I upgraded from a 1080p tv to the mu 8000 this past july and honestly have no regrets. A lot of reviewers want to knock this tv on viewing angles but i have huge living room and the viewing angles have been fine. If you don't want to blow the money on going QLED I highly recomend this TV.
Humppa it is the same but he means this tv on the review is the one he bought which is a mu8000 and the curved would be mu8500 which i just ordered this is non suhd qled it is one step below but it has 4k uhd hdr color extreme its one step up from regular 4k uhd
Yeah, just did an angle test of this TV against all the OLED competitors at Best Buy and the difference is technically noticeable but completely negligible to my eyes. The angle I have to go to see a severe shift in color and brightness is an angle I couldn’t even watch it from anyway.
Dude you must have a Grudge against Samsung. In YOUR demo the local dimming Samsung looks the best and you still vote for Sony. The viewing angle on the LG is the worst again in your own Demo and you call it the best. Unless you watch TVs side by side at home and try to compare minor details everyone will be satisfied with all these TVs.
What I've noticed from this video is that the viewing angles of the Sony are quite good for a VA, a lot better than the 2 Samsung's in this video. Thank you for a very informative review!
I saw this tv in person yesterday. Its beautiful and has nice clear picture quality. Well worth it for $1599 right now at Bestbuy and Costco. I would like this guy compare my 2013 Panasonic plasma to this tv. Anything out in 2017 is superior to what I use everyday.
That's some heavy ass plastic. When you carrying it out the store it's all good. Wait til ur home and u gotta hook that bitch up on the wall mount. Baaaaabe I need help 😆 🤣 😂
suparobb picture quality is amazing. I got a 4k tv 2 years ago that didnt have any hdr. This Samsung 8 series blows that one out the water with a true HDR. Now i know what 4k is and its great. The apps that r built in are awesome and super fast, even faster than a roku
oh yeah !! its because i returned a Lg 49'' 4k at 650$$ canadian i now i choosed the samsung mu8000 at 1200$$ canadian to have better quality because the lg was very poor and dark , its first time in my life i spend so much money on t.v and i want to have good stuff , thanks for rassurate me :)
suparobb welcome. Some people like these weird settings on their tvs where the picture is really dark. I have mine on dynamic its bright with a billion pixels. I have heard that lg is really dark. The guy at bestbuy told me Samsung and Sony are the best, but Sonys would always freeze
I think they have some issues with Samsung (could be due to not receiving a free review unit from them or something like that) and that is why they have not been praising their TVs as much as Sony's for this whole year. Literally every Samsung TV this year is not a very good TV in their eyes. In the contrast test, you can clearly see that the Sony had much more glow around that white square and also the white cross before that and he is still saying the Sony is better (see this 1:25 and after). I personally have this TV. I bought it exactly 3 weeks ago and it is a phenomenal TV. It is just as good as the Sony if not slightly better. I mean it is no OLED, but it is well worth it for the price you are paying ($1599 vs $1999 for the Sony). The only Sony that I would personally buy over this Samsung is the Z9D, A1E, and 930E, otherwise; buy it and save yourself $400 if you are thinking about getting the Sony 900E. Just my 2 cents.
I'm with you. I'm a very picky when it comes to local dimming. Looking at the comparisons shown as you indicated on 1:25, am I blind to see that MU8000 is better?!
Yeah exactly. In this demo you can clearly see better blacks in the local dimming on Mu8000 but he still calls Sony better. And the viewing angle of the LG is total crap and he calls it best.
The problem here is the Sony is shown with local dimming off but the Samsung cannot turn local dimming off. these are not fair comparisons. if you look at the 900e review with LD on, it is much better than samsung.
Completely agree. I recently bought this TV and it's phenomenal. Picture quality is amazing and sound quality is actually pretty damn good for TV speakers. Plus Samsung's entire smart system and design seems way more polished.
They aren't switched, but the videos are more compressed. Check the individual videos on the reviews on the website for a better quality. But even then, the videos don't do a good justice due to the lens reflections of the camera. The difference is more apparent in person.
Encore une fois, Merci Cedric pour les super infos et test sur télé uhd hdr etc..., cela m'a apporté beaucoup de connaissances sur le sujet de calibration de ma MU7000 curved 55' !!! Merci encore ! Et bonne continuation à vous, bye 👋
Why has Samsung gone backwards in their TV quality? The KS7000 (U.K.) was reviewed much better than their 2017 range, I don't understand how they haven't improved on the 2016 range?
Amazing tv, the only problem i had with it was playing on a standard ps4. The 49” model lacks the blur reduction setting in the motion plus settings tab, so fast motion games didn’t have enough juice to capture fast response times. When i upgraded to the ps4 pro that’s when i noticed a difference. The upgrade to the 4k resolution helped clear the picture and hide the flaw, which seemed like slow response time from lack of blur reduction.
Damon Baird I have the 49 inch mu8000 and it wired it dose not have blur reduction on but the other 65 and 55 inch has it on them but 49 just has judder reduction?
