I just bought this tv, not delivered yet, but looking at the specs on different websites, i can not for the life of me find where it says that the panel is a 120 Hz native. I may be missing the info, as i am not a tech guy, but all i see in that sense is "standard refresh rate 50 Hz". Can you shed some light?
Thanks for this Vincent! Not seen any other video with the level of info on this model! Well done... especially the support legs of the tv! I didn’t know it had two slots for smaller tv stands.
when i want to see a review on something i want it to be every inch of the item that being said YOU SIR ARE AN AWESOME REVIEWER upon my purchase of tv i knew i needed a longer powercord to be ordered and delivered with the tv THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thank you very much Vincent, I was waiting for this video. I am searching since weeks for a decent 4K hdr tv mostly for gaming. But there are so so many different models and manufacturers, its so hard to find the right one for not too much money. But thanks to you I guess I found now the right one who fits the budget I actually want to spend for a tv and since this would replace my 22 inch discounter tv I am sure I will be very happy with the tv. I look forward to it :)
I'm in the same boat! I got a massive headache yesterday trying to soak up all the stuff i should know! I have 2 grand to spend for a 65"..Really like Oled but I'm scared of burn in cause i game most of the time
My father got this at a great price form Costco and it was too small for his space so I bought it from him. It's been a great set. About to test it out with the PS5.
Hi hdtvtest... can u make a review on the mu8000 curved version which is sold in Asia which i believe is known as mu8500 in US and UK? Also, how about the expert settings on the mu8000? Thank you..
In the 90s. I watched letter boxed laser Disc movies on a 20" Nec. crt from 10' away. My 2 year old 55" 4K looks great from 6'away. Set it up using just the WOW disc.
Thanks for comparing prices near the end, was really useful Vincent. Good price about time Samsung lowered their 4K prices. Feet are a great idea. Back cover pooping off weird! That is not normal I take it, Samsung need to sort that pronto.
I was in market for a new TV this year but none support 3D anymore so I didn't purchase. The fact that last years sets with 3D are going for more than this years ought to tell TV MFGRS something-there is still a market for 3D TVs. Especially at the high end. personally have over 50 3D discs and they made well over 500 so Vince please use your influence to sway TV Manufacturers to make 3D again even if on flagship models. It's a technology that some including myself won't buy a TV without at the high end. Your videos are the best BTW.
Vincent sorry too bug but what cable do you Use for your 4 k Apple box I’ve got the LG 4K OLED55B7V SMART ULTRA was impressed in your video off the tv I bought one keep the great work up your down too earth geezer JJ London
Fantastic videos on setting this particular TV up , I'm using an Xbox one X on this model which I use mainly for 4k hdr gaming and sometimes Netflix 4k viewing have you done/going to do or are you aware of any indepth videos covering the best viewing set up for this combination of device/TV.
Great review as always, Vincent! With respect to Sony TVs, I've noticed that in the last two weeks there have been some rather dramatic price drops at least here in Germany, and at least for the next higher tier models (XE90 and XE93.) From what I have observed, the drop is about 25% in some stores. (The XE93 55" was close to or actually even slightly more expensive than some 55" LG 2017 OLEDs, but not anymore.) I think the lower tier Sonys (XE85 and XE80 etc) and other brands might follow similar price drops at least here, making them better competing options for this Samsung. Still as you mention, they may not easily outperform it anyway, and the price of this Samsung might also go down before Xmas over time. So anyone with a budget for this TV might have a slightly hard time deciding which one to go for in the next few months I think
Which TV is better??? Between the: SAMSUNG UE55MU7000 VS LG 55SJ810V HELP PLEASE, I am confused as to which I should buy even after seeing this great review.
I was getting ready to buy a MU7000 at €765 and spotted a QE55Q6FAMT €999. The Q6F has little to no exposure online and with what I would call amateur reviews. As gaming is my priority which would you go for? Thanks for great info in your reviews.
