Really useful review - thank you. Do you think the q60c is worth the price difference? I am looking for a solid budget 65 inch. For around 100 pounds more it is making me lean towards the cu8000
Hi I’ve just ordered the 50” and I will be plugging my Sky mini box into it which is in HD will be ok the picture and sound quality ?
What should be the normal temperature? If it gets too hot then because in this heating was there that's why
Hi! How did you find out that the TV has a VA panel? Just observing the viewing angles? Because I can't find this information anywhere official Samsung. Thanks!
I have a portable microsope that allows me to see how the panel crystals are aligned but yes the viewing angles aren’t great.
@@JCTechFinance Nice, I'm glad to hear that cuz I dont really like IPS. Thanks again.
Is it coming to south América soon? Thank you.
Samsung hasn’t announced an exact date for when it would bring the CU 8000 tvs to South America so I can’t give a date. Keep an eye out for it!
Ok, thank you, I will sleep on it.
wonder I should purchase it to replace my 32" TV , i noticed there's a new model 43" Crystal UHD CU8500
CU8500 is the same as CU8000 except with a pedestal stand instead of 2 legs. They will perform the same. If you want a bigger tv that is 4K you may want to consider getting it
Can you pull legs out once in to readjust or if later decide to place on wall? How? Don't want to snap any plastic... snaps.
Yes you can. The legs are screwless and can be easily attached and reattached
How is this TV when compared to Sony's 75L or 70L? I am confused between CU8000 and Sonly 75L. Please advise.
I can’t say as I’ve not reviewed the 75L or 70L. They are not available where I am. Sorry!
Go for Cu8000
Go for sony bcz its always better then samsung
Had my 8000 last week. Understandably not as good as my Samsung QLED i have as my main tv downstairs but a good tv for the price my only complaint is my Smart Controls voice control don’t work properly.
Try resetting the tv and setting up the voice controls from scratch
I will , thank you for the reply.
Which QLED do you have and how does it compare to the 8000?
Hi, Samsung CU8000 vs Sony 82L. What is your suggestion.
The Sony 82L has not been released in the US but from what I understand the Sony 82L has an IPS/ADS panel while I know the CU8000 has a VA panel. The VA panel displays better blacks than an IPS/ADS panel and has better contrast. If all other things are equal, I would choose the CU8000 but it depends on your own use case.
I'm looking for a fairly cheap tv do you know if I can record programmes to a usb stick with this
You can use hard drives to record over the air programming. However, Samsung doesn’t officially support using usb drives. Over the weekend I can check if it supports it unofficially.
Id be intrested in a video showing how to do this @@JCTechFinance
HI ! need help which one is better Samsung CU 8000 Vs LG UR9000?
Hi, I don’t have the LG UR9000 so I can’t compare. I can only say that the CU8000 is a good budget tv.
I bought this tv. they haven’t delivered it yet, what i expect is a good sharp picture and good sound. for the price will i get quality?
How much did you pay for it and what size?
how was it?
Can you get freeview channels on this? And is there an EPG guide?
Hi, I’m not based in the UK so I can’t answer this question unfortunately.
Does the cu8000 has a camera on it and if so how to turn it off
It does not have a camera on it.
I have the Samsung m8 monitor at home, will my monitor’s remote turn on the cu8000 if they’re are in the same area?
Yes, it will unfortunately, a work around is to use the Apple TV remote
@@JCTechFinance Apple TV remote works on Samsung tvs? Thank you for your reply!!
If you have an Apple TV connected you can use the Apple TV remote to turn on the Samsung tv when you turn on the Apple TV and you can control volume. That’s basically it but that’s all you really need.
@@JCTechFinance Thank you so much for your reply!!!! I just subscribed!
Thank you for subscribing! I hope to bring you other videos that you find value in. Happy holidays!
Am I the only one who feels that the sound quality is not very good? I previously had a Philips smart TV approximately 10 years old with significantly better sound in the same price range, the only reason I had to get a new one was that it could no longer turn on
In the audio settings there is an auto setting that helps a lot, there is also amplify. I used auto and it made the sound a lot better in my opinion.
yes sound quality of samsung cu8000 is poor
Hope you have a comparison with Sony X80L
It’s coming!
This is exactly what I’m looking for I’m buying one this week and i can’t pick only videos I can find are comparisons of older models 😭 please make this video fast!
Bro I have cu8000 but I am sure that Sony 80L is far far better then that tv
Does it have split screen/ multiviewer?
No
Would it be worth going to the Q60c?
The q60c looks a little better as it gets brighter. The tradeoff is it costs more!
@@JCTechFinanceis there any big changes in video quality or just normal plzzz tell me
bu8570 or cu8000 which is better?
