About this deal

Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying a live scene and white square taking up 60% of the screen (measured in Nits) To test the Samsung BU8500 we used Portrait Displays Calman colour calibration software. Samsung BU8500 review: Sound quality The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area. It’s quite distinct through the mid-range and, again, quite decent levels of detail. Voices project forwards well, and they're actually quite nicely balanced – until they start to nudge into the upper frequency range. Once it reaches the higher frequencies, the BU8500 becomes quite hard and edgy, bringing sibilance and even a hint of coarseness to treble sounds. It’s a trait that’s only exacerbated by volume.

Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches. Other connection options include two USB ports, a CI slot, Ethernet, digital optical out and RF inputs for terrestrial and satellite connections. Wirelessly, there’s Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi. Compare the UE65BU8000 with, say, Samsung’s QN90B Neo QLED and there’s an obvious and predictable gulf in quality. But the former is pitched to a more affordable market, and judged on its own merits, it offers a decent viewing experience. But its HDR performance left me wanting for a more expressive picture. Simply relax and enjoy all the content you love, with a 4K upscaling TV that adapts to give you the best 4K Ultra HD picture. But it doesn’t stop there. The sound adjusts to perfectly suit what you’re watching. A TV drama or the tennis, you’ll really feel part of the action.

There are two feet to be screwed to the chassis, and they can be made to look like a single pedestal using a plastic cover that feels rather cheap and fits only approximately. Still, it raises the bottom of the screen sufficiently to comfortably fit a soundbar beneath. Samsung BU8500 review: Value

Samsung’s fitted its ‘Crystal 4K’ processing engine to run the show, and while there’s a degree of picture-quality finessing the end-user can indulge in via the setup menus, to a large extent you’ll get what the processing algorithms give you. Additional compatible webcam or mobile camera required. Sold separately. Available on 2021 & 2022 TVs only Elevate your home workout experience with Samsung Smart TV. 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. This TV’s sense of detail is not forensic, whether it’s peeking into bright or dark tones, and there’s a fuzziness in general: the leather texture and styling of Geralt’s suit in The Witcher seem hazy in their definition. There’s an overall softness that indicates the BU8000 doesn’t offer the sharpest-looking image.The BU8500 ships in the Standard mode, which as usual is too bright, has colours that are oversaturated and introduces an excess of blue into the grayscale. Thankfully, switching to the Filmmaker mode immediately produces greater accuracy, with a greyscale that measures an average Delta E (error) of 1.6, which is well below the visible threshold of three. Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying small white square taking up 60% of the screen (measured in Nits) Another key new element to the UE65HU8500 is a football mode introduced in recognition of the fact that this is a World Cup year. This switches to a footie-friendly picture preset, lets you highlight footage of a particular player from the tournament, and rather niftily gives you the option to have your TV automatically record a game’s highlights to USB, with the TV deciding what’s a ‘highlight’ by analysing crowd noise.

Experience clear picture and smooth performance with Motion Xcelerator. Samsung’s clear motion rate algorithms predict and automatically compensate frames, so your picture adapts as fast as your game. The smart hub is divided into sections accessible on the left-hand side. The main hub is an entertainment one, while the Gaming Hub, Universal Guide (basically, search function) and Settings are the other three sections (the BU8000 doesn’t support the Ambient mode that shows images when the TV is in its “sleep” mode). Accessibility (Enlarge / High Contrast / Multi-output Audio / Color Inversion / Grayscale / Sign Language Zoom / Slow Button Repeat) Now, we have the UE65BU8000, the step-down model from the BU8500 – both of which are new sets in Samsung’s affordable Crystal UHD range. New this year is the amazing Crystal Processor 4K which optimises and adapts what is on the screen for the best 4K picture and targeted sound.

Sections

The Samsung BU8500 isn’t the greatest choice as a gaming TV, in part because the 50Hz panel precludes support for 4K/120Hz high-frame-rate gaming, along with VRR (variable refresh rate), Freesync and the Motion Xcelerator Turbo Pro technology found on other Samsung TVs. Get instant access to over 100 channels with TV Plus. Watch top news, dramas, entertainment and more. Free TV, with no subscription, no sign-up, no additional device, or credit card needed. The Samsung BU8500 is a 4K (3,840 x 2,160) HDR smart TV that comes in screen sizes ranging from 43in to 75in. It’s part of Samsung’s entry-level 2022 Crystal UHD range, which sits below its selection of QLED and Neo QLED TVs. Like the rest of the Crystal UHD range, the BU8500 is powered by the South Korean manufacturer’s Crystal 4K Processor. El apartado de audio en esta gama es el mismo casi siempre, con 2 altavoces de 10W y Dolby Digital Plus. En este caso tenemos que apuntar que para las dimensiones de estos televisores (65 y 75 pulgadas), vemos totalmente insuficiente estos altavoces si vas a ver películas y series. Si es para un comercio lo vemos muy acertado, pero para un hogar necesitarás acompañarla de una barra de sonido con subwoofer independiente para que esté a la altura.
