Good TV - Limited Features
on December 4, 2014

I purchased this model and then realized it had pretty limited features. It's just a basic TV with tuner. I returned it and for just $30 more, got the same TV but with full network and smartTV functionality. Spend the extra $30 and get the Samsung UN24H4500AFXZA. That being said, this is still a good TV and value if you know you will never need network or smartTV functionality.

Great Value - Great Quality
on December 2, 2014

Great value is based on the price I paid on Black Friday weekend. I'm a Sony guy but Samsung has always been my second choice. So far I am very happy with this TV. Those who give it 1-2 stars must be super hard to please or have a defective unit.
Boot up time is fine but obviously WiFi takes a while to negotiate a connection. No big deal. Contrary to another review, there's a "Source" button right on the remote to choose from alternate sources, like network storage devices. Picture quality is excellent. Features are great. I went with Samsung this time because they allow a variety of streaming formats. It streams .MP4's and other formats (supposedly even .MKV's) directly from a network drive if your files meet the right video and audio codec specs. Can't do that on a Sony. I'm still working on nailing down the best combination of settings in Handbrake.
Netflix works fine. Wifi is good. Over the air tuner is good. Chanel changes are picked up quickly, even on not-so-strong stations. My only complaint is that for over the air tuning, it doesn't offer you a signal meter to help with fine tuning of the antenna when adding weak channels manually. I haven't yet found how to manually input an over the air channel number in the manual channel edit screen, but it must be there somewhere. It has a variety of connection options, even component video for older receiver compatibility.
I'd buy this one again if I needed another small TV. My actual rating would be 4.5 stars due to the shortcomings mentioned but that wasn't an option and it deserves more than 4. This was the best TV in its size and price range. You can't go wrong.

How is this a smart tv? No mention of apps?

It is not a smart TV. There is no network connectivity or apps. For $30 more you can get the same TV with hard wire and WiFi connectivity AND all the basic smart TV apps you would expect. Look for model UN24H4500AFXZA.

No. This is just a basic TV with tuner. No smart TV or network connectivity. For $30 more you can get all that with the Samsung UN24H4500AFXZA.
