[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a faithful Samsung customer especially with Televisions. The picture is amazing as is the sound quality. The remote takes some learning time but once done it becomes easy to use!! Buy one, you won’t regret it !

Not what expected
on August 5, 2026
Posted by: Marilee99
This particular model tv did not meet my expectation. The picture quality is poor, even with the dynamic settings. Nothing compared to the in that I had to replace. The picture is bright but not clear at all. Does not live up to "4k" quality. Very disappointed

Hi Marilee99,
Thank you for your feedback on the Samsung U8000H TV. If the picture appears unclear, dull, or lacks definition, there are several settings you can adjust to improve clarity and overall image quality. Go to: Settings > All Settings > Picture > Expert Settings, and review these key settings:
Picture Clarity Settings: While originally intended for motion handling, these can also impact overall clarity
• Off: Disables motion enhancements
• Auto: Automatically adjusts based on content
• Custom: Lets you fine-tune:
o Judder Reduction – Helps smooth out uneven motion
o LED Clear Motion – Boosts sharpness in fast-moving content
o Noise Reduction – Reduces distortion and enhances detail in lower-resolution sources
Core Picture Settings
• Brightness – Controls overall screen brightness
• Contrast – Enhances the difference between bright and dark areas
• Sharpness – Adjusts edge definition; closer to 20 increases detail
• Color – Enhances depth and intensity of colors
And don’t forget to check for the latest firmware, which may improve performance: Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now
These adjustments can make a noticeable difference in overall clarity. If you need further help tailoring the settings to your preferences or environment, please contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (8AM – 9PM EST Mon – Fri, 8AM – 6PM Sat – Sun). LiveChat is also available via the ‘Support’ link on our website.

Sound not good
on August 5, 2026
Posted by: Donna
The sound on my Samsung tv isn’t good. Normal tv watching is at 37. Netflix is 87. Other than that the price was great. The picture is nice. Setting the Tv up for senior citizens was easy.

Remote review
on August 5, 2026
Posted by: mickeyd
The TV is fine; however, the remote for people 80 yrs and older it is very difficult to navigate and understand how to get just your regular stations.... Very, very frustrating and I'm sure you hear this alot, but no one seems to be paying us any attention.

I have 5 of these TVs and they are the best!
on August 5, 2026
Posted by: sdcJim
from Pittsburgh PA
I have purchased 5 of these TVs in the last few months and they have never let me down. The brightness, contrast, responsiveness and upscaling are unmatched. Also the uniformity of each TV is awesome! Hands down the best TVs I have ever purchased and my go-to when recommended TVs to other people.
I would recommend this to a friend!
