Samsung 8 Series Un75nu8000f - 75 Led Smart Tv - 4k Ultra Hd Review

Test Results

Design

Samsung NU8000 Design Picture

Curved No

The pattern of the Samsung NU8000 is excellent. Compared to the MU8000, the new stand up feels very solid and has a slightly smaller footprint, although if you were planning on using a soundbar in front of the TV, you lot might have to make some concessions. There are new cablevision management guides cut into the back. The Boob tube does non include the mini OneConnect box, all of the connections are towards the side of the Tv.

Samsung NU8000 Stand Picture

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

Footprint of the 55" Boob tube stand: 12.five" x 31.4".

Samsung NU8000 Back Picture

Wall Mount VESA 200x200

The dorsum of the Goggle box has a textured end very similar to final year's MU8000. It has new tracks for cable management that are cut the entire width of the dorsum of the TV. The VESA wall mount is 200x200 instead of the 400x400 plant on almost of terminal year's models .

Samsung NU8000 Borders Picture

Borders 0.35" (0.9 cm)

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

Samsung NU8000 Thickness Picture

Max Thickness 2.28" (5.eight cm)

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

When wall mounted, the Television doesn't stick out much which is adept. The lack of the OneConnect mini means you will have more work if you need to change the connections, but you lot don't have to worry nigh where to identify the box.

Samsung NU8000 Build quality picture

The overall build quality is average, most identical to the MU8000. It is near entirely fabricated of plastic only feels solid. We haven't experienced any quality issues.

Update 07/31/2018: A few readers are reporting a clicking sound consequence. From our investigation it seems to come from heat expansion of the back cover. We recollect that once the Telly is warm enough it should settle down.

Picture Quality

Samsung NU8000 Checkerboard Picture

Native Contrast 5,461 : one

Contrast with local dimming 5,458 : 1

Excellent native contrast ratio on the Samsung NU8000, approximately 15% improve than the MU8000. This high dissimilarity ratio allows the Television set to produce deep blackness scenes, especially when viewing in a dark room.

The local dimming feature has very footling bear upon on the contrast ratio. This is to be expected every bit the local dimming on this border-lit Tv set is not very effective at making blacks deeper.

Local Dimming Yes

Backlight Border

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

Decent HDR peak effulgence, slightly better than last year'south MU8000 but significantly dimmer than the X900F. It is able to produce cursory bright highlights especially in the 2% - 10% range. Vivid enough for almost all rooms.

Update 06/12/2018: Retested peak brightness on firmware update 1103, and past sending the signal with our Samsung K8500 Blu-ray player. The brightness is now significantly higher, by around 60 cd/m². The score has been updated.

Good gray uniformity. The uniformity issues appear mainly around the edges of the screen. Equally such, the Television receiver's dirty screen consequence is not problematic when watching sports or playing games.

Dark scene uniformity is very proficient. The edges appear slightly brighter than the centre but should not be noticeable.

Poor viewing angle. Colors and brightness shift if y'all are even slightly off center. The side seats of a iii seat couch will notice a pocket-size departure, merely people sitting further off eye than that will have degraded picture quality. If viewing angle is an issue, an IPS panel like in the X800E would be a better selection.

Std. Dev. west/ L.D. 0.679%

Black uniformity is very good on the NU8000. No clouding tin be seen with or without local dimming. Standard deviation is much meliorate than last year's MU8000, and this year's X900F, which results in uniform dark scenes without distracting areas.

Like the MU8000, it is incommunicable to completely disable local dimming on this Television receiver. Equally such, it is impossible to determine the true native blackness uniformity performance of this Television receiver. We ran our exam with the local dimming feature set to 'Low' (the lowest setting). The test for black uniformity with local dimming was taken with local dimming set to 'High'.

Good color accurateness out of the box, but follows our target of 6500K and two.two gamma much worse than last year's MU8000. White balance has too much reddish/green and gamma is besides high across the entire bend at two.42. The colour temperature is cold at 6032K giving colors more of a yellow tint.

Update 04/12/2019: This Television receiver was incorrectly measured with Brightness +2, instead of at 0. This only has a small impact on the results (slightly dimmer dark scenes below about thirty IRE) and then nosotros don't program to retest it.

