According to our television expert
With the Samsung UE55NU8000, you won't miss a single detail of your favorite movie, series, or sports match. This UHD Premium television produces sharp images, high brightness, and covers a wide color gamut. In combination with a 100Hz refresh rate, this means every action, such as a passing car or the serve of a tennis player, is depicted smoothly. If you connect the TV to the Internet, you'll be able to access the Samsung Smart Hub. This brings live TV, websites, and useful apps together in a clear menu that lets you quickly switch between your favorite forms of entertainment. Thanks to the included Premium One Remote Control, you can say goodbye to that drawer full of separate remotes, because it allows you to control all connected devices, such as your Blu-ray player and digital decoder.

Unpacking and installing is a breeze. The TV is light and easy to provide with the foot. Thanks to a good cable management system at the back of the TV, you can neatly hide the cable harnesses. A small side note is that a UTP cable or thick HDMI cable must be pressed into the molds with a lot of force and you have to stand behind your TV to easily get this done. So first put your TV on a cabinet against a wall and then get started!
Once connected and turned on you have to go through a wizard. A connection is made to the internet, all your HDMI devices are viewed and automatically recognized. With me, only my Ziggo box was not immediately recognized, which was actually a bit strange since the Horizon box is also made by Samsung. But it could still be recognized manually and a last step was to create a Samsung account or link it to an existing one. The latter takes the most time because the remote control has no QWERTY buttons.
The remote control is very minimal in design. This does not have the buttons that you are normally used to and only the necessary. That seems irritating, but once used for a while, all buttons that you often use are there, for example, to call up a program guide you will still have to reach for an alternative operation or call these via the normal menus of the provider, which is of course cumbersome . What works wonderfully is that if you select a signal with your control, such as the Ziggo box or a Playstation, it switches on automatically and the remote control can also perform certain functions such as request menus and go through, pause, play, back, etc. Actually I'm done. excited about the way this minimal remote works!
Then the TV itself, this is what it's all about. First the audio. This one is more than adequate. With 40 Watts of power, it is more than standard, but you should of course not expect Soundbar or Receiver quality. In terms of screen, this TV has something for everyone. Whether you like popping colors or want to set the balance more warm, set this per input device or for all, there is a setting for everyone and everything looks really beautiful without being overdone.
In terms of sharpness, I do not have to say that UHD 4K is sharp, images that are not 4K also come across as terribly beautiful and sharp and are converted well. One point of attention, with some older films or cartoons you see a certain form of ghosting where images appear strange and move unnaturally. There are some settings in the TV where you can adjust this motion, but I haven't found any setting that completely removes it. Softening is possible and so far it has only been noticeable in certain situations, but it is certainly noticeable.
The TV also has a separate gaming mode where the input lag that is normally present is reduced to the minimum. Based on other reviews, this TV has a very low lag and when playing games there is 0.0 noticeable delay, which I can confirm.
Of course, this TV is also smart. You will find all common and desirable apps that can be installed. The interface looks fast and smooth and the offer is more than adequate without being overwhelming. After 2 weeks of testing, I noticed that my trusty cameraman, the Apple TV, has all but failed to use it on a daily basis. Switching between Netflix, TV, PS4, Plex goes quickly and seamlessly and it seems as if everything is already on in the background and runs so quickly and smoothly.
Highly recommended for people who just don't have the budget for QLED or OLED but want to buy a real high-end TV!

The TV hung flat on the wall and immediately gives a nice look. The image quality is very nice and when you switch it on, you immediately reach the settings and you can easily set the TV. Peripheral equipment is recognized by the TV and these settings are also set by this TV