Great unbiased review. Now I have a question. Why are there no reviews of lg sj 8500/9500 tvs? Are they really that bad? I am buying a new tv... waiting for black friday.. I am almost set on sony 65xe 900/930... I have an 11 years old, 42 inch lg lcd and it still works... So I am interested in lgs new models too... Tnx in advance..
Im thinking about buying this TV. I want to play ps4 pro and PC games on it. Games like the total war series and PUBG. Do you think this is a good choice? I was also thinking about the LG C7 but im not sure if its worth the extra money? Thanks for the input.
He mentioned the EX750 which is the single tuner version of the EX780. Its a lot more expensive and no better than the MU7000. This is at 55/58" though. 49" The MU7000 uses 60hz panel.
@Tim Sudall By the way, offhandedly mentioning a TV is not a review. I want to know about input lag, 3D, HDR, dimming, processing and much more. He DID NOT say it is "no better" apart from pricing.
HiFi Senpai I can tell you already that the ex750 is on par with the tv in this review in every respect. It isn't really any different from last year's dx750. No need to worry about input lag on 2017 models and HDR on anything worse on the Sony XE90 isn't worth calling "HDR". If you can't afford a capable HDR model, at 55"your best bets right now are the tv in this review or the Sony xe85. The ex Panasonic range are currently very overpriced. Ps I didn't mention he reviewed the tv. Just trying to help.
Hey there, I did end up buying the MU7000 on sale due to your advice. It is a pretty great TV in general. However, I have been finding that the screen occasionally seem to switch off (i.e. goes completely black) for a few seconds every now and then. Is this a common problem with Samsung TVs? Should I consider calling Samsung and/or the retailer about this? Any answer would be genuinely appreciated as I bought this TV based partly on your review. Thanks for your detailed reviews by the way!
Hi mate my mu7070 does it occasionally but only when gaming on a ps4 pro and only on certain games. As far as i can see its an issue with the ps4 not my tv, is yours doing it when gaming or watching tv?
Hi Vincent, I enjoyed watch your HDTV Test Reviews, I hope you could advice me which TV is better among the 3 models mention here, Samsung Mu6100, Sony X7000Eand the LG uj UJ632T and among theses 3 models which one is the best TV ?in terms of picture quality and its features ?
Thank you for the video. I have this tv and love it. One question how did you get the display notification up top to show up? I cant figure out how to get that to show. I have the 65 MU8500 U.S. model. Any tip on how to get that notification to show up would be great. Thanks
Is this MU7000 really a valid mid-tier choice ? Or should I choose between either a Q7F (in case I don´t care about money) or a budget MU6100 (in case I don´t WANT to spend much) ? I can see why someone would pay (much) more for a Q7F over a value-oriented MU6100. But the MU7000 makes me feel lost and confused. How much more should a MU7000 cost over the MU6100 to make it a reasonable choice ?
I was thinking the same like u, I just bought 55MU7070 which is a small upgrade to MU 7000. The think is u need to set up a price in your mind, say 600 EUR and only look below that price. As in NL the 6100 is around 650 EUR , then u say the difference to 7000 is only 200 eur , but then the difference from 7000 to 8000 is only 200 EUR :) and so on and on with other model or other tv. In the end you'll buy a much more expensive tv than u need. If u want my totally non expert opinion. MU6100 has 50hz while MU7000 has 100Hz - I'd pay for that... I actually did , yesterday :))))
H @HDTVTest I very like your reviews ..Can you pls suggest me a samsung TV under 1300 euro (1150 pounds) .. I was in local shops and I like samsung blacks and colors.. SO question is - What 55" samsung tv should I buy right now under 1150 pounds? KS7500 vs MU7000 is a big diference ?
Hi just purchased a mu9000 trying to follow your setup , do you need to turn on HDR mode or does the TV turn onto HDR when watching HDR broadcasts ie Netflix or you tube thanks
+HDTVTest for cost reasons, I am on the fence between the Samsung MU8000 55" and LG HU7700 55". Which would you say gives off better picture quality? I am using the set for watching TV and movies, I do not game, I like the live action effect of motion interpolation. Thank you!
There is now also the MU7070 . It is slightly more expensive. The spec says its slightly brighter. What do you think is it worth paying more for the newer version?
