The Samsung TU8000 is an entry-level budget TV from Samsung's 2020 lineup, also sold as the TU8200 at Walmart. Despite lacking a local dimming feature, it displays deep blacks thanks to its outstanding contrast ratio and remarkable black uniformity, making it best suited to watching dark content in a dark room. While it supports HDR10+, it doesn't deliver a satisfying HDR experience because its color gamut is somewhat limited, and it doesn't get bright enough to bring out highlights in HDR content. Unfortunately, it also has narrow viewing angles, so the image looks washed out when viewed from the sides, but this is expected from a VA panel. On the upside, it has a decent response time that results in clear motion and a remarkably low input lag for a responsive gaming experience, but there's no variable refresh rate (VRR) support.

Refresh Rate: 60Hz
Number of HDMI Inputs: 3
Number Of USB Port(s) (Total): 2
HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC): Yes
Number of USB 2.0 Ports: 2
Number of Digital Optical Audio Outputs: 1
Number of Component Video Inputs: 0
Number of Composite Video Inputs: 1
Number of DVI Inputs: 0
RF Antenna Input: Yes
Network Compatibility: Built-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet
Ethernet Port: Yes
Bluetooth Enabled: Yes
Bluetooth Version: 4.2

IMO, the 82" RU9000 at $80 more ($1680) when signed-in to your BB account, is a better buy.
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sams...Id=6408869
From RTINGS: "Overall, the Samsung RU9000 is better than the Samsung TU8000. The RU9000 has a higher peak brightness, a much wider color gamut, and significantly better gradient handling. The RU9000 also has a faster response time, it can remove judder from all sources, and it has a 120Hz refresh rate. Input lag is lower on the TU8000, but if you want VRR support, only the RU9000 has it."

Edit: FYI... Costco Members Only Sale... through 2/12... 82" RU9000 $1499 w/ 5 yr warranty (YMMV?)

I have the 43 inch model. The processor is laggy and requires a hard reset (powering completely off and reboot) every couple days. Definitely a big and noticeable step down from my NU8000.
Good price if you want a huge tv without hdmi 2.1

fyi about rtings, they never actually get 85 inchers to review. They have no idea the issues these large sets have more frequently than their smaller counterparts.

I remember they had a late November deal for a 82" samsung tv for 1100. Which I missed out on, waiting for a deal like that again.

I have the 65inch and have noticed the same issue. I have no concerns with the picture or function when it works, but that hard reset can be annoying at times.

I think a series 9 tv for 85" would be better. But not sure about the deal!

Such a great point. I really like rtings, but pretty much every review is on a 55" model. Being in the market for an 85-incher myself, I can't help but worry about what undiscovered issues might be unique to these behemoths

Why did you replace your NU8000 with a later Samsung model when they have gotten worse?
