For the price of the tv
Bit better quality than my old tv, reasonable quality for the price you paid, if you want really good quality go to pled you pay triple the price.

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

At a glance
The Samsung 55-inch U8500F is a 4K smart TV that suits households wanting a straightforward big-screen upgrade for streaming, TV and casual gaming. It offers sharp Ultra HD detail, easy app access through Tizen and flexible placement with wall mount support. Its main limitation is the basic 50Hz refresh rate, so it is less suited to premium gaming or fast-action performance than higher-end models.

- 4K Streaming
- Everyday TV Watching

- Casual Gaming
- Lounge Room Viewing
Where it works best
- Living Room
- Family Room
- Apartment Lounge
- Media Room

Who it’s for
- Families
- Everyday Streamers
- First-Time Smart TV Buyers
- Casual Gamers
- Home Entertainment Shoppers
Things to consider
The 50Hz refresh rate is fine for everyday viewing and casual gaming, but premium TVs with faster panels and more advanced motion handling will perform better for competitive gaming and fast sports.
Home theatre suitability
7/10 - Good for everyday movies and streaming with 4K detail and HDR10-plus, though it lacks the higher motion performance and premium picture enhancements of more cinema-focused models.
Family viewing friendliness
9/10 - A practical 55-inch size, simple smart interface and broad app support make it easy for households to use for shared entertainment.
Smart tv feature score
8/10 - Tizen, voice assistant support, SmartThings and AirPlay 2 provide a strong smart TV experience for everyday use.
Gaming suitability
6/10 - Fine for casual console gaming, but the 50Hz refresh rate limits appeal for players wanting smoother, higher-performance gameplay.
Wall mount compatibility
Yes - VESA 200 x 200 mm compatible.
Key benefits
- 55-inch screen: Delivers a large, lounge-room-friendly picture size that suits viewing from around 2.1 m.
- 4K smart TV: Gives you detailed picture quality for movies, shows and streaming services on a big screen.
- Crystal 4K processor: Upscales lower-resolution content to near-4K quality for cleaner everyday viewing.
- HDR10-plus support: Improves contrast and highlights for more depth in compatible content.
- Tizen smart platform: Provides easy access to popular apps and smart features in one interface.
- Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.3: Makes it simple to connect to home networks, wireless devices and smart home accessories.
- 3 HDMI ports: Lets you connect multiple devices such as a soundbar, game console and set-top box at the same time.
- 5.5-star energy rating: Helps reduce running costs compared with less efficient models, with estimated energy use of 291 kWh per year.
Q: Is this TV good for PS5 or Xbox Series X gaming
A: Yes. Samsung UA55U8500FWXXY is suitable for casual PS5 or Xbox Series X play, with 4K resolution and HDR10-plus support. Its 50Hz panel is better for everyday console gaming than for buyers chasing faster high-refresh gameplay.
Q: Can I connect a soundbar and still keep consoles plugged in
A: Yes. This TV has 3 HDMI ports, so a soundbar can stay connected while leaving inputs free for other devices. Bluetooth v5.3 also supports compatible wireless audio gear, though wired HDMI is usually simpler for a fixed lounge room setup.
Q: Will this work well on a covered deck or bright room
A: It can suit a covered deck or bright room for general viewing, especially for sport and everyday TV. Samsung UA55U8500FWXXY is not an outdoor-rated TV, so it should stay protected from weather and direct exposure to rain, heat and moisture.
Q: What wall mount size fits the Samsung 55 U8500F
A: Samsung UA55U8500FWXXY uses a 200 x 200 mm VESA pattern. A wall mount is not included, so choose a bracket that matches that VESA size and is rated to hold a 55 inch TV.
Q: Does it support iPhone casting or Apple devices
A: Yes. Samsung UA55U8500FWXXY supports AirPlay 2, so compatible Apple devices can send video, music and photos to the TV. It is a practical option if you already use Apple gear and want basic casting without another streaming device.
Q: Is Wi-Fi enough for streaming, or should I use Ethernet
A: Both options are available. Wi-Fi 5 is fine for most streaming setups, while Ethernet can be the better choice if the TV sits near the router or you want a fixed wired connection instead of relying on wireless signal strength.
