Low overall brightness and lack of wide color gamut, not to mention the fact that Samsung does not support Dolby Vision, limit the possibilities of HDR content. And viewing angles are not the strong point of this TV. If you have a living room where people will watch this TV from the side, they will have a completely different experience than those who are sitting directly in front of it.

The Samsung TU8000 TV is a good value TV that offers a decent performance for the money, but can’t shake some of the limitations of its more humble spec list. Brightness and colour saturation take a knock compared with Samsung’s pricier QLEDs, but its detailed picture, fantastic smart TV system and strong upscaling performance still offer plenty to like.

Closing our review we can say that if you are torn between the AU8000 and the TU8000 then we would suggest you to go for the new Samsung AU8000. Yes, the differences are small but in our opinion when it comes to such a low capability TV any small improvement is a welcome one. The TV is obviously limited but its price but if you are not particularly demanding then it has its merits.

so ’If you’re looking for a tv that’s stylish and easy to use, then new bezel less design, faster picture processor is one of the big highlights. It is an enjoyable TV for watching movies in dark rooms thanks to its excellent va screen. so the levels of contrast are the best in this class.There’s more than enough here to give you a taste of the 4k, but on the other side it’s lacking in brightness to be one of the kings of hdr. of course as I mentioned before it could have more apps and games, but if you want fast and responsive tv with low input lag, then it still has an advantage in comparison with google tv. and with that in mind, samsung au8000 is easily one of the better options, if you want a good 4k smart tv for an affordable price.

The Samsung AU8000 does its job well and is especially an appealing option for those after an affordable 4K TV. It boasts excellent black levels, is reasonably priced, and runs a reliable Smart TV platform, but it’s not bright enough for HDR content.

Given that Samsung has been eager to push its pricey Neo QLED and microLED TVs, the unassuming Samsung AU8000 may well have slipped under your radar. The AU8000 is one of the cheapest 4K TVs in the South Korean company’s 2021 range but offers a solid set of specs and an attractive, slimline design.

The AU8000 features deep, steady black levels, a handsome design, and a smart platform that’s flexible and easy enough for folks who are upgrading to a 4K smart TV for the first time. Unfortunately, it doesn’t get bright and colorful enough for even halfway-decent HDR and its panel lacks any sort of dimming software, which impacts screen uniformity in a pretty bad way.

It's okay for watching movies thanks to its high native contrast ratio, but it doesn't have a local dimming feature to improve contrast. It's good for watching TV shows and decent for sports because of its great reflection handling, but it has narrow viewing angles, so it's not ideal for a wide seating arrangement. It doesn't have any gaming features and has a slow response time, so motion looks blurry, but it still has low input lag for a responsive gaming experience. Sadly, it can't display a wide color gamut for HDR content and doesn't get bright enough to bring out highlights.

While the UE50AU8000 makes a good first impression, over time its backlight issues make it harder and harder to live wit
