Before starting, know that the Samsung BU8005 is an identical model to the Samsung BU8000 . The only difference is the region of origin of the television, but in terms of aesthetics and functions, they are identical.<\/p>\n

Design and connectivity<\/h2>\n

This TV benefits from the beautiful AirSlim design, so aerodynamic, that\u00a0Samsung<\/a>\u00a0uses more and more in its mid-range.<\/p>\n

In full black, we can see a panel that\u00a0measures 644.6 x 1118.3 x 25.7 mm and weighs 11.5 kg\u00a0.\u00a0Their thinness and overall style make them ideal for hanging on your wall, which we’ll do if you have a\u00a0200 x 200mm VESA\u00a0.\u00a0Otherwise, it has two skinny black legs with an almost flat angle that make the TV\u00a0683.6 x 1118.3 x 228.8 mm\u00a0and weigh\u00a0300 grams more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tuning and connectivity<\/h3>\n

You have\u00a0bluetooth v5.2 and WiFI ac\u00a0to make your wireless connections.\u00a0For the physical, an\u00a0RJ45 jack for internet, optical digital audio output, two USB 2.0, three HDMI 2.0\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Likewise, you have all the connectors that are needed to tune in\u00a0digital DVB-C\/T2, analog NTSC\/PAL\/SECAM, CI+ 1.4 and HbbTV 2.0.3\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Image quality and general functions<\/h2>\n

Its panel is a\u00a030-bit IPS-ADS\u00a0with\u00a0direct LED\u00a0backlight and\u00a0UHD\u00a0resolution .\u00a0We find\u00a050 Hz and the help of 2200 PQI\u00a0to make the moving image as smooth as possible.<\/p>\n

As for compatibility with HDR content, it features fair and sufficient,\u00a0HLG, and\u00a0HDR 10+\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Samsung is, perhaps, together with Sony, the firm that uses the most image enhancement technologies for its models, even when they are not high-end.\u00a0In this case , Micro Dimming UHD, noise reduction, Contrast Enhancer, Mega Contrast, Dynamic Crystal Color, Motion Xceleretor, Clear Motion, brightness detection\u00a0\u00a0and three\u00a0modes: cinema,\u00a0Filmmaker\u00a0and game\u00a0are presented\u00a0.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Remarkable image<\/p>\n

Audio<\/h3>\n

We will hear good audio thanks to a\u00a0common sound power of 20 W\u00a0and compatibility with Dolby up to Dolby MS12 in two channels.<\/p>\n

Very interesting is the amount of audio functions available.\u00a0These go through\u00a0OTS, adaptive sound, dual audio via bluetooth, Q-Symphony, mirroring…<\/p>\n

Software\/smartTV review<\/h2>\n

Its OS is\u00a0Tizen 6.5\u00a0, which looks, in my opinion, better than the competition,\u00a0resembling Android every time\u00a0and with many details the same as this one,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is how you will see the TV when you turn it on<\/p>\n

You have a\u00a0general search engine, a browser, an interface\u00a0totally designed to move around and find everything very easily, functions that can be customized,\u00a0pre-installed apps and a store, Samsung TV Plus\u00a0with thousands of free channels, many accessibility options, use of\u00a0Microsoft in the cloud, compatibility for\u00a0USB webcam,\u00a0triple box assistant\u00a0and option to\u00a0do mirroring\u00a0to see on your Samsung UE50BU8005.<\/p>\n
