2. Similarities between Samsung DU8000 and CU8000

2.1. Appearance design

In terms of design appearance, both Samsung DU8000 and Samsung CU8000 are almost no different, their physical size is similar because they both apply Air Slim structure and if only viewed from the front, we can hardly tell the difference. Which is the 2023 TV model and which is the 2024 TV model?

At the back, too, we have a large plastic panel finished with beautiful faux-metal scratches. And the connection module is also arranged in the same position, it includes 2 USB ports, 3 HDMI ports, LAN port, Optical and antenna port.

Even the wireless connection of these two lines does not have any upgrades, both use Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.2.

Honestly, for new product lines, what we want is always changes compared to the previous generation (regardless of whether the effect is good or bad). But with these two lines, users will probably be a little disappointed, because they are 100% similar in physical parameters. Anyway, at least Samsung still ensures we have a good-looking, fashionable 4K LED TV, rich connectivity and good wireless signal for daily use.

2.2. Sound quality

In addition to appearance design, from sound configuration to sound quality between Samsung DU8000 and CU8000 is almost ‘copy-paste’. Both use the most basic speaker configuration of 2 channels, each channel has a capacity of 10W.

Basically, thanks to Samsung’s leading sound calibration capabilities, this sound system works quite well. For everyday use, it delivers clear mid and treble sounds and clear dialogue. As for listening to music or watching movies, because of the low power, the bass is a bit weak and thin.

Additional technologies such as Object Tracking Sound (OTS), Adaptive Sound and Q-Symphony are similar. In particular, although the speaker power is a bit low, OTS can still provide quite good multi-dimensional simulation effect for closed or not too spacious spaces, and Adaptive Sound provides a very rich sound experience with each content viewed.

3. Comparison of display quality: Samsung DU8000 is better!

Despite having the same physical parameters and software technology, in terms of display, the Samsung DU8000 gives completely superior results to its predecessor.

First, it will corrode to sharpness. Both have 4K resolution and are equipped with the line’s signature Crystal 4K processor. However, on the DU8000 generation, Samsung has added AI artificial intelligence to calibrate input images faster and more accurately. Especially the upscaling ability on the DU8000 achieves higher detail, more vivid colors and better contrast.

In addition, DU8000 also supports HDR content more effectively, the brightness is significantly increased compared to CU8000 and highlights dark and light colors. With the same display content, DU8000 will give better frame depth and more vividness.

Regarding image smoothness, both use Motion

Finally, another big advantage of the DU8000 compared to the CU8000 is that in the 85-inch version, Samsung has specially added to it a 120Hz refresh rate.

4. Additional features and utilities: Samsung DU8000 has the edge!

Regarding additional features, these two Samsung TV models are generally “eight ounces, half a pound” because the operating system platform and accompanying features and utilities are identical. Include:

• Tizen OS 8.0 operating system
• Samsung Gaming Hub
• AI Energy
• Smart Things
• Samsung Knox Security
• Samsung TV Plus
• Solarcell Remote

However, on DU8000 2024, Samsung has added something very new, called Samsung Daily+. According to Samsung, this is an application ecosystem for users to manage their daily activities and lifestyle comfortably. In this ecosystem will include features such as Smart Things, Samsung Health, Workspace…

5. Samsung DU8000 and Samsung CU8000: Which line is better value for money?

From the comparisons above, it is clear that Samsung DU8000 has a few small advantages compared to Samsung CU8000. To be honest, the difference between them is not much, CU8000 still has very nice display capabilities, it’s just that DU8000 is even more beautiful. And for a TV used for entertainment, nothing is more important than image quality. Simply put, whichever TV displays better is worth buying.

However, no matter what you say, the Samsung CU8000 is still not overshadowed by the ‘aura’ of the DU8000. It’s still one of the best options in the entry-level price segment today, and compared to the DU8000, its price is cheaper.

Take the 43-inch version, for example. The newly launched Samsung 43DU8000 has a selling price of about 11.9 million VND, while the Samsung 43CU8000 costs only 9.8 million VND. The difference of up to 2.1 million VND is really a factor to consider for many people at this time. Because with the extra money, we can buy a soundbar to supplement the sound performance of the TV.

Anyway, the choice is still up to you.