Because of Cedric my interest in the Samsung MU8000 switched to the Sony X900E. Please don't make me regret it as I've placed the order yesterday. I intend to use it as my PC monitor (TV) and do a lot of gaming...
The MU8000 is a good TV,a streamlined version of the KS8000.The TV is very balanced,just enough to give you a great picture,but couldve used a much wider color gamut,cause it has the ability to get pretty bright.Its not doing anything special compared to 2016 models,but you will appreciate the picture quality and black uniformity.Due to prior terrible OP system and remote experience with the 2016 Sony 850D, Sony 900E was not my choice for 2017.If Sony finesses their OP system and remote,they would be all over Samsung and LG.You can't beat Sony's picture and build quality,but if you want a complete TV with smooth operation,go with Samsung or LG.
Not proper review. MU8000 comes with 2 stand sizes 55" and 38.5" so you can put this tv on smaller table as well. Also with almost no bezel and best cable management system it is one of the best looking tv in the market.
I feel like gaming on my ps4 with the mu8000, especially fast paced sports games wasnt great with response time, there were significant trails. Until i picked up the pro, the 4k resolution felt like the response time was bumped and now i love it.
They should do the peek brightness on standard for HDR. When you actually turn off the echo with ambient light and motion lighting it gets way brighter. 😮😮😮
Please video, where these two TV standing next to each other. KS8000 a MU8000? For comparison? A lot of people would be interested in practice.The same source of video signal.THX
I know there are other better tvs out than this one but I have a large room and want a large tv so this model is the only tv I have found that has an 82" for only $3800. Every other set over 75" jumps to $6000+. Hopefully it's worth the $3800 for the 82"
I got the MU8500 at a great price. Even similar model by vizio an Sony were higher price. Considering its low input lag, 120 panel, quality construction, very good picture quality and 4 HDMI 2.0/2.2 it a good buy. Right now they cheap.
So here's my take on the MU8000 vs X900E. I want to Best Buy today and they had both on display. I was pretty blown away by the MU8000 and incredibly disappointed by the Sony. It didn't even look 4K if I'm being honest. Yes, it could be the lighting in the store, the settings they used, the video they're playing etc. but I'm going to trust my eyes before I trust a bunch of nerd tests with white boxes over black backgrounds that I'll never see. So I'm going to get the MU8000 because I'd hate to get the X900E home and find out it looks just like it looks in Best Buy.
I was in store too and had my wife and my Dad and we kept going back to the Samsung over the Sony its picture was so much better in colors popping or being more vivid vs the Sony model. We ended up buying the 65 inch MU8000 and have had it about a 2 weeks now. It's damn nice TV and what I don't get is like every BB rep was over pushing the Sony model. Almost to the point of like car salesman push. I even noticed a couple of them had Sony sewn in the right side of their blue shirts. I think they have to be getting spiffs for sales of Sony TV's and thats why they over pushing them.
This model for the 49" is on sale at Best Buy for $799 should I consider getting it since this would be considered my first 4k TV purchase and I want to get it from a reliable retailer. I would us it for PS4 Pro gaming mostly
Samsung motion rate like other manufacturers is more marketing hype. There are only two native refresh rates 60hz and 120hz. The 49" Samsung MU8000 is the only size in the Samsung 8 Series that is 60hz. All larger sizes are 120hz. Not exactly sure why Samsung has lower refresh rate on 49" other than for price competitive reasons. Keep in mind that there is nothing broadcast in 120hz today
Best review yet! My father has the XBR900E and it's a stunning television. The Android TV system is smooth, lag free, picture quality is amazing even with the sun shining and while gaming. I don't know about audio, he has it hooked up to an external receiver. However, I'm going to try my luck with the 65" MU8000 which is $1450CAD vs $2300CAD for the 65" XBR900E. I can't justify that price difference. I'll be viewing the television head-on, wall mounted at a -10" tilt. Justin Credible
I don't know but in the local dimming demo in this video you said the Sony X900E was the best, but it looked terrible to me and the Samsung MU8000 looked much better. Can you explain? (I watched at 1080p by the way).
The Sony one doesn’t have as much blooming. It may look like it does, but that’s actually the camera being overexposed. Play the actual videos for each (not the side by side here), and you can more easily see that the Sony is indeed better in this regard.
Ok, I took your advice and looked at the vids on rtings.com. The vertical bloom on the Samsung is more apparent there and looks terrible. The Sony looks better but still not that great. I guess they're both better than no local dimming though.
Hello good video again. Is this also noticeable that the vertical vertical stripes and double contours yes with fast movements? This seems to be due to the background lighting.
Do you think it's too bad for the eyes to sit 1.8 meter away from a 55 inch Sony x900e tv? I can't find the 49 inch one only the 55 inch but I can sit away from it maybe 2 meters at most...so I'm asking other people's opinions about it. What do u think?
unfortunately your q&a is down on your site, but i was wondering if you realized that when you're testing native contrast, and you do not have the opportunity to turn off the local dimming completely , the tv isn't getting as bright. on the ks8000 the contrast is higher on the off setting compared to low setting. maybe test all tvs under all settings of local dimming,.
