Things aren't made or backed like they used to
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved this Tv.....it died after two years. It wasn't cheap. My mind is blown no warranty after a year. Things just aren't made like they used to be. Definitely won't be getting another Samsung thought they were a quality brand. Super bummed.

If you've switched on your TV and the sound comes through fine, but you're not seeing any picture; there are 3 potential issues.
1) A connection issue; the most common problem. Where there is a bad connection, faulty cables or improper installation.
2) An issue with the device connected to the TV. There may be a video output setting on the device that you must set properly before it will output to the TV.
3) There is something wrong with the TV, which will require a technician to assess the TV and find a solution.
I hope this helps, if you should need further troubleshooting assistance, please contact Samsung Customer Support.

Posted .Sonyforlife,
I am sorry that your TU8000 TV turned off on its own.
Please check some of the TV's energy efficiency functions that may be causing the issue.
First, check if Sleep Timer has been enabled. The Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV off after a specific period of time.
Go to Settings - General - System Manager - Time - Sleep Timer
If the Sleep Timer has not been enabled, see if Auto Power Off or Off Timer has been enabled and disable it
Go to Settings - General - Eco Solution - Auto Power Off
Also go to Settings - General - System Manager - Time - Off Timer
I hope this helps to solve your concerns.

Delivery of item
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not sure who this person was that just delivered my package. Buy the way he did this is not acceptable. It is 7:30 pm on Monday 2 Nov 2020. It is pitch black and no one was at home. The delivery was walked up to the vicinity of the front door sat down upright where just a little wind would knock it over possibly damaging it. The delivery person did not even rind or knock on the door and walked away. This package a big screen TVs is visible from the street and sitting right in front of the house inviting the wrong person to take advantage of this and take it. #1 Why was this delivered so late in the evening? # 2 Why did he not even attempt to let us know the package was delivered? # 3 This is totally unacceptable # 4 This is only inviting theft

Thank you for purchasing the TU8000 TV and for your review. I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with the brightness levels of your picture. You may want to try Dynamic Picture Mode, or manually adjust the Brightness settings to your liking.
Dynamic Picture Mode will make pictures brighter and clearer in bright viewing environments. Go to: Settings > Picture > Picture Mode > Dynamic
Or manually adjust the Brightness settings to your liking. Go to: Settings> Picture> Expert Settings> Brightness
You may also want to disable Power Saving Mode which automatically adjusts the brightness to reduce the TV’s power consumption.
Go to Settings> General> Eco Solution> Power Saving Mode.
Ambient Light Detection will also automatically adjust the brightness level of the TV, according to the ambient light level, to reduce power consumption. If Ambient Light Detection has adjusted the screen brightness to a too bright or dark level, you can select Minimum Brightness to manually adjust the minimum screen brightness.
Go to Settings> General> Eco Solution> Ambient Light Detection
I hope this helps to improve your picture. Should you need further assistance, please contact Samsung Customer Support.

Doesn't Pair Well with Peloton Indoor Bike
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the remote but this TV does not pair well with our Peloton which was one of the main reasons we got it for our workout area.

Thank you for purchasing the Samsung TU8000 TV. I am very sorry that you are experiencing issues turning your TV on. While you are waiting for Samsung Service, you may want to try the following troubleshooting steps:
1) Make sure that the AC power cord is securely plugged in to the TV and the wall outlet.
2) Make sure that the wall outlet is working and the power indicator at the bottom of the TV is lit and glowing a solid red. If it is off, the TV either does not have power, or it is on and the screen is black. If it is blinking, your TV may need service.
3) Try pressing the TV Controller button at the bottom of the TV to make sure that the problem is not with the remote control.
4) If the TV turns on, your issue may be with the remote control
If your issue persists, please contact Samsung Customer Support, and a representative will gladly assist you.
