★★☆☆☆
Pop-up ads mean you should not consider this TV model.
Crisp, clear picture. Outstanding visual quality, and at a relatively affordable price from a real electronics company, as opposed to a chintzy brand that will be gone within a few years. However, two factors cause me to recommend against this Samsung 4K television. One: Subscription apps such as Netflix and Amazon randomly fail, forcing you to have to uninstall and reinstall the app -- and it is a MAJORLY, painfully difficult process to uninstall an app. Sure, you can work around this by getting a Roku or using your video game console to run Netflix/Amazon... but that sort of defeats the purpose of a smart TV. The bigger problem involves pop-up ads. It is difficult to overstate just how offensive it is to receive pop-up ads from Verizon Wireless through a TV that I already shelled out a grand for, ads that do not disappear on their own and require you to actually turn the TV off and on to dismiss. I am not making this up. They are popping up ads, and you cannot dismiss these ads without turning the TV off and on. These are not ads from the cable company or Netflix -- they are from my TV, the one I paid a lot of money for. This is the main reason I would recommend against this model -- and against any Samsung product, period. I will never, ever buy Samsung again, or from Verizon Wireless for good measure.