Samsung NU8000 EOTF

Good color gamut on the Samsung NU8000, slightly improve than the MU8000. Colors in HDR will exist fairly authentic, although the Goggle box has difficulty displaying deep greens. Very like results to the Sony X900E.

The 'Flick' moving picture way'south HDR EOTF follows the target PQ curve very well, up until information technology rolls off into its max effulgence. 'Game' and 'PC' modes also have adequately accurate EOTFs. In 'PC' mode the 'Dynamic' moving-picture show mode has the best HDR EOTF, because 'Standard' mode has a bug where information technology sometimes gets stuck in a dim state. *Corrected, run into beneath.

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

Update 11/07/2018: The bug with the PC manner EOTF mentioned earlier was a error, it turns out the Idiot box's 'Eco' mode was left on in PC manner accidentally (the PC mode setting is independent of the normal i). The PC fashion EOTF has been remeasured in the 'Standard' movie manner, and isn't quite equally expert as the 'Film' style EOTF (darkens dim shades a little), only is nonetheless pretty good.

100% Response Time 12.8 ms

Very fast pixel response fourth dimension, adept enough for fast-moving content like sports and video games. Well-nigh of the mistiness in the photo is due to backlight flicker; the ghosting trail following the moving logo is adequately short, which is good.

Samsung NU8000 Backlight chart

Flicker-Costless 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 but is less severe at high effulgence. This flicker makes fast motion look a piddling more clear, only also introduces unwanted duplications, equally visible in the photo in the Response Time box.

Optional BFI Yes

Min Flicker for 60 fps 60 Hz

lx Hz for sixty fps Yes

120 Hz for 120 fps Yes

Min Flicker for 60 fps in Game Mode 60 Hz

The Samsung NU8000 has an optional 60 Hz flicker mode, activated past enabling 'LED Articulate Motion' in the 'Automobile Movement Plus' carte. This 60 Hz flicker greatly clears upwards motion during lx fps content, simply the flicker can be bothersome to some people. This flicker can too exist activated in Game mode, by using the 'Game Move Plus' menu, 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 betoken.

Samsung NU8000 Motion Interpolation (30 fps) Picture

Motion Interpolation (30 fps) Aye

Samsung NU8000 Motion Interpolation (60 fps) Picture

Motion Interpolation (60 fps) Yes

The Samsung 55NU8000 has a 120 Hz panel, and can interpolate lower frame rate content up to 120 fps. This makes motion much smoother, just can look foreign to some people (the then-called 'lather opera outcome'), and sometimes adds unwanted artifacts during fast motility. Interpolation is activated by setting 'Automobile Motion Plus' to 'Custom'; increase the 'Judder Reduction' slider to interpolate depression frame charge per unit content, and increase the 'Blur Reduction' slider to interpolate 60 fps content.

Game fashion now also has motion interpolation, 'Game Motion Plus', which doesn't expect every bit good as 'Auto Motion Plus' but adds much less input lag, every bit explained in the Input Lag box.

Frame Concord Time @ 24 fps 28.9 ms

Frame Hold Time @ 60 fps iii.9 ms

The Television receiver is decent at showing smooth motion in depression frame rate content similar movies, however, its fast response time tin can sometimes brand motion await stuttery, such as in wide panning shots, because each frame stays unchanged for 29 ms.

Judder-Gratuitous 24p Yes

Judder-Costless 24p via 60p Yes

Judder-Gratis 24p via 60i No

Judder-Free 24p via Native Apps Aye

The 55NU8000 tin can remove 24p moving picture judder from well-nigh sources, except 60i input such as cablevision boxes; this is a regression from last year's Samsung TVs, which could remove judder from all common sources. To activate judder removal, set 'Machine Move Plus' to 'Custom', 'Judder Reduction' to 0 and 'Blur Reduction' to 0; this will remove judder without adding lather opera effect.

The NU8000 does not support FreeSync from our Radeon RX 580 GPU. Nosotros tried various combinations of game way, PC fashion, input refresh rates, etc., and FreeSync was never detected as supported.

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

Update 06/08/2018: FreeSync has been tested and the score has been updated. FreeSync was supported from our Xbox One S and our Radeon RX 580 GPU, in 1080p, 1440p and 4k resolutions. FreeSync is activated by enabling the TV's Game mode and FreeSync settings; PC mode is not required. We tested in Ultimate mode considering it has the widest range, and we simply recommend Basic mode when yous experience bug with Ultimate.

