-Buy!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are very pleased with our purchase!! What a Deal!! Easy Set up(for my Hubby :D )!! He said to mention only 2 HDMI ports so you may need to buy a HDMI Splitter for more ports. Depending on what you hook up to the TV like Video game system, DVD player, Tuner etc.. The TV specs clearly state 2 HDMI ports..just reiterating it! Without this Awesome deal we wouldn't be able to afford a 70" 4k Smart TV!!

Q: QuestionNo one on phone or in store knew the answer. What is the main difference between the TU6980 (Sku 6428508) and NU6900 (Sku 6395915)? I understand they are both 6 series and one has a "crystal" processer. Which is better & Why?
Asked by JBrains.
- A:Answer Hi there! The NU6900 is a carryover 6 Series holiday model from 2018. The TU6980 is a 6 Series holiday model for 2020. The TU6980 features Samsung's Crystal Display for brilliant colors and exceptionally crisp, vivid images. Its Crystal 4K Processor further brings impressive clarity to all your content while upscaling everything you watch to stunning 4K definition, no matter the source. The TU6980 is Bluetooth enabled, whereas the NU6900 is not Bluetooth enabled. ^Gina

Q: QuestionIt says in the specs the legs are adjustable. Is this truly the case or are they stationery and cannot be adjusted to a smaller size?
Asked by Fran.
- A:Answer Hi, Can you please share the TV Stand width. Was thinking to buy TV and TV Table but not sure the width. Thanks

Q: QuestionThe description says that you can't screen mirror to this tv. On the other hand a rep has said that you can cast your android phones screen onto the tv using an app. Can you 100% cast your android phones screen onto the TV using the app?
Asked by JayP.
- A:Answer My Hubby has a Samsung Galaxy S8 and he screen mirrored to this TV. That is the first thing he was super excited about. For Apple phones there is a IOS App. I have an Apple but I haven't tried it on the TV yet. I have a Plus screen on my phone. It's not necessary for me personally to use the feature. Hope this somewhat helps

Q: QuestionDoes the TV have an HDMI-Arc port for connecting a soundbar? Or would I have to use an optical cable?
Asked by amandaa.
- A:Answer I just bought one a week ago. i hooked up my stereo through the ARC which is HDMI 1. It also has a eARC capable. In fact when hooking up the ARC, make sure you do not select eARC from the Sound setup unless you do have eARC sound device. I had not notice the "e" in eARC and took me a while to trouble shoot as i was not getting any sound at first :-)
