Great picture and is very easy to set up it took less than 10 minutes once we had it out of the box. Samsung TV provides great channel choices. Needed an additional tv for our den the 43-inch screen was the perfect size.

This tv has been a great fit for our needs. We specifically wanted a smart tv as we are in the process of cutting the cord with our cable provider. We found Samsung accommodated the apps we wanted where LG did not. The optics on this tv are gorgeous and sound is acceptable, although we may add a sound bar later.
This was our first smart tv so we had a bit of a learning curve, but we figured it out. If you need assistance figuring out a function, I recommend You Tube over the very limited Samsung manual. The remote is a little odd, so expect to help visitors figure it out.

Online purchasing was easily accomplished, pick up was efficient and it works just like a smart TV. Color, picture quality and ease of use are all very good. Have been using Samsung for this size TV for over 10 years.

I bought this TV to use in the office as a monitor for my security cameras. It will occasionally be used for streaming services and possibly live broadcasts, all with exceptional clarity. This is the 3rd television that I have in my house, all of which are Samsung which should tell you I have 100% confidence in Samsung products. Many people like to brag about their Apple product which they paid sometimes twice as much as I paid for a comparable Samsung and the funny part is when they tell me about all of their new Apple features and then I point out that Samsung has had it on the market for a couple years. It seems like Apple is always playing catch-up to Samsung. Just my opinion but isn't that what these reviews are all about?… My opinion.

Very pleased with the tv. Love the picture quality. Contrast & brightness is good for a smaller room or apartment. Easy to set-up and interface is uncomplicated. Cannot comment on sound, being connected to soundbar.

Great Value. Expect to need a sound bar if you're watching the TV beyond 10' - 12', as the built-in speakers are only sufficient when the volume is cranked up. This becomes problematic with the rise and fall of audio levels throughout TV programs and movies, so you really have to "manage" the sound using the remote. The TV relies extensively on Apps. I understand this is the direction things are headed, but it's taken some getting used to, that you essentially need an app for everything (including an app for different "channels"). Other than sound and apps, the picture's great. I bought this after having great luck with another Samsung TV, and I hope to experience the same longevity as the other TV.

I purchased this Samsung TV to replace the VIZIO I had just bought last year. It had a major hardware issues that I didn't feel was worth taking in for repairs. After a lot of research and reading of reviews I had initially decided on a Samsung 7 series, but then saw the 8000 series at the store. I knew 43 inches was as large as I could go for the small bedroom I have and it fits perfectly on the makeshift stand I have which I can always replace at a later time.
The picture is vivid with bright vibrant colors. It was very easy to set up and even when it briefly froze during the set up I was able to turn it back on and it picked up where I left off (not possible with the VIZIO). This TV did everything I wanted the other to do and then some. I admit the remote was a little disappointing but is something I can get used to.
The only thing that I would say is a 'flaw' is something that was mentioned in another review. Upon setting up my TV I found that there was a red backwards capital 'D' in the upper left corner. This doesn't bother me at all because it is so small and only noticeable if you actually look for it.
I like that it has Bluetooth for headphones and an on screen guide for channel selection. It works great with an OTA antenna as well as 'mirroring' from my tablet (also a samsung) and using it for a huge computer monitor. I really don't have any complaints about the TV, it is a 1,000 times better than the one I had previously. I've been very happy with my Samsung tablets in the past so getting a Samsung TV was definitely the right decision. Would definitely recommend.

Brand response from Samsung

Hi JKFry,
Thank you for choosing the Samsung 43” AU8000 and sharing your experience. Please check that you have removed the protective film covering the TV screen. It is possible that the red 'D' image you are reporting is imprinted on the protective film.
Please be aware that not all TVs come with a protective film. If there is a protective film on your screen, it will be indicated with a blue tab in the upper left corner. The tab will have an illustration showing how to remove the protective film. If you do not have a blue tab in the upper left corner, then that means there is no protective film on the screen, so please do not try to peel off anything. You will damage what is actually the screen.
If you tried removing the film and only removed the blue tab, then please affix a piece of adhesive tape to where the blue tab was and try removing the film again.
If you have checked that there is no protective film and are still seeing the triangle on the screen, please contact Samsung Customer Support so we can further assist you. 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for TVs), available 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.
For additional support resources, visit us on the Samsung website and click on the ‘Support’ link in the upper right corner of the homepage for: 1) Contact Us: For additional Chat & Text options, choose ‘TVs & Home Theater’ and select your model & topic. 2) Manuals & Software 3) Warranty Info 4) Register a Product: For access to easy warranty support, convenient opt-in to special promos and offers, faster troubleshooting and service, and quick notification of system updates.

Originally bought the 8000 series. Sound quality on that was awful. Would definitely need a soundbar, but thats extra money you dont need to spend if you bought the 7 series. Went back to exchange the 8000 series for the 7 and so happy i did. The remote on the 8000 series felt more like a downgrade. It felt cheap to use even with a voice control feature. Go with the 7 series if you want better sound quality, great picture and a remote that is more premium feeling.

I’ve been looking for a new TV for several months, just couldn’t make my mind up and get my wife to agree. I went into BestBuy while my wife was at the craft store. Looked at several and left. While we ate lunch I talked my wife into letting me buy it and went back. It has the best color and sharpness of any TV we’ve had. It was easy to set up and works great with my Samsung Sound Bar and Blu-ray player. The remote took about an hour to get used to and is quite small. My only complaint is that it tends to be a little dark with some scenes. Buy it you won’t regret it.
