Samsung NU8000 LED LCD TV Review

June 18, 2018 by Chris Heinonen 4 Comments

The Samsung NU8000 is their best midrange TV set for 2018. After what I consider a down year in 2017, the first one in a long time for Samsung, they’ve made a number of changes to their displays for 2018 to address those issues. The NU8000 is still an edge-lit model but features an improved […]
