Thanks for the great review, I have bought this tv 55" two weeks ago. I will apply the settings you provided later today. I found following few things: - When the tv searches for firmware update, it does not find any. However, I could download the update from the website and apply it using a usb stick. - In the sides (right & left) and bottom, the first 2/3 mm of the screens is slightly darker when a light image/video is displayed. This is not annoying but I noticed it, because it is not there on the top side. I think I also saw it during your review. - For football the picture not as clear as movies and other programs, especially the picture around moving players. Nevertheless, I am very happy with it because it has nice picture and many nice features for a reasonable price.
Just bought this TU8500, was unsure if I would be happy with it as previously been using a Panasonic plasma from 2011 which is now in the bedroom. Was quite surprised how good it is, quite like the natural picture mode, still tweaking the settings though but this is an excellent TV for the money! Any downsides are outweighed by the good! Viewing angles not an issue for me as I always view head on. Would have liked an extra hdmi and analogue audio output but not too bothered. Quite like the sound quality on amplify mode, it's a massive improvement on the Panasonic was has very poor sound, really thin and harsh, the Samsung performed really well in dark scenes so far I was surprised, I think my old plasma has deteriorated as some dark scenes now don't look so good. Very happy with the Samsung, highly recommended if you don't want to spend any more than £550? Not sure you need to? As may upgrade in a few years anyway?
Purchased tu8500 65 inch model 2 months ago, and was disappointed to see a white spot on the screen after few days of use. Now sent the tv to the retailer for service, dunno what they are gonna do. However , the d5000 32 inch model, now older than 10 years, still works very well. Anyway , thank you for the review
@@stevenshadrach3182 of course yes, do you know them ? However they provided me with a one to one replacement as i did not agree for a refund. In that sense, i appreciate their understanding and freindly customer care service. On a personal note, i ask you to go for AU series although the price is higher than TU series. The D series tv mentioned in my comment was purchased from Singer many years ago. Good luck !
@@RuwanKarunanayake Hi Ruwan, thanks for the response. I bought one from them like two days ago the 65tu8500. Only thing I’m not too satisfied with at the moment is the lack of black levels and some colors seem a bit off.. need to tweak it and calibrate it properly. The reason I went with this is because it’s a midrange tv.Also according to the specifications the tu8500 is actually slightly better than the au8000 at least the contrast ratio with the it’s dual led backlight and slightly better color space. But yeah need to calibrate this professionally to make it look the best it can. How is your tv now? Any thoughts overall? Thanks.
@@stevenshadrach3182 yes , au series is costlier than tu. I dint experiment much about color combinations as yet, but happy with the performance given the reasonable price tag. The same model is well abvove 6 lakh at softlogic. For any technical assistance, contact Mr. Hazni at electrodeals repair center ( opposite the galle road) , a freindly technician cum gentleman who is always willing to help. Good luck with your new mode of enjoyment 😉
@@RuwanKarunanayake Hi Ruwan thanks for the response and info.Hopefully this TV will stay with me for sometime but I agree with you given the situation and the price it’s a decent option..All the best!
Great review. How this compares to ru8000, especially with motion handling? Motion handling is the most important thing for me. I would like a smooth experience in 24p movies, 60 fps and 120fps movies from youtube, smooth pano shots, variable refresh rate for gaming etc. Is it good or better than any of the ru8000? Thank you!
I have TU8502 43". The edge light bleed is borderline "RMA" bad. I don't recommend this television, if you mainly use it in dark environments. The image itself is otherwise good, bright enough, and the colors are good. Also, GUI and usability are OK. But due to many people complaining about horrible light bleeding, I would not buy an edge lit Samsung TV again.
Why is it that on here, this TV is listed as "55TU8500", but on the website of BJ's Wholesale Club, it's listed as "55TU850"? You'd think with all this technology we could get the number of zeroes straight.
Thank you for the review. Does this tv have PIP feature ? ( PIP (Picture in picture) is a function that allows you to watch two programmes simultaneously. This means you can watch a TV channel and a picture received from another external video source (e.g. DVD, Set-top box, PC) at the same time. One source will be displayed on the full television screen and the other will be displayed in a small inset window.)
Great review man, I really love how you mentioned all the details we need to know Can you please make a TU8300 Curved Crystal Samsung review ? I really want to know which better, TU8300 or TU8500
they have same picture processor, color and contrast, it all depends how close you will sit, bigger curved screens offer better experience, but only if you sit in the center. tu85 is more usable for wide room viewing.
