Samsung UE55MU8000

The Samsung KS7000 won the TrustedReviews award for TV of the Year in 2016.

Samsung proves that you don’t need to spend a fortune to appreciate 4K and HDR.

Samsung UN55MU7000 / UE55MU8000 review

A talented mid-ranger that stands out with HDR

Impressively bright HDR pictures ; Good smart TV system ; Attractive design ; Minimal input lag

Some black level issues ; Limited viewing angles ; MU7000s are better value ; No Dolby Vision support

The UE55MU7000 (known as the MU8000 in the UK) is more impactful with the sort of bright 4K, HDR images it was essentially made for than pretty much any rival in its price range. The push for brightness does compromise contrast and backlighting at...

Samsung UE55MU8000 review

There's a whole lot to like about this capable Samsung television

Vivid colours across the spectrum ; Natural skin tones ; Sophisticated handling of detail ; Easy-to-use smart hub

Restricted viewing angles ; Lacks dynamism in its sound

A TV ready to give you a fine 4K HDR image at a mid-range price

Samsung UE55MU8000 review

Can a mid-range TV scratch a flagship itch? The 4K HDR Samsung UE55MU8000 makes a pretty convincing argument that it can.

Sharp, detailed picture ; Vibrant, but believable colour palette ; Excellent smart TV offering ; Easy to navigate and set up

Viewing angles are tight ; Sound lacks dynamics

Thought mid-range meant middle-of-the-road? This excellent TV will make you think again

Samsung UE55MU8000 review

(Rating Hidden)

As one of Samsung's pricier 2017 TVs, the 55-inch UE55MU8000 comes with expectations as high as the price tag. You get a raft of the latest features, including Samsung's smart-TV platform and a 4K high dynamic range (HDR) screen. Did it impress in the...

Samsung MU8000 TV

The Samsung MU8000 is a capable 4k LED TV that offers good picture quality. Most content will do well on this TV, and it supports modern features such as HDR. Unfortunately, it can't display as many colors as other TVs in its class, and picture quality...

Great blacks and contrast ; Low input lag ; Good brightness

Mediocre color gamut ; Image degrades at an angle

Consumer review (ao.com)

Great product - reasonably priced

"The product is perfect. The 4K is faultless. Some people have complained about the sound however we have been really happy and the quality is in line with the audio. Connecting external devices is very straight forward. If I had to pick a downside...

Consumer review (very.co.uk)

Great picture.

I have had this for a couple of weeks now and I have no issues. I am really happy with it. The small remote can control everything at a basic level and there is another remote for fine tuning. The sound quality is very good also.
