Q: What is the difference between the 7 & 8 series Samsung 55” 4K units, and are both available at Best Buy. Thanks, Blacky

A: Hi there! The TU7000 introduces our Crystal Display which gives you crystal-clear colors that are fine-tuned to deliver a naturally crisp and vivid picture, and our Crystal UHD Processor, which brings stunning clarity to everything you already watch and powerfully upscales 4K to ensure that you always get life-like 4K resolution no matter the source. When stepping up to the TU8000, you will have all the benefits of Crystal UHD, and will also gain Ambient Mode and built-in Voice Assistants (Amazon Alexa, Bixby, Google Assistant) with a Voice button on your OneRemote. The TU8000 also offers one Composive (AV) input, and an additional HDMI and USB port. ^Gina

Q: How many HDMI ports does this tv have?

A: This TV has 3 HDMI ports.

Q: Will TV connect to Bluetooth headphones for private listening (ex. skull-candy headphones)

A: Yes ,this unit can connect to Bluetooth headphones for private listening.

Q: What about backlight? I have searched the internet and can't find any info about it, not even on Samsung's website. Their website only gives some of the specs. Is it direct light or edge lit?

A: The TU8000 is Direct-lit, meaning the lights are on the edges and behind the screen for more light uniformity than Edge-lit. ^Gina

Q: This TV will be viewed from a large room. How is the TV for some angle viewing? I bought a 40" Vizio for a spare bedroom. Awesome straight on however on an angle the color and vibrancy drops way off. Not sure how this TV will be.

A: Hi DannyO! The viewing angles will be limited on the TU8000; however, starting with the Q60T you will gain features such as Dual LED Technology with 100% Color Volume, which will give you better contrast and off-angle viewing. Check out the Q60T here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-55-class-q60t-series-4k-uhd-tv-smart-led-with-hdr/6401755.p?skuId=6401755 ^Gina

Q: can you buy a pedestal stand for this?

A: Hey theo . The 55TU8000 does come with feet that are 40.6" wide . Most universal pedestal stands do utilize the wall mounting holes on the back of the television. ^Jason
