[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I mostly use my television for movies and music, it pairs great with my Note 9 and the sound and picture quality are great. This is actually my first smart tv and I love the different features it has but there is another Samsung smart tv in my home that is an older model, I wish my tv had access to some of the same features and apps such as the AMC movie theatre app. I like being able to purchase on demand movies on the AMC website, pull up the app on the tv and watch purchased movies that are in my library. I'd also love the "view TV on phone" feature. It's nice to be able to watch on my phone, whatever is playing on the tv from another room. Overall, the tv is great and has no issues. There are plenty of other apps in the hub/store that I do use, it's nice having all the apps right there at my fingertips. Being able to pair different devices like my iPad and multiple phones is a definite plus, I love my Samsung tv.

Hi Steve!
Thank you for purchasing the AU8000 TV and for your review. Please know that you can choose what your TV does when you turn it on by going to Settings > General > Smart Features
1) When you set Autorun Smart Hub to on, the TV displays the Home Screen automatically when you turn the TV on. 2) If Autorun Last App is set to on, the last used app is automatically run when you turn on the TV. Please know that the Last App Used function may not work with all apps.
You can also remove the Samsung TV Plus channels from your channel guide with the following steps:
1) Navigate to the Samsung TV Plus app and press the down button on the remote. This will bring up two options. ‘Move’ and ‘Remove’. 2) Navigate to ‘Remove’ and select. This option brings up the ability to remove the app icon or disable the service. 3) Navigate to ‘Disable’ and select. This will remove the service from the launcher bar and the channels from the TV Guide.
Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for TVs), available 8AM -12AM EST M-F (9AM – 6PM EST Sat). Or text HELP to 62913.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is used for home watching in a room where we're only about 10 feet from the screen. The colors are nice; but the quick actions make me dizzy.

Picture quality
on March 4, 2022
Posted by: Toolman791
from Springport, Michigan
the picture quality was underwhelming compared to the lower end samsung this unit replaced. it makes an annoying clicking noise wben you turn it off. this clicking probably wouldn’t be all that bad if you weren’t trying to go to sleep. like nails on a chalkboard it will upset you and you will get up and unplug it every night.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Toolman791,
We appreciate you sharing your experience with the AU8000 TV. Your details regarding the image quality of your TV and clicking noise when powered off are important to us and will be shared with our internal teams. You may want to try adjusting image settings to improve your picture.
Your TV has several Picture Modes to choose from allowing you to enjoy content in optimal conditions. Go to Home > Settings > Picture > Picture Mode 1) Standard: Is the default mode suitable for general viewing environments. 2) Natural: Reduces eye strain for a comfortable viewing experience. 3) Movie: Is suitable for watching TV or movies in a dark room. 4) Dynamic: Makes the picture brighter and clearer in bright viewing environments. 5) Filmmaker Mode: You can watch the source content (e.g., movie) as it is. If the image is defined as Filmmaker Mode, it will automatically switch to Filmmaker Mode while watching.
You can also go to: Settings > Picture > Expert Settings and configure the TV settings to your taste with additional functions.
Please know, Samsung TVs use a combination of metal and plastic material. These materials are subject to expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. Occasional creaking, popping, or cracking may be heard. Additionally, certain components within the TV may cause these temporary noises once powered off. This does not indicate a product malfunction. The TV is safe to use.
Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for TVs), available 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.

Hi CKnow,
We appreciate you providing your feedback regarding a clicking noise while the TV is powered off. Please know, Samsung TVs use a combination of metal and plastic material. These materials are subject to expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. Occasional creaking, popping, or cracking may be heard. Additionally, certain components within the TV may cause these temporary noises once powered off. This does not indicate a product malfunction. The TV is safe to use.
With this in mind, here are a few quick tips on how to reduce the expansion that can cause these noises.
1) Ensure that there is adequate ventilation. Some enclosures may not allow for proper ventilation. This causes the internal temperature to increase and the plastic to expand even more than normal. For recommended ventilation requirements, please see your user manual. 2) Make sure there aren't any heating or air conditioning vents pointing directly at the TV. 3) Verify that the TV is on a flat and level surface. Tilting or an uneven stand can increase these noises.
Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for TVs), available 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.
