    important mount note! read this, you need to do math!
    I really love this tv! The size, quality and smart features is just amazing, especially after waiting a long time to upgrade. I hung this tv on a tv console, and that was the most frustrating part for me, so I knocked a star off because it really should have better instructions. I had to do alot of online researching! This tv has vesa mounts which is good - the instructions say 20-22mm size m8. I tried a 20mm m8 screw and it did not work. It turns out that is the length that you need to aim for INSIDE the tv, not the actual screw length. Do actual measurements, or take your best guess at it like I did. For the tv bracket that came with the console stand, I had to use a 25mm screw to accomodate the width of the bracket. The most frustrating part is that the tv has an irregular shape back and it is not mentioned anywhere, the bottom two vesa screws will need to be LONGER than the top two screws! I had to use an even longer screw coupled with a spacer under the bracket against the tv (as per the tv console instructions) to get the bottom screws to hold - the screw for that one was 45 mm and the math was 45 mm screw - 22 mm spacer = 23 mm then take that distance: 23 mm - you need minimum of 20mm inside of tv = gives 3mm space for bracket and washer. Also note that this tv does not come with ANY mounting screws or spacers, you should buy a mounting screw kit with various size screws, washers and spacers in addition to your tv bracket/console. I wasted a few hours on a weekend on figuring this out so hopefully my review helps at least one person. Also, if you plan to mount on a tv console, make sure that it can support your tv! After I bought this tv, I realized that my current console only supported up to 55 and I bought a 65! I had to wait an additional 2 weeks with my tv on the floor while the new tv stand was being shipped, and then I had to build it! Sigh, this was a project and that was an unexpected expense for me. It was worth it at the end though.I also purchased the 43 inch, and that one DOES have a flat and not curved irregular back - I really love this tv too! Another note - for amazon video, on occasion I would see a "something went wrong" message. To fix this issue, I had to do a hard reboot by holding the power button for 10 seconds. If you have any issues with apps such as amazon, hulu, netflix, etc - in the settings, there is also an option to "reinstall" each app if needed.

    • Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020
      Size: 65-InchVerified Purchase
      The specs on this are confusing because this Amazon page does not correspond to the specs on other websites. For instance it says 60 fps here but 120 fps elsewhere. After research the 55" and larger are 120 fps, the smaller are 60 fps. Also it notes 2 HDMI here and 3 elsewhere. I believe this is also to do with the size of the television you bought but not sure. Even when viewing a 55" or larger tv the compare feature here is still showing for their smaller versions.

      This has lead to a lot of "I didn't know this was 60 fps when I bought it but I can't tell" because it is actually 120 if 55" or larger.

      Hope this helps, look up the stats elsewhere.

      Besides this the tv is great, the colors are amazing compared to a normal tv but the RU8000 has a deeper color palette. Basically this is the economy version of the RU8000 but performs very well. It does very well, maybe even the best in it's class for 4k. The input lag is very low so this could be used for gaming very easily. The gaming mode actually scores better than the movie picture mode in most reviews. The initial settings will need to be tweaked to run this at it's full potential. Just look up online the best setting than your good to go. After being optimized this tv scored a 9.0 for 4k TV's, pre-optimized settings it scored a 7.9

      I purchased the 65" version of the Samsung Crystal UHD TU-8000.

      Pros and Cons:
      * Mounting was relatively straightforward. Like other reviews, I did have to purchase specialized bolts to secure the tv to my existing flat screen mount. Fortunately I have a hardware store nearby, and it was easy to find what I needed. I agree with other reviews that the screws need to be a tad longer than what is specified in the owner's manual. I used four M8 1.25 pitch screws at 30 mm length. Depending on your mount, this may or may not be the proper length for you.
      * Once powered up, I found the remote control to be very simple, and surprisingly intuitive. I give the remote 4 stars for two reasons: the buttons are not back-lit or visible at all in the dark, and the remote is small and black which means I lost it three times in one night of viewing.
      * The quality of the graphics are very good. As noted in other reviews, the screen is very reflective which can be bothersome for daytime viewing. I would have included a picture, but the tv behaved like a mirror and I didn't want to post a selfie. ;)
      * The smart features were very intuitive, and highly functional. Within minutes I had set up access for YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and HBO Max. This was the main reason for me to upgrade from my 55" Samsung screen, which was nearly 10 yrs old.
      * I plugged in my Chromecast, and the TV recognized it and began offering Google Assistant as a voice command option (in addition to the native Alexa and Bixby options).
      * I still haven't figured out how to get Ambient mode working. It isn't important for me anyway, so I gave up. I may try again in the future out of morbid curiosity.
      * I have a separate Sony stereo receiver with bookshelf speakers. I plugged in the optical cable and HDMI, and it worked immediately. The two devices "talk" to each other, so I only need to use the remote that came with the TV.

      Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. The interface is now much simpler than what I had before. I'm a tech person by trade, so the added complexity I used to deal with didn't bother me, but my wife was not able to operate the tv without my help. With this new setup, she feels much more comfortable operating it on her own.

      Size: 65-InchVerified Purchase
      Update 4/2/2023 TV is dead - I had a feeling Samsung was garbage - will never buy Samsung again - every tv ever bought before has lasted 10+ years. This barely lasted 2 years. Total garbage - don’t buy.

      I bought this about 3 weeks ago. It has a "white" space around the top left corner (and along the left side). It is mostly noticeable when there is a black / dark scene ... it is not solid black in the upper left corner (or along the left side) when it is evenly dark everywhere else (about 2 inch circumference in top left corner is the worst). Annoying but the box to return tv is gone so dealing with it. The OS and included apps worked well the first few weeks. Then this week the Prime app started acting up. It would not open. I clicked the Prime button it would not open so navigated to and selected the Prime app and it keeps taking me to the Samsung free channels or one of the connected game systems. VERY Annoying but we had like 5 other apps to pick from so we just moved on... unfortunately, next day ... Opening the Prime app was still an issue (it would not open) and now Apple + does not open either. Oh wait now Hulu doesn't open either. I unplugged TV and waited 60 seconds, plugged it back in ... still none of the apps will open. Soooo I went to settings>support>update... TV up to date, no updates available. Then I go into the app settings. Tried to delete Apple+ so I could reinstall... ugh, nope I cant delete it because it was preinstalled. Once there however, I decided to click Open from the apps settings section. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE solution to this problem BUT that worked. Then I went back to the appropriate way of selecting app to open. For whatever reason I am now able to open all apps again. Sorry but when I go to use my TV, I want it to just work as it should. I should not have to troubleshoot every time I turn on the TV 3 weeks in to be able to watch something. So yeah if you have patience and can accept less than perfect functionality and picture quality (but pretty good in fairness) then this is an option. That said, too many unacceptable issues for the prices so I give it 2 stars. if it would have worked the way it should without requiring me to do a bunch of troubleshooting after 3 weeks of use, It probably would have received 3 stars. If the screen was not already messed up in the top left corner and the apps worked without struggle I would have probably given it 4 stars because when the issues outlined above are not present, it is a pretty good tv. All this said, I would recommend you pay the extra for added warranty If you do purchase this TV because it is too big to return without a reasonable amount of frustration. (Oh and dont buy it just because it is Alexa enabled if you already have echos in the house. totally useless feature to have on the tv if you already have an Echo (or many). I got it with alexa thinking I would be able to "easily" sync my echo plus with it... which you can do but there is nothing easy at all about the setup and once it is setup there is a major delay between the TV audio and Echo audio. (Echo is delayed by like 2 - 3 seconds. (I have GB internet service with an excellent router). I will say, the speakers in the tv are pretty good so I just use the tv speakers. Over all, I was disappointed with this purchase but its good enough not to return (At least not yet)

      Update
      Still not loving the tv. The App Store section is Horrible! Search UI tries to be smart but fails miserably. Half the time you click install on an app it looks like it’s going to install and it doesn’t.

      The Samsung free content is annoying because it goes right to that instead of letting me pick what I want when I first turn on the tv and it’s louder than the other apps.

      It’s good enough for the sales price I paid but will never pay full price for a Samsung anything after the experience I’ve had with this TV.
