Samsung AU8000 our 2021 review

11:46 PM Posted by JPB No Comments

The Samsung AU8000 is a mid-range TV at a reasonable price. The resolution is 4K as in "all" 2021 televisions. This TV stands out for its UltraSlim design not usual in televisions in this price range. The Smart platform is the best, with all the necessary Apps included. In image quality we highlight the CrystalColor color technology, a little superior to the inferior models. The panel is VA (good contrast and low viewing angle) of 50Hz and 8bits, which are typical characteristics of the low-mid range. If you are looking for 100Hz or 10Bits TVs, you have to look at the high-end QLED, which is much more expensive. The audio is perhaps one of the weakest points, enough for watching TV but poor for cinema. The top AU9000 model includes extra features for gamers.

Our opinion Samsung Samsung AU8000 (veredict):

Our opinion on the Samsung AU8000 is quite good if you find it on sale. It is a good enough TV to please most users who watch TV, sports or movies. Its weak points are the viewing angle and the audio, so if you are going to enjoy a home theater we recommend buying an external audio system and if you have a very spacious dining room, with sofas located in the corners, it is better to look for a TV with IPS panel. If you are a pro gamer, it is better to look for the TV of a higher level such as the AU9000. We recommend you buy this sale TV for about 450£ in 50 inches during 2021.