I did, it has a slightly higher PQI (2400), so slightly better image. It matters also how much is the price difference where u live. But make sure u look for 100Hz instead of 50Hz. The 49 inch has 50Hz- that makes a big difference
Hello Vincent, Im confused with picture quality is bettrer (Qled or Oled? ) can you please help me which TV 65 inches i should buy? My main aim is to have the best picture in quality.
I got the UE55MU7000TXXU for £699 last week, a friend of mine has a Panasonic 58EX750B that he got for £999... Neither of us can say the Panasonic is worth the extra £300. For the same price of the Panasonic at £999 you can have: - Samsung UE55MU7000TXXU for £699 - Yamaha SRT700 soundbase for £150 - Besta TV bench from ikea for £150 Its the best bang for buck TV out there... Of course if you want the best HDR experience its not going to compete, but it doesn't have to its less than half the price of the LG B7 and I have seen the B7 the image is not worth twice the price.
Great review. Thank you. At the time of writing there is a chance to buy sony xe8596 for ~£150 lower price (with cashback or bundled bluray player for free) so I'm really confused which one I should buy now :) Samsung for HDR with better brightness or sony for I believe better picture performance on other fields (motion, blacks). There is also HDR+ in mu7000 but without testing it its hard to say if its worth to use it daily as some people write - its oversaturating colors or we need to compromise bright good looking scenes with black - not so much. HDR10+ is only with mu7000 but big chance sony will get upgrade to it as its open source. HDR itself is awesome feature but as Vincent mentioned even mu7000 being better than sony doesn't deliver hi level experience if compare to more expensive ones. There is also not much content yet. Seems like buying xe8596 for ~£650 and changing it after 5 years will be best solution. Best would be to go for xe90/93 but it's not wife-price acceptable :)
great review thank you. I see that you have also reviewed the Sony xe93 this and the Sony xe 93 are on my shortlist which one would your recommend out of the two ?
thank you. quick follow up question as the led's are on the top and bottom of the Sony xe93 ( edge lit) would there be a drop in quality if i went for a 65 instead of a 55 inch due to the larger screen and if so would you therefore recommend tthe55 over the 65???
no idea what you mean by blackish in the edges. ive now got the 65 inch Sony xe9305 and the picture quality is excellent. its upscaling ability and bright levels are extremely god too No complaints from me I'm very happy with it I tested some HDR sample videos using a usb stick the TV recognises that's its HDR and automatically configures the best settings for that content and the picture is jaw droopingly good.
This review is very useful in my research for new TV, thanks a lot for it. I narrowed my search to 3 models: MU7000, MU8000 and KS8000 (EU version labels). Other sources (mostly rtings.com ), claim that KS8000 is far better than first two and MU8000 is a little superior to MU7000. Should I consider KS8000 even though it has one year of non-usage on the shelf? I have the possibility to purchase either of them for comparable price with MU7000 being the cheapest. Which one should it be?
There's a 'Best Buy' store here in Michigan USA -- that's selling a 49" KS8000 SUHD -- for $1,139.99 / €964.36 / £855.89 ! For a 49/50"er it'd be hard to find anything better. Wish I could afford it the outlandish price :(
Hi Vincent, did u know about Samsung ARC port automatically turning on Tv middle of night. Apparently on 2016 + models. You have to switch off Anynet+ but that then means you can’t use tv remote to control soundbar. I’ve tested SONY Soundbar. Samsung don’t have an answer or a fix.
