One might think that over time, software developers would learn to make their software increasingly intuitive. You would be wrong. While this TV has a beautiful display, the WebOS software is confusing and unintuitive. I should not have to read a manual to figure out how to add an app, but here I am looking for the manual on the site, so I thought I'd stop by and write a review about my experience. Roku forever!

Great picture. Not user friendly, at least for us “mature” folks. Would gladly trade for something easier to operate cause it’s a pain in the tail. Very frustrating.
I spent 3 days trying to connect my NAS including contacting Samsung who was totally worthless The prime thing I needed to know was how to install DS Video on the TV Instructions for installing other Apps are non existent As far as setting up the NAS to talk to DS Video Synology was very helpful Funny my 2 other Samsung TVs worked just fine without DS Video (that was the primary reason I bought this TV) But back to the TV - the picture is GREAT Most of the included apps I can do without but thanks for forcing them on me - now I just need to DELETE most of them
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this tv as a early Christmas gift for myself. I love this TV. I watch a lot of sports and movies and this TV excels in color, viewing angles and with menus that are easy to figure out. I hooked the TV to a soundbar and I'm very happy with the purchase. The TV has bluetooth so headphones can easy be connected for anyone who is hard of hearing or for people who don't want to disturb anyone close by. I consider the tv a great deal for anyone looking for a new TV.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love soccer games and its incredible the experience with this.

It has physical set up instructions, but that's all. I figured I'd plug it it (to what?) and see what it did. After 2 days I got logged in to netflix, not without frustration at every stip. It says it has instructions, but I can't find them. I tried to put no stars, but it says stars are required. so I put one, possibly, when I clicked the right star it said I had selected 5. Apparently the survey was designed by the same people that did the TV.