Thanks for taking the time to do a review. Can you use Apple airplay on this device to screen mirror for an iPhone or iPad or MacBook without having to purchase an extra Apple TV device? Hoping to use as a conferencing tv.
ru80 from 2019 is still higher tier tv, especially in terms of native refresh rate, same goes for the latest au8000 series, but on other side motion processing is faster and sharper on the latest tu and au series.
@@TechWatcher I see, but isn't the refresh rate 100/120 for the TU and overall pqi 2800 which on paper seem better than the RU's 50/60 and 2500pqi. Isn't the TU sort of continues the RU series?
@@moshikobensimon5383 well in some ways it is better, samsung has change power values in the standard led 8 series in last years a lot in the favor of qled 6 and 7 series.
both tvs are the latest 2020 version, samsung has better colors, lg has more brightness but in dark room samsung still looks better with deeper black levels - contrast.
Which one is better for watching movies, this or Philips 70pus7505 (black levels, judder, motion handling...) Which one would you recommend overall? Thanks!
Hello, can you please tell me what settings did you use in the white balance 2 points? I have bought this TV after watching your review and I'm very pleased with it.
Sir i am from india ...this is the best review i have seen... in india we have tu 8570 variant...i want to buy one. but small doubt it supports dts codec or not?
i am in dilemma , i am getting samsung65 NU8000( which is 2018 model with better specs,) and 65tu8500 for the same price, which one would give me a better viewing experience... so which one should i go for?
well nu80 is still better in terms of motion processing, esspecially if you using hdmi, brightness is also very good, tu8500 has improved dual led contrast, but otherwise is more comparable with ru74 than with ru8000.
Great review, thank you ! I am looking to buy this (UE65TU8502 ) or QE65Q67T. Mainly for watching movies in a dimly lit room. Most important factors for me are : 1.high contrast 2.low reflection of the screen (some Qleds or Oleds reflect ambient ligt like a mirror which I don't like) 3.motion handling (no choppy movement or blurr) 4. No colour banding. I don't need wide viewing angle. Could you please let me know which one would be a better choice for me ? Thanks a million.
yes tu85 has very good contrast ratio for the price and if you watch tv in dimly lit room, there's no big benefit from more brighter qled series, but if you can get on sale qled for the same price, go with q60 or q70 series it will have much better motion processing for movies.
Had to google it to understand what you were talking about. Found out that freeview is only a thing for uk audience mostly. And mostly only propaganda msm channels anyway. But as you started to talk about it.... we are in 2021 and there is still missing major apps that can bundle thousands of IPTV channels. But after my 1st experience with socalled smarttv 10 and 4 years ago... i understand the word smart in smarttv is just a satcastic word for « Extremly stupid »-box. You will not believe it before you see it.... how retarded the socalled smart functions actually are. Considering we are in 2021, not 2001.
Was looking for a 50" RU7400, how does it compare to this TU8500? The price difference in my country is around 100$ higher for the TU8500. Is it worth that price difference? Any noticeable improvement? Thanks!
well, tu has better dual led contrast, so black levels are improved, but difference is not colossus, otherwise ru74 is very similar, it has even little more brighter screen. (300 vs 330)
Thanks for video. Have you reviewed the Sony xh90 TV? It has 120hz and hdmi 2.1, but not sure if worth paying a little more for that or get the Samsung instead.
Hey :) Thanks for the video I got a question. I would like to buy this one; however, the only problem is that my TV set's depth is 30 CM; the stand of 8500 says it is 35 cm... do you think it will sit there?? or will I have to buy a new tv set? İf it does not fit on the tv set desk; I will have to buy the tu7000; as its stand is 25 cm. so; will 8500 sit on 30 cm depth tv unit? :))
Thanks for the great review! Since this TV doesn't have an output to connect wired headphones, could you explain what I need to do to be able to use them? I'd rather use traditional wired rather than Bluetooth or radio headphones as I've had bad experiences with them.
Hey great review. What is contrast ratio on this? I recently bought tcl p725 but looking to change because it has very bad haloes even though it has micro dimming but blacks are terrible and so are grey colours with alot of backlight bleed in dark screens. And will this support 120hz on ps5 ?
How about motion handling in game mode or for watching sports? input lag in game mode for 4k Resolution? And please give me your opinion what is the best choice in this price range for watching sports and playing ps4/5. Tnx
Sir Which would have upper hand Tu8570 or Sony X80G ? And how better Tizen os has been? In terms of apps and os updates Sony has been progressing on Android tv os
if you need all possible apps on smart TV, than Sony is better , otherwise i think that Samsung is lighter and faster, especially in terms of hdmi and input lag.
