Excellent picture quality, colors are very vivid. One of reasons tend to lean toward Samsung. Sound quality also excellent. Set up completed in just a few minutes, connecting to internet a breeze. Continues to operate without any issues today. Excellent value for that reason.

Setup: everything is easily laid out and simple to plug in. The only thing that you need help is of course lifting this monster.
Visual: if you are watching normal tv, the quality is poor. Now, put in a HD movie and on Netflix and you will be amazed of how clear the picture is. Fine detail of pixels and shades can be fine very well. Color is perfect out of the box, along with brightness. There are many other options to choose for your display enjoyment.
Sound: the sound is good, and loud. I have use it for a month, and end up hooking the sound to my receiver. I needed more in depth quality, such as sound travel and bass availabilty/clarity.
The Stand: the way the stand is designed, kind of use up your entertainment space but, I understand why, the sturdiness of the tv on my table felt perfect.

We had a 50” and were a bit worried if 75” might be too big, as I normally sit about eight feet from the set. Not a problem at all. Picture for my tastes was a bit dark, but the Settings let me change to what I prefer. Movies, football...great viewing. You will definitely need another person to help unbox and either install stand and lift/place, or to wall mount. It is not so much the weight, it is a big awkward size for one person. I would liked if there were more USB ports and an Analog Audio Out port. With just the digital optical port, it was more cumbersome to use two wireless headphones that only worked with the older audio ports. However, the solution was simple. Highly recommended.

I got the 75" and love it. I live in an apartment, so I was kind of unsure if the 75" would be too big. And when the TV first arrived, it was definitely huge! But now that I'm used to it, I'm so glad I splurged for the larger size. This isn't a QLED TV, but it's 4K and 120 hz, so I believe I got a great TV without having to spend several thousand dollars. The only hang up I had initially was trying to set up the TV (which is a pretty automatic process these days). No matter what I did, I couldn't get off the home screen. So I called Samsung, and apparently the remote is supposed to pair with the TV automatically right out of the box, so it's not something you'd even notice...unless, like me, your remote wasn't interfacing at all with the TV. So they walked me through the quick process of pairing the remote with the TV, and it was smooth sailing from there. Connecting the TV to the internet and wirelessly streaming also was a breeze. I've had prior Samsung Smart TVs from years past, and those were always harder to connect (and there were always problems). This is super seamless. I'm very pleased.

We purchased the Samsung NU8000 series after a lot of research and price comparisons. We have had it several weeks and have enjoyed the TV so far. It was easy to setup and the picture is very good. We have 3 large windows that are not covered and the picture does not washout with the bright sunlight. The sound has been good, no need for a sound bar, which I have on our other Samsung. The colors are very vibrant and the pictures with scenery are very pretty. With the short period we have had this TV we are very pleased with it and would recommend it, especially if you have large windows and lots of light.

My wife suggested that we needed to replace our old 55" Sony Bravia TV with a newer, larger one (not that there was anything wrong with the old one; it still performed great).
This model, the 75" NU8000 by Samsung, is certainly BIG! It fits on our BDI stand, which was created for larger TVs anyway. This model has a central stand rather than supports on the ends of the screen; the support is well made and looks classier than the end supports, but it is a little wobbly sometimes. We haven't had any issues, fortunately, with the TV bouncing around, but we live in Florida without much chance of an earthquake anytime soon.
The TV was delivered by Geek Squad to our living room, though I'd opted to set it up myself and save the expense. The Geek Squad guy recommended how to open the box properly (thanks!) and we (my wife and I) managed to get it all put together properly (though, in retrospect, maybe I should have opted for the set up by the Geek Squad, because the old Sony was a bear to get down).
The Samsung is well made, much thinner than my old Sony Bravia. Setup was initially without much trouble, though I soon realized that the Comcast cable box I had wasn't equipped for 4k signals, so when I got the correct one I had to go through the setup process again (I did have some issues with trying to get the Samsung to recognize the Comcast box--and the Comcast remote wouldn't work initially, so I had to call Comcast to get them to get it to work).
The screen quality is excellent. I'm not enough of an expert to nitpick about the difference between this model's screen and the more expensive QLEDs or Samsung's upper level models, but we've had no complaints about the quality of this TV at all. We do have shows we watch on lower-definition channels from time to time and the difference is remarkable. I have a JBL soundbar installed, though the short time I used the internal speakers didn't bother me at all.
I hooked up a Samsung 4k HDTV DVD player to the TV. The DVD played connected flawlessly and works very well with everything I've run through it. I am also running an old XBox 360 through the Samsung, and it also runs without a hitch. Various streaming apps, like Netflix, have worked fine as well.
The price I got for the NU8000 was excellent because of the holiday season, saving me about $300.00 over the current price. I would highly recommend the Samsung to anyone looking for a big screen TV with lots of capabilities.

