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 […]

It features a full array backlight with 45 zones of local dimming (9×5 I believe, but am not certain), HDR and wide color gamut support, a true 120Hz refresh rate, and integrated streaming through Android TV. With one of the only […]
