SeekerSamsung AU8000
The Samsung AU8000 is a decent TV overall. It looks best in a dim or dark room for watching movies, as it has a high contrast that delivers deep, uniform blacks. It has great reflection handling, so it's also decent for watching shows or sports in a bright room as it can handle some glare. It's a decent gaming TV thanks to its low input lag, but it has a slow response time and no advanced gaming features. Unfortunately, it has a narrow viewing angle, so it's not a good choice for a wide seating arrangement. HDR also adds very little as it doesn't have a local dimming feature to improve the dynamic range, and it can't display a wide color gamut.
