The Samsung UA 8000 TV is a fantastic buy for anyone looking to upgrade to a true 4K experience. It has only a few minor issues that cost it 1 star. For starters, the picture is outstanding. Image smoothing is stellar and the picture is bright, crisp, and clear. Watching films like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings is a whole new experience, even when you're just upscaling from blu ray. This extends across streaming apps as well, with almot all of them working fantastic and smooth. Sound is not so stellar. If you have a surround sound system, sound bar, or external speakers, this won't be an issue. If you're going to go with internal sound, it's a bit tinny and hollow. I'd recommend investing in external speakers. The suite of included apps are outstanding and I have yet to require an app that I couldn't find for downloading. All the expected ones are available including HBO, Disney+, Hulu, Showtime, Starz, Pluto, Tubi, Sling, Fubo, and many others. In fact, when I purchased this it came with a 30 day trial of Fubo, which is worth it if you're thinking of cutting the cord. The one exception is the Sling App, which for some reason is pixellated and buffers constantly. I am fortunate that I have a streaming stick that i can use for Sling (I feel that Sling is the best value for streaming live TV), so this wasn't a major issue for me, but it would have been nice to be able to not need the streaming stick. Hopefully a future upgrade to the Sling App on Samsung TV will fix this issue. It's worth noting that the TV comes with Samsung's own FREE Live TV streaming app, which is similar to Pluto and includes local news stations. A very cool and useful addition. The TV also does everything and then some. If you have a Samsung smartphone it really takes it to the next level by syncing with your phone to be part of your Smart Things, adding an entire EXTRA level of functionality. The menus took a bit of getting used to; some functions are a bit buried, but once I got the hang of it I could adjust almost anything I needed. When I got the digital antenna plugged in and scanned for OTA channels (always recommended in case your internet goes out) I landed nearly 60 channels, which were integrated into the Samsung TV live guide. Yet another nice feature. A few other technical issues I have are, again, minor: it could use one more HDMI input (it has only three) and it could use an RCA input (it has none). Again, though, Minor issues given that you can get splitters and adapters. Finally, I don't seem to be able to add external memory. I plugged in an external hard drive which the TV recognizes but only seems to want to use as a media server: there is no way I can find to move streaming apps to the HDD or to format it for app storage, and I can easily see the 3 or 4 GB of internal space the device has running out if you use a lot of different streaming services. Another argument, I guess, for a streaming stick or box. In the end, I would recommend this TV to anyone looking to upgrade, especially with prices being down. The few issues I have are very minor in the long run, especially if you just have external speakers and a streaming stick.