Hei, thank you for the great review, i'm now willing to buy a tv for gaming looking at the next gen consoles coming , hopefully, and more generally a tv that allows me to enjoy 4k movies and tv shows, is this the best buy in its category? i'm looking also at the samsung series 8 8070 which is a little cheaper, is there a big difference, thank you in advance!
there is difference in contrast and colors, but only in direct comparison, but if you can afford it, go with tu85 you will get better experience in screen and in extra apps.
hi. great review. just purchased this tv. does the 4k upscaling happen automatically or is there a setting i need to turn on please as i can't find one? many thanks
Hello, I am thinking about buying this TV after your great review... Does it come with these apps... Twitch and Smart IPTV installed? Thank you in advance!
@@TechWatcher Thanks. My daughter's LG had both these apps preinstalled, so if the Samsung has them too then I'll buy it. If not, I'll be going for an LG too.
Hey mate, just wanna ask you guys opinion, should i get samsung 50 inch tu8500 or samsung tu7000 55 inch.. As this two were price same on shop i was chat..my watching distance 8.5 feet.
Hello there. I would like to see comparison between this tv and Philips new 8 series please. As well if it's possible Philips 8 series with gx 83 and 85 Sony series. Thank you in advance
in terms of brightness picture quality, they are comparable, but Sony and LG will have wider viewing angle and better colors , but Samsung will still have better contrast with black levels in direct comparison.
Mike Neirinck i has the Sony 49 xg81 which I have taken back, it keep saying no WiFi when there was so apps would not work, and even when it had a update last week was still the same. When it was by a window it was dark and even it best picture mode, the blacks colour was not a good as my old 2015 panansoic 4k and this one was far better from a older tv. When had to keep turning it off as screen would go off due to it lagging as apps bbc iPlayer and pay store not opening, also with Alexa it’s not great, sometimes turn tv on, can only say up one channel, as you can’t say itv , I’m looking at this tu8500 instead. Hope this helps
i have this an i'm struggling to get a clear picture for football, turned judder right down but the picture is still struggling and doesn't seem very clear when the players are moving
I forgot to ask this - my previous Samsung had a problem with play back TV especially channel 5 - if you paused it , when you went to play it would throw up error messages - I was told it was a Samsung issue ? Will this one have similar issues or are they all ironed out? Brilliant video though very informative 😊
they are comparable in some scenes, lg looks better in bright room, but samsung has advantage with dual led contrast and better black levels in the dimmly lit room.
tu85 is faster and more comparable with Philips pus85 in terms of menus, apps speed. picture wise, samsung has better black levels, while philips offer better color calibration of the box.
yes, it has very good image upscale, its very hard to find any artifacts in very close distance, thanks to the excellent hdmi inputs with low input lag.
Just purchased this tv without realising how ridiculously narrow the viewing angle is before the screen starts looking washed out, I have to be sat directly in front of the screen which isn’t good for my living room. Not sure if I can return it but do you have an alternative 43” recommendation that isn’t an LG for price point of £500?
Hi, which TV do you think is best, this or the LG 55NANO796. One problem we have in our living room is the sun shining onto the screen so would also be interested which TV combats this best. Thanks
lg nano series have more brightness and nano7 is more comparable to samsungs qled series q60, these tvs have in average 30% more brightness than tu8500, so they are more usable for bright rooms.
hello how this compare to UE65TU8500 read somwhere that 65" versions has ADS panel so not so good with black when watching at night time and also low contrast compare to 55" have you got any info about it ? thanks
if you watch dimly lit room, samsung tu85 has better black levels for the movies, lg on the other hand offer better picture in bright environment, but difference isn't huge.
Hey bro... Is there a big difference between the picture quality of RU7470 and this tv series? And can you guide me that should i keep the auto motion plus settings to AUTO OR OFF OR CUSTOM?
Hey man. I got this installed today but there is a lot of backlight bleed on top left and right edges. Not sure what to do. Can you check if you are facing this and let me know of a solution?
no problems on mine, but it can also happen, while you taking tv out of the box, because to much force was on the screen side. its the best to unbox tv without any touch to the screen side and hold it below the frame asap.
