Samsung has included a range of connection ports including three HDMI and two USB ports. Why not link up a games console or soundbar to help you make the most of the UHD screen? You can even connect to the television via Bluetooth. And, you can control your TV with your voice using Bixby, Google Assistant or Alexa. A sense of value is absolutely critical to the Samsung BU8500. It exists to make sure that you can get lots of the latest features for a low price, or to give you the chance to upgrade to a larger screen while still keeping within your budget.

The TV’s build quality is pretty respectable for such an affordable TV, too. It’s fair to say that by the time you’ve added to the mix an ultra-trim rear, a super-slim frame around the screen and a cool, minimalist finish, the UE50AU8000 ends up looking like it’s worth comfortably more than it costs.This is a 4K LED screen, powered by Samsung’s ‘Crystal 4K’ processor and with support for HLG and HDR10+ standards of HDR (we’re used to Samsung refusing to offer support for Dolby Vision, but it never stops being galling). With Samsung's Advanced SolarCell One Remote, you can easily operate all of your compatible devices, including Netflix, YouTube, gaming consoles, and a Soundbar with Smart Hub. The SolarCell One Remote may now be fueled by interior lighting and is partially made of recycled plastic. It's even smart enough to harvest electricity from Wi-Fi network radio frequencies in your home, so you'll never need disposable batteries again.
You’ll never struggle for something to watch again with the integrated TV service on the UE50BU8000KXXU. There’s also a range of apps and catch-up services on this Tizen powered smart TV, including: Discover Samsung’s Crystal UHD display on the UE50BU8000KXXU. With four times more clarity than Full HD TVs, you’ll enjoy image quality so real it will feel like you’re actually there. Many countries receive market-specific variations of television, of course, due to differences in broadcast standards and so on – so at present there’s no confirmation of what the equivalent Samsung screen will be in other territories. What we can be certain of, though, is that both the United States and Australia will be getting a range of competitively priced, competitively specified Samsung 4K LED TVs that are more than a little reminiscent of the BU8500 series.The Samsung BU8500's ports are largely easy to access. (Image credit: Future) Samsung BU8500 review: Features Motion looks reasonably natural too, once you’ve swapped the over-enthusiastic, noisy-looking Auto Picture Clarity setting for a calmer Custom mode where Judder Reduction is set to around three or four. There does seem to be a little more residual resolution loss in areas of fine detail during camera pans than we’d typically expect from a Samsung TV, but overall it’s still a good effort. The Samsung BU8500 is impressively slim, but this does limit what its speakers can do. (Image credit: Future) Samsung BU8500 review: Sound quality
Slim chassis, great spec and very agreeable picture performance is all well and good – but when it comes to audio performance, the Samsung BU8500 sounds like an affordable flatscreen TV of the old school. And that’s not necessarily a good thing.
The Samsung BU8500 is on sale now, though at the time of writing this particular model is available in Europe and some other countries, but hasn't been announced for North America or Australia (though it is available in New Zealand). Here, too, the 50AU8000 flatters to deceive. At first listen it seems to produce a pleasingly wide soundstage, filled busily by lots of subtle detail. Certainly things feel more ‘hi-fi’ than you might typically expect from an affordable 50-inch TV. Percentage luminance drop at 20 degree vertical angle from the centre of the screen with 50% white output Intuitive smart tv OS powered by Tizen with an abundance of apps including Netflix, Prime, Disney+ & BT Sport. If everything we watched on TV happened to be bright, the 50AU8000 would work just fine. Its pictures skew brighter than usual for such an affordable TV, and this joins forces with some serious colour punch to really sell the HDR dream when you’re watching really light images.
Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying a live scene and white square taking up 60% of the screen (measured in Nits) There are limits to the amount of ‘designing’ that can be done to a TV at the best of times, and ‘the best of times’ most certainly does not include a mainstream range of aggressively priced televisions designed to appeal to as many folk as possible. So the BU8500 is an unremarkable looker.
Samsung delivers another affordable 4K TV hit
Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying small white square taking up 10% of the screen (measured in Nits) Q-Symphony synchronises sound from your TV and your compatible Samsung Q-Series Home Theater Soundbar for a truly immersive surround sound experience that immerses you in the action. Accessibility (Enlarge / High Contrast / Multi-output Audio / Color Inversion / Grayscale / Sign Language Zoom / Slow Button Repeat) Featuring Dynamic Crystal Colour, all your favourite content will be displayed in crystal clear, lifelike colour. With over one billion shades, which is 64 times more than conventional UHD TVs, you’ll get rich, vibrant pictures for your complete viewing pleasure.
