I originally purchased the Samsung 6400FXZA 40" 4k UHD tv on Black Friday for $449, then returned it today for reasons mentioned in my review on that product's page. I exchanged for this tv and couldn't be happier.
This product has a super sleek and cool layout of apps, and I love that this tv allows you to search for and download other apps from Google Play. There's even an equalizer app to adjust the sound of music streaming from Pandora! PBS Kids (free app; easy to set up thru mobile) is great for commercial-free programming for my son; and I'm overall very excited to dig in and see what else this tv is capable of.
I HIGHLY recommend spend the extra $$ for this 43" Sony. This tv is sitting on my dresser in the bedroom and it's perfect! The picture clarity/quality is sharp and clear with great contrast; as far as sound is concerned, I haven't experienced any issues (like some other reviewers).
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this TV on Black Friday sale after doing some careful online comparison shopping; the set up was fine, but then the "smart hub" was "updating" so I couldn't access Amazon Video, Netflix, and then even eventually Pandora wasn't accessible. (the main apps I was going to first check out)
The web browser troubleshooting only took me to Samsung's main page where it pushed sales (NOT what someone who is frustrated with the product wants to see). I also tried the MyContent sharing from my PC to stream a movie, and followed all the steps to download the right software, but that function was a bust as well.
Lastly, along with my TV, I purchased the Samsung Bluetooth wireless keyboard with touchpad (model VG-KBD2500) which I was under the impression that this would be compatible; it never synced and only after calling GeekSquad today did I find out that this keyboard is only compatible with certain Samsung Smart TVs (how do you determine whether it is or not? It doesn't say anything about compatibility on the box - only on the manual inside, and that language is vague).

It doesn't say anything about compatibility on the box - only on the manual inside, and that language is vague).
After struggling through a few hours of self-troubleshooting (which was extremely difficult and frustrating given the VERY FEW resources Samsung provides on their website), I gave up and gave the TV a 13 hr rest. Today, I called Samsung tech support; after holding for 40 minutes I spent a good 20 minutes doing basically all the troubleshooting I did last night, including unplugging the TV about 4 times to see if power cycling the f*&%ing thing would magically fix things. When I mentioned this product comes with the ability for a tech rep to take control over the TV (after giving a code) to do an initial set up as well as troubleshooting, I was told that I would have to be transferred over to another department and since they were inundated with calls, I could be on hold for another 40 minutes. The rep also mentioned, AT THE VERY END, that oh, the Smart Hub server was experiencing issues and had been down in the past 24 hours. Do ya think that *maybe* this had something to do with why all these problems weren't getting resolved?? Wow. was all I could think.
Do not buy this TV. Obviously, the other reviewers have not experienced these issues, but for me, the product does not work as it was intended to; does not work with a $99 keyboard that is advertised as being able to control you Samsung smart tv; and has very little to no technical phone/online support available at this time. Also, the apps that are pre-loaded are not able to be deleted or removed (if you've ever had a Samsung smart phone you'll know the frustration) - it's just not worth your hassle, not even at $300 off the "regular" price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Yes; Netflix is set up to recognize your device as 4k and so it will show available programming shot in 4k to maximize viewer experience.
