Samsung just released its latest line of
value-for-money Smart TVs in the Philippines—the Crystal UHD TV TU8000 (2020)
series. Coming from older-gen Samsung TVs, the new Crystal UHD TV TU8000 (2020)
series sports a modern design with a clean cable solution (not available with
the 43-inch model) to neatly hide cables at the back of the TV, snap-on steady
feet, and an improved display with super-slim bezels (3-Side Bezel-less
Design).
It comes with a new Crystal Display (LED)
with UHD 3840 x 2160 resolution, a wider range of colors versus Samsung
Conventional TV, 4K Upscaling, and Dolby Digital Plus. It also has UHBD
Dimming, Contrast Enhancer, Natural Mode Support, and Film Mode. Inside, the TV
uses the Cyrstal Processor 4K that optimizes colors, contrast ratio, and HDR.
The TV also highlights an Ambient Mode to
allow the screen to blends into your decor seamlessly. You can choose the
wallpaper background and it can display important information like the
weather/time. For audio, it has an improved 2CH 20W speakers with to deliver
really loud and crisp tunes even if you do not have a soundbar.
The TV also has WiFi 5, Bluetooth 4.2, ISDB-T,
3x HDMI, 1x HDMI A, 1x eARC, 1x Composite In (AV), 1x Digital Audio Out
(Optical), 2x USB, 1x Ethernet (LAN), and 1x RF In. It uses the One Remote
Control with mic for voice commands to access Bixby Voice Assistant. The TV

Samsung also highlights its Tap View
feature to cat your Samsung smartphone in a tap on the sides. It also has the
