I have the 75 inch AU8000

[@rbrand44]

bought the 55 inch from Costco. good. will not run my BELL TV Fibe app. software could be better. I understand could be better but happyfor the sale price i paid.

[@judmcc]

I saw your review of the 7200 earlier and I put it into my shopping cart - it seemed exactly what I needed. But the voice-controlled remote control of the 8000 is a game-changer, so now the 8000 is in my shopping cart.

Loved your video im sold !! Went down to Costco the other day to pick up the Samsung 55" Crystal. Let's just say I chicken out !! After seeing your video im in love and I definitely have to go back and pick it up sense my old Samsung is not compatible with Netflix anymore. Yup time to update!! Thank you , Alejandro

Tech Steve, Thank you for covering all TVs. I love the fact that you cover from Sony X95L to Insignia Fire TV. Great review as always

[@MSDOGS1976]

True. Most reviewers only look at the higher end. People on a budget need reviews too for the prices they are willing to spend.

[@yoravgjoe]

This is a great TV upgrade at the perfect price and quality. I don't need 120hz if I'm not a gamer and the motion enhancement is enough for watching sports. 4k is plenty considering most live TV still isn't even broadcasting in 4k. Thanks for video.

[@deckenciumdecross3422]

The Du55" has an ips panel in some countries, i wouldn't recommend it,i have one and i regret buying it, i would suggest checking the viewing angles before purchasing it, if the colors don't washout off angle view, its an ips

[@TechSteve]

@deckenciumdecross3422 Color accuracy: IPS displays can produce more accurate colors than other types of displays. They can show 256 shades of each primary color, which is more natural than the 64 shades per primary color shown by TN monitors. Wide viewing angles: IPS displays can be viewed from almost any angle and still produce an accurate image. They have a viewing range of up to 178 degrees. Improved contrast: IPS displays have better contrast than some other display types. Fast response times: IPS displays have fast response times. Direct sunlight visibility: IPS displays deliver higher quality images in sunny conditions than other display types. Energy-saving features: IPS monitors have energy-saving features.

Thank you for you in depth review. I am a 70 year old trying to understand modern TV technology. Question: when a TV spec says it has Blutooth, does that mean it can send the audio to my Blutooth headphones? Or is that only so it can receive Blutooth from say my laptop? I have bad hearing and depend on wireless Blutooth headphones to hear a TV. But my current TV has a headphone output and I connect a Blutooth transmitter to that jack. So if this model cannot send the audio to my headphones, does it at least have a headphone jack?

[@TechSteve]

You can add Bluetooth headphones 🎧 to the TV

[@jamesmurray2876]

Great video this is definitely one to add to the collection

[@johnnyboy-f6v]

[@cgrscott]

I bought the DU8000 today, after watching your review video and your unboxing video. I'm glad to learn that I can adjust the Judder Control to reduce that soap opera effect. My brother in-law's Samsung had that soap opera effect and I did not like it. Since my local Micro Center allowed me to sample the physical DU8000 TV in person, with a sales rep to answer my questions, I gave them the curtesy of buying the unit from their store instead of from Amazon or B&H Photo.

Hey, new to the channel, our Oled broke and we are able tp get a replacement but the company is only allowing us to pick from 5. Samsung tu690t, cu7000, du7200 and LG uq75. Which one would you recommend? Id preffer to get anoyher oled but adurion limited the choices 😢

[@CalebCM]

Hey man, u should try and ask for money instead of a replacement, going from a oled to one of those tvs will be such a huge downgrade. Send a email to ur insurance and ask for money back, and state how those tvs are not comparable to the oled.

[@TechSteve]

I agree

Those TVs are awful compared to the Oled and will probably be less durable too

Are you using the Apple TV for your demo's on this set like you have on other reviews lately?

[@TechSteve]

Just for the movie

[@realitybites8558]

@@TechSteve So we don't know what the Apple TV processing and 4k upscaling is doing vs what the tv is capable of by itself? There is no way to completely disable all of the Apple TV's internal processing or upscaling, so what we are seeing is just what the tv changes based on what the Apple TV is already doing based on whatever your settings are in the Apple TV. Some of us don't (and won't) use an Apple TV and we really want to see what the set is doing on it's own without additional external processing. Please take into account and at least note where you are using external processing sources and if you do - that you can turn off all of it's processing. Thanks.