Yes, but it doesn't have an impact for contrast on the MU8000 even if you can't turn off local dimming completely depending on how you measure it. While it doesn't get as bright, the blacks near the whites also don't get as bright, so the contrast stays the same on the checkboard pattern that we use to measure contrast.
Funny...he recommends the x800e at the end cause he says it has better color at wide angles...but then on Ratings.com they say the X800 series has poor viewing angles..it's like..WTH??? SMH
Agree it's irritating. Car reviewers tend to be better reviewers, because they focus on models and competitors same models. They won't say "this Toyota isn't good because there's Mercedes".
i have a question, in germany, the 900xe is 250€ more expensive than the mu7009 (that is the model in germany, but is has the same specs exept the 120hz panel, we get 100hz)
Found a 55" mu8000 for $675 And a 55" mu8500 for $700 And a 55" q6f special edition $800 I'm shopping for tv under $900 my question is which one of these would give me the most bang
You are overreacting. First, not everyone have experienced this unglueing thing. Second, even if so it wont happen right away. It might take a year or more. Thrid, it does not affect how TV works. And lastly, this can be fixed easly even on your own. In the end the advandages outweight the flaws this TV might have.
So, I am using the amazon app on a Samsung MU8000 that I just bought and I can't change the picture size to show a movie on full screen. Chatted with a couple of techs from Samsung and they tell me it is Amazon's app problem. When I go into the picture setting, the picture size is not functioning. Anyone else experienced something so lame? I don't have that problem with my Vizio.
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THE OLDER MODEL SAMSUNG KS8000 HAS BETTER SPECS an when it comes to more nits" of brightness and gaming which one do you recommend???
I need help...my country brings lame models here...I searched and searched but I can't find the Samsung ks8000 or the Sony x900e which sounded like the best ones for 4k hdr.....what I could find in shops is this one MU8000 and some never-heard model Sony xe8096...and also LG sj800y....I need a 49 inch tv....can't have bigger, so....which one is better for gaming? And I care a lot about the picture quality... Please I need help with this :(
lauriL90 Found the sony x900e but only the 55 inch model...problem is I can only sit 2 meters away from it at the most...it won't be too harmful to the eyes?
As for HDMI, i'm still confused on what is better 4:4:4 at 8bit HDR or fully HDR10?? Since it can't handle 4:4:4 at HDR (meaning full 10 bit HDR aka HDR10.
This review is full of shit. He didn't even know that the stand can be moved to two different positions. Also this TV goes up to 82 inch SMH. OLED TV's burn in. Not good for gaming!
Yeah but how is the grain dealt with on this tv? Grainy mess is distracting and you cant concentrate when dancing grain is on someones forhead. And how does it handle 480p? Not everything got a new release. Is the blacks on here too black? Cuz too black means you cant see night scenes. These are my questions. Lol
Hi i am from argentina. I wanted to know what would be the south american version of the tv samsung 55mu8500, since that version does not exist here. We have the 55mu7500 that i think could be the same. Thanks!
Great video question looking to pick up a LED TV which one you recommend the Sony X 900 e or x930e my budget $2700 I like to play video games and watch 4K movies or you can recommend me to another TV please let me know thanks
2700? Why pay for a led tv at this price? Get the lg 55 inches c7 why ? Good input lag at about 22ms but the BIG difference is the pixel response time at only 0.1ms vs 11ms with a led display. Not only u will get a nice picture but u will get a nice picture in motion. Trust me i have done about 10 hours of research for the best gaming/ movie tv and this is it the lg c7. I dont know where u live but if ur lucky - I am not i live in Canada so an oled tv is 3000$ Tax incl. so i am saving for the c7- and have the chance to have a good price on a oled tv go for it. The 900e is about the same for movies but the responsivness of the tv will never beat the oled.._ do you play fast fps ? Do u need an agressive display ? Hope it helps a little for further questions write back dont hesitate
holycrusader I had to return my OLED because of permanent screen burn in. So although it doesn't happen to everyone... It does happen. Not recommended for gaming or PC use!!! Also if you know anything about motion you should know Sony x900e is the best because of their superior X1 processor chip. OLEDs aren't the best for motion and judder compared to this Sony because of the processor too,
MOnsta, thanks for ur reply. I am going to buy a 4k tv this week. Oled burn in on ur set? Did u have an older oled model because they largely improve that problem I guess with c7, b7. I thought oled motion was the best of the best. did you finally get the 900e or the 930e ? i am going at best best this Friday to pick one of the 2 (c7 or 900e) ... (i dont think 930e is worth it for increase brightness and lower input lag) I am still on the fence ( i play games at night so oled is very appealing) between the 2 because this year the war seems to be between these 2 models! 55900e is 2000 $ can and c7 is 2500$ can ( on sale now). I don't know who to trust, which technology to trust. This makes my choice very hard!
