"Experience the incredible colour-rich realism of the 4K HDR picture with Samsung's MU8000. Stunningly clear 4K Ultra HD resolution combines with HDR 1000 to achieve staggering levels of detail, brightness and contrast. Samsung's Dynamic Crystal Colour tech injects all your content with beautifully lifelike colour, while Ultra Black achieves the same level of clarity in the darkest shades, in even the brightest viewing condition. Access a world of online entertainment via Samsung's Smart Hub, and control all compatible devices via one remote control. With elegant 360 design, this set will revolutionise your home entertainment.
HDR 1000 with Dynamic Crystal Colour
Samsung are one of the forerunners of colour-boosting High Dynamic Range (HDR). As members of the UHD Alliance, they've engineered HDR 1000, indicating up to 1000 nits of shimmering brightness, to give a glorious glow that will knock your socks off. Usually, studios are forced to dilute the colour of their shows and films to fit on our TVs. Now, HDR screens like the MU8000 can channel content from studio-to-living room with the same precision and utterly otherworldly hues. HDR 1000 achieves exceptional brightness, shadow detail and vibrant colour. It's heightened further by their Dynamic Crystal Colour technology. This tech delivers over a billion hues, 64 times more than conventional UHD. This makes shades sharper, the image deeper, and colours crystal-clear and lifelike. Plus the screen's Supreme UHD Dimming achieves more realistic shadow detail and contrast too. Being able to independently adjust tone, brightness and sharpness in a thousand tiny zones around the screen gives a staggeringly realistic picture quality.
4K UHD with upscaling
The MU8000's Certified Ultra HD 4K resolution screen takes you to the next level of viewing experience. Four times the number of pixels of 1080p Full HD delivers stunning realism, natural motion and incredible detail. Experience this high-spec picture on everything you watch thanks to 4K upscaling. Samsung's innovative upscaling technology converts lower resolution content to a level of detail near UHD. Meanwhile the brand's Supreme Motion, combining stunning image-processing speeds, backlight technology and a super fast frame rate, ensures even the very fastest action is of the highest clarity and judder-free.
Ultra Black, Precision Black
Precision Black technology ensures there is just as much stunning detail in the dark, shadowy scenes. Stunning levels of contrast mean the deepest, dark blacks are equally delivered alongside such amazing levels of beautiful brightness. Ultra Black makes sure these deep shades can always be enjoyed, even in the brightest viewing conditions, through significantly reduced light reflection.
Samsung Smart Hub
Now faster, with ultra-high definition streaming, catch-up and games services, is the latest Smart Hub platform. This quick and easy platform marks a massive step forward for the connected home. Access the latest apps to experience the best UHD content from Netflix and Amazon*. You can even browse content easily, searching for your favourite programmes and movies while you are still watching TV. Powering the seamless interaction is the powerful Quad Core processor which significantly boosts performance with faster access to Smart features. Enjoy super-fast response times, as you use and toggle between apps, online services and live TV with ease. You can even use voice control by engaging S Voice on the remote.
One Remote
Get rid of the clutter of multiple controls. The Samsung One Remote can control all your compatible devices for seamless multi-tasking. So with compatible components you can switch channels on your set-top box, adjust the volume on the sound bar, or surf the web on the big screen, all via one controller.
360 Design and Clean Cable Solution
Minimalistic silver 360 Design looks stunning from any angle, with a clean back panel, for an eye-catching look that enhances any viewing setting. In keeping with the elegant aesthetic, connecting cables run down through legs of the stand, removing unsightly clutter from your living room and complementing a supremely refined look.

Perfect partners
With TVs getting slimmer and built-in speakers getting smaller, choosing the right sound system is more important than ever. Soundbars enhance your TV’s sound quality and add that extra audio punch to all your movies, games and TV programmes. More affordable and easier to set up than a full size speaker system, they don’t compromise on quality either.
Take a look at our full range of soundbars.
Don't forget...
If you want to connect your TV to a blu-ray player, games console, soundbar or soundbase then you'll need a HDMI cable.
