My man. I've spent literally all of today darting between different TVs, specs, prices, availability and on and on and on. Your review has helped me at the end of this hellish day. I appreciate it massively. I've gone ahead and ordered this TV and a sound bar to go with it. 👍
@@atedinahalf6288 It's great. No complaints at all. Best TV I've owned. Sound is a bit thin but I knew that going in so priced a soundbar in. Hard to find a TV that isn't like that these days.
Best reviewer out there comfortable and straight to the point video’s! Bought this TV from this video honestly been watching movies and gaming on it and looks great I can’t even notice the difference from other higher end TVs either like The other reviewers do sometimes people don’t want to spend a fortune for very minor unnoticeable resolution Great review brother
My God I completely agree. I had higher end tvs I can't tell a massive difference watching 4k movieson 4k player which I love . This tv is fantastic in 4k
Wonderful entry level TV. Initially bought a 55" Sony X80J, and found the picture to be dark, grainy and fuzzy. Exchanged it for the Samsung AU8000 in the same size. The Samsung picture is clear and bright, with vibrant colours. The Samsung Plus free live TV channels are great also. Thanks for reviewing this TV. 💙
I did exactly the same thing. Bought a Sony 55 80J, terrible picture, then got the AU80000. I agree it has great color and depth but one thing that jappens is the audio and video go out of sync on a regular basis and for no reason. Any idea's or suggestions on how to fix this?
I also have spent the past week jumping between different tvs, trying to decide what to get. So many options and so many mixed reviews. But this video just sealed the deal. I'm now ordering a Samsung 55" au8000. Thank you brother.
Hi Tech Steve 🙂 I've been watching a lot of your videos because I was searching for a reasonably priced 4KTV for gaming, Blu rays, DVDs & anime. Thanks to your videos, I've chosen the 55' Samsung AU8000 & I'm very happy with the results. Thank you for all your hard work & easy to understand videos 👍
I just upgraded to this TV from my 1080p Samsung I had since 2008. based on your review. I was not blown away by the picture like I was when I first upgraded to a HD Tv. I mainly watch HD & 4K content using my Apple TV 4K. Why do some movies look great while other not so much on AU8000. I can get a consistent picture that I like like on my old TV. Thinking of returning it and I’ve only had the AU8000 for a day.
@@TechSteve I did more research. My old Samsung 1080p TV was a top of the line TV that was well lit, vibrant colors with very clear picture. It was the edge lighting in the AU8000 that wasn’t mind blowing for me. I researched more Samsung TV’s and decided to get the Samsung 65 inch Q80A TV because of the full array dimming back lighting. The TV looks great connected to my Apple TV 4K. Very happy with the picture. I don’t think you reviewed this TV yet but I’ll be checking for your review if you do one. Thanks again for all the great reviews!
I had to convince the wife though. She wanted a cheap TV until she saw the picture on that cheap TV lol. I wanted a top of the line TV so we compromised and met in the middle.
Man Steve, YOU ARE GREAT! Very thorough. I really like your comparisons very much I believe the 65 inch au8000 will work for my parents after looking at this video, thanks!
This TV is being delivered and set up for us. To find this TH-cam video on the exact TV we are getting is great 👍. Thank you very much. You already helping before we get our tv.
I have been searching for a living room 85 or more in budget TV. Thanks for the videos, think I make my mind with this TV in 85 in. Thanks for the effort and info in your chanel!!!!
I really loved the way you explain the terms in mini boxes with text as you speak. A lot of quality on your videos Bro, very good job. Waiting for the comparisson between this TV and the TU8000
Amazing work, I love your way to do things, you got my subscription right away. Wish you the best and hope to see more reviews from you. Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸
Thanks for the upload. My wife just purchased one and I wanted to see a review. You blew my mind with the keyboard and mouse. Now I'm kinda envious LOL...
My Led tv has a small bleed in the left side corner. It is not noticable while playing content. But slightly appearing in darker scenes which is subject to gray uniformity. Should I worry about this? Please help
Thanks Steven, really appreciate your feedback. Have subscribed and turned on notifications. I'm looking to change my TV by this year end, or early next year. What do you think about the Huawei TV (model: Vision S), as it's (one of) the most competitively priced TVs in on my country - SEAsia.
This thing is complicated...got this for my daughter, should be just up her alley....all sorts of things to do on it. I have an extra keyboard so I need a mouse now so she can use it like you did... thanks for the review!
8:48 I wish I could spend double, but I already am :( Here in Bangladesh TVs get taxed heavily so I am basically paying nearly $800 for this TV itself. Great video nonetheless, thank you for the info!
Meant to post ages ago, the Australian versions of the AU8000 have kept Ambient Mode. Why Samsung decide to remove some things for certain markets is crazy. It's a great TV nonetheless.
Tech Steve. Can you please check the on going issue with Samsung MU series "INSUFFICIENT STORAGE" OR "NOT ENOUGH STORAGE". A lot of people having this problem.
Thank you for this video. Could you do one on just the remote and all the things you do with it. I can't even figure out how to turn the volume up with it. Please help.
Steve, thanks for a great video. One thing I wonder, I got one of these from Best Buy, and to my ear, the speakers sound ... thin, with lots of treble but no midrange or bass. Is this normal, or does my "Certified open box' unit have a speaker issue?
I'm looking for helpful reviews to help me with the new set-up of this TV for my very elderly neighbour. He has a streaming box affiliated with his home country of Poland, which is plugged into HDMI1. It works properly...but he has trouble activating it...and I am just looking for a simple way to program it into "push this one button" approach on the remote. He cannot be taught to navigate to HDMI1 on-screen, that's beyond him His older Samsung TV facilitated this, pressing "Smarthub" always somehow defaulted to using the streaming box as the input. The new one unfortunately does not. In any case...your review, both this one and the original, was very informative. You do good work!
Thank you for this amazing review!! I have been searching for which tv to purchase all week and I think I will buy this one. Thanks again man. Wait, can I connect my bluetooth speakers to this tv?
Is this a va panel and I ordered the new vizio mq6m 43 inch 2023 you think thats a better choice cause its a qled compared to this one thst is not or should I cancel my order and get this
My little review: Brightness could be higher. Maxed out it's still a little on the dim side. Speakers are pretty bad. They are are quite tinny. Very little bass. Also, if you want to use the low latency "gaming mode" for the picture settings, it also locks the audio into gaming mode as well. So with gaming mode enabled (which you will definitely want for games or using a mouse), you can't adjust the audio at all. Good news is you can raise the TV up a little by adjusting the legs, to fit a sound bar underneath. You'll probably want one, or headphones, if audio is important to you. There is no support for 1440p. You're stuck between 1080p and 4k. Those 2 resolutions work fine, but in between is a mess. If you're using an Xbox Series S (maxes at 1440p), avoid this TV, unless you're ok being stuck in 1080p. Same goes for a PC. If your PC can handle 4k, then no problem. But if not, you're down to 1080p. The remote is subpar. I mean I guess it's alright if you're really minimalistic, but using it and navigating menus is not very good. Clunky. Those are the negatives. On the positive side, the image quality is quite good. The TV is super thin. I mean it, it's really damn thin. Would look great mounted on a wall. Bezels are really thin as well. The price is decent. It's my first Samsung TV, I thought I would be blown away given their reputation for screens, but I'm really not. It's good enough, but nothing special. Feels like cost cutting at every corner.
Currently looking for a new tv, I play a lot of nba, madden and call of duty on ps5 as well as watching nba and netflix Is this a good choice? Currently got a Sony Bravia from like 6 years ago
hey Steve, thank you so much for this presentation. Can I ask you for a favor? Can you measure the height of the tv stand? I mean the distance from the bottom to the tv's frame. Like 10cm or something. Would apreciate it. Regards.