I would like to ask if I could connect the audio from this tv to my home theatre with rca. My home theatre is a bit old so it does not have the hdmi input. I saw that this tv has the rca ports, but I am not sure if they can output the sound to my old theatre. Do you know any other way I could connect it? The theatre is a Philips LX 3900 SA. Thank you. :)
Just wondering, where i live the price difference between this model and the TU7100 is about 70 bucks. Do you think it's worth the extra money? Thanks in advance :)

Qled has still more brightness than tu85, so picture will be more vivid.
It depends where are you gonna use the tv... the brightness could be annoying in rooms with no light... but in rooms with a lot of windows it helps.
Hey :) Thanks for the video
I got a question. I would like to buy this one; however, the only problem is that my TV set's depth is 30 CM; the stand of 8500 says it is 35 cm...
do you think it will sit there?? or will I have to buy a new tv set?
İf it does not fit on the tv set desk; I will have to buy the tu7000; as its stand is 25 cm.
so; will 8500 sit on 30 cm depth tv unit? :))
yes it will be stable, but it will be little over the edge, maybe if you use some plate under it.
@@TechWatcher thanks. What do you mean by plate? :)
I just ordered a 43 inch er , I hope not to be disapointed.
Andreas Lindmark What do you think of it?
Thanks for the great review! Since this TV doesn't have an output to connect wired headphones, could you explain what I need to do to be able to use them? I'd rather use traditional wired rather than Bluetooth or radio headphones as I've had bad experiences with them.
you just need optical to analog converter.
@@TechWatcher OK, thanks for the info
Hey great review. What is contrast ratio on this? I recently bought tcl p725 but looking to change because it has very bad haloes even though it has micro dimming but blacks are terrible and so are grey colours with alot of backlight bleed in dark screens. And will this support 120hz on ps5 ?
they are similar tier of TVs, it has good black levels, but for 4k120 i would suggest latest au90 series, tu85 has max support for4k60
How about motion handling in game mode or for watching sports? input lag in game mode for 4k Resolution?
And please give me your opinion what is the best choice in this price range for watching sports and playing ps4/5.
Tnx
well it will work okay, offcourse you can still have better motion handling with native 120hz q70 series but they are much more expensive.
Samsung gives good motion handling only in qled 120hz native
Sir Which would have upper hand Tu8570 or Sony X80G ?
And how better Tizen os has been? In terms of apps and os updates
Sony has been progressing on Android tv os
if you need all possible apps on smart TV, than Sony is better , otherwise i think that Samsung is lighter and faster, especially in terms of hdmi and input lag.
How to connect my home theater (which has only aux port) to this tv?
Hei, thank you for the great review, i'm now willing to buy a tv for gaming looking at the next gen consoles coming , hopefully, and more generally a tv that allows me to enjoy 4k movies and tv shows, is this the best buy in its category? i'm looking also at the samsung series 8 8070 which is a little cheaper, is there a big difference, thank you in advance!
there is difference in contrast and colors, but only in direct comparison, but if you can afford it, go with tu85 you will get better experience in screen and in extra apps.
Excellent review
hi. great review. just purchased this tv. does the 4k upscaling happen automatically or is there a setting i need to turn on please as i can't find one? many thanks
check out advanced picture settings. motion tab
Thanks but no such setting on my 2020 model?
Hello, I am thinking about buying this TV after your great review... Does it come with these apps... Twitch and Smart IPTV installed? Thank you in advance!
it has iptv apps, but not as many like lg or android tvs, i will check for twitch asap.
@@TechWatcher Thanks. My daughter's LG had both these apps preinstalled, so if the Samsung has them too then I'll buy it.
If not, I'll be going for an LG too.
Hey mate, just wanna ask you guys opinion, should i get samsung 50 inch tu8500 or samsung tu7000 55 inch.. As this two were price same on shop i was chat..my watching distance 8.5 feet.
Hello there. I would like to see comparison between this tv and Philips new 8 series please. As well if it's possible Philips 8 series with gx 83 and 85 Sony series. Thank you in advance
its comparable with xh8096, comparison asap
Pls sir can you tell me wich TV is better: Philips 43PUS7304 ambilight or this Samsung? Thanks.
Philips has better color calibration, but samsung is faster and better contrast and black levels.
@@TechWatcher I really like that Ambilight so you think The 50' model with VA panel îs Better than 43' IPS panel? THANKS
Thanks. How does it compare to the SONY TV KD-43XG8096/TV 4K KD-43X7056/TV 4K KD-43XH8096, Panasonic TX-43GX550E/TX-43FX550E or the LG TV 4K 43UM7050?
in terms of brightness picture quality, they are comparable, but Sony and LG will have wider viewing angle and better colors , but Samsung will still have better contrast with black levels in direct comparison.
