Samsung - 65" Class - LED - NU8000 Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR

I was in the middle of my research when my non-smart Sony Wega finally passed. The motherboard started to go so I began to do as much research as possible; so when the lamp finally gave out I was ready. I'd been researching the Samsung, Sony, and LG 65" TVs to determine which one I was going to buy. I visited the local Best Buy 3-4 times to talk to the guys in the TV section; they were VERY Helpful. I went with the Samsung because the color is simply brilliant; and that wasn't even the top or high mid-line model. Side by side with the next model up you could actually see the difference in color and sharpness; but another $5-600 in price (tv, warranty and tax) just didn't make sense since I knew I wouldn't even be able to tell when it was alone in my family room. The only hiccough was the remote went wonky and wouldn't connect so I called Samsung and they are sending a replacement. The quality of the color and the depth of the picture is amazing, you actually feel like you are there. I've read reviews about people having to tweak and adjust colors to get it perfect; but mine looked great right out of the box - but like I said I'm not a videophile. If you are an average Joe looking for good quality and a decent deal this set was a great bargain - it's already marked down about $400-500 from it's original listing of $1700+ and if you watch they'll pair it with a sound bar for an even better deal. I would recommend a sound bar if you don't already have one - these new TVs with the speakers in the back are tough to hear; plus with the sound bar pushing the sound forward, I can be watching an action movie with the sound blowing my hair back and no one upstairs can hear the TV because of speakers are facing away from the door!

Here's the bad news: This Samsung doesn't have the incredible, looking-through-the-glass picture quality of the high-priced and highly rated LG OLED TV. Here's the good news: It doesn't have the price tag of that OLED TV. If you're in the market for a high-quality UHD TV that is more reasonably priced than the top-tier sets, this Samsung is definitely worth considering. The picture is sharp, with rich contrast and deep blacks. I watch a lot of sports, and there's very little motion drag. It's not the picture of an OLED or a QLED, but it's exceptional. The set itself is sleek. It's remarkably thin for a 65-inch set, and the bezels are small. If you're using a stand, it's easy to set up, It juts out from the front of the set a bit, but it's okay for my TV cabinet. As is becoming more common, the remote control is minimalist, with no digits and only a few buttons. It took a couple of minutes to figure out the volume is button is an up/down motion, not a press down. It wasn't intuitive. The setup itself was super easy and took only a few minutes. Samsung has impressively simplified the initial start up. There are higher quality 4K TVs that you can buy. If you don't want to shell out high dollars, this TV is a great value.

I love Samsung products and have bought them in the past. The picture quality of this tv did not disappoint. It is great even in a sunny room and at all angles. That stated right off, I have to say I was surprised at many of the lower standard annoyances we encountered with this tv. Stand that was included, not very sturdy for such a large and expensive tv (65"). One thin center pedestal and a small thin horizontal strip to balance on. Can easily topple if bumped or young kids touch the screen. Had to strap tv to the table for security. The speakers are located in the back of tv, so sound doesn't project out into the room. Cranked it up full blast (99) and still not very loud. Needed to connect a separate sound system. Instructions for set up very lacking. One scant page of vague instruction, no help line, email, website, or tech phone # to contact with questions anywhere. Took 3 hours to figure it out and get it to play in HD image. Really satisfied with this tv now, but you better be tech savvy to set up or enlist help, expect to use a separate sound system, if you plan on hanging it on a wall you'll be all set since it's very thin and light, but if you want it on a tv table, buy a better stand or security straps for safety.

This tv is great for the price. It gives some astounding colors without being saturated. However I thought I saw some motion blur which could've been my internet provider (I stream all my content). For the price I wasn't ok with this being a problem. I ended up taking it back and tried a Sony. Immediately regretted it and packed up my second 65" tv in two weeks. After the Sony though, I realized I wanted the vibrant colors Samsung had to offer. The uhd tv is really good, it's not qled but whatever you're doing the picture will look great. After upgrading my wifi router I haven't had an orobkems with the q6 so it seems my internet could've been the problem when I owned this tv. It has a really easy setup, took about 25minutes from cutting the tape to stashing the box and logging into all my streaming services. Tv comes with a simple but useful remote that makes it easy to use and navigate. I would recommend this tv to anyone that doesn't want to justify the $2500+ for a nice sized qled.

I looked at a number of reviews before I purchased this TV. I was not originally interested in Samsung because of the One Connect box that had to be used. The NU8000 does not have the one connect so I started to consider it. I read multiple reviews and CAE down to the Visio P series, the Sony 850F and this Samsung. After looking and evaluating what I needed the samsung won out due to price and reliability. The picture is outstanding. I don’t care much a bout the sound quality since I use a full surround sound system which connected and works with no issues. I did adjust the color and picture settings to my liking partially based on the RTINGS setting suggestions. I cant stream well in my area due to limited internet so I can’t count on delay lags in that area. Blu-ray looks outstanding with the samsung up scaling. I was frankly surprised at the quality. Sports are excellent with no movement blur and almost a 3D quality to the image.

Went to Best Buy to buy a 60" TV and saw this 65". Price was great, better priced than the 60". Just came in and saved $350 because it was on sale. Worth every penny. Easy set up. Amazing Color, picture is fantastic. Movies are even better than theaters. As I said before worth the money. The remote is smaller and takes getting used to but once you are used to it you will love it. It also is voice activated. Sound is really good but added a sound bar with surround sound and with that the sound makes you feel like you are in a theater. Makes pictures look more realistic. Must have TV.... Would recommend it to anyone.

I am very please with my purchase. The picture quality is great. HD and UHD videos look great. Even though not as much 4K content is available as I'd like the content that is available is awesome. More 4K content will soon be available so I'm not worried about that. I love "smart" functionality of the smart tv. It's very easy to use. The speakers aren't the best sound for a living room but that can be easily fixed with a sound bar. In a bedroom where I have my tv setup the speaks do their job. Its user interface is very smooth and responsive. No lag once so ever. Tv turnes kn and off with in a second of pressing the power button, so no waiting. Overall I love my tv and would recommend buying this same TV as you get great picture quality and dont have to break the bank as you would on a QLED tv

Well first off I've only had this TV a little over 24 hours but those 24 hours have been WOW! I bought the 65 inch model the NU8000, I previously had a 2018 Vizio P series 4k UHD TV with full array back light, and I thought the Vizio looked good boy was I wrong this Samsung blows it out of the water completely, The black levels are unrivaled, the colors, the picture sharpness and clarity, even down to the built in speakers are all in a class of their own! This TV is on part with $2,000 plus models!!! This was the best buy ever!!
