The TV even supports remote access to PCs, Samsung’s DeX docking system, and cloud access to Office 365, and includes a web browser. It can also mirror your computer or mobile device’s screen through Windows 8.1/10 wireless display support, Apple AirPlay, and Samsung’s SmartThings app. The platform supports voice assistants through the remote’s microphone, letting you choose between Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Samsung’s own Bixby.
Twitch is missing, however, and while there are some interesting additional apps like Steam Link for playing games streamed from your PC, the app selection is otherwise a bit lacking compared with the aforementioned smart TV platforms.įortunately, what the TU8000 lacks in app numbers, it makes up for in features. The company’s Tizen-powered Smart TV interface features a number of popular streaming apps like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Sling TV, and YouTube. Samsung continues to use its own smart TV platform rather than a third-party system like Amazon Fire TV, Google TV, or Roku TV. Apart from the screen size difference, the 65-inch $749.99 UN65TU8000FXZA is identical in features, and we expect similar performance. It won’t wow you with contrast or color, especially next to comparable Hisense and TCL models, but it’s packed with useful features and offers modest but consistent performance for a reasonable price.Įditors' Note: This review is based on testing performed on the UN55TU8000FXZA, the 55-inch model in the series. The TU8000 is a solid, economical entry in the Crystal UHD line, with the 55-inch UN55TU8000FXZA model we tested available for just $549.99. These models don’t use color-widening quantum dots, but they’re much less expensive, and can be compelling alternatives for budget-minded shoppers. Samsung also offers budget-friendly TVs in the form of its Crystal UHD lineup. They’re generally sleek, stylish panels that offer impressive color performance, but they’re also quite pricey. When it comes to TVs, Samsung is best known for its high-end QLED models, so-called because of their use of quantum dot technology.