Based on this guy I bought the xe900 Sony.. It will be returned this week for the mu8000.. The Sony in the dark was terrible and the blacks felt like they were constantly changing color and the it always seemed fuzzy.. I hope the mu8000 works well I've always been a Samsung guy..
I'm having a tough time deciding between this and the ks8000, main focus is on gaming and watching sports. I get that the KS8000 has better picture but i read this one handles motions better and it has better response time which is very important for gaming and sports.
I have been doing research on a good 4K HDR TV's for a month now, this TV was in my consideration but now I think I'll just go with the Sony X900E and pray that I don't get a defective one like some people have claimed and that the input lag is bearable since I mostly play fighting and shooting games(Destiny, Halo, Call of duty, Injustice,Tekken,Naruto,Gears of war, etc).
TheLegendarygamer01 "Defective one like people have claimed"? I haven't really seen a over abundance of complaints outside the reasonable margin. Elaborate please.
The American Soccer Guy Some people have said they received a defective one where the TV wouldn't turn on or it burned out after a couple days or there were weird lines that appeared on screen. Your right there wasn't an abundance of those complaints on Amazon and Best Buy but it still worries me since I'm having the TV shipped to my apartment.
TheLegendarygamer01 Well that will be for any tv then. Shouldn't be concerned of having it happening at a higher chance with the 900e. It's a stunning tv.
congratulations very good page, I have some questions that I hope you can help me before, that nothing is the recommended calibration for hdr in the mu8000 of 55 since the temperature of the warm color 2 looks very yellow while in sdr it looks good, for the Can I copy your calibration of color space and white balance? Buy this tv mu8000 of 55 but seeing so many good reviews of Sony x900e was not a good purchase, tell me that the image difference is really worth it, pay $ 400 more for the sound of a more basic design and with a delay much higher than mu8000, have an androi system worse than Samsung with the adactador brick, you tube is not hdr, connection that I find very functional since I do not have to go behind the television to connect everything, I can not return my mu8000 tv since the I have 15 days ago and here in my country the stores give 8 days of time for that besides they do not give cash if it is not a bonus to get anything else and they do not have the sony x900e I have not been able to enjoy my TV knowing that I do not buy something very good, first I bought the mu6300 from 55 and I sold it to the 15 days that I did not like at all, then I buy this and if I notice the change in all aspects remarkably but now I see the x900e and it's better because I read in many places and I say no more than if the mu8000 costs 400 dollars less thank you very much excuse my english, greetings from colombia help me with a not so basic configuration for this TV in HDR and SDR Abrir en Google Traductor Comentarios Traductor de Google
Mattchew UK it was the first batch model that was having that problem, they fixed that with the latest batch model, and I don't see that happening to my TV which is the latest batch model, Samsung already fixed that problem.
I upgraded from a 1080p tv to the mu 8000 this past july and honestly have no regrets. A lot of reviewers want to knock this tv on viewing angles but i have huge living room and the viewing angles have been fine. If you don't want to blow the money on going QLED I highly recomend this TV.
I think QLED and SUHD is the same thing
Humppa it is the same but he means this tv on the review is the one he bought which is a mu8000 and the curved would be mu8500 which i just ordered this is non suhd qled it is one step below but it has 4k uhd hdr color extreme its one step up from regular 4k uhd

This is supposed to be a review on the mu8000 but this guy made it to a sony tv sales video.....
because we don't live in a vacuum so he has to compare it to what's currently available and competing with it....
Lmao!
I'm addicted to the accent! Also this might be the best review site I have yet come across.
Dude you must have a Grudge against Samsung. In YOUR demo the local dimming Samsung looks the best and you still vote for Sony. The viewing angle on the LG is the worst again in your own Demo and you call it the best. Unless you watch TVs side by side at home and try to compare minor details everyone will be satisfied with all these TVs.
Nima Javadi I was thinking the same thing, I wonder why these guys are always doing this to Samsung. This TV is great.
Damet garm Nima
those pictures are with LD turned off. When you test that way, Samsung seems better, but that is because you cannot really turn LD off on Samsung.
Ditto. It looked awesome on Samsung
Cedric is the man. I hope he never leaves rtings.
if Cedric got fired there would be world-wide riots in every major city
What I've noticed from this video is that the viewing angles of the Sony are quite good for a VA, a lot better than the 2 Samsung's in this video. Thank you for a very informative review!
I have the mu8000 and the viewing angle is really shit. If i now that i not buy the tv, then i buy a tv with a ips panel.
I saw this tv in person yesterday. Its beautiful and has nice clear picture quality. Well worth it for $1599 right now at Bestbuy and Costco.
I would like this guy compare my 2013 Panasonic plasma to this tv. Anything out in 2017 is superior to what I use everyday.
The build quality is cheap because its plastic? What Tvs are you seeing that arent made from plastic? lol
Kenne English lol hilarious. He just doesn't like samsung.
Yeah no kidding
That's some heavy ass plastic. When you carrying it out the store it's all good. Wait til ur home and u gotta hook that bitch up on the wall mount. Baaaaabe I need help 😆 🤣 😂
@@felixlugo4840 lol
This review is garbage. The series 8 has a great picture
At the end of the day it about what looks good to your eyes.
