SAMSUNG 65-Inch Class Crystal Uhd Tu-8000 Series – 4k Uhd Hdr Smart Tv

First thing i did was watch the marvel universe in 4k. I noticed some motion blur on a fast moving special effect and at times it seems the picture would become very dark. I toggled a couple settings that were pretty intuitive and it i haven’t seen those issues since. I am a bit concerned how sports will play out once covid-19 is done with us. So far though i have no complaints. For the cost, getting a really good 4k picture and plenty of features i feel good about my purchase. The only other thing i would say to prospective buyers is that you may need another set of hands to get the tv out of the box and put the stand pieces on. There is almost no assembly but the size makes it a bit difficult to manage alone.

4/25202 update’still working. Picture quality is outstanding. Colors and depth are awesome. Draw back is slight blur when things are moving fast. For the price, i’ll live with the slight blur. Samsung has always been my ‘go-to’ and has not changed. 4/21/202 update:i received the replacement last week on monday 4/13 and have had it in use for almost a week now with no issues. Great picture and decent sound.

I really like this tv overall and am happy with my purchase. I ran some 4k demo videos through the built-in youtube app and the 4k picture is absolutely beautiful. The one minor gripe is that the blacks aren’t truly black, as is the case with all lcd screens, but unless you’re going to pony up the money for an oled, that’s just the way it’s going to be. The sound quality is also quite good from the tv’s built in speakers. I only have a couple of minor complaints overall about the tv. The first is that i’m not really a fan of the modern style ‘minimalist’ remote. Call me old fashioned, but i would prefer to have a number pad, especially when using the built-in spectrum tv app to watch my cable tv channels. But if it really bothers me that much i assume i could probably buy a universal remote to use with the tvmy other minor complaint is that i don’t really like the ‘stand’ that came with the tv. My old samsung tv had a really nice swivel stand that allowed me to turn the tv from side to side, depending on where in the room i was sitting. This tv only has 2 ‘feet’ for a stand, so no swiveling of the tv is really possible.

Simply put, not having a button *anywhere* on the unit to physically turn power on/off (much less other basic functions) is a crime. Sure, most people never use them, but they are useful in a pinch. I’d even settle for the ‘behind the back 5 buttons’ style that is annoying as hell to use, but at least gets the job done. The only other complaint i have:changing inputs requires too many button pushes (home,.3 ‘hotkeys’ for smart inputs are included (netflix, amazon, samsung), but without any customization i’ve seen yet, not much use for anyone who uses hulu over one of the others, for example. And toggling between a cable box and dvd player, or a stream/computer input is annoying. The picture and sound quality are great. I’ve seen better, but not by significant leaps (and none for a better value). Instruction manual is a bit lacking, but nowhere near the travesty of many guides out there. Stands are clearly labelled (moderately idiot-proof; better than the armrests on the chair i ordered a year ago).

After several days with this set, i find that while the set itself is adequate, i cannot say the same for the remote. Sure, it is smart enough to assist in the setup of other devices and control them with only one remote. But first you have figure out how it operates. I want to add my experience thus far with alexa inside. She may be inside, but despite over two hours talking to samsung who finally referred me to amazon, she is still ‘inside. ‘ the only voice command i was able to use is ‘alexa, turn off the tv. ‘ that’s it, no pause, no lower volume, change channel, etc. My trouble began before i even got the set out of the box. The remote and the ‘user manual’ were right up top, the first things you could remove from the box.
