Damn, just realised it runs on Tizen not Android
New tizen works fine, pretty sure there was a better deal last year for aa non display model though.
I recently got an s80f (or something like that) and ive been really pleasantly surprised by how improved tizen is. Context is that I installed TVs for a retailer when they first went to the ‘fullscreen design’ and it was … in the kindest words… absolute dogsh1t at that time
YES there’s a constant ad at the top of the Home Screen. It ‘is’ slightly less egregious than the new world ad that was my entire background on google tv though.
Casting works from iPhone and android seamlessly. It’s surprisingly fast for a ‘cheap oled’. A jellyfin app just came out on their store too
But there’s also dumb stuff like the ai meditation nonsense. Maybe it was the poor search but there seems to be more and also more garbage on Samsungs App Store.
If you watch youtube install tizen tube, totallly ad free and even skips the in video ad reads
LG webOS is my favourite after previously owning a Samsung with Tizen and Panasonic Android and Sony Google. Simple Magic remote makes things so much easier.
if you scroll down and look just underneath add to cart it says " ex display price Offer ends 24/02/2026 ". So assumed it would be ex-display model
Could try price matching at PB Tech in hopes that they don’t notice that it’s ex-display (though ‘special order’ may ruin it)

On the do not buy list.
Can you install 3rd party apps on tizen?
You can but not sure how many there are. Tizen tube is the only thing iv tried
Stremio Works
Oh yeah i though they meant sideload apps not in the samsung store
Have you read the reviews on the official product page? https://www.samsung.com/nz/tvs/uhd-4k-tv/u8500f-75-inch-crys…
Most of them sound fake. Looks like all the latest reviews are from some promotion Samsung was running, and most of the reviews are also from the US but this model isn't sold in the US so are the US reviews even for this model?
Here's my favorite 5/5 review I've read so far, here we go, ready? "Samsung is a great TV I love the curve test I need to get one fixed"
Most Samsung reviews seem fake regardless of the product
Kinda how this was called out. AI bots creating reviews barely readable or coherent.
Nice deal. Where does it say it is ex-display? Can't see it on the listing.
