65 Class Nu8000 Premium Smart 4k Uhd Tv Review

Test Results

Design

Curved No

The design of the Samsung NU8000 is excellent. Compared to the MU8000, the new stand feels very solid and has a slightly smaller footprint, although if you were planning on using a soundbar in front end of the Tv set, you might have to brand some concessions. There are new cable management guides cutting into the back. The Goggle box does not include the mini OneConnect box, all of the connections are towards the side of the TV.

The stand is very different than the ones on the two previous models (the MU8000 and KS8000). It is very like to the stand institute on the JU7100. The Tv set is very stable and there is very little wobble.

Footprint of the 55" TV stand: 12.v" x 31.4".

Wall Mount VESA 200x200

The back of the Tv set has a textured terminate very like to last twelvemonth's MU8000. Information technology has new tracks for cable management that are cut the entire width of the back of the Tv set. The VESA wall mount is 200x200 instead of the 400x400 establish on most of last year's models .

Borders 0.35" (0.9 cm)

The NU8000 has slightly larger borders than last year's MU8000. The finish of the master bezel has changed from silver to black.

Max Thickness 2.28" (5.8 cm)

The TV is quite thin when viewed from the side, although it is slightly thicker than last year's MU8000.

When wall mounted, the Idiot box doesn't stick out much which is skillful. The lack of the OneConnect mini means y'all volition have more piece of work if you lot need to change the connections, only you don't take to worry almost where to place the box.

The overall build quality is average, nearly identical to the MU8000. Information technology is nearly entirely made of plastic merely feels solid. We haven't experienced any quality bug.

Update 07/31/2018: A few readers are reporting a clicking audio issue. From our investigation it seems to come from heat expansion of the back comprehend. We think that in one case the TV is warm plenty information technology should settle down.

Picture Quality

Native Contrast v,461 : 1

Contrast with local dimming 5,458 : 1

Fantabulous native dissimilarity ratio on the Samsung NU8000, approximately 15% better than the MU8000. This high dissimilarity ratio allows the TV to produce deep blackness scenes, especially when viewing in a dark room.

The local dimming feature has very little bear upon on the contrast ratio. This is to be expected as the local dimming on this edge-lit TV is not very effective at making blacks deeper.

Local Dimming Yeah

Backlight Edge

The local dimming on the NU8000 is bad. It dims the screen less than the MU8000, but focuses the dimming on moving highlights every bit it should. This helps reduce the corporeality of visible blooming and the black levels appear raised.

Great SDR peak brightness. In dark scenes, the TV tries to keep black levels low rather than favoring brighter highlights. Effulgence remains consistent, regardless of content and the Goggle box is vivid enough for most rooms.

Update 06/12/2018: Retested tiptop effulgence on firmware update 1103, and by sending the point with our Samsung K8500 Blu-ray player. The brightness is now significantly higher, by around 60 cd/chiliad². The score has been updated.

Decent HDR peak effulgence, slightly better than last year's MU8000 simply significantly dimmer than the X900F. Information technology is able to produce brief vivid highlights specially in the 2% - ten% range. Bright enough for almost all rooms.

Update 06/12/2018: Retested height brightness on firmware update 1103, and by sending the signal with our Samsung K8500 Blu-ray player. The brightness is at present significantly higher, by around 60 cd/thou². The score has been updated.

Good gray uniformity. The uniformity problems appear mainly around the edges of the screen. Every bit such, the TV's dirty screen result is not problematic when watching sports or playing games.

Night scene uniformity is very good. The edges appear slightly brighter than the middle only should not be noticeable.

Color Washout 23°

Colour Shift 21°

Brightness Loss 32°

Black Level Raise 16°

Gamma Shift 19°

Poor viewing angle. Colors and brightness shift if yous are even slightly off centre. The side seats of a 3 seat couch will notice a small difference, merely people sitting further off center than that will have degraded picture quality. If viewing angle is an issue, an IPS panel like in the X800E would be a amend choice.

Native Std. Dev. 0.727%

Std. Dev. w/ 50.D. 0.679%

Black uniformity is very expert on the NU8000. No clouding can be seen with or without local dimming. Standard divergence is much meliorate than last yr'south MU8000, and this year's X900F, which results in uniform nighttime scenes without distracting areas.

Like the MU8000, it is impossible to completely disable local dimming on this TV. As such, it is impossible to determine the true native black uniformity operation of this TV. Nosotros ran our test with the local dimming feature set to 'Low' (the everyman setting). The test for black uniformity with local dimming was taken with local dimming set to 'High'.

Screen End Semi-gloss

Total Reflections 5.eight%

Indirect Reflections 0.5%

Calculated Directly Reflections 5.2%

The TV reflects a lot of light, but not equally bad as other models we have tested like the MU8000. The semi-gloss finish diffuses reflections across about of the screen although at that place are no visible rainbows.