Mike Neirinck i has the Sony 49 xg81 which I have taken back, it keep saying no WiFi when there was so apps would not work, and even when it had a update last week was still the same.
When it was by a window it was dark and even it best picture mode, the blacks colour was not a good as my old 2015 panansoic 4k and this one was far better from a older tv.
When had to keep turning it off as screen would go off due to it lagging as apps bbc iPlayer and pay store not opening, also with Alexa it’s not great, sometimes turn tv on, can only say up one channel, as you can’t say itv ,
I’m looking at this tu8500 instead. Hope this helps
What difference between this model and FXZC model
hi, thanks for your good reviews.
What i should buy samsung ue65tu8500u or hisense Hisense 65U71QF.
I have some doubts, now.
Thanks if you would help.
hisense has more brightness, but samsung has still better picture processing and support more apps.
i have this an i'm struggling to get a clear picture for football, turned judder right down but the picture is still struggling and doesn't seem very clear when the players are moving
try to disable all motion settings (advanced menu) and then start enabling one by one before you test.
So the motion isn't good on this tv ?.
@@jayb7055 its okay, but if you want better check out q7 it has 120hz screen
Does this have the main UK catch-up apps BBC iPlayer, ITVhub, All4 and My5?
I forgot to ask this - my previous Samsung had a problem with play back TV especially channel 5 - if you paused it , when you went to play it would throw up error messages - I was told it was a Samsung issue ? Will this one have similar issues or are they all ironed out?
Brilliant video though very informative 😊
it has fast processor, i didn't have any problems with channels.
what is the difference between tv samsung 55 TU 8500 AND tv samsung 55 TU 8505
they have same picture quality, different exterior color
Thanks for your video! Comparing 65TU8500 to LG 65NANO81TNA, any advice?
they are comparable in some scenes, lg looks better in bright room, but samsung has advantage with dual led contrast and better black levels in the dimmly lit room.
Better than tu8000? Same price right now. I'm so confused on which one to get??
I got tricked I bought tu850d thought was same model smh
@@quanle9771 is tu850d same as tu8500?
@@flyingballs66 so far I think so... both dual led, sam spec
Would you recommend this television to someone who will use it to watch TV and play PS4 Pro video games on it?
yes it has very low input lag, which is good for gaming, just make sure to enable game mode.
I will pay more than buy tu8500 and buy q70t. The price difference is not much, but the performance is excellent.
Do you have any suggestions for a 43 inch gaming TV somewhere around 500 or 600 pounds.
lg un7 series has the fastest screens, but samsung is similar and it has better colors in comparison with lgs wrgb screens.
@@TechWatcher which samsung would you recommend the Q60T or TU8500 or TU8000
hi do you know if the 43inch is also VA I hear rumours of some tvs having 43 inch as IPS but I can't see any info on this tv for that
I will test it asap
Which is better? VA or IPS?
@@TechWatcher Sweet, thanks!
What is the difference between these two tvs please Samsung UE50TU8507 and the UE50TU8500
Thank you in advance
they have same picture quality, but different color frame and remote.
the image of TV is so saturated. Is it possible to decrease the saturation from menu to get final result looks like normal and real colors?
yes you can lower colors to any level, or just disable color booster.
I know it's a common question but will the PS5 perform nicely in TU8500? Will I have any issues in gaming with this TV? Thanks!
yes it has excellent support for gaming
Looking at buying this. Good review.
Actually have bought it now and very impressed with it. Brilliant TV and gaming is excellent.
Hello there is no blomming in picture ? What about the picture in a motion ? Like foot ball ?
its okay, but if you want true 120fps go with q7 series
@@TechWatcher i just wanna see good picture in foot ball that's all
Tks. What's is the difference between the TU8000 and TU8500 series other than the stand?
it has more brightness and inputs
Hi there, this tv or the
Philips 65PUS7805 please ..
What is the ppi number motion processing on the Samsung please .. many thanks
tu85 is faster and more comparable with Philips pus85 in terms of menus, apps speed. picture wise, samsung has better black levels, while philips offer better color calibration of the box.
Nice review! By the way im between tu8500 55" and tu8000 55" . Help me choose!
thanks, if you want 20% better contrast go with tu85, otherwise they are very similar.
