About this deal

The design wears the plastic reasonably well, though. The feet aren’t distracting and lift the screen high enough to accommodate a soundbar, while the frame around the screen is extremely narrow for this level of the market (even if the set’s rear depth isn’t). The Samsung BU8500's ports are largely easy to access. (Image credit: Future) Samsung BU8500 review: Features

This is a TV that combines the spectacular with cinematic subtlety in a very rare fashion. It thrills, but not in a way that’s even slightly showy. And it combines that with surprisingly atmospheric and engaging sound – though we would still, as ever, recommend a dedicated sound system if you’re serious about home cinema. A sense of value is absolutely critical to the Samsung BU8500. It exists to make sure that you can get lots of the latest features for a low price, or to give you the chance to upgrade to a larger screen while still keeping within your budget. Important progress comes with the UE43BU8000’s superior brightness and extra vibrant colours. Peak brightness is maybe barely greater on the UE43AU7100, however the newer TV has a transparent brightness increase with full-screen content material. Samsung’s newest Dynamic Crystal processor does a greater job of guaranteeing that regardless of the additional affect there may be nonetheless plenty of finesse within the UE43BU8000’s shade rendition, the additional brightness will increase the colour quantity so colours look extra vibrant but in addition extra pure. The bundled Bravia CAM – a camera that magnetically attaches to the rear of the set and peeks over the top of the screen – isn't terribly useful now and possibly never will be, but for picture quality the A95K is a star. It sounds great by TV standards too, thanks to its bespoke Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology, which utilizes actuators that imperceptibly vibrate the whole screen to make sound.

Of course, the LCD screen can’t compete with an OLED when it comes to performance, but thanks to Samsung’s Crystal Colour tech, which combines a relatively wide-gamut VA panel and potent processing, the pictures are bright and colourful. Native 4K sources look sharp and detailed, plus it does an above-average job of upscaling HD stuff too. Dolby Digital Plus, Multiroom link, Audio Bluetooth, Dolby MS12, Audio Pre-selection Descriptor, Adaptive Sound This TV is incredibly slimline, and is designed in the AirSlim method used by the company. This makes it super slim and easy to fit into any corner of the home. It's a TV designed to be watched and to draw the eye. Its thin profile even has a built in cable management system which will reduce clutter and make sure your eyes stay on the screen at all times, so you don't miss a thing. Helps to Make Life EasierIn picture terms, there’s really nothing not to like at the price, but it has to be said that the sound is decidedly average, even by the fairly low standards of modern flatscreen TVs. As with the vast majority of sets, we recommend that you also budget for at least a soundbar if you’re going to buy the LG C2. Even the most expensive TVs tend to play it safe design-wise, so no one should really be expecting any out-there design flourishes where a mainstream model like the AU7100 is concerned. And sure enough, there aren’t any - which is undoubtedly a good thing.

The UE43BU8000’s ‘AirSlim’ design really helps it stand out from the budget TV crowd, with its 26mm-deep rear creating an almost OLED-like look that’s particularly at home hung on a wall. The Game mode doesn’t support VRR, ALLM or 4K@120Hz, but activating it unleashes a class-leading 9.7ms of input lag. Just be sure to put Game mode on “Auto” so the TV automatically detects a connected games console or PC. Picture quality So not for the first time (and almost certainly not for the last), Samsung has managed to hit a price-point without too many obvious compromises. It's absolutely one of the best Samsung TVs available today for those on a budget. Samsung BU8500 review: Price and release date HDR10+ assistance helps, but we’re talking subtle amounts here. In Bad Times at the El Royale and The Suicide Squad, colours have a little more depth and range, although the spectacular-looking The Rings of Power appears flat in places – there’s simply not enough contrast, depth or richness in the BU8000’s colours to convey a truly three-dimensional image.

La pantalla tiene un tamaño de 43 pulgadas con unas dimensiones con peana de 965.5 x 599 x 205.6 mm, sin peana de 965.5 x 559.9 x 25.7 mm y un peso de 8,4 kg, siendo compatible con soporte de pared VESA de 200 x 200. Teniendo un panel de iluminación Edge LED con un procesador de imagen Crystal que ofrece una calidad de imagen Ultra HD 4K con colores, brillo y contrastes notables, gracias a las nanopartículas de su paleta de colores de más de 1000 millones y con la compatibilidad con formatos HDR10+, HDR10 y HLG. It's important to note, though, that almost no native 8K content is available. If you buy an 8K TV and want to show off its ridiculously high resolution, you'll have to do so using nature, scenery and space footage from YouTube. At this stage, no streaming services have even hinted at launching 8K content, and it seems unlikely that an 8K disc format will ever materialise. But it’s a brilliant TV for non-gamers, too. The brighter OLED technology makes for a more excitingly punchy viewing experience, but there’s nothing forced about the delivery. On the contrary, this is the same, balanced delivery we’ve come to expect from LG’s OLEDs, but now with more dynamism and shadow detail. If you’re sitting the correct distance from your TV, you’ll see lots of detail, good edge definition and smooth, clean motion, but if you’re sitting too close to the screen, then you’re going to see more picture noise and artefacts.

Whereas clouding is aggressive sufficient in a single or two areas of the display screen to actually distract you should you’re watching TV in any distant darkroom setup, misplaced shadow element could make darkish scenes look flatter and extra empty than shiny ones. . The motion performance is generally good for an LCD TV, with the use of a 50Hz refresh rate making sense in the UK. Importantly, the BU8500 handles films in 24p or games in 60Hz without introducing judder or other issues. Picture Clarity offers frame interpolation options, and while good for fast-paced sports such as football, should be avoided when watching films and TV dramas. Percentage luminance drop at 20 degree vertical angle from the centre of the screen with 50% white output To test the Samsung BU8500 we used Portrait Displays Calman colour calibration software. Samsung BU8500 review: Sound quality The Samsung BU8500 isn’t the greatest choice as a gaming TV, in part because the 50Hz panel precludes support for 4K/120Hz high-frame-rate gaming, along with VRR (variable refresh rate), Freesync and the Motion Xcelerator Turbo Pro technology found on other Samsung TVs.Finally, you need to really consider sound, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider a TV that doesn’t sound good. Confused? That’s understandable, but the disappointing truth is that even the best-sounding TV is far behind a decent soundbar for audio quality, so we always recommend focusing on picture quality when buying a TV and budgeting for a dedicated sound system to go with it. We do know that’s not an option for everyone, though, so we do of course test a TV’s speakers as thoroughly as its screen. If the audio quality matters a lot to you, you’ll find all of the necessary info below. There’s also a TV in this list that’s serious about Dolby Atmos sound. What size TV should you buy?