White Residue dE 1.98

Color dE 3.44

Gamma 2.thirteen

Colour Temperature 6,213 K

Flick Mode Film

Colour Temp Setting Warm 2

Gamma Setting BT.1886 +2, Effulgence +ii

Adept color accuracy out of the box, but follows our target of 6500K and two.2 gamma much worse than concluding year'southward MU8000. White balance has also much ruby-red/green and gamma is too loftier across the entire curve at 2.42. The color temperature is cold at 6032K giving colors more than of a yellow tint.

Update 04/12/2019: This TV was incorrectly measured with Brightness +2, instead of at 0. This only has a modest touch on on the results (slightly dimmer night scenes below about 30 IRE) and then we don't plan to retest it.

White Balance dE 0.21

Color Calibration Yes

Machine-Scale Function No

White residue and color temperature are most perfect post calibration. We were unable to correct color accuracy, although it remains acceptable for most people. We obtained the all-time results in the 'Movie' moving picture style.

You lot can run into our recommended settings here.

There are no obvious issues or artifacts when upscaling low-quality content.

No obvious issues upscaling 720p content.

1080p content played from a Blu-ray looks good.

No bug with native 4k content.

Good color gamut on the Samsung NU8000, slightly better than the MU8000. Colors in HDR will be fairly authentic, although the TV has difficulty displaying deep greens. Very similar results to the Sony X900E.

The 'Film' motion-picture show mode'south HDR EOTF follows the target PQ curve very well, upwardly until it rolls off into its max brightness. 'Game' and 'PC' modes as well have fairly accurate EOTFs. In 'PC' mode the 'Dynamic' picture mode has the best HDR EOTF, because 'Standard' way has a bug where it sometimes gets stuck in a dim state. *Corrected, meet below.

Update 05/02/2018: The color gamut was erroneously measured at a 50% stimulus. It has been remeasured at 75% stimulus to be in line with our other TVs. The results remain near identical.

Update 11/07/2018: The issues with the PC mode EOTF mentioned earlier was a mistake, it turns out the TV's 'Eco' fashion was left on in PC style accidentally (the PC mode setting is independent of the normal ane). The PC style EOTF has been remeasured in the 'Standard' picture way, and isn't quite as proficient as the 'Picture' manner EOTF (darkens dim shades a little), but is still pretty good.

In that location is no measurable temporary paradigm retentiveness on the NU8000, even immediately later the burn-in scene. This is expert, especially for gamers.

Permanent Burn-In Risk No

We don't expect VA panels to experience permanent prototype retention, as the VA console in our long-term test appears allowed.

Move

eighty% Response Fourth dimension iv.7 ms

100% Response Time 12.eight ms

Very fast pixel response time, good enough for fast-moving content like sports and video games. Most of the blur in the photograph is due to backlight flicker; the ghosting trail following the moving logo is fairly short, which is proficient.

Flicker-Free No

PWM Dimming Frequency 240 Hz

The Tv dims its backlight by using PWM flicker at 240 Hz. This flicker is unfortunately present at all brightness levels just is less severe at high brightness. This flicker makes fast motion look a little more articulate, but also introduces unwanted duplications, as visible in the photograph in the Response Time box.

Optional BFI Yes

Min Flicker for 60 fps 60 Hz

60 Hz for 60 fps Yes

120 Hz for 120 fps Yes

Min Flicker for threescore fps in Game Mode 60 Hz

The Samsung NU8000 has an optional lx Hz flicker mode, activated past enabling 'LED Clear Movement' in the 'Auto Movement Plus' menu. This sixty Hz flicker greatly clears up motion during 60 fps content, but the flicker can exist bothersome to some people. This flicker can too be activated in Game mode, past using the 'Game Motion Plus' card, which is a first for Samsung TVs.

Update 01/09/2019: We have retested the backlight flicker at 120 Hz, and can confirm that the NU8000 does flicker at 120 Hz when displaying a 120 Hz signal.

Move Interpolation (30 fps) Yep

Motion Interpolation (60 fps) Yes

The Samsung 55NU8000 has a 120 Hz panel, and tin interpolate lower frame rate content up to 120 fps. This makes motion much smoother, only can wait foreign to some people (the so-called 'lather opera effect'), and sometimes adds unwanted artifacts during fast motion. Interpolation is activated by setting 'Motorcar Motion Plus' to 'Custom'; increase the 'Judder Reduction' slider to interpolate low frame rate content, and increment the 'Blur Reduction' slider to interpolate 60 fps content.

Game mode now besides has motion interpolation, 'Game Motion Plus', which doesn't await as good as 'Auto Motility Plus' just adds much less input lag, as explained in the Input Lag box.

