SAMSUNG 50-Inch Class Crystal UHD 4K DU7200 Series HDR Smart TV w/Object Tracking Sound Lite, PurColor, Motion Xcelerator, Mega Contrast, Q-Symphony (UN50DU7200, 2024 Model)

This Samsung TV has exceeded expectations. The 4K picture quality is crisp and vibrant, and the sound is surprisingly clear even without a soundbar. It's fast, easy to navigate, and perfect for streaming or gaming.Setup was simple, and the slim design looks great in the living room. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a solid smart TV at a great price.

One week's initial impressions:Pros: price was only $227.99 on sale which is a bargain for a 43-inch Samsung even if it is a "2024 model". Color is great out of the box, picture is great AFTER I turned the MOTION CLARITY option off (see cons below). Sound quality is excellent. Made in Mexico which I can live with (better than the usual alternative who is our main global competitor). Overall, a fine 43-incher. Cons: not all that simple to set up. I had to play with the little Samsung remote (see pic) and go thru several screens and options and streaming services offers, etc. Gripe: there is an annoying VOICE assistant you cannot get rid of on the ACCESSIBILITY menu screen where I go if I want to shut off the picture and leave audio on only. The voice is irritating and says, "ACCESSIBILITY SHORTCUTS, EIGHTEEN ITEMS, PICTURE OFF, OFF" every time I use that screen to shut the picture off and leave audio on. So I just turn the volume down first. The USER GUIDE found in the on-screen menu and the Samsung rep I sw both say you cannot shut the voice off WHEN YOU ARE USING THE ACCESIBILITY screen. Why did Samsung do this? Gripe - the TV comes with "PICTURE CLARITY" ON, but it is easily disabled in the on-screen settings menu. PICTURE CLARITY "ON" is supposed to stop motion blurring on sports or fast action scenes according to internet, but it makes some shows look unnatural like old soap operas. I googled "Samsung PICTURE CLARITY" on the net and that's what the AI responses said, and so I toggled PICTURE CLARITY "off" and now the picture is 100% GREAT. Small gripe: there is a 1/4-inch wide black border around the picture (see pic I supplied) and I thought it was a defect, but I see the same border in the Amazon pictures for this tv and for other sizes of this model, so it's normal. The Samsung rep I sw verified it is normal also. It's so minor and almost un-noticeable and I thought it was the bezel until I looked real close at the screen. CONCLUSION: great picture and sound, great looking TV with that really thin bezel, and great price. Another Samsung TV perfect for our needs. So far we have had all Samsung TVs the last 20 years and none have disappointed. And each lasted over 10 years with lots of use. Side note: I went from a business-required IPHONE to a SAMSUNG Smartphone almost 5 years ago and it has been the best phone I've had. I'm sold on Samsung.

The tv was easy to setup and the picture is brilliant! I’m so happy with this tv, especially for the price, it’s a great value! I have a 65” Samsung I bought 2 years ago on Amazon and it’s a wonderful product, great picture, popping color ! So happy with both tv’s ! I have bought other models in the past and I find Samsung to be superior!!!

Pros: A great TV for the screen size. Clear picture, easy set up, good sound from the built-in speaker.Cons: There's no optical audio connection for a soundbar. The remote is fussy; it has to be aimed just right, and the center button is not as responsive as it could be. It took me a while to get the picture the way I like it.

Thanks to 110" monster televisions (that would never fit in my apartment anyway), the prices on 70-85" televisions have come down so I took advantage of that and was rewarded with this exceptional television for under $1000. Legs go on easily. Set up is pretty straight forward (although I skipped some of the steps because I run my apps - Max, Prime and Netflix through my PS5) but can understand that it takes longer for people who go through the process. Picture itself is exceptional. Controller is a little small for my old, fat fingers but still workable. But over all this is a high quality television at a very very affordable price. Well done.

Review of the 43" model : Was close to not buying this because reviews talk of poor viewing angle and complicated remote setup. First off the picture quality is amazing, second the viewing angle is great on mine I cant imagine why people say it you have to view it straight on, WRONG, the remote is no harder to set up than any of the other TV's I have had in the past, if you can follow basic directions you will have no problems, 1 step at a time. Others also report it not being bright enough, I felt like putting on my sunglasses with default settings, unless your watching it outside in full sunlight, trust me, its plenty bright. I would definitely buy another one of these.

This is a great television. It is much better quality than I had expected for the very reasonable price. The picture quality is excellent and the sound is terrific. I was expecting the sound quality to be wanting because of the great deal so I bought a sound bar to go with it but I didn't need the sound bar.

As mentioned in the headline: The first one had a cracked screen. I ordered the setup delivery, so they took it back and refunded my money. Had I not ordered it I would have had to deal with Amazon for the return. I re-ordered it and they delivered it the next day. This one was not damaged and works as expected. My last TV was 14 years old and I paid well over $1,000 for it. But it gave up the ghost. This TV is so much more... This TV has many apps and features. The picture quality is pretty incredible for this price point. It's well worth the $399. If you have a good internet connection, the numerous apps will provide ample viewing without cable. But if you're inclined to have cable too, all it takes is plugging in an HDMI cable. This doesn't have an Optical Audio Port, but I was able to pair my Vizio Sound Bar with TV's Blue Tooth. I would definitely buy again. There are better TV's out there, but not at this price point.
