Released in 2019, the TV belongs to Samsung's mid-range solutions and is among the top sellers among 65-inch 4K models.
High quality picture
The image on the Samsung UE-65RU8000 is characterized by a high level of detail and excellent contrast (even despite the lack of local dimming). Deep blacks will give you a pleasant experience when watching movies with minimal lighting in the room. Other colours are also distinguished by a good level of uniformity, which will please not only moviegoers, but also fans of sports broadcasts. However it must be borne in mind that the viewing angles of the display are small, so even with a slight deviation from the centre of the screen, the picture becomes dull and blurry.
Additional pleasant emotions will be presented to the viewer by playing HDR content (two standards are supported — HDR 10+ and HLG). Since the peak brightness of the TV is moderate, you should not count on the maximum “wow” effect from viewing the corresponding content.
By the way, the immediate predecessor — Samsung UE-65NU8000 — is slightly brighter, but also more expensive.
Everything for games
The matrix of the model has a refresh rate of 120 Hz (with a software increase of up to 2500 fps), so that dynamic scenes look smooth and without jerks. This aspect is important, both when watching action movies and in the gameplay. Gamers are offered a separate mode with FreeSync support, which is responsible for the excellent synchronization of the video sequence when using a PC with AMD video cards. And an additional advantage for fans of games will be a low input lag (input lag) of up to 15 ms.
Mandatory set
The Samsung UE-65RU8000 is paired with the proprietary Tizen OS, a fast, intuitive and app-rich Smart Shell. In addition to it, a convenient remote control is offered with both Bixby's proprietary voice assistant and other popular services such as Alexa and Google Assistant. AirPlay 2 technology is implemented to broadcast content from "apple" devices and convenient playback control.
The model received a standard 20-watt audio system format 2.0. Slightly disappointing is the lack of support for the DTS audio codec, which will cause the corresponding content to be played without sound. Otherwise, the Samsung UE-65RU8000 is an excellent choice if you need a high-quality picture on a large diagonal for a reasonable price.
