The construct high quality can also be spectacular. The thin chassis is not accompanied by a monstrous quantity of bending or flexing, and there is simply sufficient weight to sign the usage of a lot heavier-duty supplies than the light-weight plastics that sometimes dominate at this value stage. The BU8500 ships in the Standard mode, which as usual is too bright, has colours that are oversaturated and introduces an excess of blue into the grayscale. Thankfully, switching to the Filmmaker mode immediately produces greater accuracy, with a greyscale that measures an average Delta E (error) of 1.6, which is well below the visible threshold of three. The TV supports Dolby Audio. Dolby Atmos can be streamed via the included eARC to any Dolby Atmos soundbar or dedicated sound system. This year, DTS support is again completely absent, which is a pity. There is Q-Symphony, a feature that can be enabled to pair your TV audio system with a matching soundbar. Connections
The motion performance is generally good for an LCD TV, with the use of a 50Hz refresh rate making sense in the UK. Importantly, the BU8500 handles films in 24p or games in 60Hz without introducing judder or other issues. Picture Clarity offers frame interpolation options, and while good for fast-paced sports such as football, should be avoided when watching films and TV dramas. Unfortunately, the sort of content the system typically promotes tends to be of niche interest, to say the least, and navigating through the menus and between the Smart interface and the TV set-up menus can be frustratingly unintuitive. The good news is that aside from not supporting Freeview Play, the UE43BU8000’s smart system is outstandingly rich in apps and video streaming content. All the most popular streaming services are present and correct (including the individual catch-up apps of the UK terrestrial TV services typically found within the Freeview Play app), and all deliver 4K and high dynamic range (HDR) where a service provider carries them. Motion is solid enough with the Picture Clarity settings, although movement can invoke a little judder with fast-moving content – the TU7020 has a less than grippy hold on NFL players when they’re grappling with each other. There is a slight but noticeable artefact that pops up across multiple sources, a slight purple outline around bodies in motion. You'll find that most of the TVs on this list are 2022 models. That's because our recommendations are based on a performance-per-pound mantra, so buying a TV that's been out for a little while and has therefore been thoroughly discounted is almost always a better decision than going for a brand new model that might be excellent but is still full price. The 43AU7100 isn’t as accomplished with its audio as it is with its pictures. It still gets the job done, though, without breaking that sense of consistency that makes it so engaging.In picture terms, there’s really nothing not to like at the price, but it has to be said that the sound is decidedly average, even by the fairly low standards of modern flatscreen TVs. As with the vast majority of sets, we recommend that you also budget for at least a soundbar if you’re going to buy the LG C2. This TV is incredibly slimline, and is designed in the AirSlim method used by the company. This makes it super slim and easy to fit into any corner of the home. It's a TV designed to be watched and to draw the eye. Its thin profile even has a built in cable management system which will reduce clutter and make sure your eyes stay on the screen at all times, so you don't miss a thing. Helps to Make Life Easier In terms of alternatives, LG’s own G2 is the most obvious. In many ways, it’s the same TV, but it goes even brighter thanks to the addition of a heatsink. It also has a picture frame-style ‘Gallery’ design. In fact, it comes with a wall mount rather than a pedestal stand. The G2 is undeniably a better TV than the C2 until you take pricing into account, at which point the C2 becomes the one that most people should actually buy. The UE43AU7100 doesn’t clamour for your attention on a crowded TV shelf or make any claims that it’s taking affordable TVs to places they’ve never gone before. You won’t see it turning up in any future ‘classic TV design’ exhibits, either.
The Samsung BU8500 is impressively slim, but this does limit what its speakers can do. (Image credit: Future) Samsung BU8500 review: Sound quality If you’re after a bigger or smaller 8K TV, the QN900B is also available in 65-inch and 85-inch sizes. We haven’t tested those specific versions but Samsung’s 8K TVs tend to scale up and down very consistently, so we expect them to perform just as well as the 75-inch model tested. Impressively, the UE43BU8000 comes with two distant controls: a typical distant with buttons, which is considerably versatile however really works very nicely, and a plain ‘Good’ distant with a photo voltaic cell on the again, making it simple to vary batteries. There is ALLM – automatic delay reduction mode. Note that with Game Mode enabled, the output latency (input lag) is 11ms. As always, this is an average between 1080p and 4K resolutions, so expect very similar performance regardless of the resolution you play at. Smart TV The sense of distinction is definitely greater on the UE43BU8000, because of the additional brightness it provides to shiny image areas and the much less pronounced bloom points the place an image accommodates a mixture of gentle and darkish content material. However total the UE43AU7100 presents extra balanced and immersive darkish stage efficiency, a minimum of in a comparatively darkish room.