Dear Vincent, In store we also use a motion video in store (Amsterdam) and have seen that sometimes the TV does not play it correctly. It looks that it sometimes can not play 60 hertz. It hold its picture on the same place. It's looks better than 50 hertz pannel. But not as good as a good 100 hertz pannel. Could you explain how this could be? Also Samsung uses a 50 hertz pannel in the 49 inch version. For its price point we compared this model with the Samsung mu8000 and the Sony xe85. Both of this tv's plays motion very well. (price in the Netherlands Samsung 55mu7000 EUR 1300 (with cashback) I look forward to your reply. Kind regards, Ruben van Tatenhove
Thank-you for your review Vincent. This is a great t.v. picture wise. It really comes into it's own on an evening when there are no reflections. It's a truly outstanding picture! However I have very grave concerns for other attributes. Documentation is sparse. Samsung software is truly awful in quality and layout. Setup screens hung on several occasions. Very inconsistent UI layout. Main remote control is just plainly rubbish, it's extremely badly laid out with no tactile feel whatsoever and the buttons are just far too small. The Smart remote control is better but they clearly need a mix of both to make it work. Worse still, the TV Turns itself on randomly when using HDMI Arc to Sondbar (have reset tv, soundbar, , reset onebox, replaced hdmi cable, updated to latest firmware and made many different config changes). Now/Next on Satellite doesn't work with regular empty EPG lists. This is from a sat cable which worked fine with my previous sat boxes. Switching to freesat/terrestrial is way harder+longer than it should be. Takes quite a few button presses. Understand DAY/NIGHT mode is not available without proper engineer calibration but it's badly, badly needed. I really do not expect these kind of problems with a brand new TV and they truly detract from the wonderful picture. I firmly believe Samsung software is a work in progress. UPDATE 130618: Samsung saying tv turning on automatically could be due to terrestrial channel list updated which can be turned off. Also after the firmware update on 12/06/18 I now have signal strength as well as quality and will be keeping an eye on this in relation to the now+next info not appearing.
I just ordered one of these but I've seen on a few other sites that the MU7000 has only one large stand in the middle, not two on the sides. Are there different versions of this TV or does it actually come with both types of stands?
So the difference between the ue65mu7000 and the mu8000 is the design? Because they look different, the frame is of a different color, the stand is different, even the back are different the mu8000 on the top is thinner form the bottom. strange, since there are stores that sell both, And at a different price.
Seems hard to find a review of a UK MU8000. The one with the centre stand. Well seen one today, but not impressed by the shop sky+ signal, everyones face looks like it was melting wax work. Also considering a MU7000 Premium UHD, so would that be better than a standard MU8000? Seems like there are two models of MU7000 out there.
Hi i have purchase my 55uemu8000 tv and i will know if when i watch hdr content i must put gamma color in dci p3 or bt.2020 Because in mu6100 only in dci p3 the color was saturated..
" so with out the quotom dot. Would it be beneficial to pick up last year's TOP mondel KS9000 or KS8000 . ? How does it match up against the newer models.
is it possible to install magicInfo on this kind of TV and put it in a restaurant? I want to advertise my menu and dishes during programs while the patrons are watching.
Yes it's the same number in the UK. Not much difference between that and this tv. Have a compare of the same tv's on rtings.com mu8000 there is m7000 here whilst mu9000 there is mu8000 here. Stupid I know.
Hi, can you help me please? I need to know the model of the One Conect because someone give me out rhis tv but the one conect is missing and I am not able to find the model
I have the 75 inch version 7000txxu, has developed vertical ghostly lines every 100mm across the screen. Still waiting for Samsung to get back to me. Anyone have any ideas what's going wrong.

Thanks for this Vincent! Not seen any other video with the level of info on this model! Well done... especially the support legs of the tv! I didn’t know it had two slots for smaller tv stands.
Wow best in-depth review on a panel I’ve watched so far. Will be following this channel
when i want to see a review on something i want it to be every inch of the item that being said YOU SIR ARE AN AWESOME REVIEWER upon my purchase of tv i knew i needed a longer powercord to be ordered and delivered with the tv THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
did you know the tv does not expect 120hz signal even as he sayays its native 120hz display
The best TV review I have ever seen. Thanks.
Keep up the good work, you have sold me on this tv as I cannot afford the qled.
Great Vid. I brought this TV based on your review and I love it. Great job on the detailed review. Cheers mate.