[@TechSteve]

@realitybites8558 the best way is to buy and try. These videos is so you can get an idea of the performance

[@realitybites8558]

@@TechSteve Most everyone is not going to buy sets just to try - we want to buy and be done with it - that's why we watch reviews like yours. You are making my point that we don't know what the performance of the tv is if you are using an external source that is doing some or all of the processing/upscaling. We want to know from reviewers what the tv can do natively on their own.

[@kcstereo]

Hey Steve. My observation is that I am hesitant to buy a tv like this based on your opening statements of how company's are going with mini-led and Oled. I also noticed that mostly Samsung is the main company still producing edge-lit tv's. I'm concerned because I believe that edge-lit is the cheapest type tv to manufacture. That makes me hesitate and think... "Am I getting a crappy tv by choosing edge-lit"?? I also reviewed R-tings and they did not favor this tv well. What are your thoughts and are edge-lit tv's something to stay away from?? Advise and thanks for your input

[@HennesseeVol]

RTings politely trashed this tv

[@natskar]

I wouldn't be too worried about edge-lit vs direct-lit vs etc, in my experience, I've had both direct and edge lit tv's and samsung does a pretty good job with how they implement their technology. Really comes down to how much the manufacturer cares to properly implement the technology at the given price point, for example I have had a Sony in the same price range that was direct lit and it was tashhhh compared to the similarly priced samsung with an edge-lit panel. A fantastic samsung tv that's a model higher that is a great example of this is the Q60C (or Q60D now), it is edge lit, but black level is deep and uniformity is stellar

[@ishkapiska4516]

This is rly their entry level (budget) tv.. not comparable at all to Oled or miniled

[@HennesseeVol]

@@ishkapiska4516 $529? $100 and change more you can get a hisense u8k. Samsung is finished.

Edge-lit vs Direct led is still boils down to implementation. I had a TCL and LG direct led which performs worst than my Sony Edge lit.

@@TechSteve Hue Sync app can sync your Hue lights with whats on your screen. I think its only available on Q60 and above.

Is it 43 inch or 50 inch in size??

[@dazza9859]

That’s a 50 inch

[@TechSteve]

They are the same far as specs however the smaller the TV, the clearer the image

[@varudds]

I still lack examples of the picture quality when I comes to live TV...

[@TechSteve]

I have to limit because of copyright strikes, KZbin terms and conditions

What tv version of this can support ps5??

[@TechSteve]

Any

[@danielestrella4365]

I meant in 120hz sorry ​@TechSteve

[@TechSteve]

@danielestrella4365 nope, q70D minimum to get 120Hz

[@danielestrella4365]

@TechSteve is it worth the extra to get the q70? For the extra 60hz? Vs q60D? Or is the DU8000 better option? That's what I'm contemplating, between difference in HZ for gaming and fiber optic output, nice color/contrast for gaming/tv. I will get a 55inch of whatever you believe is better overall. You can be blunt. I trust your judgment

[@Danz11115]

@@TechSteve I hear 85 inch of this TV supports 120

[@natskar]

Honestly it's looking like a CU8000 refresh. If the CU8000 is still around and someone is considering the new one, I'd just get the CU8000

[@TechSteve]

When I get some time i will compare them

Just bought a 55inch and noticed they used An Ips panel and not VA one 😢

[@TechSteve]

I’m pretty sure it’s a VA, Samsung mainly uses ips on neo qled series www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/70f53aaa

[@deckenciumdecross3422]

I contacted Samsung and they didn't deny the use of an ips panel in my region, it' has too much clouding that is very distracting while watching night scenes and letter boxed contents. They promised to book it for warranty.

[@zCatalinAslan]

How did you find out? What is the difference?

[@deckenciumdecross3422]

@@zCatalinAslan you can tell when watching letter boxed content the the backlit is more visible at the top or bottom /the black bars will look grey on ips than on VA Panels, the most distinguishing character is the viewing angle, the ips panel content remain colorful even when viewed from an off angle but on VA the colors will start to shift when viewied from an off angle

[@deckenciumdecross3422]

Im a movie fan, and movies look so good on VA panels than on ips , especially night scenes because VA Panels have a higher native contrast ratio than the ips counterpart, The ips panel ain't bad they can be good for content creation ( video and picture editing as they have more natural color rendition and high response time when used as a monitor pc ) For movies they might be good but atleast on mini led /full array backlit with micro dimming Tvs which tend to be expensive