Frame Hold Time @ 24 fps 28.9 ms

Frame Hold Fourth dimension @ threescore fps iii.9 ms

The Telly is decent at showing smooth motion in depression frame rate content like movies, however, its fast response time tin sometimes make motion wait stuttery, such as in broad panning shots, because each frame stays unchanged for 29 ms.

Judder-Free 24p Yeah

Judder-Free 24p via 60p Yes

Judder-Free 24p via 60i No

Judder-Complimentary 24p via Native Apps Yes

The 55NU8000 can remove 24p motion picture judder from most sources, except 60i input such as cablevision boxes; this is a regression from last twelvemonth'due south Samsung TVs, which could remove judder from all common sources. To activate judder removal, set 'Auto Move Plus' to 'Custom', 'Judder Reduction' to 0 and 'Blur Reduction' to 0; this volition remove judder without adding lather opera effect.

VRR Supported Connectors HDMI

The NU8000 does non back up FreeSync from our Radeon RX 580 GPU. We tried diverse combinations of game mode, PC mode, input refresh rates, etc., and FreeSync was never detected as supported.

Update 05/23/2018: Firmware version 1103 has added FreeSync support.

Update 06/08/2018: FreeSync has been tested and the score has been updated. FreeSync was supported from our Xbox I S and our Radeon RX 580 GPU, in 1080p, 1440p and 4k resolutions. FreeSync is activated by enabling the TV'due south Game fashion and FreeSync settings; PC mode is not required. We tested in Ultimate style considering information technology has the widest range, and we merely recommend Basic mode when y'all experience problems with Ultimate.

Update 10/26/2018: We have received confirmation that the 49" NU8000 does support FreeSync. Since it has a sixty Hz console, the 1080p VRR range is limited to threescore Hz.

Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) Yeah

1440p @ 120 Hz: nine.7 ms

Splendid depression input lag, good enough for even competitive console gaming. This input lag is lower than last yr's Samsung TVs like the MU8000, and lower than many electric current Sony TVs similar the X900F, but is slightly worse than many TCL TVs similar the P607.

The NU8000 has a new 'Game Movement Plus' feature, which adds motion interpolation (soap opera effect) without calculation too much input lag; this feature is useful when gaming on older consoles that can but output 30 fps, or for games that have frequent framerate dips. The 'Judder Reduction' slider interpolates content upward to 60 fps, while the 'Mistiness Reduction' slider interpolates upwards to 120 fps. When 'Mistiness Reduction' is used the input lag for 4k increases from 23.8 ms to 29.3 ms, but this increment shouldn't be noticeable during gaming.

Update 04/24/2018: The NU8000 and the Samsung 2018 QLEDs added support for Motorcar Game Mode. When it is enabled from the input card the Goggle box will automatically switch to Game Mode when it detects a game beingness played on a console. Nosotros tested information technology on a PS4 and Xbox One S and it worked perfectly.

Update 06/08/2018: The input lag with VRR has been tested and added to the review.

Update 06/11/2018: 1440p @ 120 Hz performance has improved as of firmware version 1103. The 1440p @ 120 Hz input lag is at present 9.7 ms, down from 24.viii ms.

1080p @ threescore Hz @ 4:4:4 Yes

1080p @ 120 Hz Yes (native support)

1440p @ 60 Hz No

1440p @ 120 Hz Yeah (native support)

4k @ 60 Hz Yes

4k @ sixty Hz @ iv:four:four Yes

4k @ 120 Hz No

8k @ 30 Hz or 24 Hz No

8k @ 60 Hz No

Most common resolutions are supported. 4k @ 60 Hz @ iv:4:4 or 4:2:two color is only supported when 'HDMI UHD Color' is enabled (aka HDMI two.0 total bandwidth). New this year is 1080p @ 120 Hz @ iv:4:4 support, which is useful when using the TV every bit a PC monitor. 1440p @ 120 Hz is as well supported, but 4:4:4 colour isn't displayed properly. Oddly enough, 1440p @ sixty Hz isn't supported, non even when using a custom resolution from a PC.

four:4:4 chroma subsampling is just shown properly when the input'southward icon is set up to 'PC' (aka PC mode). This unfortunately isn't possible for some input refresh rates such as 24 Hz; in these cases the icon changes to PC every bit normal just PC fashion isn't applied, as evidenced by the improper 4:4:4 color resolution and some settings not being greyed out as they should exist.

Dynamic Range Pinch iii.39 dB

The frequency response of the NU8000 is decent, and very similar to the 2017 model the MU8000. The LFE (low-frequency extension) is at 67Hz, which is skilful and lower than what most TVs are able to reach. This means that the TV should be able to produce a decent amount of bass and punch. However, due to the lack of a self-calibrating system, it wasn't able to remove the room buildup around 200Hz. The response in the mid and treble ranges are quite fifty-fifty and apartment, ensuring a neutral sound reproduction. Additionally, the maximum loudness of the Television set is above-boilerplate, merely they may produce some pumping and compression artifacts under maximum load.