TV was easy to set up out of the box. Universal remote is a little difficult to set up and not very intuitive. Picture is great and sound quality is pretty good with the 5.1 Samsung sound bar that I added. If hanging on the wall, make sure you have a few extra friends available.

Although not the top of the line in the Samsung LED TV's, this 75" NU8000 Series is, in my opinion, the most bang for the buck. With a beautiful native 2160p picture, Smart TV apps, and sporting UHD HDR with deep contrasts, this is the perfect TV for those looking to have a very impressive looking TV with a great picture, without having to spend a fortune.

We just upgraded to this TV and wow, what a difference from our older TV. The picture on this this bright and vibrant and the detail is amazing. We had this TV installed in the wall and its slim design is perfect. We've had the TV for a couple of weeks and still haven't gotten used to watching movies on it. Its hard to describe but they have a live kind of image to them- maybe that's the 4k? Its still a great picture. We love it.

This TV replaced a Samsung DLP that was nearly 13 years old. The picture is crisp and clear from many angles. This TV is located in the living room and is the primary family TV. Setup was easy and we were watching TV minutes after it was out of the box. Also like having the smart TV function.

No real complaints here. A huge TV that looks great! I like the simplicity of the stand. I ordered a surround sound system but haven’t hooked it up just yet as I await some additional components. The tv speakers themselves are actually half way decent, which was a total surprise.
A couple knocks — the tv doesn’t have the one connect feature that it’s predecessor did and upon powering up, there’s a menu that stays on the screen until you tap the home button (kind of annoying).
At the end of the day — I would recommend this TV and the price point is very good.

Blown away by the clarity of this TV. Easy to setup. Sleek design, even on the stand. Purchased with the Kardon Harman 3.1.2 soundbar and Halo bias lighting, which completes the actual theater feel to our new home theater.
Samsung is amazing.

Excellent tv, it was difficult at first to justify the cost but once I brought the tv home and hung it, I cannot believe I went so long without a big screen. The tv receives a ton of compliments in regards to picture quality and overall design. If you are going back and forth deciding to go as big as 75”... do it and make it a Samsung.

I wanted to purchase a new tv for the living room and had questions about the difference between the Vizio and Samsung. I had the chance to look at both brands side by side and there was no comparison, the Samsung was on another level. The tv looked incredible on the floor in Best Buy but even better when we brought it home. Every time I turn it on I feel like I bought it yesterday, still stoked. Picture quality is amazing, tv is incredibly easy to use, remote is simplified with only a handful of buttons. Several customizable features to fit your preferences...couldn’t be happier.

Got this as an upgrade to a LED DLP tv. It is a remarkable improvement. The setup was easy. It works well with my Samsung phone. The only reason I dinged it a star is due to having Samsung's Bixby embedded. Please stop forcing us to use subpar voice control. Go with Google or Alexa. Buxby sucks on Samsung's phones as well as this TV.

