Samsung AU8000 UA75AU8000WXXY (75")

Samsungs quality has slipped and customer service is disappointing – Purchased a Samsung UA75AU8000W 75" Crystal UHD end of 2001. Towards end of last year started having problems with it turning on off, with red standby LED flashing a couple of times and screen black, as if in a boot loop. Would turn off for a few hours and it would work again. Also noticed two areas on the screen were a bit darker from top to… Read more

bottom. Came back from holidays and now it continually does it. Phoned customer service and they said it was out off warranty and it should be binned. Been looking online for a fix, and have read a lot of reports that this is a common fault with Samsung TVs - faulty LED panels. I have a Samsung 32" that is at least 10 years old, still going strong. They don't make them like they use to.

(being a little over a year) before it suddenly went bad on me and the screen went dark in areas and was unwatchable. Although I didn’t take out the extended warranty and the year warranty had lapsed, Samsung still stood behind their product and fixed it for us. Because of this, I will always purchase and recommend Samsung products to anyone. Any other company probably would have just told me that I was out of luck and to spend thousands of dollars on a new one but not Samsung. They clearly stand behind their product.

The Samsung AU8000 Review. How is it in 2023? – The Samsung AU8000 is an affordable 4K television that promises to deliver quality viewing experiences for those on a budget. However, it's important to understand its strengths and weaknesses to see if it truly lives up to those promises. Starting with its strengths, the Samsung AU8000 has a high contrast ratio, which is great news for movie… Read more ·  1

lovers. This means that blacks will appear deeper and whites will appear brighter, providing a more dynamic viewing experience. Additionally, it has great reflection handling, making it a great option for those with a few lights in the room. This is especially useful for those who enjoy watching TV shows and sports, as it reduces the amount of distracting reflections on the screen. And for those who enjoy gaming, the AU8000 has low input lag, both in and outside of Game Mode, ensuring a responsive gaming experience.

On the other hand, the Samsung AU8000 does have its share of weaknesses. Firstly, it lacks a local dimming feature, which would have improved the contrast even further by making the black levels deeper. Additionally, it doesn't get very bright in either SDR or HDR, so it may struggle to bring out the highlights in brighter scenes. Another issue is its slow response time, which causes motion to appear blurry, making it less than ideal for fast-paced action scenes.

One other thing to consider is its viewing angles. The Samsung AU8000 has narrow viewing angles, which means that the image may appear washed out when viewed from the side. This means that it's not the best option for those with wide seating arrangements.

In conclusion, the Samsung AU8000 is an entry-level 4K TV that has its strengths and weaknesses. It's great for those who enjoy watching movies and TV shows in a dark room, but it may not be the best option for those with wide seating arrangements or for those who enjoy fast-paced action scenes. It's low input lag and great reflection handling make it a decent option for gamers, but it's slow response time may cause some issues. Ultimately, it's up to the individual to decide whether the AU8000 is the right TV for them, taking into consideration their specific needs and preferences.

Just had it a day so far and it is brilliant!! – We bought the samsung 75 inch tv and had it installed on the wall after having smaller free standing tvs in the past. When the box arrived we wondered if we had chosen a set that was literally too big for comfort, but once installed and the basic functions explained, we could be more delighted. The set does not overpower our room, but seamlessly… Read more ·  1

blends in- somehow hanging it on the wall makes it less intrusive than a smaller freestanding tv on a tv table!

One of the amazing functions of the set is the voice operated remote control, ask it to change channel and it does- increase volume and up the volume goes in controlled increments- change source and that’s what happens. And it doesn’t matter if it’s my voice command or my wife’s and we have very different accents!

The picture quality is as good as our previous smaller screen models and the sound is quite comparable too. The tv connects easily to the home internet and the set details are automatically registered at the push of a button

The set is preloaded with viewing options, netflix, stan, youtube, catch up, free to air( which it quaintly describes as terrestrial tv) etc etc and the internet connection allows plenty of other app choices to be installed

All in all we are both mesmerised by the tv and very happy with our purchase!
