Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Love This! Bought for $39 ($360 discount)!!!!

Scovan 7/17/2021

love this product and we now have a brand new smart tv because of the sek-4500! runs just like our frame tv. we had the 2012 ua60es8000, which was a very old "smart tv" and clunky so we basically just used it as a monitor and ran everything through our bose lifestyle 135 (which is now also old, but good sound). having installed the sek-4500 i was able to connect everything to it and not the bose and now with their universal remote it runs so smoothly - the apple tv, ps4 and the sound. love it! *one thing i haven't tried is adding a hd in the usb for recordings.

Overall is good

Leo M 10/8/2020

i bought 2 new frame tv this year and bought this evo kit for my parents which have 55" es8000 and maybe it is not the same upgrade kit as used to be but...my parents are very happy with that because they got: 1. same smart hub as my frame tvs. 2. faster response from remote control. 3. samsung tv+ with tons of channels which is more than enough for them to cut the cable. yes, i would recommend this product if you don't want to buy a new tv.

Pour upgrade

Marck 4/12/2020

It's a fake information. The only upgrade is Tizen 4.0 for the smart tv and it looses other functionalities because you need to plug this device to the current one conect of your tv. You have two devices and two remote controls. I hope Samsung provides a new evolution kit / one conect in order to we can sustitute one device by another. I'm sorry for SAMSUNG, bad upgrade and pour customer's support. I'm owner of a 65" js9500 Samsung tv. Regards.

Great Unit - If you do not have the SEK-3500

Smooth340 12/4/2019

I was heartbroken when my SEK-3500 one connect device died on my F9000 Samsung TV. I wanted to replace it with the same model but Samsung no longer carried it and if you try to purchase it used you will spend 700+ on Ebay. Even after reading not so great reviews on the 4500 device, I went ahead and purchased to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised. Even though you do have to daisy chain to the original one connect box, you still get the upgraded software and also the UHD and HDR resolutions (which is all I really wanted in the first place). Now I can stream Netflix, Disney +, and VUDU content in HDR and 4K resolutions. Also able to play PS4 games in HDR. I held back a star only because of the Daisy chain issue. I hate having to put another device in my TV stand but it's worth the sacrifice in order to stretch the use of my F9000 TV a while longer. I would say if you have a working 3500 one connect device, do not spend $400 just for the software upgrad. However, if you are still using the original one connect device it is worth it in order to fully utilize your HDR Television.

Why this model was not launched in Brazil.

AdolfoPD 11/21/2019

Why this model was not launched in Brazil. There are several models of TV that would be served in the country, but is fooled once again the Brazilian. Sek-3500 Not Available Sek-4500 Will be made available?

Not worth it... :(

Ben L 11/13/2019

The lack of ARC makes this unit a downgrade. Thought it was a good idea to buy a TV that had the ability to be upgraded, but it wasn't.

Samsung this is not an Evolution Kit

Jkeel 7/10/2019

Your customer service is poor. You sold me the js9000 on the promise that i'd be able upgrade it in the future. With this false upgrade you take away features like 3D and ARC. Also this is an addon for most TVs it supports. Not a true evolution kit at all.

Provides a refreshing update to a newer TV OS

NAEVO 5/17/2019

Some of the information about the product that I have found online is misleading. It is not simply a ROKU. The SEK-4500 is absolutely processing video from the external devices that you have connected and I have noticed an increase in picture quality among the sources that I use. The OS on the evolution kit makes the TV feel modern again and the universal remote is very nice. 4K content is being passed to my HU8550 despite the recommendation to not use the one MHL HDCP 2.2 port. Using developer tools, I was able to see that the quality of the stream is not denigrated at the source and is coming through as a 4K high bitrate stream (before installing the EVO Kit this only occurred if I connected the device to the one HDCP 2.2. MHL port available on my TV). The device is lacking firmware updates as the built in apps have a preference to stream with HDR enabled despite not changing the backlight and contrast of the TV. If HDR is not possible with the TV, it should be disabled for TVs that don't support it. If it is possible, it should automatically modify the backlight. Even better, allow the user to disable HDR as some of the older displays supported by this EVO kit do not have the display brightness to make using it worthwhile. Also, devices connected do support 3D for older TVs that used to support this, however, a firmware update should be provided to switch to 3D automatically (currently you need to manually enable 3D with the old remote on the TV). Finally, although ARC is not supported on the SEK, the instruction manual (that is only provided on the European website for some reason) says to connect your receiver to the ARC port on original TV.

Think Addon, not Evolution...

Vynn 4/25/2019

This device is just a media player (think Apple TV or Roku). It's shaped like a One Connect box, but doesn't actually function like one. If you have a set like the HU9000 or similar it does not connect directly to the TV (unlike the SEK-3500, which was a true evolution kit). You will have to daisy-chain the SEK-4500 to the existing One Connect Box via a HDMI port, leaving both boxes connected. It leaves redundant interfaces - it doesn't replace the inbuilt one, just adds an additional interface layer on top of it - and removes features like ARC, MHL, and 3D (if your TV supported it). It really is just an Apple TV, Roku, or other media player, but with fewer apps and a crappier OS. Don't bother with it!

Dismal Lie

bombadilio 4/22/2019

0 upgrade, you lose 3d functionality. There is nothing about this that makes it worth upgrading to. Might as well give away your money. Samsungs level of service is going down hill. This is just sad

I bought my F8500 because Samsung sold it that the hardware would always be kept up to date with the evolution kit.

Some Good and Some Bad

Ron C 1/26/2019

Not a complete upgrade for my JS9500 TV. The smart feature works OK, but doesn't include 3D or ARC, so you can't stream 3D through streaming services. Also can't stream 4K from Amazon. Hope there are future updates to address these short comings!
