Samsung - 75" Class - LED - MU8000 Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR

Coming from a 60 inch 2013 sharp aquos with bad upscaling and bandung issues, this TV is elite. It fit into my kia Sedona van with the 3rd seats down and middle seats pushed out towards the doors, in the box. It only requires 1 cord to be run through the wall, and that is the media center cord that comes with the tv. The Recessed power outlet is still needed at tv height as well. All the hdmi ports are at the media center box at the end of the single cord. It (the media box) has 1 optical out for tv audio out, 2 usbs, and 4 hdmis and possibly an ethernet jack. I've been using my 5g wifi at 150+Mbps and haven't even looked for a wired option. The shows and movies load instantly even in 4k uhd. The remote programming is a little wonky with volume controlling my older receiver when using built in apps like 4k Netflix or uhd Amazon prime. It always works after programming it, controlling the volume on my stereo on tv inputs though, like direct tv, xbox, etc. 75 inches does not seem too large, in fact the 80 or even 88 inch still seems tempting. The upscaling of direct tv 1080i and 720p is superb, it takes a bad picture and really improves it. I have no problems using the harmony smart remote with voice control, although some portions are limited. I can turn in the TV, adjust volume, change cable channel, but can't program it to launch apps yet after turning on. So "hey Google, Netflix and chill" is still a work in progress. The tv does have the option to launch the last app or a certain input on startup. I'm not blown away, but I'm impressed with the downright consistency of the picture quality. I've noticed some local dimming issues like white spots on black screens in dark rooms, but only very rarely and exclusively in vivid mode, not particularly noticeable. I'm very glad to have the 8 series incase the 7 was a step down on anything. The outer bezel is quite thin, beautifully thin. The led back lighting behind the tv really improved the look and feel of the tv size, picture, and image quantity. The cpu is fast, very fast. On screen controls are snappy and I haven't seen a loading screen or loading circle since I bought it. UHD from apps is adequate, but never enough. Fandango app is good for uhd purchases. Google movies app on the TV doesn't show 4kuhd unless you buy a chromecast ultra, but you tube app on the TV does 4kuhd. Netflix app does uhd 4k but doesn't have a uhd category, which is annoying to find them. Amazon prime video app does have uhd categories, but limited uhd content. You have to enable hdr+ in tv settings to allow direct tv input to play uhd, otherwise it says your tv doesn't support 4k. The apps are quick and unlike my other tvs, I prefer to use them over my other streaming options, like chromecast, Xbox one s, etc. There is high quality software integration with direct tv, like guide, dvr, etc through the main tv interface, we still use the direct tv remote often though. Very fast power up and on, less than 3 seconds. The audio options are awesome. You can use any Bluetooth speaker, any Bluetooth headset, wifi speaker, and optical audio out. Don't get too excited for the voice feature of the remote, it isn't great. I find Google home paired with harmony smart control to be much better, faster, easier, and consistent for powering on everything, changing channels, volume control, etc. The motion blur is handled well and I enjoy live sports daily. In fact you have to really look closely to notice any motion blur at all. It's there, but honestly it helps me track the tiny golf ball moving 100 miles an hour. There is a game mode to reduce input latency, which is nice for gaming especially fps. The tv shows notifications automatically from my Samsung smart fridge on the screen, like hey the fridge door is still open. The best is the tv mirroring on the fridge, only compatible with Samsung tvs. Also, the sports app notifies me when the backs game is about to start. Overall, a great purchase, great value. If you're on the fence, go for it. It's sexy from end to end! # longestreviewever

I purchased tv in destin FL. Great service from there accociates. Tv in box is very large. Filled the bed of a dodge 1500. Need two people to manipulate this item. I have read the reviews with the qdot .... blah blah.... I would purchase the mount that allows tv to move forward and back from wall. Made it easier to look and see the hooks connect on mount . Connections was very easy. I connected direct tv, surround sound, 4K player, Xbox, and a wii u. Turned tv on and it automatically setup everything. Tell you if parifisls will be voice command. Super easy. Be prepared to type or (voice command) the passwords. Made it super easy. Just select the input box you will feed then press voice button on remote and say your email. Then password. Screen production is great. Played movie in dark and bright room. No bleed over colors was wonderful. Voice command picture zoom, size, settings..... very quick response ..Voice command is superb on this model. Switching between apps and sources is effortless and super fast. Internet is great. Very fast internet response and great options for searching through google or other search engines. You can add a keyboard but voice recognition is awesome. Games play great. Very smooth and no ghosting (Xbox one). There is a game mode on the tv. I must say I really like the remotes function and it fits great in hand. Tv cost a little but you really feel the wow factor for not buying a 6000 version. Really a great tv all around. I did not check the angle view because it is on a wall in a octagon room. Makes the room look like a little theatre. Very happy with it.

