TV itself is great, the customer service was terrible!
The TV itself is affordable, good quality and was fairly easy to set up. However the customer service from the Good Guys was terrible & soured the experience. I purchased the item online & no instructions on any of the receipts or documents showed how/where to collect. I know there is a door out the back for collections, but the instructions don't direct you there. Went in store and lined up to be told to go around the back & a vague point to go around. Suggested that it would be a good idea to ensure clear instructions are on the receipt/collection docket, or even a note outside directing people to go direct to the dock to collect. I was already a bit annoyed at this point after waiting in line. Get the back delivery dock and store-person grabs the TV. Turns out it was about 2 cm to wide for my car & door wouldn't close. I suggest we put the back seats down and lean it as it will fit that way. I was literally going less than 5 minutes up the road so would only be laying down for a few minutes. Told - nope you cannot lay it down and it will void your warranty. Ok - I suggest we take it out the box then as the packaging is quite bulky and then it will fit and be upright on the backseat. Told no, that will void your warranty and I will be making a note of that. I said that I will take his suggestion on board, but I had no other option. Asked if I could borrow a stanley knife or box cutter and told no they cant do that. Asked what did he suggest I do and he shrugged and walked off - leaving me in the back dock with a TV half hanging out my car that he shoved in and was hard to get out of the car. In the end I managed to pry the box open and was able to wrap in towels and leave on the backseat for the 3 minute drive home. I was furious and I will not shop at this site again. Would recommend the TV itself, but not the Good Guys Gepps Cross!

Nice budget brand name TV
This TV is a good price, does not have all the bells and whistles of a more expensive version though. I would have liked extra HDMI ports, but you get what you pay for

Things to consider
The 50Hz refresh rate is fine for everyday viewing and casual gaming, but premium TVs with higher refresh rates and more advanced picture processing will handle fast sports and competitive gaming more smoothly.

Family viewing friendliness
8/10 - A practical size for shared lounge room viewing, with easy smart features and access to free and subscription content.
Smart tv feature score
8/10 - Tizen offers broad app support, voice assistant compatibility and easy everyday streaming.
Gaming suitability
6.5/10 - Suitable for casual console gaming, but the 50Hz refresh rate is less ideal for fast-paced or competitive players.
Wall mount compatibility
Yes - VESA wall mount compatible for flexible placement in living spaces.

Q: What does Crystal UHD mean on the Samsung 55" U8500F, and how is it different from QLED or OLED?
A: Crystal UHD means a 4K LED LCD TV aimed at everyday viewing, with sharper detail than Full HD and a lower price point than QLED or OLED. The trade-off is less contrast and HDR impact than Samsung's higher-tier screen technologies.
Q: Is a 55-inch Samsung U8500F a good size for a standard living room?
A: Yes. A 55-inch 16:9 TV is typically about 123cm wide and 71cm high without allowing for the stand, which suits many lounge rooms. A common viewing distance is roughly 1.7m to 2.3m for a comfortable 4K picture.
Q: Is the Samsung U8500F better for everyday TV and streaming, or for premium movie viewing?
A: It is better suited to everyday TV, sport and streaming than buyers chasing top-tier cinema performance. A Crystal UHD model is usually the practical choice for mixed use, while OLED or higher-end QLED suits darker-room movie fans better.
Q: Will this 2025 Samsung Smart TV support popular Australian streaming apps?
A: Yes, Samsung Smart TVs typically support major Australian streaming services including Netflix, YouTube and catch-up apps, provided the service offers a Samsung TV app in Australia. App availability can change over time and some services need a paid account.
Q: Is the Samsung 55" U8500F a good choice if most of the content watched is free-to-air TV?
A: Yes. A 55-inch Crystal UHD screen is a sensible fit for free-to-air channels because it adds 4K resolution and smart features without the cost of Samsung's premium display tiers. Lower-bitrate broadcasts can still show source limitations on a larger screen.
