    Great picture—color, sharpness, contrast all very good. Very user friendly and easy to operate ( for an old guy like me!)

    I really wanted to like this tv is thin and light but has very limited features for optimal adjustments, Also the interface looks great but it froze from minute one and even though I did a reset it did it again. I’m hoping this was a definitive model because Samsung it’s all I own and never let me down. Still a great budget 4k tv.

    Great TV, bought it during black Friday to replace my 10 year old Sony TV. Picture quality is good, the only thing is the volume is too low.

    it's just... okay

    So I wanna start this off by saying this is not my first 4k tv. But I have paid much less for TV's that have all of the features this TV has and while being a solid tv I can't help but think the price is not justified. The screen is beautiful and delivered a good picture. The smart tv features are responsive enough to where you don't mind using it. Unlike most smart tvs being incredibly slow. The speakers on this thing are absolutely horrible, there's just no way to ignore how bad they are. I think this is a very solid tv if you find it on sale. The screen does not get as bright as I'd like. The contrast is absolutely horrible. It's pretty solid with latency for gaming and haven't noticed much on that end. But if I where shopping for a tv again I would look towards Hisense for TV's in this size. My previous tv, a 2019 Hisense 42 inch delivered almost the exact same experience as this TV all be it ten inches smaller for almost 300$ less. I got the Hisense TV on sale for 180$ and honestly was expecting this Samsung to blow it out of the water given the price and was pretty disappointed. All in all I'd say wait for a price drop or go with a different brand. It's just okay , and if I'm spending 400$+ on something it better be better than just "okay". Still enjoying it , but pick up a speaker bar if you're deadset on this model.

    Picture is fantastic! Programming or remote sux…you have to scroll thru heaven, hell, and all creation to get to the channel you want. So with ANY cable provider it’s a pain, even if you’ve listed favorites. Spectrum let’s you program one start channel, AT&T goes back to last channel viewed once its turned off! So no jump to it’s a scroll thru…if a GAGILLION channels

      Hi Bass!

      Thank you for choosing the 2021 AU8000 Crystal UHD TV and for sharing your thoughts regarding the remote. Please know that many of the buttons on your remote have multiple functions. For example, the Volume button is moved UP/DOWN to adjust volume, and to MUTE the sound, you need to PRESS it in. If that same button is pressed for > than 1 second, the Accessibility Shortcuts appears. Pressing the RETURN button (looks like a curved, backwards facing arrow) returns you to the previous menu, pressing it while watching a program will take you back to the previous channel.

      Please know, you can download the AU8000 TV's User Manual, e-Manual, and Quick Setup Guide on Samsung's website by clicking "Support" > "Manuals & Software" > "TVs & Home Theater" > "TVs". From there, you can select the AU8000 TV under "Crystal UHD TVs” > “A Model Lineup" and download the guides you would like. The e-Manual is also embedded into the TV itself under Settings > Support > Open e-Manual.

      Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at
