Are Samsung Holiday TV Sales Already in Progress?

both mfg/models have own apologists
I would try to watch both of them same time to see a difference what your eyes could find

as to the price, I recal seen a trend for many models at site with funny name like camelcamelcamel

 

I've tried the LGs and all I have are Samsungs. That 8000 should be just what you want. Reasonable price for it, too.

 

If I was buying a new TV to watch SD content, I would buy a 720p or 1080p TV.
This is closer to the content you will feed to it and does not manipulate the pixels near as much as a 4k TV. Many of the Sports use 720p for filming.

I have a 4k TV and refuse to watch SD content on it.

 

I have a QLED, a Q90R. The PQ is much better than my "normal" 4K Samsungs (65" JS8500, 60" KS8000, 65" NU8000, 55" MU9000, 55" MU8000). With Samsungs, the higher the model number, the better the set. So, you're comparing the worst QLED to an 8000. Probably not the best comparison, a better comparison would be the Q60 to a TU6000. Or a QLED Q80 to an 8000. If you compare a Q60 to a 6000 you'd see a different opinion about motion handling. I'd think the Q60 would be much better.

Looking at Best Buy's website, the 65" and below TU8000's are only discounted $22 right now. Since this TV is only $350, I don't think you'll see a $100 discount, but you might get a $50 if you wait and watch it. To me, a $22 discount means it's not really on sale. The downside is that you may spend more time looking for that extra $20 than it's worth. If you were talking about one of the higher end 65" or better guys, I'd say wait. Those sale's tend to range between $200-$500. So it's worth it to hold out for the sale.

My son has the 50" version of the TU8000 and he really likes it. Granted, the only thing he uses it for is his Xbox. I like it because it replaced a 55" Panasonic Plasma and I can finally stand in his room without sweating. I think my A/C bill may have dropped as well

 

Once upon a time, I had ten plasmas in my house. Didn't have to use the furnace much in the winter.

I know I'm a dinosaur but I like my Panasonic plasma ST50 (2012) sure it
runs warm and uses more electricity but I like the picture. I've picked up a couple of them on Ebay for less than $200 lol

 

I thought the plasmas were the best sets out there. Then I got a 4K set and...

..and toss all plasma TV into big trash container

 

Gave some away and took the rest to the dump. About ten grand down the drain.

OMG !
Now, I understand what means be a rich man !

 

I am Rich, I am not rich.

Rich

 

duh! :facepalm:

 

I did lose money during the year I swapped plasmas for 4K sets. After getting the first 4K set I couldn't watch the plasmas. I had no idea that was gonna happen. I'm afraid of the 8K sets.

very small niche ... source of 8K - streaming [and may be some 8K Blu-ray plaeyrs]
