BEST UHD TV AVAILABLE - EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE 2014 MODEL

Comments about UN60HU8550 - 60-Inch Ultra HD 4K Smart 3D TV Wi-Fi Clear Motion Rate 1200

Pros: Amazing picture, familiar functionality, minimal design, small bezel, BEST TV of 2014 in my opinion. I would buy one of these over a 2015 model any day and forget the 2013 Samsung UHD model requiring the Evolution Kit that weighs about 70 pounds - this is a much better set. Cons: The stand is not all that great to look at and the tv is flimsy on the stand. Other thoughts: Wish this set had full array dimming not just computer enhanced micro edge dimming

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

A bundle of disappointment

Comments about UN55HU8550 - 55 inch 4K 3D Smart Ultra HDTV Clear Motion Rate 1200

Pros: Large screen, sleek design, competitively priced. Cons: Hard to adjust color and picture quality. Setting defaults back to standard for no aparent reason even after setting it in dynamic. Poor quality as demonstrated by defective product that Samsung refuses to replace. A shaded line appears on screen indicative of burned out pannel. Other thoughts: I have been having problems with image quality from the beginning. Two weeks after receiving it, a shaded gray line appeared on the right side of the display. I have exhausted all recommended troubleshooting by myself and with Samsung technician logging remotely, including resetting to factory default thereby losing all settings, unplugging all connected devises and power, etc.. They offer no solution, except to say one of their techs will look at it. Even to get to this point, it took a week to hear back from Samsung after reporting the problem. They then said they will repair it by sending one of their technicians, but will not replace it even though it has been less than a month since purchasing the TV. Basically even in the best case scenario where they repair and fix the problem, it will be after much aggravation and will end up with a refurbished TV that I paid full price for. The tech is actually not even a Samsung technician, but someone from an independent electronics shop, which is an authorized Samsung repair facility. Now they inform me, not by calling me back, but when I call them back to ask a status update, that they have ordered apart but it is back ordered with no known ETA. They were able to order the part by looking at a picture I sent them and description I said, indicating this is a common and known problem. This is my third Samsung flat screen TV, one of which is still working, and one is dead after a year and half. I never knew how unresponsive a seemingly reputable company such as Samsung could be. They have in this TV a looser quality and a looser customer service operation that staffed with experts in road blocking than satisfying their customers. Any decent company with a clearly defective brand new product would have been better served replacing it, but not Samsung.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