Thank you very much Vincent, I was waiting for this video. I am searching since weeks for a decent 4K hdr tv mostly for gaming. But there are so so many different models and manufacturers, its so hard to find the right one for not too much money. But thanks to you I guess I found now the right one who fits the budget I actually want to spend for a tv and since this would replace my 22 inch discounter tv I am sure I will be very happy with the tv. I look forward to it :)
if you can get hold of one of last year's KS7000s, they are better as they have quantum dots :)
Well not really common to find where I live but its also more expensive. I rather want a cheap and good 4k hdr tv :)
I'm in the same boat! I got a massive headache yesterday trying to soak up all the stuff i should know! I have 2 grand to spend for a 65"..Really like Oled but I'm scared of burn in cause i game most of the time
Oled is nice but I think you wont find an Oled for 2k with a 65inch panel. I only know the LG B7D with 55 inch for under 2k :o
If you are looking for a gaming 4k hdr tv and dont want to spend too much check this video out.

This is one of the greatest reviews I've ever seen. Thanks man.
I have this television. I love it; it's a great set!

How is it on your ps5
Loved the review! Very technical and to the point. Thank you!
Hi I really liked your video. Can you please give me the best TV settings for this TV?
This television has beautiful picture quality right out of the box. Only the most hardcore will need to get it calibrated.
Got this tv myself and have to agree with you, didn't find a better tv in this price point!
Thank you for a great review, subbed
Hi hdtvtest... can u make a review on the mu8000 curved version which is sold in Asia which i believe is known as mu8500 in US and UK? Also, how about the expert settings on the mu8000? Thank you..

Very nice tv samsung Mu 7000 quality of picture for the price really good now 2 year completed

Joolz1982 It's about Sony and Panasonic did, Samsung have always been good value.
Great review. Am I correct in guessing that the MU7070 would be slightly better?
@HDTVTest How do you compare Samsung MU7000 vs LG UJ752V?
I was in market for a new TV this year but none support 3D anymore so I didn't purchase.

Which TV is better???
Between the: SAMSUNG UE55MU7000 VS LG 55SJ810V
HELP PLEASE, I am confused as to which I should buy even after seeing this great review.
Well done and informative!
I was getting ready to buy a MU7000 at €765 and spotted a QE55Q6FAMT €999. The Q6F has little to no exposure online and with what I would call amateur reviews. As gaming is my priority which would you go for?
Thanks for great info in your reviews.
Great unbiased review. Now I have a question. Why are there no reviews of lg sj 8500/9500 tvs? Are they really that bad? I am buying a new tv... waiting for black friday.. I am almost set on sony 65xe 900/930... I have an 11 years old, 42 inch lg lcd and it still works... So I am interested in lgs new models too... Tnx in advance..
Andrej Krušič The Sony XE930 is a fantastic TV, especially when it comes to HDR.
Is the Samsung MU7050 81inch the same as this? Or what is that 50 @ the end mean? You got a nice channel, congrats
Im thinking about buying this TV. I want to play ps4 pro and PC games on it. Games like the total war series and PUBG. Do you think this is a good choice? I was also thinking about the LG C7 but im not sure if its worth the extra money? Thanks for the input.
Excellent review. Found to buy one for 700 with 5 year warranty- bargain!!
Please review the Ex-780 series Panasonic, Vincent. Best reviewer around. :)
He mentioned the EX750 which is the single tuner version of the EX780. Its a lot more expensive and no better than the MU7000. This is at 55/58" though. 49" The MU7000 uses 60hz panel.

Hi Vincent, I enjoyed watch your HDTV Test Reviews, I hope you could advice me which TV is better among the 3 models mention here, Samsung Mu6100, Sony X7000Eand the LG uj UJ632T and among theses 3 models which one is the best TV ?in terms of picture quality and its features ?
Hi! thanks for the review. does this tv has two dvb_c tuners? can i watch tv while recording another program?
Thank you for the video. I have this tv and love it. One question how did you get the display notification up top to show up? I cant figure out how to get that to show. I have the 65 MU8500 U.S. model. Any tip on how to get that notification to show up would be great. Thanks
Tnx for the detailed review.
So the Europe version of MU8000 is the MU9000 in USA? I really need to know for calibration purposes. Thank you!
