[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really wanted to love this TV however, after only had it for a few weeks, I have to give it a low rating. It has a lot of lag time, especially when turning it on it freezes often I have to turn it back on and off a lot of glitches. I would not recommend this television.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi STEPHO915,
We appreciate your feedback regarding your U8000H TV’s performance. If you're experiencing slow apps, freezing, or lag in general response time, try the following steps:
1. Check for firmware updates – Keeping your TV up to date can resolve many performance issues: Home > left directional key > Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now 2. Run Device Care – This tool checks system memory, frees up cached data, and closes background apps that could be slowing things down: Home > left directional key > Settings > Support > Device Care > Start Device Care 3. Cold boot your TV – With the TV powered on, press and hold the Power button on your remote for 5+ seconds until the TV restarts. This helps refresh the system.
If you're still noticing performance issues after these steps, please contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (8AM – 9PM EST Mon – Fri, 8AM – 6PM Sat – Sun). You can also connect with a LiveChat agent via the ‘Support’ link on our website.
This is a nice tv. The picture is great. It doesn’t have enough connection opportunities for us. We create and play a lot of material. Can’t even connect our sound system. Didn’t even look when we bought it because in the past they have many ports. We will figure out a way around it but it was disappointing. I believe it is because most people stream? Who knows. Otherwise good.
Love this Smart TV! Needed an upgrade from an old smart tv to a dependable one for our combo bedroom art studio space and this Samsung is the best! Easy to setup. Easy to get our streaming apps dowloaded. We are in our 70's and it can be scarey upgrading, but this was painless and very successful!
This brand was recommended by my brother. He has a Samsung for 11 flawless yrs. The price was good and my research proved helpful. The remote is small and am not used to it yet but the sound and picture are excellent.
The interface is a little more confusing than earlier Samsung TV's I own. It does keep freezing and at times refuses to restart.
