Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi Jgbrooklyn,

Thank you for your feedback on the Samsung U8000F TV. If the picture appears unclear, dull, or lacks definition, there are several settings you can adjust to improve clarity and overall image quality. Go to: Settings > All Settings > Picture > Expert Settings, and review these key settings:

Picture Clarity Settings: While originally intended for motion handling, these can also impact overall clarity
• Off: Disables motion enhancements
• Auto: Automatically adjusts based on content
• Custom: Lets you fine-tune:
o Judder Reduction – Helps smooth out uneven motion
o LED Clear Motion – Boosts sharpness in fast-moving content
o Noise Reduction – Reduces distortion and enhances detail in lower-resolution sources

Core Picture Settings
• Brightness – Controls overall screen brightness
• Contrast – Enhances the difference between bright and dark areas
• Sharpness – Adjusts edge definition; closer to 20 increases detail
• Color – Enhances depth and intensity of colors

And don’t forget to check for the latest firmware, which may improve performance: Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now.

We also recommend running a Sound Test to check for audio issues: Home > left directional key > Settings > Support > Device Care > Self Diagnosis > Sound Test

Hi Tolerant,

We’re sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing with your Samsung U8000F TV. In many cases, flickering, signal loss, or no picture from an HDMI source can be caused by the connected device or the HDMI cable being used. Please try the following steps:

1. Check the external device: Ensure the connected device (e.g., gaming console, Blu-ray player, streaming box) is running the latest firmware. If available, try connecting a different external device to see if the issue persists.
2. Check the HDMI cable: Make sure you're using a High Speed Certified HDMI Cable, ideally one rated for 4K or higher, depending on your content.

If the problem continues after checking these, please contact Samsung Support so we can help diagnose and resolve the issue. You can reach us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM – 12AM EST, 7 days a week. LiveChat is also available on our website under the ‘Support’ section.

Hi DorisR,

Thanks for your feedback on the sound quality of your Samsung U8000F TV. To start, please make sure your TV is running the latest firmware: Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now

If you're still not satisfied with the audio, try these adjustments:
• Sound Mode or Expert Settings to adjust bass, treble, and balance
• Auto Volume: Helps keep volume consistent across inputs and channels: Settings > Sound > Expert Settings > Auto Volume

For fuller, more immersive sound, consider a Samsung S- or Q-Series Soundbar with Q-Symphony, which works in sync with your TV speakers.
