Originally I purchased a 55” Sony x800g tv and it came with crappy android tv. It was 3 weeks in and started not connecting to the internet or the apps so I returned it and got this 65” Samsung RU8000. The Samsung actually has a better picture, the remote controls all my devices and the smart features are simple to operate but I still prefer the Apple TV system. The picture quality is amazing once you set it to movie mode, color to 25, sharpness to 15, and gamma to 2.2 and it will give you beautiful color. Sound...well I have a Vizio 5.1 soundbar so I’m good there and again the tv remotes also operates my soundbar. This is the first tv I had that has a truly universal remote and I love it. No issues yet but I hope it last at least 5 years since it was $882 when I got it.

Two months with this Samsung 8 Series 4K UHD TV and the love affair continues. The clarity of the picture and the ease of operation makes this 65 inch set a visual stunner! The remote control is small and easy to operate. Why go to a movie theater when you have your own video and film palace in the comfort of your own home! This smart TV has numerous Apps and of note is the ambient mode that turns it into a work-of art, displaying personal photos or stored graphic designs. The Television works with the Smart Things App and Family Hub but it does need improved updates.

not only is the quality of this television top notch but it actual exceeds expectations. The remote is of a modern minimalistic style yet very intuitive to use. Television set up was facilitated by the mobile phone app. Picture and sound are of impressive quality. We originally budgeted for a sound bar but now find we have no need for one with the quality of speakers this television has. The ease of use with all of our favorite streaming apps makes finding something to watch a pleasure. Can not recommend this television highly enough especially at this price point. One last note for gamers is the refresh rate is amazing.

I went from a 55inch 1080p standard HD Vizio to a 55inch TCL 6series 4K UHD, HDR, Dolby Vision, TV and I thought that was it can’t get any better than this for under $1000, then I wanted a 65 inch tv with a budget of $1500, I decided on the Samsung and couldn’t believe the difference in picture quality over the TCL, the smart features of the tv made navigating my audio receiver much easier, it automatically reads hdmi inputs and allows you to control input devices with the remote. I can can go on and on about how great this tv is but I’ll just sum it up, BUY IT!

This TV is great. I know people have a lot of strong feelings about modern TVs (i.e. good for gaming vs movie watching) but we were working from a 2015 Panasonic that was minimally smart and mostly dumb. This TV connects quickly to apps and I was able to download a lot of apps that weren't already loaded. We have Directv and were able to download the app to add it to the list of apps to choose from. Although we still use the Directv remote for ease, the TV remote could be used with Directv as well. The picture quality is great but our TV is near a window so have had to play around with the brightness depending on the time of day. We were between this series of TVs or the letter series Samsungs that were more pricey - I don't regret our choice.