Love my mu8000 phenomenal tv
Larenzo Luciano right! The picture quality is awesome and it has true HDR
i wait for my mu8000 55'' on command , but now with all this review i dont know if i do a good choice pls tell me its a really good tv
suparobb picture quality is amazing. I got a 4k tv 2 years ago that didnt have any hdr. This Samsung 8 series blows that one out the water with a true HDR. Now i know what 4k is and its great. The apps that r built in are awesome and super fast, even faster than a roku

Love these guys they do a very good in depth review. Please can you do 4k tv gaming review, would be helpful.
Isn't the Local Dimming test switched? I mean in this test the MU8000 looks miles ahead of the Sony X900E and we know that's not the case!
They aren't switched, but the videos are more compressed. Check the individual videos on the reviews on the website for a better quality. But even then, the videos don't do a good justice due to the lens reflections of the camera. The difference is more apparent in person.
Ok then, thanks! I thought it was weird because the MU8000 does look better in this video :p

The MU8500 great mid range T.V fast set up ! Great apps & very low lag time ! When the settings are set up for your room it is just great !
Thank you for the Sony X900E review, now can you talk more about the MU8000
Love these reviews. No BS just the Numbers
Why has Samsung gone backwards in their TV quality? The KS7000 (U.K.) was reviewed much better than their 2017 range, I don't understand how they haven't improved on the 2016 range?
im getting confused, this tv is called MU7000 in the uk?
maybe, in Mexico its called MU7000 too
and in Iran it's MU8990

kishona69 I returned my mu8500 for x900e and don't regret my decision at all...
What do you use it for mainly? Gaming, movies, PC? I'd like to know how well it does in each category. Thanks in advance.
kishona69 I use it for gaming on my PS4 pro and watching game of thrones. I play fps and 2k and had no problems with it at all.
kishona69 input lag isn't better than samsung but ull be fine
i have command on mu8000 55'' ..., but now i dont know whats to do , cancel the samsung for the sony x900e ??
The MU8000 is a good TV,a streamlined version of the KS8000.The TV is very balanced,just enough to give you a great picture,but couldve used a much wider color gamut,cause it has the ability to get pretty bright.Its not doing anything special compared to 2016 models,but you will appreciate the picture quality and black uniformity.Due to prior terrible OP system and remote experience with the 2016 Sony 850D, Sony 900E was not my choice for 2017.If Sony finesses their OP system and remote,they would be all over Samsung and LG.You can't beat Sony's picture and build quality,but if you want a complete TV with smooth operation,go with Samsung or LG.

review is cool, short, but with all info. GJ!
Please video, where these two TV standing next to each other. KS8000 a MU8000? For comparison? A lot of people would be interested in practice.The same source of video signal.THX
Samsung rules! I have 2 in my house, and the PQ is phenomenal.
I think that you just don't like samsung tv's lol
This is pretty clear in this video....=(
Actually , if you go on sony website you will see his youtube channel advertised so it's pretty clear
Michael now what’s better Samsung nu8000 or Samsung mu8500
I appreciate the captions, but I can understand perfectly ^___^
cool accent btw
any plans to review the TCL C807?
Yes, 3-4 weeks if everything goes well
Hey guys what about to MU7000?
This tv is called Mu7000 in France ?
You say the mu8000 is the same as the mu8500 but on your website, you post the 8500 brighter than the 8000. Am I missing something here?
Only video that mentioned 60 hz in 49 inch ,,thanks!!!
lmao the thing is none of those tvs are really doing 120/240 hz it's a marketing scam doofus
Costco has the MU8000 55inch on sale through September 2 for $1079.00. That's a sweet deal for a great 4K tv
Sounds like this guy is being paid by Sony. Not a reliable review and comparison.
hahahaha lol......... of course, whatever helps you sleep more comfy at night buddy.... keep thinking that
Sony is the outstanding TVs (900, 930, 940)
That's perfectly true, I've checked myself in the shop.
This guy needs to get his eyes checked. I have the mu8000 and the PQ is amazing! Especially in 4k
I know there are other better tvs out than this one but I have a large room and want a large tv so this model is the only tv I have found that has an 82" for only $3800. Every other set over 75" jumps to $6000+. Hopefully it's worth the $3800 for the 82"
I got the MU8500 at a great price. Even similar model by vizio an Sony were higher price. Considering its low input lag, 120 panel, quality construction, very good picture quality and 4 HDMI 2.0/2.2 it a good buy. Right now they cheap.
I rather have the Samsung ks8000 but I can't find it new any where please help...
Did you find one? I'm looking too
Niko Bellic hell no it's hard to find!
Yea im seeing them on amazon but i think they are used or refurbished. looks like we might be screwed :(
Isn't the Samsung sign at the bottom of the tv supposed to light up???
Great Reviews keep it up guys I appreciate it
After researching this model I ditched Oled for the imaging hiring it creates but I look forward buying this tv or the 900xe model
Very good review
Is this model equivalent to the ue55mu7000 in Europe?
