BEST TV EVER!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Samsung 8 Series, 55". It's Amazingly come a long way in a short time. See my photos- The most clear picture, equipped with every TV App needed, Netflix, Apple, 'Altice' is regular cable box, Amazon Prime, Sports, News, Hulu, you name it, it's available. Photos show Menu options, size/width, so thin, lightweight, and the simple Remote, I bought two that hang above Fireplace. I'd have gone bigger, except my TV room off kitchen is small. Other in M. Bedroom over fireplace with extender bracket. Highly recommend Geek Squad to install/deliver, whether on a stand or bracket. So efficient, ease of both delivery, setup & haul away. Their knowledge to set up all from WiFi, no longer needed Apple Box, Netflix, Samsung TV. I got a team, their names are Rickson Francis & Marlon. I'm going to request them for anything going forward. Their dedicated to their work, answered all questions, do a follow up, refuse tip, took away all needed & moved older one's, clean up beautifully. I've had Samsung for 25+ years, and amazed how thin, light, and their like a computer, DVD, extra & all channels, and all free. You Tube, Amazon Prime video. I find new things every day. Best Buy has best prices. If you have room to go bigger, than Go for it ~ Good Luck!

A Decent Upgrade From a Samsung non-Smart TV.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased a Samsung 55" 8 Series for my church. Because of circumstances beyond our control, the TV has received little usage, but, here are some observations gleaned from the little time I've spent with it. The TV arrived fairly well boxed up. The shipping box wasn't overly heavy, just a bit bulky for a single person to work with. The TV slid out of the box without too much effort. This unit is mounted on a third party stand, so, the included feet were not needed. Now, this TV replaced a Samsung UN39FH5000FXZA. Interestingly enough, the hardware used to mount the old TV to the stand was not, directly, compatible with the new TV. The bolts were too short when used in conjunction with the required spacers. I had to cut the spacers slightly in order for the provided bolts to secure the TV to the mount. With that out of the way, it was time to program the TV. The TV guides you through the setup process. While largely uneventful, I did run into a problem where the TV would not connect to my WIFI router. I had to abort the setup process and start from the beginning. On the second pass, the TV was able to connect to either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency. I opted to use 2.4GHz as I reserve 5GHz strictly for computer equipment. In addition to the initial setup, the TV's OS was updated. That process took a while to complete due to the lack of high speed Internet service available to the church building. Upon completion, I popped a DVD into the attached Samsung player. The results looked quite good. A bonus is that the included remote will control both the TV and player. I will say that the main menu looks much different than the one presented by the old TV. I took me a while to get comfortable with the new layout. I'll have to guide others through the menu once we are able to return to the building. All in all, based on the minimal amount of time that I have been able to use this TV, I will say that it is a decent device. The fact that it was on sale when I purchased it makes it even nicer, and, a good upgrade from the old Samsung TV.

Excellent TV for so many reasons to list here!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent TV for price. Set up is a snap, the tutorial takes you through it. The sound quality is good for the price range. Sound is very loud and clear.. Becomes a bit distorted for action movies, but that's what sound bars are for. I don't watch 4K movies and only have 100mbs internet speed, however the picture is impressive. Fine tuning the grey scale, green to red, ratio is very easy. Set up is a snap. Plug in your BLU Ray player oer ROKU and the TV recognizes them and labels them for you per HDMI port. Feet simply twist and click and don't wable. If you do need customer support for any reason, just call and they are there to help. 4.5 stars

Awesome 4K Gaming
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I caught this television on sale last Monday and purchased it and was delivered Thursday, i got it mainly for my gaming setup to play my PS5 on and the television makes the game graphics look super crisp and clean and detailed. I have a sound bar and subwoofer to go with the television and the PS5 3D audio headset sounds even more amazing when listening to the games while you play. If your not looking to spend a lot of money for a gaming 4K HDR flat television I recommend this one, you get everything compared to the higher priced flat screen 4K HDR television without breaking your wallet.

Great TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice TV. Easy to install Apps that are not pre-loaded such as Spotify and HBO Max. Excellent picture and sound. I know this is not one of the more expensive 3D TV's but the picture does look 3D. The sound seems to have some sort of equalizer so that the commercials don't put you deaf when your program is at a good volume. The closed captions are easy to read and you can position them where you want on the screen. The Best Buy Representative said some repairs can be done remotely. I am very happy with the TV.

The TU7000 introduces our Crystal Display which gives you crystal-clear colors that are fine-tuned to deliver a naturally crisp and vivid picture, and our Crystal UHD Processor, which brings stunning clarity to everything you already watch and powerfully upscales 4K to ensure that you always get life-like 4K resolution no matter the source. When stepping up to the TU8000, you will have all the benefits of Crystal UHD, and will also gain Ambient Mode and built-in Voice Assistants (Amazon Alexa, Bixby, Google Assistant) with a Voice button on your OneRemote. The TU8000 also offers one Composive (AV) input, and an additional HDMI and USB port. ^Gina

Q: QuestionWhat about backlight? I have searched the internet and can't find any info about it, not even on Samsung's website. Their website only gives some of the specs. Is it direct light or edge lit?
Asked by truckdewdlarry.

Q: QuestionThis TV will be viewed from a large room. How is the TV for some angle viewing? I bought a 40" Vizio for a spare bedroom. Awesome straight on however on an angle the color and vibrancy drops way off. Not sure how this TV will be.
Asked by DannyO.
- A:Answer Hi DannyO! The viewing angles will be limited on the TU8000; however, starting with the Q60T you will gain features such as Dual LED Technology with 100% Color Volume, which will give you better contrast and off-angle viewing. Check out the Q60T here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-55-class-q60t-series-4k-uhd-tv-smart-led-with-hdr/6401755.p?skuId=6401755 ^Gina