Is this MU7000 really a valid mid-tier choice ? Or should I choose between either a Q7F (in case I don´t care about money) or a budget MU6100 (in case I don´t WANT to spend much) ?

Well done good price now 55 inch mu7000 £799 ordered one now
got it I do not like the picture sending it back for a refund , my LG 7700 55 inch looked a lot better on the picture on hd..
I wish I can afford the best TV with all the features you mentioned. Now I hate my MU8000 TV after I listened to you.....
I have learned so much from watching these videos. And I still am a dumbass when it comes to TVs.
Can you do a review of the 2018 Vizio P65-F1? I am undecided between this TV and the Samsung MU8000.
Hi just purchased a mu9000 trying to follow your setup , do you need to turn on HDR mode or does the TV turn onto HDR when watching HDR broadcasts ie Netflix or you tube thanks
Quick one: between the Samsung 55 inch MU7000 and Sony's 65 inch X7000E -- which is a better buy? ( The Sony is priced RM400 more)
+HDTVTest for cost reasons, I am on the fence between the Samsung MU8000 55" and LG HU7700 55". Which would you say gives off better picture quality? I am using the set for watching TV and movies, I do not game, I like the live action effect of motion interpolation. Thank you!
There is now also the MU7070 . It is slightly more expensive. The spec says its slightly brighter. What do you think is it worth paying more for the newer version?
I did, it has a slightly higher PQI (2400), so slightly better image. It matters also how much is the price difference where u live. But make sure u look for 100Hz instead of 50Hz. The 49 inch has 50Hz- that makes a big difference
Vincent any idea if you going to review any of the panasonic Ex series like the TX-Ex750/780?
I have the 49” version and it’s awesome there is a deal going about you get a 4K Samsung DVD player with the TVs in the uk
Cricky and Ashley gaming show Game on how is the motion for movies and sports?
Hello Vincent, Im confused with picture quality is bettrer (Qled or Oled? ) can you please help me which TV 65 inches i should buy? My main aim is to have the best picture in quality.
Walid Abdallah QLED is crap. It is pure marketing. Oled all the way my friend.
May I ask your native language Vincent?
I got the UE55MU7000TXXU for £699 last week, a friend of mine has a Panasonic 58EX750B that he got for £999... Neither of us can say the Panasonic is worth the extra £300. For the same price of the Panasonic at £999 you can have:
- Samsung UE55MU7000TXXU for £699
- Yamaha SRT700 soundbase for £150
- Besta TV bench from ikea for £150
Its the best bang for buck TV out there... Of course if you want the best HDR experience its not going to compete, but it doesn't have to its less than half the price of the LG B7 and I have seen the B7 the image is not worth twice the price.
I liked a lot the one with the bench of IKEA=)))) you could also got 20 burgers for the 150 pound difference=)))
Great review. Thank you. At the time of writing there is a chance to buy sony xe8596 for ~£150 lower price (with cashback or bundled bluray player for free) so I'm really confused which one I should buy now :) Samsung for HDR with better brightness or sony for I believe better picture performance on other fields (motion, blacks). There is also HDR+ in mu7000 but without testing it its hard to say if its worth to use it daily as some people write - its oversaturating colors or we need to compromise bright good looking scenes with black - not so much. HDR10+ is only with mu7000 but big chance sony will get upgrade to it as its open source. HDR itself is awesome feature but as Vincent mentioned even mu7000 being better than sony doesn't deliver hi level experience if compare to more expensive ones. There is also not much content yet. Seems like buying xe8596 for ~£650 and changing it after 5 years will be best solution. Best would be to go for xe90/93 but it's not wife-price acceptable :)
Ja jednak wybieram Samsunga, xe90 jest za drogi a xe85 ma IPS-a i w 65 calach też droższy od Samsunga. Pozdrawiam
great review thank you. I see that you have also reviewed the Sony xe93 this and the Sony xe 93 are on my shortlist which one would your recommend out of the two ?