I don’t have the bu8570 but my understanding is that there is no performance difference between the bu8570 series and the cu8000 series. The CU models have updated operating systems but the bu8570 series has different legs compared to the cu8000 series
@@JCTechFinance so which one should I pick because bu8570 is cheaper than cu8000 & once purchased we dont change tv for 8 to 10 years
U seems from westindies
Your voice like Micheal holding
Yes, I was born there.
Hi, are you from Croatia maybe?
Hi, no I am not. Does my accent sound Croatian?
@@JCTechFinance no, you not sound like croat, i change your voice with some other guy from croatia.
Last night i trie to find best picture settings for my CU8000 and not find much for this model why?
I understand that this is a budget smart tv. But the sound is lacking in bass or no bass at all, that reason alone makes me want to return this tv. I basically watch only UA-cam and Netflix. My suggestion is to buy the higher resolution tvs like Qled or Oled the ones wherein you can see the facial pores of the person in the screen or the pores of the bread. Unfortunately, there is no 43-inch quality Qled tv just the right size for my room. I would definitely upgrade to Qled. Right now the best thing I did was to go expert settings and adjust.
Most tvs don’t have great internal speakers. If anyone is looking for great sound, they should look into soundbars.
is it worth it to replace au9000?
It depends. I don’t think it is worth replacing unless the au9000 is broken.
Where’s the speakers 🔊 this tv
At the bottom
Price sir
Depends on where you live. In America, the 43 inch is 370 while the 85” is 1,200 or so.
@@JCTechFinance live in India (Mumbai)
Jesssss I have a tection pwease
It says it's 120hz but you said it's 60hz? What am i missing here
Where does it say 120 hertz? When I tested and looked at it, it was 60hertz in reality.
Only the 85" model is 120hz
A TV that doesn't allow to watch SDR/HD content with decent brightness should not be in the market in 2023. Shame on you Samsung.
Unless you have actually watched this TV you should not comment.
Taking a video like this one seriously is a huge mistake.
You always need to see a TVs Picture Quality in person before you can judge it yourself.
For the price of this TV you can not find a better TV.
Maybe you pay $4,000.00 for the High end TVs so this TV doesn't interest you.
Myself I like this TV a lot.
BU8000 or CU8000?
I haven’t reviewed the BU8000 and it isn’t available in my country so I can’t say!
any dirty screen effect
I got this TV being delivered directly from Samsung. $399 55 in 😎
Congrats! It’s a good tv!
This tv is a sham. I bought it and regret it in 30 minutes: poor sound, terrible set up and extremely inconvenient product 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
can i mount tv on the wall? 43 inch i mean
Yes you can!
Please never tell anyone to wait for Black Friday. Black Friday is over 7 months away. This TV is brand new it just came out.
One True statement is only the Garbage TVs go on Sale for Black Friday. This is not a Garbage TV. I just bought it.
This TV will not be sold on Black Friday. It is at such a low price right now that Retailer's would lose money 💰 on it.
It is worth the price.
There is not any other 43 inch 4K TV sold at this price that is better.
From what I gathered from this video, you typically review almost exclusively the highest end 📺 TVs.
You come off as very elitist. You have obvious disdain for this TV.
I have 5 TVs right now all bought around the same Time. I have the highest TCL model they make 75 inches.
And 3 Amazon Fire TVs 43 inch 4K the top of the line for Amazon.
A 1080p 32 inch top Amazon 32 inch model.
A 24 inch 720p Amazon TV.
The TCL picture Quality is Amazing. The downside is it is so Bright my eyes hurt and get tired of watching it after 1 movie.
The 43 inch is a huge downgrade in picture Quality. But the Picture is still a high quality picture. I enjoy watching TV Series on it.
The other two TVs. I use for Steaming UA-cam, and listen to steaming music videos on.
Each TV I have has between a good picture to an outstanding picture. All have Outstanding audio quality because my Bluetooth speakers are Outstanding.
This Samsung 43 inch 4K TV is a great TV that a person can watch for hours without hurting their eyes. It would be ideal for gamers that regularly play for 8 hours or more.
Maybe you should not have reviewed this TV because you do not understand the market for this TV.
Thank you for the feedback. I’m glad you are enjoying using the tv! The tv is definitely not a bad tv. It does have good picture but you are right I do tend to review more expensive tvs. I will try to review a few more cheaper tvs in the future.
I just bought this tv and it sucks. The cable screw in wont let you screw in xfinity cables without breaking the plastic piece off. The remote does suck. The tv is gigging out on shows here and there. Not very happy taking back to get a SONY X80
@@fishingmaster99 The cable screw is the standard cable screw. You obviously have no Clue what you are doing. I had zero trouble with it.
@@JesusSavesSinners no i actually do its to close to its backing and doesnt fit the newer plastic capped cable coax. So maybe your just a know it all
This tv is itself garbage