There’s no local dimming either, but that’s probably a sensible decision with an edge-lit TV as, typically, local dimming with edge LEDs results in distracting stripes of light that run across the image. La pantalla tiene un tamaño de 43 pulgadas con unas dimensiones con peana de 965.5 x 599 x 205.6 mm, sin peana de 965.5 x 559.9 x 25.7 mm y un peso de 8,4 kg, siendo compatible con soporte de pared VESA de 200 x 200. Teniendo un panel de iluminación Edge LED con un procesador de imagen Crystal que ofrece una calidad de imagen Ultra HD 4K con colores, brillo y contrastes notables, gracias a las nanopartículas de su paleta de colores de más de 1000 millones y con la compatibilidad con formatos HDR10+, HDR10 y HLG. That’s a positive, though. At a touch over 25mm deep for our 55-inch version, the chassis is enviably slim, and the bezels surrounding the screen are minimal too. It can be wall-mounted, of course. If you don’t fancy that option, though, and would rather stand your new TV on a surface, the Samsung’s feet are usefully close together, so your surface needn’t be as wide as the screen itself. With some top-of-the-shop content on board (and Scorsese’s The Irishman via Netflix remains a revealing watch, even if the Samsung can’t handle the Dolby Vision element), the AU7100 proves a composed, detailed watch with plenty of pertinent observations to makes regarding skin-tone, skin-texture and the general facial condition of the film’s elderly cast. Colours are subtlety differentiated, with plenty of variation available where shadows, patterns and textures are concerned. Of course, we don’t all live on a diet of brand-new cutting-edge content - and when it comes to upscaling, the Samsung (mostly) continues its good work. Certainly an HD broadcast of some elite-level tennis suffers hardly at all – colors are confidently described, on-screen movement is stable in almost all circumstances, and detail levels stay high. There’s a little coarsening of skin-tones and a hint of jaggedness to the more difficult edges, but by and large the BU8500 remains eminently watchable.
Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying small white square taking up 60% of the screen (measured in Nits) The pleasingly upfront quality to the UE43BU8000’s pictures isn’t replicated at all by its audio. On the contrary, it sounds almost painfully thin and low on impact, with practically no forward projection. Everything seems to be happening behind the screen, in some movie world far removed from your own. Of course, the LCD screen can’t compete with an OLED when it comes to performance, but thanks to Samsung’s Crystal Colour tech, which combines a relatively wide-gamut VA panel and potent processing, the pictures are bright and colourful. Native 4K sources look sharp and detailed, plus it does an above-average job of upscaling HD stuff too. HDR10+ assistance helps, but we’re talking subtle amounts here. In Bad Times at the El Royale and The Suicide Squad, colours have a little more depth and range, although the spectacular-looking The Rings of Power appears flat in places – there’s simply not enough contrast, depth or richness in the BU8000’s colours to convey a truly three-dimensional image.
Este procesador de imagen cuenta con un reescalado de imagen a 4K automático, por lo que el contenido de bajara resolución se ve mejorada. Acompañado de la tecnología Motion Xcelerator que mejora las escenas que tienen mucho desenfoques estabilizando los frames y un modo de baja latencia ( ALLM) enfocado más para las consolas, que sin sacar el provecho a las nuevas Playstation 5 y Xbox Series X, podemos darle uso sin problemas pero sin 120 Hz ni AMD FreeSync que traen los modelos superiores de la marca coreana. The UE43AU7100 is built on a Vertical Alignmenttype of LCD panel, with edge LED lighting and a native 4K resolution. It supports the HDR10, HLG and HDR10+ flavours of high dynamic range, but as ever with Samsung, Dolby Vision is not on the menu.
