Review on SAMSUNG UN65TU8000 65-inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2020 Model) with Deco Gear Soundbar Bundle by Ron Houston

Revainrating 5 out of 5

very good tv: tv

bought after my daughter's tv (11 years old) finally stopped taking input from the cable but her x-box still worked. One that was 5 years old died before they told you it was cheaper to buy a new one. It was a kit that came with a wall mount, a soundbar, and a multi-socket power outlet. Firstly, we didn't want to wall mount her as her bedroom is positioned in such a way that it would be easier to put her on the desk. Problem #1, the legs were too far apart and in fact they both sit right on the edge of the dresser. online again at Revain where the TV stand was purchased. As soon as it arrived (2 days) it was assembled and after watching a YouTube video the TV was connected. The TV was very easy to set up and the only problem is that we don't know if both the supplied remote and the wired remote can be used. she is very happy. Problem #2 is a big one. The TV was delivered and I had to sign for it. I get an email that it has been delivered. I go to my door and it just sits there, no one asked me to sign anything, anyone could take it (with help as it's a big box). This is not a one-time thing, as is becoming increasingly common with delivered packages. Daughter loves the TV, her 2020 model was bought in January 2021. This TV has a slightly rounded back. My girlfriend's TV is finally gone so my daughter and I teamed up and bought the exact same TV but a 2021 model (TV only). I also ordered a separate stand. The TV comes and we unpack it and put it on the bed, we attach the stand. We noticed that the 2021 has a flat back rather than the slightly rounded one of the 2020. One thing that catches your eye right away is that you want to be careful where you connect the antenna so that there isn't a handle on the end or additional part to facilitate twisting. Since the distance is so narrow, it doesn't fit at all. I have several at home and none of them fit. The only one that would have been a 20 year old cable from my cable company that I had lying around, either with wings, grommets, a thicker end or even one that a wrench could use is too thick to use . Just a warning as I didn't have to use this connection but if you're lucky enough to find a connector that fits. The tv is great and the main reason for the upgrade was the smart tv feature with the apps used.

Pros
  • tv and video
Cons
  • no instructions