Rtings had this set as one of the better bargains in the mid price range and I bought the 75” on Black Friday prices. I realized though there are so many intangibles and some inaccuracies in Internet reviews. Another YouTube channel called HDTV describes the Q6FN set which rtings calls marginally better than this set as having its brightness turned up too high. I believe it’s the same with this set, the nu8000. Don’t get me wrong, this set is great in every aspect, but picture quality is just not there. I think with the OLED craze, it feels like everyone bases their whole reviews around blackness levels and that’s it. Well, Black is just ONE color and I don’t think you see black that that much except in menus. This set seems to have decent blacks, not great, and the remote and OS are fantastic. I was loving this set for its price and value WHEN I was setting up. Auto-Detected my PS4 pro and PS3, and though it didn’t detect my cable box, I manually configured and the remote now controls all. I did get free trial month Sling tv but this set had no Sling app. A bit meh on Best Buy part. So, everything was good, until, I turned the set on. And then the brightness problem. Most light portions of the picture turned to globs of light white - no detail. As I said, tv reviewers rate blackness but don’t seem to rate other intangibles so much. Why focus so much on black but not white? The whole set constantly looked like it had a white hazy lit fog in front of it. Well, why not turn the brightness down, you ask? Well, when you do that, it destroys colors and crushes blacks. The youtuber HDTV remarked how Samsung dials up the brightness above what content creators intended so that probably it looks better at the store. Second problem was, the famous Samsung green. The green color on Samsung sets are absolutely atrocious. When you tune the gamma from green to red, then the pic tends to turn way too red before the horrid green becomes acceptable. I’m talking every blond to brown hair/head to dark circles around people’s eyes all having a tinge of green. It’s extremely annoying. Short of it, I was thinking of changing to the competing sets one price level up and one size down, like the LG sk9000 with an IPS panel which has problems with blacks and contrast but probably has better colors and wider viewing angles. Notice how that set is universally derided by reviewers but loved by actual buyers? Intangibles, as I said. A tv isn’t just numbers. Is blooming that bad? I don’t know, but my gut tells me it’s only really relevant in dark menus, and I care about watching shows, not menus. As I titled this, afterall, Black is just ONE color. I don’t know why everyone is so fixated on this. Apple had great success for years with IPS on their phones vs Samsung OLEDs for years. And few people ever complained about the quality of Apple displays. Or the Sony 900F, which is a great set except with a horrible broken Android OS that users report consistently crashes. The TCL 6 series has the panel lottery issue as well as being a off brand. While the Vizio P series had too many reviews saying the set failed and Vizio service issues. In the end, after 2 days of fiddling with every picture setting on this nu8000, my eyes adjusted and the picture improved enough. I still see tinges of green hair and overly red skin tones, but I think every set must have their problems at this price range and even above. I was seriously thinking of exchanging it, but finally got the colors to an acceptable degree and I just didn’t and don’t want the hassle of exchanging for another set which might have its own problems and require exchanging again. In the end, I decided to keep it since the Black Friday and Best Buy price was good. But my warning is, don’t trust the hype about any brand, it’s just compromise on every set. Even the OLEDs have burn in risks. This set has problems with greens and comes from the factory many times brighter than it should be which would be ok except that brightness is linked to its color. I up’ed the backlight all the way, changed the gamma type and turned the brightness all the way down. And fiddled endlessly with the colors just so I didn’t want to puke. Rtings calibrations floating around the Internet were horrible and were only for how they TESTED the unit, not for best pic quality. I wouldn’t follow their advice on calibration. The set is barely acceptable colors now - Nothing great. $1600 for a meh pic. But I guess every TV set still has compromises. I don’t know why they ever got rid of plasmas. Sure it has burn in, but my 8 year old 1080 plasma looks better in many ways than this set. I believe even the q6f if what’s I saw in the store was accurate will have these problems. Go look at the picture carefully at the store on this set. I guarantee 90% of time, you will either see a hazy whiteness with correct skin tones or you will see no haze but green tinge on all skin tones and hair: either or. It was so aggravating to turn the green down to acceptable levels without screwing up the rest of the picture to unacceptable levels. Also, I have a feeling the main chip isn’t too powerful. I see problems in color gradients often, you know, like cubicle pixelation lines going from one shade to another on the sky. Also, motion blur is really meh to me. Infrequently but suddenly, I see frames and image retention until chip inside catches up. Also for PS4 pro users, you’ll have to manually set the video input to yuv420 on the console if you don’t want the set to constantly turn black on you every few minutes. Everything else on the set was great, and as for me, I saw an option to turn off advertisements when setting up too, and haven’t seen any. Another thing Rtings messed up. They reported you couldn’t turn the ads off. On my set, I could. Read and be careful when you first set up the set if you don’t want advertisements. There’s a menu that makes you FEEL like you must accept all above but instead you check only the boxes you want and don’t check the other boxes. This will keep the set from producing advertisements. If you can live with the Samsung green tinge and overly bright picture, this set isn’t horrible. But for me, it’s just acceptable and I felt let down once getting it home and turning it on. It’s just a meh set.

I have both a 60 and 65 inch TV, and I didn’t think 75 would be that big a difference. I was wrong. The TV is more than big enough and the picture is just awesome. Easy set up and quick access to commonly used apps (one click) is real nice. Bear in mind, I’m not picky, but this is awesome.