You have to upgrade all of your sources and use apps for TV. They are made to perform but old tech doesn’t look good on newer TVs
Probably because you're not watching 4k content.....
@@TechSteve I did more research. My old Samsung 1080p TV was a top of the line TV that was well lit, vibrant colors with very clear picture.

I'd probably get a smaller version of this for the bedroom; seems like a good enough set to watch Netflix and stuff when relaxing.

Dont like the design or the feet. I will stick with my 2021 TU7000. Great review though Steve.
Samsung really jacked up the price for the 2021 model $549.99 Jan 2022, I thought prices are supposed to drop, especially on a low end model.
It’s a semi conductor shortage, it’s all over the web
My little review:
Brightness could be higher. Maxed out it's still a little on the dim side.
Speakers are pretty bad. They are are quite tinny. Very little bass. Also, if you want to use the low latency "gaming mode" for the picture settings, it also locks the audio into gaming mode as well. So with gaming mode enabled (which you will definitely want for games or using a mouse), you can't adjust the audio at all. Good news is you can raise the TV up a little by adjusting the legs, to fit a sound bar underneath. You'll probably want one, or headphones, if audio is important to you.
There is no support for 1440p. You're stuck between 1080p and 4k. Those 2 resolutions work fine, but in between is a mess. If you're using an Xbox Series S (maxes at 1440p), avoid this TV, unless you're ok being stuck in 1080p. Same goes for a PC. If your PC can handle 4k, then no problem. But if not, you're down to 1080p.
The remote is subpar. I mean I guess it's alright if you're really minimalistic, but using it and navigating menus is not very good. Clunky.
Those are the negatives.
On the positive side, the image quality is quite good. The TV is super thin. I mean it, it's really damn thin. Would look great mounted on a wall. Bezels are really thin as well. The price is decent.
It's my first Samsung TV, I thought I would be blown away given their reputation for screens, but I'm really not. It's good enough, but nothing special. Feels like cost cutting at every corner.
How's the overall brightness?

Have you tried downscaling the ps5 to 1080p to get 120hz then let the tv upscale the picture to near 4k does this work on this tv ?
My only concern is DSE and black levels for gaming. The black obviously ain't gonna be OLED black but the VA panel should be way better than IPS.
