Hands-on review of the Samsung RU8000 HDR TV.
The Samsung RU8000 is a very good 4k TV with good picture quality. In this review, we compare it to 4 other popular models.
Full review:
It delivers deep uniform blacks in a dark room, but lacks a local dimming feature to further improve dark room performance. The RU8000 has good SDR peak brightness and good reflection handling.
The TV has a wide color gamut, but HDR peak brightness is only mediocre, so it can’t display small highlights as they should be. The overall gray uniformity is good with just minimal dirty screen effect, but the viewing angles are poor and you have to sit straight in front to enjoy an accurate image.
Motion handling is excellent with a fast response time that helps display crisp motion with minimal blur trail. The input lag is very low, and the TV supports FreeSync variable refresh rate technology to please gamers.
Model tested: 55” (UN55RU8000)
Should also be valid for the 49” (UN49RU8000), 65” (UN65RU8000), 75” (UN75RU8000) and 82” (UN82RU8000)

Which would pick between the Vizio P Series Quantum and Samsung RU8000 for a 75”? They are the same price right now at my local Best Buy. The guy at the store told me the Samsung is better but I’ve had my eye on the Vizio. Thanks in advance!
Shall I get this one or the NU8000? 55'' of this has similar price to the 49'' of the UN8000 here is Greece. Will be using it for Netflix mostly, but also for watching sports and some gaming.

Was looking for a PC gaming and movies TV. Found a 49" RU8000 for a good price and thought I'd found the deal of the century. That goodness for your review pointing out that the 49" doesn't have freesync. You save me making an expensive mistake.
Why did they stop with the one connect boxes?!?!
Hi Daniel, 'different sizes have different back-light'? What does the 75 inch have..
Thanks in advance
Amazing Professional review, perfectly keep up the good work!
Does anyone know the difference between the RU8000 and the RU800D?
What about 82RU8000? It sells about $1800 in China, does it worth the price?Some people told me 75Q70 is a better choise, it's about $1960,but i prefer the big one.
Love this TV, but an annoying problem is when I click it off, it sometimes comes back on?! So if I am gone for awhile, this is not good. Any suggestion, fix? Thanks
PSA – FreeSync does not work on NVIDIA video cards over HDMI. It is limited to DisplayPort only which this TV doesn't have. I made this mistake, it is painful.
We thought the review was good but when we looked at picture in store we weren't happy with it. It looked noisy for some reason, or grainy.
I bought this TV and after using the RTings calibration settings am very satisfied. Only two things are not great – the sound, its trash. Also the brightness – use the calibration settings RTings have provided and it can get just bright enough, but its on the edge of being too dim. If it was brighter this TV would have been amazing.
I have an nu8000
Best reviews always come here for the tv reviews
i wish it had a centre stand like the nu8000 that way i don't have to buy a tvstand that is almost as long as the tv. RTINGS LOVE YOUR REVIEWS. Does the NU8000 have variable refresh rates? Which do you prefer the ru8000 or the nu8000?
Basicly it's nu8000 but with 2019 label! 🧐🧐🧐
The ru8000 is thicker than nu8000 … and thicker frame… why
I had LG lb730 than got this tv. Its crap. Samsung doesnt support DTS and more than half of the pirated 4k or hd movies are dts. Viewing angles are more than crap, like 20° you get mostly red washout. I get headaches after couple of hours watching. I tried evwey option from one to 10 on the motion settings and its crap. 4 seems thr best, on auto it makes weird particles. I dont know how 2019 model high end one be such of a crap. Too bad i live in a country that you cant return your device cuz i would have exchange it for sony or lg. Pls dont buy this model. Get the Qled that is like 10% more expensive but not this one. The viewing angles are much better despite rtings test that says that they are the same..they are not you can notice it in the store.
I bought the Samsung RU8000 in 65inch. We love it! Gorgeous picture quality, also Gaming is awesome on it to with PS4. 🙂
I'm debating on this or the Vizio p series. Rtings has the Vizio ranked higher but the samsung has freesync. Would anyone buy this over the vizio?
THANKS! i'll pick the RU8000 😀
I wonder if the nu8000 is better because it says it comes with HDR plus,
Is this TV 3D compatible
Remake the samsung q8fn!!!!! You made a good tv samsung. Improve it and bring it back!!!
I referred to all your videos these past few weeks for all my TV needs. Thank you, you’ve been a great help.
Got the RU8000 today and I'm super happy with it. I beg to differ with speaker quality though. It's absolute crap
Excelent
Ru8000 or q60r? 49".
What test do you use to measure if the TV really gets 60 or up to 120 hz refresh rate?
I had my heart set on this Tv to hook up with my PS4 Pro, but i am now put off by the poor HDR 😔 i am upgrading from the KU6000 and was after a HDR improvement.. What are my other options in this price range?
