Smart-Review Commentary: For 2018, The Premium 75-inch UN75NU8000 4K TV is Samsung’s fifth generation of Flat LED 4K TVs and comes fully loaded. It has premium features not seen in Samsung’s entry level TVs. HDR (high dynamic range) is the newest feature for 2018, and will greatly improve picture quality for those 4K sources that provide HDR. 4K Ultra HD resolution will give you 8 megapixels of screen, versus only 2 megapixels in regular HD. This is the future of TVs and in the next couple of years, 4K will be the new standard, just as 1080p TVs are now. 4K Ultra HD is the same resolution as the movie theater, and will give you a more immersive experience, as the pixels are 4 times smaller, and you can sit much closer to the TV.

Native 4K content is just emerging. Native 4K Blu-ray players have been introduced. Netflix and Amazon already have 4K content and more is on the way. This TV comes with the latest 4K standards: including HDMI 2.0a , and HEVC (h.265) / VP9 decoding decoder built-in. These will allow high speed 4K (60fps) and 4K Streaming. The NU80000 Series 4K TVs have been upgraded to 802.11ac Dual Band WiFi, the latest wireless standards to support streaming 4K video. Other notable premium features are a Quad Core Processor, Motion Rate 240, HDR Plus, and UHD Dimming. Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming to speakers or headphones. SmartView 2.0 allows you to view content from your Smartphone or Tablet. The NU8000 4K Series comes with a Smart One Remote with Bixby voice control. The UN75NU8000 4K has very good reviews, a great picture, many high end features, is a great value for the money, and is a SmartReview Top Pick for 2018.
