Product Information

The Samsung can cope with both in the same scene without alarms, helped quite a bit by nicely even backlighting, which is not always a given in cheaper TVs. There’s a choice of a standard Samsung controller or a SolarCell remote that recharges using solar energy, and offers a stripped-down set of keys including basic navigation controls, volume and channel up/down, plus direct access buttons for Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and TV Plus.

One of the great advantages of Samsung’s lower-tier TVs is that they come with the brand’s full Tizen smart system. Choose from a range of networks and inclusive monthly plans to get started with your new Galaxy phone straight away. The SDR picture quality is excellent, with Filmmaker mode producing images that are pleasingly accurate.If you don’t fancy that option, though, and would rather stand your new TV on a surface, the Samsung’s feet are usefully close together, so your surface needn’t be as wide as the screen itself. Unfortunately, the treble can feel harsh and sibilant, and the 20W of amplification struggles at higher volumes. The Samsung BU8500 may look slim and elegant, but that doesn’t leave much room for large speakers, and the sound quality suffers as a result.

La conectividad es igualmente buena, contando con HDMI ARC (para barras de sonido), USB, Bluetooth y Wi-Fi. But play around a bit to find the optimum balance and the color palette is naturalistic, convincing and wide-ranging. The Samsung Health app lets you enjoy free premium classes, start new wellness routines and even get the whole household moving with family challenges – all from the comfort of your home. Certainly an HD broadcast of some elite-level tennis suffers hardly at all – colors are confidently described, on-screen movement is stable in almost all circumstances, and detail levels stay high.

It shares a lot of similarities with its 2022 Crystal UHD stablemate, including its AirSlim design and Crystal Processor 4K. The BU8500 can’t quite get down to ‘true’ black, but the dark tones it does generate are very deep indeed, but retain a lot of detail and variation within them. Each household may only recycle one of each type of product and will receive only one trade-up discount for each product type recycled. And when you consider the BU8500 as an object, it’s slimmer and more understated than many flagship TVs from just a few years ago.
