Excellent With 2013 Samsung Smart TV

I bought this sound bar to complement my 2013 Samsung UN506400AF 50 smart TV. The HW-F550 met my expectations, and then some.

Set-up with this particular TV was effortless. The first time I turned on the sound bar, a dialog box appeared on the TV asking if I wanted to connect via SoundShare (Samsungs implementation of Bluetooth). I hit OK and after a few seconds, TV audio started playing through the sound bar. It was that simple, and no audio cables were required. I then experimented with HDMI (ARC) and optical audio cables. These inputs worked equally well. To my ears, there is no difference in sound quality between HDMI (ARC), optical audio and Bluetooth.

However, there are real differences in user experience among these three connection methods. For me, the clear all-around winner was HDMI (ARC). Only HDMI (ARC) allows me to use my choice of TV remote, cable box remote or sound bar remote to accomplish all of the following:

* Power on the sound bar simultaneously with the TV with no delay before the sound bar kicks in
* Turn off the sound bar simultaneously with the TV
* Control the volume of the sound bar

The HW-F550 mounts to a wall easily with the supplied bracket. Cable connections are very constricted between the unit and the wall, but there *is* enough space to run the power cord and any audio cable you're using. Unfortunately, the HW-F550 uses a bulky power transformer that I was barely able to wedge into the recessed cable compartment behind the TV. Phooey on you, Samsung!

The sound output is amazing. Im no audiophile, but I can report with confidence that there is a night-and-day difference between the TV audio and the sound bar audio. If I had to put my finger on it, Id say the biggest benefit is greatly increased presence - you feel like you're part of the soundstage instead of being off in the distance. And its much easier now for me to make out whispered dramatic dialog in TV shows.

The wireless subwoofer pumps out plenty of bass, which can be controlled by the sound bar remote. Quantity is not always quality, however, and I would characterize the bass as being a bit more muddy than tight. The subwoofer paired automatically with the sound bar proper from the get-go, and Ive only had to manually pair it once.

The subwoofer is responsible for more than just the lowest frequencies. If you unplug the subwoofer from the wall when the sound bar is playing, the slim bar by itself sounds positively tinny. Put the two components together, though, and youve got a powerhouse!

This sound bar really shines if you use its Bluetooth capability to play music from your phone. When used in this fashion as a wireless Bluetooth speaker system, the HW-F550s output is much richer than TV audio - and much richer, IMO, than any standalone Bluetooth speaker in the HW-F550s price range.

Both the slim bar and the subwoofer are stylish, heavy and well-constructed. The visual feedback on the bar in response to key presses on the remote is very helpful. Im extremely satisfied with this product.

We have a 55" Samsung smart TV in the Family Room, so we didn't need a smart TV for this 40" model in our bedroom. Great picture, slim design, light, easy to hook up, good price. Very happy.

Yes! Works with Samsung Smart Curved TVs (55" UH 4K 3D at least).  Don't use the spacers provided with your TV though - use the ones that come from the box.  I realized that using the ones provided with the TV and the longer bolts called for by Sanus - the bolts would be too long and over-torquing could damage your TV.  I hand-tightened first to make sure it would work and realized the length issue.  The installation itself is super easy.  Here are some tips:
- if you don't have the studs aligned to the mount location you want, put up a mounting board (3/4in min plywood) and fasten securely to the studs and then place the mounting bracket where you want.  I was limited by space near my front door so did this and it works great.
- the mounting location is about 20deg from perpendicular to the viewing area because we installed this near a door.  That said, I have enough room to pull the TV out and get a great parallel viewing face.  It's very articulate.
Overall, the quality of this gear is superb.  Very sturdy and the fasteners are high quality.  I'm getting another one!!

Works great with my Samsung Smart TV.  Put in the DVD and wait briefly for the TV to come on and
watch your movie or go to Amazon.com prime account and watch movies for free.  The $100/year for
prime is worth it for this alone.  But, you also get free shipping on many products along with an easy
return UPS label if you need to return an item.

