If you’re looking to buy the best affordable 4K TV of 2024, the Samsung DU8000 should be on your radar. Launched not long ago, this is the 2023 CU8000 replacement product line that was very successful in the market and is considered very good value for money.

So, can Samsung DU8000 inherit the advantages of Samsung CU8000? And what distinctive features will it have? In this article, Websosanh.vn will analyze this new popular Samsung TV line so you can have a more multi-dimensional view of the product, thereby considering whether to buy it for your family or not.

1. Samsung DU8000 design: Marking a new generation!

This year’s Samsung DU8000 TV series basically has an appearance that has not changed much compared to its predecessor. It also applies the Air Slim design to achieve an ultra-thin size of only 2.6cm, making it one of the thinnest popular TVs we can find on the market.

The TV material used is still plastic, but with Samsung’s perfect processing quality, there aren’t too many mistakes that we can blame. Because after all, this is just a popular product line.

Seen from the front, the Samsung DU8000 shows absolute class and sophistication with an ultra-thin frame combined with a black screen border inside that is only 0.9cm thick. With this combination, we will have the most optimal display space on all sizes of the Samsung D8000. But it’s a bit unfortunate that this TV line doesn’t have Ambient Mode+, otherwise its aesthetic value would be much higher.

The TV stand is T-shaped, also made of plastic. It is special in that it can change 2 heights to better suit the room’s display style. The first rung, the bottom edge of the screen will be about 7.8cm away from the table surface, suitable for placing a soundbar, while the second rung is only about 5.3cm away, giving a better feeling of optimal visibility.

The back of the TV is a large plastic panel, finished with faux metal scratches, so it looks very beautiful and premium. All connection modules are clustered in a small recess on the right side (when viewed from the front), while the power cord is on the left. Also on this back, Samsung has pre-arranged screw holes, so we can use the VESA mount to hang the DU8000 on the wall. With a flat cross-section, when placed close to the wall it will give a better aesthetic effect, and be safer from the mischief of children or pets in the house.

2. Image and sound quality of Samsung DU8000

In terms of specifications, the Samsung DU8000 uses Edge LED technology, 4K resolution, 60Hz refresh rate (except for the 85-inch model which is 120Hz), supports HDR10+ dynamic range, has Motion Xcelerator technology, Contrast Enhancer and upscale images with Crystal 4K processor.

Basically, the specifications of the DU8000 are the same as the CU8000, but the DU8000 will deliver better image quality, especially the ability to display black colors as well as HDR content. Compared to its predecessor and other 4K TV models in the same segment, the maximum brightness of the Samsung DU8000, although still not exceeding 400 nits, is significantly brighter, and the HDR effect in a dark room is extremely impressive with black color. deeper, also less prone to blooming phenomenon (dark areas are not really dark but have halos around them).

4K picture quality is simply outstanding, and the Crystal 4K processor does a great job of upscaling input content whether from USB sources or online applications. For fast-moving content or scenes with lots of detail, every movement becomes smoother thanks to the Motion Xcelerator feature, the image is less blurry than regular 4K TVs.

In particular, the Samsung DU8000 has a great Game mode with an input lag of less than 15 milliseconds. If you have a strong enough PC case or PlayStation gaming console, you can take advantage of this TV.

In terms of sound, the Samsung DU8000 has a standard 2-speaker system below the screen with a capacity of 10W each to deliver louder sound than what we expect from conventional built-in TV speakers.

Overall, the sound quality of this line is good enough, but not impressive. The high and mid range are clear, not distorted, the bass is present but still a bit thin, a common feature of popular price range TVs. The most impressive highlight is still Adaptive Sound technology that can optimize sound for each frame, this technology will bring us a more diverse and richer sound experience.