Sony XE93.
thank you. quick follow up question as the led's are on the top and bottom of the Sony xe93 ( edge lit) would there be a drop in quality if i went for a 65 instead of a 55 inch due to the larger screen and if so would you therefore recommend tthe55 over the 65???
Don't get the sony,the TVs have a lot of blackish in the edges of the Tv,trust me I know what I'm talking about.
no idea what you mean by blackish in the edges. ive now got the 65 inch Sony xe9305 and the picture quality is excellent. its upscaling ability and bright levels are extremely god too No complaints from me I'm very happy with it I tested some HDR sample videos using a usb stick the TV recognises that's its HDR and automatically configures the best settings for that content and the picture is jaw droopingly good.
R Pate you must be blind,they even come out in this video ,don't you see the blacknesss on the 4 corners?yea I'll jut wait until sony fixes that prob.
This review is very useful in my research for new TV, thanks a lot for it.
I narrowed my search to 3 models: MU7000, MU8000 and KS8000 (EU version labels). Other sources (mostly rtings.com ), claim that KS8000 is far better than first two and MU8000 is a little superior to MU7000. Should I consider KS8000 even though it has one year of non-usage on the shelf?
I have the possibility to purchase either of them for comparable price with MU7000 being the cheapest. Which one should it be?
Do you even get KS8000 now? I tried many websites and I don't find it. I am in the US.
I'm talking EU versions. KS8000 in EU is KS9000 in US, I believe. I can find KS9000 on amazon US.
I’ve got this exact model and trust me you will not be disappointed
The MU7000
There's a 'Best Buy' store here in Michigan USA -- that's selling a 49" KS8000 SUHD -- for $1,139.99 / €964.36 / £855.89 ! For a 49/50"er it'd be hard to find anything better. Wish I could afford it the outlandish price :(
Hi Vincent, did u know about Samsung ARC port automatically turning on Tv middle of night. Apparently on 2016 + models. You have to switch off Anynet+ but that then means you can’t use tv remote to control soundbar. I’ve tested SONY Soundbar. Samsung don’t have an answer or a fix.
Dear Vincent,
In store we also use a motion video in store (Amsterdam) and have seen that sometimes the TV does not play it correctly. It looks that it sometimes can not play 60 hertz. It hold its picture on the same place. It's looks better than 50 hertz pannel. But not as good as a good 100 hertz pannel. Could you explain how this could be?
Also Samsung uses a 50 hertz pannel in the 49 inch version.
For its price point we compared this model with the Samsung mu8000 and the Sony xe85. Both of this tv's plays motion very well. (price in the Netherlands Samsung 55mu7000 EUR 1300 (with cashback)
I look forward to your reply.
Kind regards,
Ruben van Tatenhove
Does this TV have any colour trailing/smudging during shadows or dark scenes?
Thank-you for your review Vincent. This is a great t.v. picture wise. It really comes into it's own on an evening when there are no reflections. It's a truly outstanding picture! However I have very grave concerns for other attributes. Documentation is sparse. Samsung software is truly awful in quality and layout. Setup screens hung on several occasions. Very inconsistent UI layout. Main remote control is just plainly rubbish, it's extremely badly laid out with no tactile feel whatsoever and the buttons are just far too small. The Smart remote control is better but they clearly need a mix of both to make it work. Worse still, the TV Turns itself on randomly when using HDMI Arc to Sondbar (have reset tv, soundbar, , reset onebox, replaced hdmi cable, updated to latest firmware and made many different config changes). Now/Next on Satellite doesn't work with regular empty EPG lists. This is from a sat cable which worked fine with my previous sat boxes. Switching to freesat/terrestrial is way harder+longer than it should be. Takes quite a few button presses. Understand DAY/NIGHT mode is not available without proper engineer calibration but it's badly, badly needed. I really do not expect these kind of problems with a brand new TV and they truly detract from the wonderful picture. I firmly believe Samsung software is a work in progress. UPDATE 130618: Samsung saying tv turning on automatically could be due to terrestrial channel list updated which can be turned off. Also after the firmware update on 12/06/18 I now have signal strength as well as quality and will be keeping an eye on this in relation to the now+next info not appearing.