Weighted THD @ eighty 0.736

Weighted THD @ Max 1.235

IMD @ 80 1.32%

IMD @ Max iii.68%

The harmonic distortion performance is about boilerplate. The overall amount of THD is rather elevated, just on there doesn't seem to exist a dramatic rise in THD nether maximum load. However, the abrupt peaks effectually 1KHz and 2KHz, could the make the sound of those frequencies a bit harsh and brittle.

Other Smart Features Yes

Remote App Samsung SmartThings

Samsung's smart remote is adequately modest and has few buttons, requiring users to either navigate through the dwelling menu to access things, or to use Samsung'south Bixby vox assistant characteristic. Bixby's vocalism recognition works very well, and it can perform many useful actions on the TV: commands like 'Change to HDMI i', 'Set backlight to 25', 'What's the weather like tomorrow', and 'Pause video' all work well. Samsung'southward smart remote tin can also act as a universal remote for other devices, even devices that don't support HDMI CEC, using Samsung'south OneRemote feature.

The Idiot box has merely a single concrete button, which brings upward a carte du jour that can power the TV on and off, control the volume and channel, and alter inputs.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

We tested the 55" (UN55NU8000) version FA01. For the about part, we expect our review to be valid for the 49" version (UN49NU8000), 65" version (UN65NU8000), 75" version (UN75NU8000) and 82" version (UN82NU8000). Annotation that, like the MU8000, the 49" model has a 60Hz console instead of the 120Hz console found on other sizes.

In that location is an NU8070 variant that is available in the Eu only. It is available in 49", 55", and 65". We're not sure what differences there are exactly, only Samsung markets the NU8070 every bit having "Supreme UHD Dimming", whereas the NU8000 in the E.U. is advertised with "UHD Dimming". Information technology is interesting to note that the NU8000 in the U.S. is marketed with "Supreme UHD Dimming".

Warehouse stores in the U.S., including Sam's Gild and Costco, carry the model code NU800D. Every bit far as we know, it is the exact same TV, merely there may be some very minor cosmetic differences.

If someone comes beyond a unlike blazon of panel or if their Samsung NU8000 doesn't correspond to our review, let us know and nosotros volition update the review. Note that the gray uniformity does vary on a unit-past-unit basis.

Compared To Other TVs

Superlative left: LG SJ9500 (65SJ9500). Lesser left: Samsung MU8000 (UN55MU8000). Center: Samsung NU8000 (UN55NU8000). Top right: Samsung MU6300 (UN55MU6300). Bottom right: Sony X900F (XBR55X900F).  Unlike our other photographs, this movie wasn't taken under a controlled surround, so practice not draw conclusions from it.

The Samsung NU8000 is a very good 4k Goggle box without major flaws, only for unlike usages, at that place may exist a meliorate selection - especially considering the cost premium of this 2018 model over comparable 2017 TVs. Meet our recommendations for the best 4k TVs, the all-time 65 inch TVs and the best flatscreen TVs.

43" fifty" 55" 65" 75" 85"

The Samsung NU8000 is much better than the Samsung TU8000. It has more features such as local dimming, back up for variable refresh rate technology, and the power to remove judder from all sources. It can besides go much brighter and has better overall picture quality. On the other paw, the TU8000 has a somewhat improved contrast ratio and much better blackness uniformity.

49" 55" 65" 75" 82"

The Samsung NU8000 is marginally better than the Samsung MU8000 for almost every usage. The Samsung NU8000 has slightly improve input lag and includes the FreeSync variable refresh charge per unit choice, which is great if you play video games. Also, the Samsung NU8000 has marginally better SDR peak effulgence and slightly better reflection handling. This allows you to place information technology in a brighter room where you tin enjoy the coincidental watching of TV shows.

55" 65" 75"

The Samsung Q7FN is ameliorate than the Samsung NU8000. The Samsung Q7FN has much better reflection handling so y'all tin easily identify it in a bright room with many windows. The Q7FN performs better in HDR as it tin can go brighter and has a wider color gamut that allows it to display rich and saturated colors with highlights that popular. Finally, the Samsung Q7FN has a slightly better blackness frame insertion feature which helps articulate the image from motility blur.

40" 43" 50" 55" 58" 65" 75"

The Samsung NU8000 is much amend than the Samsung NU7100. The NU8000 is much brighter with all types of content. Motion is smoother as it tin remove 24p judder from almost all sources, and the faster response time means less move mistiness. The NU8000 besides has some avant-garde gaming features, including automatic low latency mode and support for a variable refresh rate.

49" 55" 65" 75" 82"