Vibrant colors.  Truly, an excellent product.

Works perfectly with my Lumix ZS50 camera.  I plug the cable into my Samsung Smart TV HDMI input and watch excellent HD TV.

Using this TV mount with a Samsung UN60H7150 60-Inch 1080p 240Hz 3D Smart LED TV (2014 Model).  Easy setup, and was worth the cost for plain flat surface wall mounting which was my sole purpose in purchasing this.  Metal is sturdy enough. Just enough room when mounted to run cabling along the horizontal bars with Velcro wraps for a neat installation.

I purchased this so that I could sync my Samsung TV to my wife's cochlear implant bluetooth streaming hub (Advanced Bionics' ComPilot), and it works like a charm!  She can watch TV and it streams audio directly to her implants, with very minimal audio delay.  (So little, that it's hardly noticeable.)

Simply plug it into the audio output of the TV (my TV has both the 3.5mm headphone jack and the red/white RCA jacks, and I chose the headphone jack), plug it into the USB port on your TV for power (or charge it as needed via the USB cable and your computer or smart phone charger), turn it on and in pairing mode, put your BT headphones or other receiver into pairing mode, and they instantly connect.

Most LCD/LED TV's made in the past 5 years have a USB port, so that's how I chose to power my unit.  I have no plans to move it to any other TV's, so I can't comment on battery life.

This is such an awesome device, I plan on buying a second one for a TV in a different room.

This COOLUX UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL FOR ALL SAMSUNG SMART TVS (LCD LED HDTV 3D) works perfectly with my 2018 Samsung QN55Q7F flat 55 QLED smart TV.  All the Coolux remote needs is two AAA batteries (not included).

The remote works exactly the same as my Samsung brand remote that looks almost exactly the same (except for the brand name and the labels on a few buttons).  Importantly, the on/off button, the hub button, the sources button, the navigational buttons, and the volume and channel controls all work perfectly with no setup required.

(I purchased the Samsung remote a few years ago; Samsung seems to have stopped making it.)

I bought it to use with my Samsung UN55J6200 smart TV.  Plug the receiver into a USB port and the TV immediately recognizes both the keyboard and mouse. Select each and you are up and running.  Both items work as advertised.  A great value.

Works great with my Samsung SmartTV, including the touchpad for moving around the screen.  It's very light and smaller than a regular keyboard (due to the lack of the numeric keypad) so it doesn't get in the way more than it has to when you're browsing from an easy chair. But it's not a replacement for a regular computer's keyboard.

Great value, top quality smart TV, very easy to set up and use.  Has two HDMI connections and RCA plug connections for older VCR/DVD players, as well. Nice screen filling setting available for non-HD channels or media.  Beautiful color rendition and very good sound from built-in speakers.  Easily connected to home Wi-Fi network for Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, YouTube, etc.

My wife and I were kind enough to hold on to my brother's Samsung 50" TV while he and his family were moving. We ended up having it for about 5 months. Once he got settled into his new place we gave it back to him and bought this Vizio Smart TV. I was worried that the picture quality would be vastly different, but that was not the case. This TV has great picture quality! As for the Smart TV features, we already had an Apple TV, so I haven't navigated the Smart TV options extensively but the user interface is very intuitive. Connecting to the Wi-Fi was simple as well as the rest of the setup.

My wife and I purchased a used one via Amazon Warehouse deals. We couldn't be happier with our purchase. It came in the original box which was obviously not new. However, upon opening the box I was pleasantly surprised to see the TV wrapped just like as if it was brand new. There was not a scratch anywhere to be found on the TV or any of the accessories.

Love this!  Now my Smart TV without Bluetooth and without earphone jack/audio jack can support wireless headphones, and wireless speaker.  Works great!

I purchased this for my Samsung smart tv. Setup is as easy as inserting the device, powering on the television, then typing in your network password. I'm streaming pandora and netflix with no troubles at all. I'm using it in conjunction with a Netgear 600 router that I purchased at Best Buy.
