It just simply SUCKS! Don't let the Samsung name fool you! They play the same shows over and over for months at the time.. if you can even find anything decent to watch..not to mention during commercial breaks, they play the same commercial back to back 4 or 5 times! God it's so aggravating!
This brand"samsung" has taken a left wing, wacko, woke stance, and tries to shove it down your throat every Comercial break! They lie in political commercials, and their ALL, AND ONLY for the wack jobs on the left! Their agenda is clear, and our family will be not only deleting all their apps, but also replacing all their products with a company with at least a tiny gkimmer of common sence! Goodbye samsung!
Anyone can write a CrowdTrust review. People who write reviews have ownership to edit or delete them at any time, and they'll be displayed as long as an account is active.
Embedded bloatware that can't be removed. Vacuous braindead content. If I had known this garbage was on the TV, I would never have bought it. I will never buy a Samsung TV again.
Samsung TV Plus is garbage. Supposedly commercial free, it has more commercials than legacy tv. There is no way to pause/ fast forward/ rewind. Worst of all, Samsung Plus not only accepts the lunatic transgender concept, it promotes that insanity, in flamboyant style. It is TOTALLY inappropriate for minors (ANYONE under the age of 18). There is blatant sexual pornography even in the commercials. And there is no way to stop that garbage being displayed. No one of a normal upbringing can escape this blatant grooming. Seek other source of entertainment that has traditional and moral value.
I have Samsung TV Plus disabled in the settings and it still shows up automatically. It will start when I turn on my TV and there’s no “exit” option in the interface. I have to hold the “back” button on the remote to get out of the app and sometimes this causes the TV to crash. I’m happy with the picture quality but everything else about the TV like the Settings, the Smart TV (I.e., interface functionality and stability etc.) is horrible. This is my third Samsung TV. It used to be a good brand but I won’t buy Samsung again.
I love the Heartland channel because I am not into language and sexual content. The constant commercials for apps is annoying, but I know that is what pays the bills. I am disappointed and upset that the commercials during a family friendly show very skimpy dressed women and you have to bleep out the F**** bombs out of an ad for a solitaire app. Absolutely disgusting and disappointing that I can't watch with my young boys.
More ads than actual content. Annoying as loops, particularly on the VEVO channels, plays about 5 minutes or content then 10 minutes of a repetitive loop of the same music saying "we'll be back shortly" and so on.
Absolute garbage.
Samsung has no interest in providing a good customer experience, only in forcing you to use their streaming platform. While watching a show, there is a frequent pop up in the middle of the screen letting you know that you can use the remote arrows to make other selections. No duh. Its a remote. Why would I want to watch your content if you keep interrupting? And no matter how many times I set the junk stations not to show up, new crappy stations keep showing up. And occasionally they completely reset the shows so all of them show up, and I have go through all of them again to turn most of them off. Just today, they forced a new interface, which overlays whatever you are watching with a format like you would see on fire or apple tv, but you cant get rid of it to watch the channel you are on except by waiting a while for it to go away. Terrible choices are being made by the team responsible for this service.
My Samsung tv is 18 months old
And the picture is a mess
Black shadows and getting really hot
After speaking to Samsung answering stupid questions for half an hour
She put me onto a technician through e-mailing
We sent 2 videos to them of the tv
The only reply we got back was this email service no longer exist
der Dienst "Samsung TVplus" kann nicht deaktiviert werden
ich setze mein Gerät Samsung - TV 49 Zoll (UE49KU6509U) seit einigen Jahre für anderweitige Aufgaben ein, kaum als TV-Gerät.
Dies hatte bis zu Beginn von 2023 ausgezeichnet funktioniert.
Seit TVplus im Menü angezeigt wird schaltet das Gerät willkürlich auf die Einstellung -> Quelle -> TV "Sendersuche" um. Alle Versuche TVplus zu löschen sind bisher gescheitert - habe nachfolgende Anweisung aus dem Internet durchgeführt:
###########################################
Samsung Werbung ausschalten
------------------------------
- Hier drückt ihr den Home-Button und wechselt unten links im Menü in die "Einstellungen".
- Unter "AGBs & Datenschutz" findet ihr die Option "Ich stimme den Anzeigeinformationsdiensten auf diesem TV zu".
- - Entfernt nun den Haken für die Zustimmung.
- - Zusätzlich müsst ihr im selben Menü "Ich stimme Werbung auf Grundlage meiner Interessen zu" anwählen
und dort ebenfalls den Haken für eure Zustimmung entfernen.
- Danach könnt ihr das Menü wieder schließen.
- Bei Bedarf könnt ihr über "AGBs & Datenschutz" "PSID zurücksetzen" -> "Zurücksetzen" noch eure Werbe-ID löschen.
Um wirklich alle zusätzlichen Werbeeinblendungen abzuschalten,
solltet ihr zusätzlich HbbTV ausschalten und die von Samsung genutzten URLs zur Werbeeinspielung blockieren.
HbbTV-Funktion ausschalten
------------------------------
Diesen Service können Sie abbestellen.
Rufen Sie, um die HbbTV-Einstellungen zu verwalten,
- Sendeempfang auswählen
- Experteneinstellungen Ihres Samsung-TVs aufrufen
- Entfernen Sie auch hier den vorausgewählten Haken

Habe zum Service von Samsung Kontakt aufgenommen - es erfolgte keine Antwort.
Das Gerät funktioniert technisch prima doch das Aufdrängen von TVplus kann und will ich NICHT akzeptieren.
Alle weiteren Apps können jederzeit gelöscht werden !!!!
No complaint with new led tv its great, however Samsung charged us £19+ to SET UP the tv, Their interpretation of SET UP is to take the TV out of the packaging fit 4 screws to the base & plug the socket in the wall.
My & other people’s interpretation of “SET UP” is to TUNE IN the TV set up the sound bar etc. It took 2 hours for me to tune & set the tv up. Wish I could charge £19.5 for 15 minutes work
I have always gotten regular 50 or 55 inch flat-screen tvs and just used my firestick for web use, I finally got my first smartTV in 2020, I got a samsung I buy only samsung for all my electronics.. my beef is "samsung tv plus" why do they call it that it just Pluto TV!!? When you turn to a channel the banner of information tells you the tv shows/movie name and what showing is something else! I get you gotta show commercials but the same 2 commercials over and over??!! This will be the last time I buy a smart dumb tv!!