@@TechWatcher thank you🙂
how you compare Samsung 55tu8500 vs Sony 55x8000H. Whats you recomandation as regular use and ps4 gaming sometimes?
in terms of gaming i would go with samsung, sony is also good choice, but i think it is little slower than samsung (12vs17)
I see a plastic screen protector on the tv. Should I peel it off or it's for there for a a reason???
There is only thin foil protector on frame bezels, back and stand, screen has no protection installed, so dont remove it.
How does ru7400 compare to this , thanks
Its similar, ru74 has 10% more brightness, but tu85 has 20% better black levels and contrast, thanks to the new dual led technology.
Does this have any backlight bleed issues which becomes a problem in a dimly lit room. Please share your views on this .
i was watching few movies with space scenes in pitch black room, there was no noticeable backlight problems.
Hello Tech Watcher, does this model support HDMI 2.1?
2.0
Hey another question if I was playing on a normal xbox that dese not supporters 4k dese the upscale make the game 4k
yes, it has very good image upscale, its very hard to find any artifacts in very close distance, thanks to the excellent hdmi inputs with low input lag.
I would like to know if I have a 2.1 system I cannot connect it because of doesn't have an headphone jack? Thank you for your answer
2.1 is reserved for top tier qled series, try optical to analog converter.
@@TechWatcher thank you for your answer, very nice of you
Just purchased this tv without realising how ridiculously narrow the viewing angle is before the screen starts looking washed out, I have to be sat directly in front of the screen which isn’t good for my living room. Not sure if I can return it but do you have an alternative 43” recommendation that isn’t an LG for price point of £500?
check out philips pus7505 or 8505
@@TechWatcher thank you il check it out
Hi, which TV do you think is best, this or the LG 55NANO796. One problem we have in our living room is the sun shining onto the screen so would also be interested which TV combats this best. Thanks
lg nano series have more brightness and nano7 is more comparable to samsungs qled series q60, these tvs have in average 30% more brightness than tu8500, so they are more usable for bright rooms.
@@TechWatcher thanks, and which do you think is the better tv?
@@christophertrue8983 lg wins here
hello how this compare to UE65TU8500 read somwhere that 65" versions has ADS panel so not so good with black when watching at night time and also low contrast compare to 55" have you got any info about it ? thanks
some sites reports that it has va panel, only 43inch usually samsung tvs have ips, but if you are not sure best to skip it.
Hello, would you recommend this one, or sony 55xg8096? Or, LG nano in the simillar category? For watching netflix and sports? Hvala;D
if you watch dimly lit room, samsung tu85 has better black levels for the movies, lg on the other hand offer better picture in bright environment, but difference isn't huge.
Hi, can you connect any soundbar with wifi or Bluetooth to that Tv?
Thanks
yes
@@TechWatcher thanks
Do I need any special adaptors or it can be connected straight away from tv menu?
i am deciding should i get the TU8500 or Q60T, do you think the Q60T is worth that extra money?
thank you!
should i buy this or the ru8000?i care for picture quality colors and gaming
go with ru85, its worth it, better contrast and faster processor.
Hey bro... Is there a big difference between the picture quality of RU7470 and this tv series? And can you guide me that should i keep the auto motion plus settings to AUTO OR OFF OR CUSTOM?
it will work fine with auto, tu85 has improved dual led contrast, but otherwise still similiar to ru74 in terms of colors accuracy.
Hey man. I got this installed today but there is a lot of backlight bleed on top left and right edges. Not sure what to do. Can you check if you are facing this and let me know of a solution?
no problems on mine, but it can also happen, while you taking tv out of the box, because to much force was on the screen side. its the best to unbox tv without any touch to the screen side and hold it below the frame asap.
Bro contact me on my page plz
I would like to ask if I could connect the audio from this tv to my home theatre with rca. My home theatre is a bit old so it does not have the hdmi input. I saw that this tv has the rca ports, but I am not sure if they can output the sound to my old theatre. Do you know any other way I could connect it? The theatre is a Philips LX 3900 SA. Thank you. :)
yes, you can use analog to opctical adapter, i use it for 3.5 wireless headphones.
Would you recommend this tv over lg un7400 55''? I can not choose between these two. Thank you.
Youre welcome
Just wondering, where i live the price difference between this model and the TU7100 is about 70 bucks. Do you think it's worth the extra money? Thanks in advance :)
go with tu85, usually its more than 150 bucks difference, you still get more inputs, brighter screen and better contrast and smart remote control.
could u give me the name of the video u show on tv plz and thanks
