Solid “meh” - 3/5 stars

Bought this for my mom. Runs really slow and the remote has difficulty connecting. Started out ok - now it’s annoying at best. Remote is not really intuitive for an elderly person - and some of the controls are not clearly marked for even a “not elderly” person. It works, picture is nice. Would possibly set this up with a Roku or some other, better interface. Installed User interface is… odd at best. Solid 3-5 stars. Not sure if I’d buy again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Rev1313,
We appreciate your feedback on the response time, and for optimal performance, we ask that you please ensure you've got the latest firmware version installed on your TV. You can check this by going to Home > Menu > Settings > Support > Software Update.
You may also want to further optimize performance with the self-diagnostic tool, which checks memory, frees up unused cached memory, and closes background apps. Go to: Home > Menu > Settings > Support > Device Care > Start Device Care
Please know that many of the buttons on your remote have multiple functions. For example, the Volume button is moved UP/DOWN to adjust the volume, and to MUTE the sound; you need to PRESS it in. If that same button is pressed for more than 1 second, the Accessibility Shortcuts appear. You can find more information regarding the remote on pages 22-24 of the full user manual.
If you or your mom ever have questions or need help, Samsung is here for you! Give us a call at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8 AM - 12 AM EST, seven days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.
It’s ok only. Remote is a joke. Operation is confusing. Not my favorite tv by any means. Samsung tv plus is helpful. Sound isn’t great. Antenna feature noes pick up all local channels.

I purchased this tv during Black Friday. I was somewhat disappointed because the picture seemed dark and the volume has to be turned up past 55-60 to hear the broadcast. I have owned Samsung tvs in the past but never had this kind of problem. I have managed to make some adjustments to make things tolerable.
