A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Samsung 32" HD H5000F 720p Smart LED TV: Wi-Fi, HDR10+, 60 Hz Refresh Rate. Having two identical TVs failing in the exact same way—taking 15 minutes to "boot up" and then freezing—points to a known software or hardware issue with that specific Samsung series. Since your model is the H5000F, it is an older "Early Smart" TV. These models have very limited memory, and as apps (like Netflix or YouTube) have become "heavier" over the years, they can cause the TV's processor to "choke" during the startup process. 1. The "Samsung TV Plus" Glitch (Most Likely) There is a well-documented issue where the Samsung TV Plus app tries to load a live preview the second the TV turns on. This overwhelms the processor, causing the 15-minute lag and freezing the cursor. The Fix: If you can eventually get the cursor to move after the 15-minute wait, navigate to the Samsung TV Plus app icon, long-press the "Select" button, and choose Remove or Disable. Many users report that disabling this one app instantly returns the TV to normal speed. 2. Perform a "Cold Boot" A standard "Off/On" with the remote doesn't actually clear the TV's memory; it just puts it in standby. You need to force the memory to flush: With the Remote: While the TV is ON, press and hold the Power Button on your remote and don't let go. The TV will turn off. Keep holding until the Samsung Logo appears again on the screen, then release. Without the Remote: Unplug both TVs from the wall. Wait at least 60 seconds. While they are unplugged, press and hold the physical power button on the TV itself for 30 seconds to drain residual power. Plug them back in. 3. Clear the "Broadcasting" Lag If your TV is searching for a cable signal or "HbbTV" data in the background, it can freeze the UI. Go to Settings > Broadcasting > Expert Settings > HbbTV Settings. If HbbTV is checked, uncheck/disable it. This feature often causes older Samsung processors to hang. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: A Samsung advisor answered another question asking if it would be possible to connect Beats wireless headphones via Bluetooth and was answered NO, you could not. So, I'd be cautious about trusting and relying on the answers found here and suggest if you really want to know the answer to any questions, to contact Samsung directly noting the product model # and any other identifying information for this TV sold specifically through Target. In addition if you're already a Samsung member maybe check the Samsung Members App for Q & A or r/Samsung on Reddit may have some more reliable information. I'd recommend that for all of the Q & A found here on Tagged to get more reliable information & or confirm any questions. Or if it's not that important to you, take your chances purchasing and find out for yourself. If you choose the latter, please try to share any information you learn first hand on Target, please. Thank you.
