TU8002: Powerful TV at an affordable price"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Lately\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Samsung<\/a>\u00a0has expanded its catalog of televisions and now gives us better equipment for the mid-range, which add better features that can be enough to meet the expectations of almost any user.\u00a0Today we will focus our analysis on a very attractive TV such as the Samsung TU8002.<\/p>\n<h2>Exterior design of the Samsung TU8002<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-79647 size-full lazyloaded\" title=\"We find an interesting design that stands out mainly for giving us a slim style\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/S2-1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-79647\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We find an interesting design that stands out mainly for giving us a slim style<\/p>\n<p>Normally the models of this firm stand out for offering interesting designs regardless of the cost or the range we are talking about.\u00a0In this case it was no exception and we found a good appearance that in our opinion fits quite well with any environment.\u00a0In addition, it\u00a0offers us a good size for medium-sized rooms\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most noteworthy we note that its front has thin bezels that generate greater elegance and presence, likewise, allow the useful space on the screen to be much greater.\u00a0The back has a fine look that we love because it gives us a clean build\u00a0.\u00a0Undoubtedly, aesthetics is a positive point.<\/p>\n<h3>Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>We are given the indispensable connectors that we can use for different activities.\u00a0Here we find three\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs\u00a0that we can use to connect external devices such as laptops, consoles and video players.\u00a0We are also offered two\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0with the possibility to reproduce and record content.\u00a0In the table above you can find the remaining connections.\u00a0At the wireless level we have\u00a0Wi-Fi\u00a0,\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0and\u00a0DLNA\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h2>Image quality and functions in general<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to its Crystal 4K processor, the\u00a0Samsung UE55TU8002K\u00a0will show us a powerful image quality, especially in matters of movement, that is, we will have quite fluid scenes that will have a considerable noise reduction.\u00a0The contrast is also benefited\u00a0and\u00a0we will see it in a sharper state\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>It may be that the biggest problem found is that its panel is\u00a0LED\u00a0and this gives us a slightly weak backlight, especially if we place the TV in very dark or bright areas.\u00a0Therefore, the placement will take more importance.\u00a0We emphasize that it includes support for\u00a0HDR\u00a0that increases the level of expression for better colors and details.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound<\/h3>\n<p>Its audio quality is not entirely positive, and we say this because we have noticed certain problems when listening to more demanding content.\u00a0Of course, some improvement technologies are included such as\u00a0Adaptive Sound\u00a0and\u00a0Dolby Digital Plus\u00a0that seek to give us a more immersive experience, however, their 20W are still a difficulty.<\/p>\n<h2>Smart TV \/ software review and more highlights<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-79648 size-full lazyloaded\" title=\"The performance that your system gives us is quite good and offers us excellent functions for your entertainment\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/S3-1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-79648\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The performance that your system gives us is quite good and offers us excellent functions for your entertainment<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we must talk about Tizen, the system that the\u00a0Samsung UE55TU8002K has\u00a0, since it seems to us one of the best for its optimization and security.\u00a0As if that were not enough, it gives us an interesting application catalog that adds the most popular options of the moment such as\u00a0Netflix\u00a0,\u00a0HBO\u00a0,\u00a0Prime Video\u00a0and\u00a0Disney +\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>It has compatibility with other applications that are also quite useful, for example, it has\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0and\u00a0Alexa\u00a0that allow us to control certain functions using our voice.\u00a0In case you want to transmit content from an iPhone or iPad, we have\u00a0Apple AirPlay 2\u00a0that offers us this possibility with excellent performance.<\/p>\n<p>Another television that has left us good feelings is the\u00a0Samsung UE55AU7175UXXC\u00a0that gives us various features that make it a very careful television.<\/p>\n<h2>Samsung TU8002: Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n<p><strong>PROS<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Good design<\/li>\n<li>Connectivity<\/li>\n<li>Good image quality<\/li>\n<li>Offers