Great detailed review! Thumbs up.
So here's my take on the MU8000 vs X900E. I want to Best Buy today and they had both on display. I was pretty blown away by the MU8000 and incredibly disappointed by the Sony. It didn't even look 4K if I'm being honest. Yes, it could be the lighting in the store, the settings they used, the video they're playing etc. but I'm going to trust my eyes before I trust a bunch of nerd tests with white boxes over black backgrounds that I'll never see. So I'm going to get the MU8000 because I'd hate to get the X900E home and find out it looks just like it looks in Best Buy.
I was in store too and had my wife and my Dad and we kept going back to the Samsung over the Sony its picture was so much better in colors popping or being more vivid vs the Sony model. We ended up buying the 65 inch MU8000 and have had it about a 2 weeks now. It's damn nice TV and what I don't get is like every BB rep was over pushing the Sony model. Almost to the point of like car salesman push. I even noticed a couple of them had Sony sewn in the right side of their blue shirts. I think they have to be getting spiffs for sales of Sony TV's and thats why they over pushing them.
This model for the 49" is on sale at Best Buy for $799 should I consider getting it since this would be considered my first 4k TV purchase and I want to get it from a reliable retailer. I would us it for PS4 Pro gaming mostly
But all mu8000 have a motion rate of 120.....
Samsung motion rate like other manufacturers is more marketing hype. There are only two native refresh rates 60hz and 120hz. The 49" Samsung MU8000 is the only size in the Samsung 8 Series that is 60hz. All larger sizes are 120hz. Not exactly sure why Samsung has lower refresh rate on 49" other than for price competitive reasons. Keep in mind that there is nothing broadcast in 120hz today
Best review yet! My father has the XBR900E and it's a stunning television. The Android TV system is smooth, lag free, picture quality is amazing even with the sun shining and while gaming. I don't know about audio, he has it hooked up to an external receiver. However, I'm going to try my luck with the 65" MU8000 which is $1450CAD vs $2300CAD for the 65" XBR900E. I can't justify that price difference. I'll be viewing the television head-on, wall mounted at a -10" tilt.
Justin Credible
I don't know but in the local dimming demo in this video you said the Sony X900E was the best, but it looked terrible to me and the Samsung MU8000 looked much better. Can you explain? (I watched at 1080p by the way).
The Sony one doesn’t have as much blooming. It may look like it does, but that’s actually the camera being overexposed. Play the actual videos for each (not the side by side here), and you can more easily see that the Sony is indeed better in this regard.
Ok, I took your advice and looked at the vids on rtings.com. The vertical bloom on the Samsung is more apparent there and looks terrible. The Sony looks better but still not that great. I guess they're both better than no local dimming though.
John Crafton sony has a dark black screen
Sony has the double light output. It makes the blooming more apparent on cameras but in real life our eyes adapt to the strong light.
Hello good video again. Is this also noticeable that the vertical vertical stripes and double contours yes with fast movements?
This seems to be due to the background lighting.
For watching movies which one is better among sony 55X900E vs 55X9300D.
Why would a 60hz display have trouble displaying 24 FPS content?
Do you think it's too bad for the eyes to sit 1.8 meter away from a 55 inch Sony x900e tv? I can't find the 49 inch one only the 55 inch but I can sit away from it maybe 2 meters at most...so I'm asking other people's opinions about it. What do u think?
unfortunately your q&a is down on your site, but i was wondering if you realized that when you're testing native contrast, and you do not have the opportunity to turn off the local dimming completely , the tv isn't getting as bright. on the ks8000 the contrast is higher on the off setting compared to low setting. maybe test all tvs under all settings of local dimming,.
Yes, but it doesn't have an impact for contrast on the MU8000 even if you can't turn off local dimming completely depending on how you measure it. While it doesn't get as bright, the blacks near the whites also don't get as bright, so the contrast stays the same on the checkboard pattern that we use to measure contrast.
Great Video as usual 👍
Does the 49 inch variant have worse motion blur because it's 60hz?
Hey guys. What does he mean by larger TV's having uniformity issues ?
You should review the sony kd43x720e
Every review this guy does he up-sells a pricier TV. The TH-cam salesman. CLICK. goodbye.
Gregarious Solitudinist agree
Funny...he recommends the x800e at the end cause he says it has better color at wide angles...but then on Ratings.com they say the X800 series has poor viewing angles..it's like..WTH??? SMH
Who would have guessed a tv review recommends the better tv. *rolls eyes*
Couldn’t listen to that voice for very long
Agree it's irritating. Car reviewers tend to be better reviewers, because they focus on models and competitors same models. They won't say "this Toyota isn't good because there's Mercedes".
I'm about to buy this tv. Trying to find out if there are any way to hook up Component cables.
Unfortunately not on the TV itself. There are component to HDMI adapters (eg. on Amazon), however we don't know how they perform.
