Samsung50-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)

Bought the 55". Sound is okay, not too loud and not high definition. But it's not losing a star because it's a great buy on a Samsung and pretty much everyone uses some sort of external sound device. I stick to Samsung because I can easily connect a Samsung phone or tablet for screen mirroring. I spent a day setting this up: a couple hours on putting the bracket on the wall. About 3 hours hunting down all the apps and signing in to everything. And a couple more on tuning all the tv features and picture quality the way I like it. After all is said and done, it's very user friendly and has a great picture quality. The remote has no microphone but I happen to like less spying devices on me, just like I bought a laptop that doesn't even have camera, that's just me.

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.

OK - b ought so I could read the scroll and text (aging eyes). Sort of worked - TV is outstanding, eyes are worse than I thought. Positives:Contrast is excellentColor is amazingno lag on fast moving picturesstart in 4 seconds (really, and this is awesome!)ConsRemote control - but let me be clear - this is a minimum button control. no numbers, and very simple. Did not think I would like that but darn, it is great. Issue with remote is the narrow IR beam, which forces your hand to be in an uncomfortable position when changing channels, etc. Really wish it had a pivoting head so I could hold comfortably,Final analysis:Excellent in every way and would buy again (in fact, I will be buying another).

This was a 55 inch smart tv from Samsung. It had good ratings from Consumer Reports and from Amazon. The tv itself didn't disappoint. Good color, nice crisp picture, and easy to set up and get going. It had a few other apps you could add, but it didn't have an app store so you were limited in what you could add. I solved this by attaching a firestick I happened to have, which gave me an app store and the ability to add FUBO, which is the core streaming app I use. The second issue is the remote that came with the tv did not have a microphone that would let you give voice commands to the tv, which does have the ability to accept and act on those commands. I bought another controller for $15 with the voice capability. Still struggling with getting closed captions to work on FUBO. I'm keeping the tv. the price was under $400.

bro i dropped this tv like 3 times while moving and the screen didn’t crack at all. i was so hype when i plugged it in and it still worked perfectly. no damage. the color quality is fire too. watching older movies on it just hits different.

Great for the price. Great picture and quality for the price. Meets our needs for general tv watching.

I just got this tv and it has these lights coming from inside that are very distracting. It shows up when the screen is dark. There is also no option to zoom or change the aspect ratio to get rid of the black bars and make it less noticeable. It is not a reflection from light in the room - it’s coming from the TV. This thing is huge but as much of a pain as it is I might have to return it. I emailed Samsung to see if they knew how to fix it. Any ideas? It’s not plugged into anything else, just using the Smart TV apps. Tested on multiple apps and it’s happening on all of them.When the screen isn’t dark, it looks great. Unfortunately a lot of what I watch is dark.Update, Amazon sent a replacement TV and it works perfectly. So the tv was defective. I had some issues trying to return the original one but they were awesome. Changing it to 5 star.
