surprise us with the different models that have been taking to start with this year, the best thing is that they are teams that offer a large number of features to have a more complete TV.\u00a0Today we go to the mid-range, where we find the Samsung AU8005\u00a0a truly interesting option.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first drawbacks we find is that being new models have slightly higher costs, which can complicate your purchase, however, we must accept that the\u00a0Samsung 4K UHD 2021 AU8005\u00a0is worth it.\u00a0However, to ensure that we must learn more about both the good and the bad it offers.<\/p>\n<h2>Exterior design of the Samsung 4K UHD 2021 65AU8005<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_77216\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

splendid design that stands out for offering us a fairly slim style<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>We started the analysis of the\u00a0Samsung UE65AU8005KXXC strong\u00a0, since one of its main attractions is that it presents a different design than what we are used to, therefore, it\u00a0will attract more attention\u00a0.\u00a0Of course, we must consider that we are talking about a large model that due to its dimensions must have a correct space for its location.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Samsung-AU8005.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

will notice an excellent integration regardless of the environment or the decoration of the room where it is positioned.\u00a0The most beautiful is in its front that implements thin bezels that are perfect to offer greater elegance, in addition,\u00a0they give it a modern touch from any angle\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>This accompanied by its black color gives it a better presence that continues when turning the television over and seeing that its back is totally thin, that is,\u00a0they eliminate all traces of a more exposed thickness\u00a0.\u00a0With this we will get a cleaner view and that will be better if we decide to place the TV directly on the wall.<\/p>\n<h3>Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>The reality is that few connectors are included, however, it seems that they have only decided to include those that are really going to be used, it depends on your needs if it will be a negative point or not.\u00a0We have three\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs\u00a0that are essential for connecting different external devices that are compatible, for example laptops, consoles and players.\u00a0We also have two\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0ports\u00a0with the possibility to record content.<\/p>\n<p>Other physical connections that we are going to find are its\u00a0digital output for audio\u00a0, its\u00a0satellite input\u00a0and an\u00a0RF\u00a0input\u00a0, likewise, we have a variety of tuners that turn out to be important in the same way.\u00a0Let&#8217;s talk about wireless, which adds important high-value options such as its\u00a0Wi-Fi\u00a0connection\u00a0that offers us the use of the internet at a distance, it also has\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0to use some devices without having to connect any cables.<\/p>\n<h2>Image quality and general functions of the Samsung AU8005<\/h2>\n<p>If something makes the\u00a0Samsung UE65AU8005\u00a0interesting, it\u00a0is that it presents a fairly acceptable image quality that is great to enjoy any content.\u00a0To begin with, we are going to find that it offers a 4K resolution that turns out to be very common in the mid-range,\u00a0and that seeks to give us more precise\u00a0and\u00a0realistic details\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>This definition is accompanied by an\u00a0LED\u00a0panel\u00a0that we must accept is the weakest in this regard, since it does not offer the necessary power to keep the TV in very dark or bright places, therefore,\u00a0the location ends up playing an important role\u00a0.\u00a0However, in this case it does not affect as much because enhancement technologies have been included.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most important we find\u00a0Motion Xcelerator\u00a0that offers us more fluid scenes, since it adds more frames to have more precise content.\u00a0For its part,\u00a0Contrast Enhancer\u00a0focuses directly on the contrast and exposes it more clearly.\u00a0Although that is also achieved with the implementation of\u00a0HDR10 +\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound<\/h3>\n<p>It will not be brilliant audio, in fact, we can consider it as another weak point, and we do not say it because the experience is bad, however,\u00a0it has no comparison with the performance it offers in other sections\u00a0.\u00a0The problem here is the power of two speakers that barely reach 20W, although we cannot complain because it is normal.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, some enhancement functions are added to make the final experience even better, here we highlight that it has\u00a0Dolby Digital Plus\u00a0and\u00a0Adaptive Sound\u00a0for a more enveloping and clean result, especially to hear the dialogues clearly.\u00a0For its part,\u00a0Multiroom Link\u00a0seeks to provide an audio output that covers every space in the room.<\/p>\n<h2>Samsung AU8005 Software \/ Smart TV Review and More<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_77217\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-77217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We have an excellent system that offers us various functions to enjoy more of the television<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The\u00a0Samsung AU8005\u00a0offers us\u00a0Tizen\u00a0in its latest update, in addition, this system is based on Linux, therefore, we will have good optimization and security.\u00a0As if that were not enough, an intuitive platform is also added that seeks to put everything in a simpler way,\u00a0so any user can interact with it\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main advantages that we find is that it has an interesting catalog of applications that offers us the most popular ones such as\u00a0Netflix\u00a0,\u00a0Prime Video\u00a0,\u00a0YouTube\u00a0,\u00a0Disney +\u00a0and\u00a0Apple TV\u00a0.\u00a0Obviously there will be more options that we can install, but it already depends on the things you want to do inside the TV and if they are applications that suit you.<\/p>\n<p>Another option that we cannot forget is\u00a0Apple AirPlay 2\u00a0that works excellently to transmit photos, music and videos from an iPhone or iPad.\u00a0Likewise, we can control certain functions of the\u00a0Samsung 4K UHD 2021 65AU8005\u00a0using\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0,\u00a0Alexa\u00a0and\u00a0Bixby\u00a0.\u00a0As you can see, we have a fairly complete system.<\/p>\n<h2>Samsung AU8005: Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wpsm-one-half wpsm-column-first\">\n<div class=\"wpsm_pros\">\n<div