Update 10/26/2018: We have received confirmation that the 49" NU8000 does support FreeSync. Since it has a 60 Hz panel, the 1080p VRR range is limited to 60 Hz.

Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) Aye

1440p @ 120 Hz: 9.7 ms

Excellent low input lag, adept enough for even competitive console gaming. This input lag is lower than last year'southward Samsung TVs like the MU8000, and lower than many electric current Sony TVs like the X900F, simply is slightly worse than many TCL TVs like the P607.

The NU8000 has a new 'Game Movement Plus' feature, which adds motility interpolation (lather opera effect) without adding likewise much input lag; this characteristic is useful when gaming on older consoles that can just output thirty fps, or for games that have frequent framerate dips. The 'Judder Reduction' slider interpolates content up to sixty fps, while the 'Blur Reduction' slider interpolates upwardly to 120 fps. When 'Blur Reduction' is used the input lag for 4k increases from 23.viii ms to 29.3 ms, but this increase shouldn't be noticeable during gaming.

Update 04/24/2018: The NU8000 and the Samsung 2018 QLEDs added support for Car Game Manner. When it is enabled from the input carte du jour the TV will automatically switch to Game Mode when it detects a game beingness played on a console. We tested information technology on a PS4 and Xbox One Southward and information technology 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 equally of firmware version 1103. The 1440p @ 120 Hz input lag is at present 9.seven ms, downwards from 24.viii ms.

1440p @ 60 Hz No

1440p @ 120 Hz Yes (native support)

4k @ 60 Hz Yes

4k @ sixty Hz @ 4:4:4 Yes

4k @ 120 Hz No

8k @ 30 Hz or 24 Hz No

8k @ lx Hz No

Well-nigh common resolutions are supported. 4k @ sixty Hz @ 4:4:4 or 4:2:ii color is only supported when 'HDMI UHD Color' is enabled (aka HDMI two.0 full bandwidth). New this year is 1080p @ 120 Hz @ four:4:4 support, which is useful when using the TV as a PC monitor. 1440p @ 120 Hz is besides supported, simply 4:4:4 color isn't displayed properly. Oddly enough, 1440p @ sixty Hz isn't supported, non even when using a custom resolution from a PC.

4:4:4 chroma subsampling is only shown properly when the input'southward icon is set to 'PC' (aka PC mode). This unfortunately isn't possible for some input refresh rates such every bit 24 Hz; in these cases the icon changes to PC as normal but PC mode isn't practical, as evidenced past the improper four:four:4 colour resolution and some settings non being greyed out every bit they should be.

Dynamic Range Compression 3.39 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 good and lower than what almost TVs are able to reach. This means that the Boob tube should be able to produce a decent amount of bass and dial. However, due to the lack of a self-calibrating system, information technology wasn't able to remove the room buildup effectually 200Hz. The response in the mid and treble ranges are quite even and apartment, ensuring a neutral sound reproduction. Additionally, the maximum loudness of the Tv set is in a higher place-average, but they may produce some pumping and compression artifacts nether maximum load.

Bixby's vocalism recognition works very well, and it can perform many useful actions on the TV: commands like 'Change to HDMI one', 'Gear up backlight to 25', 'What's the weather like tomorrow', and 'Pause video' all piece of work well. Samsung's smart remote tin also act equally a universal remote for other devices, even devices that don't support HDMI CEC, using Samsung's OneRemote feature.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

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

There is an NU8070 variant that is available in the European union only. It is available in 49", 55", and 65". We're non sure what differences at that place are exactly, but Samsung markets the NU8070 as having "Supreme UHD Dimming", whereas the NU8000 in the E.U. is advertised with "UHD Dimming". It is interesting to note that the NU8000 in the U.South. is marketed with "Supreme UHD Dimming".

Warehouse stores in the U.S., including Sam'due south Guild and Costco, carry the model code NU800D. Every bit far as we know, information technology is the exact same TV, but at that place may be some very minor cosmetic differences.

If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their Samsung NU8000 doesn't correspond to our review, let us know and we will update the review. Note that the gray uniformity does vary on a unit of measurement-by-unit of measurement basis.