I wasn't looking to break the bank upgrading from my Samsung 63 inch Plasma. I just wanted a reputable 4K display for watching movies/playing video games with HDR. This TV did not disappoint! Although not QLED or OLED (which for a decent display can run $6000+ for anything above 70 inches), the UN75MU8000's picture quality and additions are outstanding for it's price-point. You get HDR, very deep blacks, bright brights, 4K apps (now including Plex for 2017), and the remote is more usable than I thought. The TV found all the manufacturer information of all my devices that I plugged into it, including DirecTV. As of now, I have my devices running to the TV, passing though to the amp. Previously, I had everything hooking up to my amp, and passing through to the TV. I'm still testing the different audio codecs for pass through (I'll update later). But the addition of HDR for movies and gaming is stellar (keep in mind that this TV only supports HDR 10, not Dolby Vision)! I even went out and bought an Xbox One S for my affordable 4K UHD Blu-Ray player. Anyone recommend a good movie that will showcase all this? One nice surprise was that I was able to Bluetooth my Beats Studios to the display, so I can watch movies late at night without waking everyone up. Or, if you have a set of Bluetooth speakers in the backyard, you can have Pandora streaming through the Pandora app on the TV to the backyard. Very nice! The only issue I have (and this is the only reason I did not give 5 stars) is that when using a universal remote, such as Harmony, Tizon OS goes crazy. I am having difficulty finding the sweet spot between my Harmony remote and the TV where the OS does not keep switching apps on me. It's difficult to explain, but if you have a Harmony remote and this TV, you would understand. So, on my older Plazma, I was able to use one remote, my Harmony. With this new TV, I have to use a combo with the Harmony and the Samsung remote for the Apps. Other than that, I recommend this display for anyone on a budget. If you have no limit, I would go for the Samsung QLED or LG OLED. Either way, make sure you get an HDR enabled display (do your research on HDR-10 and Dolby Vision first because certain devices only support one or the other, sometimes both). Good times!

I was looking for a 75" TV, budget $3000 at maximum, and obviously I want the best TV for my money. Well I ended up buying a 75" MU8000 from Best Buy within my budget, I've had it for 6 days now. Best Buy/Geek Squad delivered it for free, and mounted it for free, while I worked from the couch on a Friday afternoon. And I absolutely love my TV, I may not be a videophile on the level of some of the people here, in fact I am certain I am more of a regular joe viewer, but I see nothing wrong with my TV it's fantastic and exactly what I was looking for. A 75" premium 4k TV that looks GORGEOUS. It's bright, it does well in my brightly lit living room with three 8 foot windows to the left, and 3 more directly across from it (about 18-20 feet away). I sit about 11-12 feet away and it's great. Off axis viewing is also pretty good. I have no complaints. Amazon and Netflix 4k is otherworldly, i've only watched a couple things but phew its awesome. If you are a videophile you may find things wrong with it, but if you're a regular joe, buy with confidence.

Tv picture is great, motion is awesome, display and apps are very easy to use. However, the WiFi Connection is terrible. This tv would never stay connected to my WiFi. I went online and found several websites with many Samsung TV owners who experienced this problem. I googled “Samsung tv won’t stay connected to WiFi” and found I wasn’t the only one having problems. Best Buy wouldn’t help because once I leave the store it’s Samsung’s problem. Called Samsung 3 times. Their response each time was “it’s an internet security problem, call your provider.” It wasn’t. Each time I turned the tv on, all of my devices connected to WiFi (phones, laptop, nest thermostat) would disconnect. I had to reset my modem/router each time. Never had this problem before getting this tv. Now, my tv is hardwired with a cat6 Ethernet cable and works perfectly. So, hopefully this doesn’t happen to you but knowing what I know now, with no support from Best Buy or Samsung, I would look at a different tv. Good luck.

I purchased this television online during the Black Friday deals. It was at a very good price for a 4k HDR screen of it's size. I ended up wall mounting it due to the stand footprint being larger than my roughly 5 foot TV stand, so I'd keep that in mind if looking to purchase it. Picture is absolutely beautiful, bought the 4k Planet Earth 2 Blu-Ray just to help show the amazing color range. Stock settings were fine, but if you don't know how to calibrate the picture may want to look into getting it done since it helps get the most out of the screen. Frame rate and picture quality are high enough that my dog and cat think that it is a weird new window, and it's pretty funny watching them stare at the screen in between testing my patience chasing each other around. First time I've seen them sit next to each other without them trying to tackle each other. Make sure that the cables and devices are actually capable of passing the signal properly. Had to upgrade my HDMI cables to get my Xbox One X to talk properly. Connected Apps are standard Samsung, not bad at all though I prefer the Xbox interfaces personally.

THE BAD: My first unit died within two weeks. The LCD panel had a large, dark, flashing square in the center of the screen. Even when the television works right, as with the replacement, there is definite streaking of black against white backgrounds when images move across white. You can see this easily when you simply move through a menu, going up and down. There will be tracer lines against the background. The GOOD: The picture looks really good, even before calibration. Calibration hasn't been done on mine yet, and it will be about another week before it is done. The black levels are very good. There is no clouding of black in very dark images. There is no light leak on the sides or corners of the screen. This television has absolutely ZERO overscan! This is wonderful! The OneConnect box allows you to connect things without getting behind the television. I use a theater processor and a theater system for video switching, so this doesn't do anything for me, but it will be great for many buyers. You CAN turn off the horrible video processing that makes all videos look like a soap opera. I have high hopes for this replacement unit working well, but I would not recommend this unit, due to my first one dying almost immediately and being replaced.

Had the Geek Squad come in, set up fast and efficiently---sold me an extended warranty and five days later----the TV goes dark on me. Sound is on, can change channels, inputs, etc., but just a low light blue cast to the screen....can see nothing. Got the usual India to Philippines service runaround the digital cul-de-sac, before they hooked me up directly to a Geek Squad Operator/Customer Svc., rep, who told me that the first appointment was five days out. When I went into the store today that I bought it from, a rep told me that the tech who will come out will likely inform me that the display has gone out, and they'll have to replace the TV (common problem of this model according to him). I moved a 12 year old Samsung 52" into my bedroom---thank God that's still humming along---heck, that's why I bought Samsung again. But, five days and then, poof! For a brand new and pricey device and the fact I upgraded to a multi-year protection plan---I'm not feeling too cheery about this purchase. If I knew this was going to happen, I probably would have just winged it myself, and purchased it from Costco.