I have the SAMSUNG 8000, it has a beautiful picture! Why so many negative reviews?!🤔
Samsung TV reviewed by Sony agent?
Please how can I get the 75” of this TV
Does this tv has the same back panel seperation issue that plauged the KS8000 series?
i have a question, in germany, the 900xe is 250€ more expensive than the mu7009 (that is the model in germany, but is has the same specs exept the 120hz panel, we get 100hz)
Found a 55" mu8000 for $675
And a 55" mu8500 for $700
And a 55" q6f special edition $800
I'm shopping for tv under $900 my question is which one of these would give me the most bang
How does this compare to the ks8000 ? That tv was so well received
ks8000 is way better
KS8000 (or KS7000 in UK and Europe) is better than this in every way. If MU8000 was cheaper it would be a good alternative to high-end TV's.
You are overreacting. First, not everyone have experienced this unglueing thing. Second, even if so it wont happen right away. It might take a year or more. Thrid, it does not affect how TV works. And lastly, this can be fixed easly even on your own.
In the end the advandages outweight the flaws this TV might have.
+Mattchew UK That was the defective launch units. They fixed that now
I own the 65" and the PQ is great!! Buy it.
Bought MU8045 from sale 1099$, woth it. Only difference i could tell is the remote, came with silver remote :D?
So, I am using the amazon app on a Samsung MU8000 that I just bought and I can't change the picture size to show a movie on full screen. Chatted with a couple of techs from Samsung and they tell me it is Amazon's app problem. When I go into the picture setting, the picture size is not functioning. Anyone else experienced something so lame? I don't have that problem with my Vizio.
Why isn't samsung making more TV's like the KS8000. Surely their marketing team noticed it was high in demand?
When to review MU7000? Great review btw :)
All the MU series are garbage compared to the KS series. The KS series are pretty much the QLED but a bit lower in brightness.
Is the Sony X900E called something else in Europe? I can't find that model.
Xe9005 👍
Thank you!
i set blur and judder reduction to 0 but i still get judder. what do i do?
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THE OLDER MODEL SAMSUNG KS8000 HAS BETTER SPECS an when it comes to more nits" of brightness and gaming which one do you recommend???
Is my Samsung mu7000 55” UHD premium compliant? Aka.. hdr 10 specs
I need help...my country brings lame models here...I searched and searched but I can't find the Samsung ks8000 or the Sony x900e which sounded like the best ones for 4k hdr.....what I could find in shops is this one MU8000 and some never-heard model Sony xe8096...and also LG sj800y....I need a 49 inch tv....can't have bigger, so....which one is better for gaming? And I care a lot about the picture quality...
Please I need help with this :(
lauriL90 Found the sony x900e but only the 55 inch model...problem is I can only sit 2 meters away from it at the most...it won't be too harmful to the eyes?
As for HDMI, i'm still confused on what is better 4:4:4 at 8bit HDR or fully HDR10?? Since it can't handle 4:4:4 at HDR (meaning full 10 bit HDR aka HDR10.
It depends on the content. For HDR movies and most video games, 4:2:0 10 bit would be better than 4:4:4 8 bit.
Can OLED TV good on handling HDR better than Samsung QLED TV
This review is full of shit. He didn't even know that the stand can be moved to two different positions. Also this TV goes up to 82 inch SMH.
OLED TV's burn in. Not good for gaming!
Gorilla Jones I think this guy clearly has something against Samsung, he's always knocking them
Cedric - What happen to the KS8000 or its successor?
QLED
Thanks. Thats what I found out later. I ended up getting the ks8000 and i love it.
Yeah but how is the grain dealt with on this tv?
Grainy mess is distracting and you cant concentrate when dancing grain is on someones forhead.
And how does it handle 480p?
Not everything got a new release.
Is the blacks on here too black?
Cuz too black means you cant see night scenes.
These are my questions. Lol
What's the difference between mu 8000 and mu8005?
Ср Хйт 8005 is curvd
Hi i am from argentina. I wanted to know what would be the south american version of the tv samsung 55mu8500, since that version does not exist here. We have the 55mu7500 that i think could be the same. Thanks!
