Samsung - 43" Class The Serif QLED 4K Smart TV (2022)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I could have done this review earlier but I wanted to explore ‘all' the features of my Serif! This TV is a masterpiece. It is not only beautiful; it is feature packed. It is simply stunning! My kids have abandoned the 75 inch TV I bought last November because of this new beauty. Because it's white in color, no matter what the theme of your house decoration is, The Serif would fit perfectly. One feature I enjoy the most is the ambient mode: I use it to relax and unwind. It would be really nice to have a 75 inch or 85 inch of the Serif. Nobody likes ‘small' tv screens anymore 😀

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this TV because of the ambient features and the look for my bedroom. It has been so much more than I could have asked for, it's amazing!! The picture is beautiful and easy on the yes, the sound is great too, no absolute need for the additional sound bar, like most new TVs. I love the Samsung Channels as well, what a bonus!! Thank you Samsung for making this wonderful TV. I am very Happy with my purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to wait for the TV to arrive (was not in-stock at time of purchase) but was well worth the wait. Looks amazing and fits in the space perfectly. Great quality and sound - excellent aesthetic, well pleased!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful design and very well crafted. The display is great. Only gripe is that the OS seems a little laggy and the samsung interface isn't amazing. I would prefer more options to customize the home screen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought Samsung serif TV last year. It so much worth to paying 2k. Great design,resolutions are very satisfied.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been looking at this beautifully designed TV for some time and after discovering that the smart TV functions were not possible on my current TV thought it time to change. It's fab, functions are so intuitive and the aesthetic fits in to my decor so perfectly. A great addition to our life, we love it, thankyou

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very modern, sleek and beautiful looking TV with minimal design. Worked really well with our simple colour scheme in the apartment. The quality of TV was fantastic - great sound, good quality display and easy to install.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The most beautiful TV ever, has completely changed my space, its architectural and fits in seamlessly with my decor. Picture and sound are lovely, small remote is a wolf in sheep's clothing, it does everything.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our first smart tv and we are very impressed with the capabilities!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently purchased the 2022 55" Serif. Externally it is a gorgeous looking TV that doesn't for once, look like a piece of huge tech dominating the living room but rather more like part of the decor. In fact it will likely become a minor talking point with guests seeing it for the first time because it is so distinctive and nice looking. The screen is stunning. More than bright enough in bright daylight near windows. Colours are natural (after tweaking the picture settings from the factory showroom one). Nice balanced tones and contrast. The new matt screen surface feature for the 2022 version is brilliant, neutralising all ambient light reflections. I predict other manufacturers will copy this feature looking ahead. The Serif plays nicely with the latest Sonos Arc soundbar via eArc-HDMI connectivity but did need some tweaking to sync the sound to the image which can be achieved via settings. Setting up via the software prompts/guide is easy and should be too for the non-techies out there. Connected to our home WiFi easily. I should mention Samsung's treatment of the rear, especially the cable management and the smooth panel that unclips / clips back on, hiding the ports and cables, is well thought through and a nice touch providing a dust free clear lines appearance. I haven't yet used the inbuilt NFC capability on top of the TV to play music directly from my phone as we use a connected media centre (Mac Mini) to store and play our media (music, movies, pictures). On this point, we are experiencing HDMI connectivity issues between the Mac Mini and the Serif. The Serif becoming a monitor for the Mac Mini for playback of media. Other users online are experiencing similar issues apparently. I'm currently looking at a workaround so hopefully this can be resolved. Finally, a couple of other mentions - the remote control is very good. Minimal controls. Just enough to use day-to-day. Easy to read and use via the inbuilt Samsung TV menu navigation. Feels great in your hand. Responsive. Controls both the TV and the Sonos Arc and does not need environmentally wasteful AA or AAA batteries. Yes that is right, it charges its own inbuilt lithium battery, initially via a USB-C cable and then is kept topped up via a small solar panel on the rear. Brilliant Samsung! Finally a nice looking remote one is happy to leave out on the coffee table rather than hide away. The design complements the TV design nicely. The final item worth mentioning too is how easy it is to load apps into the menu. We stream all of our free2air channels rather than receive via broadcast (via TV antenna). Searching for iView and SBSOnDemand apps and loading them took a couple of minutes at most. You can easily delete unwanted channel / streaming apps if like me you want to get rid of clutter. Samsung pre-loads software/apps I didn't want. Samsung have included advertising in their software. Some may not like this 'intrusion'. I ignore it and choose the app I'm looking for. Would I recommend the Serif? Yes. Certainly one to consider to compare with others if you are in the market for a new TV along with its sister product, the Samsung Frame (same tech features).
