Samsung MU8000 82" 4K HDR Extreme LED TV (2017)

Hate wires? The high-end Samsung Q7 is for you. But if you demand the absolute best picture quality, look to OLED.

  The Samsung Q7 QLED TV is one of the best-designed TVs ever, with sleek, modern styling and impeccable fit and finish. The innovative "invisible" wiring system and breakout box make installation superclean. Picture quality is very good, especially in bright rooms.

  The expensive Q7's overall image quality can't match OLED or the better LED LCD TVs.

If you're looking for a 4K/HDR TV that will satisfy your desires for the latest in flashy TV tech and provide a premium all-around experience, might I suggest the **Samsung MU8000 / Samsung MU8500** series?

The UE55MU7000 (known as the MU8000 in the UK) is more impactful with the sort of bright 4K, HDR images it was essentially made for than pretty much any rival in its price range. The push for brightness does compromise contrast and backlighting at times, though, and Samsung’s own step-down MU7000s...

  Impressively bright HDR pictures, Good smart TV system, Attractive design, Minimal input lag

  Some black level issues, Limited viewing angles, MU7000s are better value, No Dolby Vision support

The Samsung UN55MU8000 is a 4K TV that has good aesthetics and strong performance to match, at sub-OLED prices. If you're on a not-so-tight budget, its something you can grab for home entertainment.

  Strong contrast. Wide color gamut with fairly accurate primary colors. OneConnect box offers convenient connectivity. Attractive design and interface.

• -

  Whites, yellows, and magentas run a bit cool. No legacy analog video connections.

Overall, there’s a whole lot to like about this Samsung television. The 4K HDR picture has a really punchy colour palette and lashings of detail - and it's easy to use.With all those streaming services built in, you won’t be lacking for content either. Samsung’s competitors don’t have it easy.

• +

  Vivid colours across the spectrum, Natural skin tones, Sophisticated handling of detail, Easy-to-use smart hub

  Restricted viewing angles, Lacks dynamism in its sound

Samsung proves that you don’t need to spend a fortune to appreciate 4K and HDR.

• +

  Strong contrast, Deep blacks, Low latency, Clean, sharp picture

  Colours not as striking as Quantum Dot sets, Some backlight clouding, Poor viewing angles

The Samsung 55MU8000 really brings 4K HDR content to life, with bright, vivid images and tons of detail. It's a stunningly beautiful centrepiece for your home too, with a sleek, high-end design. Samsung's Smart TV system is superb, and this is a top-rated premium 55-inch TV.

Love our Samsung 75" QLED 4K Smart TV. We set everything up ourselves and are using the TV stand initially. Will have a professional install the wall mount. The picture is incredible. The one connect box made things simple.

  The Smart TV apps proved will allow to go to all streaming without expensive TV services.

  This really isn't a con but a heads up. We noticed the picture was brighter during the day but darker in the evening which we didn't like. We disable the feature that adjusted the TV picture based on ambient light in the room in the settings and love the result.

We did a lot of research between the QLED and OLED. One of our main issues was a lot of glare on our current Samsung. The QLED does not have that issue at all. Great picture, brightness and design. Would highly recommend to anyone with issues with glare,.

Beautiful blacks right out of the box. Slim design for the size and price. 4K with HDR Netflix nature shows are eye opening.