MU7500 is series 7 tv. Mu 8000 is series 8 TV
Hi, a few months ago I bought this tv, but it doesn't apper to have PIP option, can anyone claryfied to me
Great video question looking to pick up a LED TV which one you recommend the Sony X 900 e or x930e my budget $2700 I like to play video games and watch 4K movies or you can recommend me to another TV please let me know thanks
2700? Why pay for a led tv at this price? Get the lg 55 inches c7 why ? Good input lag at about 22ms but the BIG difference is the pixel response time at only 0.1ms vs 11ms with a led display. Not only u will get a nice picture but u will get a nice picture in motion. Trust me i have done about 10 hours of research for the best gaming/ movie tv and this is it the lg c7. I dont know where u live but if ur lucky - I am not i live in Canada so an oled tv is 3000$ Tax incl. so i am saving for the c7- and have the chance to have a good price on a oled tv go for it. The 900e is about the same for movies but the responsivness of the tv will never beat the oled.._ do you play fast fps ? Do u need an agressive display ? Hope it helps a little for further questions write back dont hesitate
holycrusader I had to return my OLED because of permanent screen burn in. So although it doesn't happen to everyone... It does happen. Not recommended for gaming or PC use!!! Also if you know anything about motion you should know Sony x900e is the best because of their superior X1 processor chip. OLEDs aren't the best for motion and judder compared to this Sony because of the processor too,
MOnsta, thanks for ur reply. I am going to buy a 4k tv this week. Oled burn in on ur set? Did u have an older oled model because they largely improve that problem I guess with c7, b7. I thought oled motion was the best of the best. did you finally get the 900e or the 930e ? i am going at best best this Friday to pick one of the 2 (c7 or 900e) ... (i dont think 930e is worth it for increase brightness and lower input lag) I am still on the fence ( i play games at night so oled is very appealing) between the 2 because this year the war seems to be between these 2 models! 55900e is 2000 $ can and c7 is 2500$ can ( on sale now). I don't know who to trust, which technology to trust. This makes my choice very hard!
Based on this guy I bought the xe900 Sony.. It will be returned this week for the mu8000.. The Sony in the dark was terrible and the blacks felt like they were constantly changing color and the it always seemed fuzzy.. I hope the mu8000 works well I've always been a Samsung guy..
Alex James have you had problems with judder? the judder is so bad its unwatchable this cant be 24p 5:5
Alex James did you calibrate it? I thought this tv was supposed to be phenomenal in the dark..
confused between this one and mu8000
I'm having a tough time deciding between this and the ks8000, main focus is on gaming and watching sports. I get that the KS8000 has better picture but i read this one handles motions better and it has better response time which is very important for gaming and sports.
GiantPizzaSunset get the ks8000 if you can find one. They are few and far between at this point.
How does the PS4 look on it?
I have european mu6675 ,what model is in usa?
Please help me get one of this TV 75”
Hey Cedric , are you gonna review the new LG 55SJ8500 SUPER UHD NANO CELL? I'm looking for this tv but i want to see the review first. Thx man.
I have been doing research on a good 4K HDR TV's for a month now, this TV was in my consideration but now I think I'll just go with the Sony X900E and pray that I don't get a defective one like some people have claimed and that the input lag is bearable since I mostly play fighting and shooting games(Destiny, Halo, Call of duty, Injustice,Tekken,Naruto,Gears of war, etc).
TheLegendarygamer01 "Defective one like people have claimed"? I haven't really seen a over abundance of complaints outside the reasonable margin. Elaborate please.
The American Soccer Guy Some people have said they received a defective one where the TV wouldn't turn on or it burned out after a couple days or there were weird lines that appeared on screen. Your right there wasn't an abundance of those complaints on Amazon and Best Buy but it still worries me since I'm having the TV shipped to my apartment.
TheLegendarygamer01 Well that will be for any tv then. Shouldn't be concerned of having it happening at a higher chance with the 900e. It's a stunning tv.
The American Soccer Guy Do you own a Sony X900E?
TheLegendarygamer01 I do. I also own a ks9800. The mu8000 was almost my TV but I just hated it.
congratulations very good page, I have some questions that I hope you can help me before, that nothing is the recommended calibration for hdr in the mu8000 of 55 since the temperature of the warm color 2 looks very yellow while in sdr it looks good, for the Can I copy your calibration of color space and white balance?
Buy this tv mu8000 of 55 but seeing so many good reviews of Sony x900e was not a good purchase, tell me that the image difference is really worth it, pay $ 400 more for the sound of a more basic design and with a delay much higher than mu8000, have an androi system worse than Samsung with the adactador brick, you tube is not hdr, connection that I find very functional since I do not have to go behind the television to connect everything, I can not return my mu8000 tv since the I have 15 days ago and here in my country the stores give 8 days of time for that besides they do not give cash if it is not a bonus to get anything else and they do not have the sony x900e
I have not been able to enjoy my TV knowing that I do not buy something very good, first I bought the mu6300 from 55 and I sold it to the 15 days that I did not like at all, then I buy this and if I notice the change in all aspects remarkably but now I see the x900e and it's better because I read in many places and I say no more than if the mu8000 costs 400 dollars less thank you very much excuse my english, greetings from colombia help me with a not so basic configuration for this TV in HDR and SDR

55mu8000 50hz 60hz 100hz ?
sony x800e or samsung mu8000 at the same price, for pc gaming(i use tv as pc monitor).
Is the MU series the 2017 version os the KS? Or is it less in quality than a KS?
No. The equivalent of KS series this year are the QLED models. the MU8000 and below don't have the quantom dot technology.
One suggestion
Remove the captions please
We understand you fully
Hi am from UK I searched ks8000 tv series Samsung but I can't get it.
Mattchew UK shut up ks8000 better, I don't have any issues on mine.
Mattchew UK it was the first batch model that was having that problem, they fixed that with the latest batch model, and I don't see that happening to my TV which is the latest batch model, Samsung already fixed that problem.
