SAMSUNG55-Inch Class Crystal 4K UHD AU8000 Series HDR, 3 HDMI Ports, Motion Xcelerator, Tap View, PC on TV, Q Symphony, Smart TV with Alexa Built-In (UN55AU8000FXZA, 2021 Model)

The good: Slim, lightweight, Brilliant OS, One intuitive remote, great color, stunning picture in quality 4kThe not-so-good: Black not as deep as possible, lack of true quality 4k contentSamsung makes a really great product with this TV. It’s very slim and lightweight – I hung our 55” without any help from anyone, if that gives you an idea. The OS and interface are great – you can get anywhere you want to go in a few clicks. As a matter of fact, the OS and apps are so good that we have stopped using our Fire TV stick (we own 4 – now only 3 are in use) because we found it more convenient than switching back and forth between inputs and using two remotes. This is saying something, because we’ve been Fire TV fans from day 1 and own a stick for every TV in the house. The remote itself is just as brilliant as the OS and is also a match for the FireTV remote – we use the Samsung as our sole remote now. Despite the low price, this thing has incredible color and picture quality. You’d expect that for an affordable TV you would get a noticably lower quality picture, but you just don’t. With quality 4k content (for example, Sir David Attenborough’s Netflix content), you can tell the difference 4k makes without having something to compare it to.Only a couple of complaints here. The blacks on this TV aren’t as deep as the more expensive sets out there. However, we weren’t interested in paying 5 times as much for an OLED just for deeper blacks. There is also a distinct lack of content out there that’s true 4k with the brilliant picture quality and insane color like you’ve been conditioned to expect. Plenty of content is technically 4k nowadays, and quality is decent, but the picture quality simply doesn’t pop like you’d think it should. Neither of these two complaints are the fault of Samsung’s product here – just facts of life to be aware of while shopping.Bottom line, we will go for a Samsung TV next time we need one, no question. Samsung does make a great product, and this is a prime example of that fact.

I've always loved Samsung products and this one is no different! It's sleek without sacrificing quality. The picture is well... Crystal clear! The TV speakers aren't the best out there but given the fact that they sell really high quality sound bars I'm not too upset about it. The dynamic picture settings are really good! I'm picky though so I will tweak them here and there depending on if I'm gaming or just watching a show. The only feature that Samsung really flopped with is the SmartThings function for their TVs, it's really glitchy and doesn't always work as intended. Good thing is that SmartThings isn't instrumental to the function of the TV! Overall I'd say this purchase was more than worth it.

TV arrived ahead of schedule! Took 30 minutes to set up. A great picture and sound quality. Still cannot decide which is better, a soundbar or the speakers from the actual TV. Use this with internet connection only streaming Hulu Live. Because of the size, had to put it on a wall that is behind where the modem is. I was concerned that the signal would be interrupted, however no issues with lag time or any service. I did a ton of research on the next size up when thinking of buying a new tv. Samsung has always been my go-to tv. This one does not disappoint. The price was good and so far the only thing negative I have to say is I wish the remote was backlit, it would make it much easier to hit the correct button. If you are looking for an upgrade to a larger tv I would recommend this one.

This is a good TV for the price, but not quite as easy to set up and connect with my Samsung sound bar as I thought it would be. It took my tech-savvy neighbor an hour to get everything connected and up and running, but I'm pretty happy with the results. My only "complaint" is the picture quality - which reminds me of watching an old soap opera, with a not-so-sharp picture and slightly muted colors and clarity. Oh well, it is what it is!

Quality product. Vivid colors

Installation and setup were straightforward since I was already using an Amazon Fire TV Stick on my 32in Samsung TV. I Installed an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K MAX which loaded the same configuration already existing on my 32in Samsung TV. Reaching the SOURCE screen is more difficult with the AU8000 than it was with my M4500 32in Samsung TV. Unlike the M4500 remote, there is no SOURCE button on the AU8000 remote. I have not tried interfacing any bluetooth devices yet. Picture quality and sound on my AU8000 are good.

Tv worked for about a year. Started acting really slow, laggy, volume wouldn’t work sometimes would have to restart the tv, would freeze up when using the controller to scroll to different things. Now it’s stuck in a boot loop turning off and on. Had it less than 2 years, always been hung up, clean still has the plastic on it😂 never been misused and Samsung won’t do anything to fix it. Want me to pay a tech to diagnose it and pay again to fix it. 10/10 would not recommend buying. I’ve had a lot of Samsung devices but this one is garbage so is the customer service. Seriously don’t waste your time I paid $600 less than 2 years ago and have to buy a whole new TV. Was told it’s a known issue

Picture quality is amazing. It is a smart tv. Samsung TV has smart sync with my Samsung phone and it is super simple to cast stuff to it. Remote is small and sleek, buttons are responsive and feel like good quality. Comes with Samsung TV which is a free TV platform. Some apps i couldnt find for Samsung, but that doesnt degrade the quality of the TV. The size is perfect i got the 55in, and its not too heavy. I was able to mount it to my wall myself and im not a big dude. Love this TV.