I just ordered one of these but I've seen on a few other sites that the MU7000 has only one large stand in the middle, not two on the sides. Are there different versions of this TV or does it actually come with both types of stands?
in Europe it is MU7000 in Us It's MU8000, US MU7000 it's in Europe MU6000 series check it out here: www.displayspecifications.com/en/brand/08cd6
What do u think about the 49inch version
Samsung mu7000 50 inches is 8 bit panel. My question is can it play HDR 10 4k movies smoothly or not?
I would think the Sony 900E would be it's main competition It's only $100.00 more and also has a native 120hz refresh rate.
which one is better?
MrWalker1000 The Sony 900E is better in my opinion.
Lutalo Moore in what ways
MrWalker1000 Better image processing and better back lighting. The Sony has full-array local-dimming.
Lutalo Moore doesn't the Samsung have one too
So the difference between the ue65mu7000 and the mu8000 is the design? Because they look different, the frame is of a different color, the stand is different, even the back are different the mu8000 on the top is thinner form the bottom. strange, since there are stores that sell both, And at a different price.
Mu7000 EU and Q6F are about £100 difference now. Anybody know which is better?? Any reply much appreciated 😀
Would someone please suggest should I go for MU7000 or Sony X800E?
What is the difference between this model and the mu6300 model?
Vincent rules.
I got this TV new at best buy for $474.99 mu8000....I'm in America...What a steal
its like half of EU price,
Seems hard to find a review of a UK MU8000. The one with the centre stand.
Well seen one today, but not impressed by the shop sky+ signal, everyones face looks like it was melting wax work. Also considering a MU7000 Premium UHD, so would that be better than a standard MU8000? Seems like there are two models of MU7000 out there.
Well bought the 7000 so will see how it goes, liked the Sony but £500 more, also the qleds, but you have to stick to a budget sometimes.
Can anyone tell me exact differences between this model (MU7000) versus the MU7070 model...other than the darker bezel on the MU7070...???
sony x900 it good than Samsung ? thanks
Hi i have purchase my 55uemu8000 tv and i will know if when i watch hdr content i must put gamma color in dci p3 or bt.2020
Because in mu6100 only in dci p3 the color was saturated..
i bought form 2018 but after 24 months screen is coming lines...bad experience
Damn that's scary
Same i got horizontal line on the top of screen.... Only noticeable when white.
How does the 82" UK version stack up ? looking to get something around that size for my cinema room
Its actually better than the smaller sized variants as it gets brighter with HDR.
Can the 55" TCL p series compare with it? It's $599
Just purchased this TV for £699 i hope it’s nice!
Good video thanks. Getting mine saturday and wondering if anyone has good picture custom settings for this they would like to share please?
what is the standard refresh rate of 65mu8000 ?
can you do samsung mu6500 calibration settings,their are non on youtube
" so with out the quotom dot. Would it be beneficial to pick up last year's TOP mondel KS9000 or KS8000 . ? How does it match up against the newer models.
Last year's KS8000/ KS9000 is better.
is it possible to install magicInfo on this kind of TV and put it in a restaurant? I want to advertise my menu and dishes during programs while the patrons are watching.
Does the sides also separate, or just the top part?
There is also a MU8000 in Europe. Is that another TV?
Is the MU8000 that is available in mainland Europe sold under the same name in the UK? And are there any reviews available for that model?
Yes it's the same number in the UK. Not much difference between that and this tv. Have a compare of the same tv's on rtings.com mu8000 there is m7000 here whilst mu9000 there is mu8000 here. Stupid I know.
it's supposed to be a 120hz panel so why can't i get 120hz when i connect it to a PC?
Hi, can you help me please?
I need to know the model of the One Conect because someone give me out rhis tv but the one conect is missing and I am not able to find the model
Does this tv has the same back panel seperation issue that plauged the KS8000 series?
I have the 75 inch version 7000txxu, has developed vertical ghostly lines every 100mm across the screen. Still waiting for Samsung to get back to me. Anyone have any ideas what's going wrong.
