With another five-star review adding: "Very happy with this TV, much better than older 'Crystal' versions I've had. Picture is comparable to my QLED and the unit is very sleek! Some reviews question the sound quality, but to be fair for such a slim TV I was quite happy with it. Yes the bass isn't exactly there, but the sound is clear full."
However a few shoppers had some gripes about the TV, as one person said: "Very good picture not bad sound but I bought a soundbar to get a better sound, overall I'm happy with the TV."
While another reviewer noted: "The TV itself is really good. I've only marked it down because the legs were quite tricky to get in to place."
One the flip side, a top reviewer wrote: "I'm thoroughly impressed with the Samsung 4K TV. The picture quality is simply stunning, with vibrant colors, sharp details, and deep contrast. Watching movies or playing games feels immersive, and the 4K resolution really makes everything pop, even when streaming content.
"The HDR performance enhances the experience even further, especially for action-packed or visually rich scenes."
While a sixth shopper added: "Really impressed this TV exceeded my expectations for the money would highly recommend - easy to set up and use."

UN holds emergency talks over sky-high accommodation costs at Cop30 in Brazil

The UN climate bureau has held an urgent meeting about concerns that sky-high rates for accommodation at this year's Cop30 summit in Brazil could price poorer countries out of the negotiations. Brazil is preparing to host Cop30 this November in the rainforest city of Belém, where representatives of nearly every government in the world will gather to negotiate their joint efforts to curb the climate crisis. Concerns about logistics have dogged preparations for the summit. Developing countries have warned they cannot afford Belém's accommodation prices, which have soared amid a shortage of rooms. In an emergency meeting of the UN's 'Cop bureau' on Tuesday, Brazil agreed to address countries' concerns about accommodation and report back at another gathering on 11 August, said Richard Muyungi, the chair of the African Group of Negotiators (AGN), who called the meeting. 'We were assured that we will revisit that … to get assurances on whether the accommodation will be adequate for all delegates,' Muyungi said afterwards. He said African countries wanted to avoid reducing their participation because of the cost, adding: 'We are not ready to cut down the numbers. Brazil has got a lot of options in terms of having a better Cop, a good Cop. So that is why we are pushing that Brazil has to provide better answers, rather than telling us to limit our delegation.' Brazil has faced criticism for its decision to host the conference in a small city in the rainforest rather than in a bigger urban centre that already has the necessary infrastructure and hotel rooms. The country is racing to expand the 18,000 hotel beds usually available in Belém, a coastal city of 1.3 million, to accommodate roughly 45,000 people who are expected to attend Cop30. This month, the Brazilian government said it had secured two cruise ships to provide 6,000 extra beds for delegates. It also opened bookings to developing countries at more affordable nightly rates of up to $220 (£165). That is still above the daily subsistence allowance (DSA) the UN offers some poorer nations to support their participation at Cops. For Belém, that DSA is $149. A diplomat familiar with Tuesday's meeting said complaints about affordability came from both developed and developing countries. Wealthier countries have been told to expect nightly accommodation costs of up to $600 – far higher than at previous Cop meetings. The Panamanian negotiator Juan Carlos Monterrey Gómez said in June that he feared the conference 'might become the most inaccessible Cop in recent memory' and that developing countries, small island states, Indigenous voices and civil society would 'not be adequately represented — if represented at all'. Media organisations, activists, NGOs and charities have also raised fears that they may not be able to participate in the conference if a solution on accommodation costs is not found. In February, the Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, told critics that if hotels were unavailable, they should 'sleep under the stars'. An agenda for Tuesday's meeting confirmed it was convened to address 'operational and logistical preparations for the climate change conference in Belém' and the AGN's concerns on the matter.

Get all the week's environment news - the good, the bad and the essential after newsletter promotion Brazil's foreign ministry did not reply immediately to a request for comment. Officials organising the Cop30 have made repeated assurances that poorer countries will have access to accommodation they can afford. A spokesperson for the UNFCCC, the United Nations climate body, declined to comment on the meeting. Two UN diplomats showed Reuters quotes they had received from hotels and property managers in Belém for nightly rates of about $700 a person during Cop30. Officials from six governments, including wealthier European countries, said they had not yet secured accommodation because of high prices, and some said they were preparing to reduce their participation. A spokesperson for the Dutch government said it might need to halve its delegation compared with recent Cops, when the Netherlands sent about 90 people during the two-week event including envoys, negotiators and youth representatives. This month, Poland's deputy climate minister, Krzysztof Bolesta, said: 'We don't have accommodation. We'll probably have to cut down the delegation to the bone. In an extreme event, maybe we will have to not show up.'

Coinbase connects crypto to Samsung Pay

Samsung Pay will begin rolling out as a payment and deposit option inside the Coinbase app for users in the United States and Canada, with plans to expand to additional geographies in the near future. 2 The road to global adoption relies on an accessible, seamless user experience, and we're proud to partner with Samsung to make it that much easier to fund your crypto journey. Funding your crypto journey should be as easy as sending a text or tapping to pay at checkout. That's why we're making it even more seamless to buy crypto directly from your mobile device. Starting this week, Coinbase users in North America can now use Samsung Pay directly in the Coinbase app to fund their crypto journey. With just a few taps, eligible users can move from interest to action - without needing to switch apps or re-enter payment information. This new integration brings together the convenience of Samsung's trusted mobile wallet with Coinbase's secure and intuitive platform, unlocking a smoother path to crypto for millions of mobile users across North America. Whether you're diving in or doubling down, Samsung Pay makes buying crypto feel as easy as tapping to pay. The feature will be gradually rolled out to select users in the U.S. and Canada over the next month, with full availability expected in the near future. As more people look to explore crypto from the phones in their pockets, we're continuing to meet them where they are — by making it easier, faster, and more familiar to get started.
