I decided to leave a feedback just because of the negative reviews.
I've been looking to buy a secondary tv/monitor to my computer. A friend of mine referred to me this Samsung UN32J5003AFXZA to which he uses with his computer as a monitor.
With a normal common sense I have decided to do some research to make sure it meet my needs. So this is what I found:

This TV is good for what it offers.
But before making my decision to purchase or not, I wanted to deeper understand of all its specs above.
*Warranty: something goes wrong with the TV while still under warranty, YOU and NOT Samsung will pay for shipping back to their factory, they will fix/replace and ship back to you at their cost.
*Energy Saver: NO. Which means it cost $6 per every 200 hours of use. If this TV was energy saver it would cost $4.2 instead. (US dollars)
*5watts speakers, the sound is very low, pay attention to this. The volume at max should sound like a shower speaker or lower. The sound of this TV is rated to be used in a 137 square feet room or smaller. However, there is an option to buy with Samsung HW-J250 2.2 Channel 80 Watt Audio Soundbar (2015 Model). For an extra $99.99
*NO PC INPUTS, the reason I want a TV is to use with a PC. I can still use this TV as a monitor as long as I get my self an adapter (HDMI); an extra 20-30 bucks for a good quality one.
*Smart Functionality- No, Built in Wi-Fi- No: meaning this TV will not connect to your wi-fi and it does not have the smart hub option to connect with apps.
*USB PORT: meaning you can connect via sharemovie cable with a usb male port to your smart cell phone or camera and display your photos or even play a netflix movie. Guess what, with the combination of your smart phone and this TV = Smart TV. This does not say under description, but it's common knowledge.
I don't think I need to go through all the other features, they are all straight forward.
Bottom line this TV does meet my needs with conditions (I need either new video card for my computer with HDMI output or HDMI cable with output pc connector), and it meets my budget.
If the TV breaks, back light stop working or any other problem it will cost me 40 bucks for shipping. Unless it breaks within 14 days free shipping. and they will ship another one back me at their cost.
It took me 20 minutes to do a research, well worth my time before investing $259 + tax.
I prepared wrote this review which took me more than an hour, to help consumers to find what they are looking for. And not wasting their money like some did buying this TV not knowing what they were doing.
