Samsung DU8000 Reddit Verdict: Decent TV or Budget Trap?

Where are you getting it is 120Hz? It isn't. If you read the specs it is 60Hz.

From what I'm aware it's a 50/60hz panel so can't do 120hz. Samsung site for the 43du8000 says the same.

Ok I didn't want to check the exact TV model number but I did anyways, that TV is 60hz it can't run 120.

It's garbage. Literally the worst model Samsung makes. Can't buy a good 85" with that budget.

That TV model only supports up to 60 fps for GeForce NOW.

If it were me I'd get some nice tower speakers, a center channel and an AVR to hook up to the Sammy by HDMI. Start at 3.0 and expand as budget and desire are available.

Why You Shouldn't Buy 2024 Samsung DU7200, DU8000, DU9000, Q60D, Q70D, Q80D, QN85D, or QN90D — there are dedicated guides on this.

The reason people are going to say don't buy Samsung is due to the processor, quality of build, and the god awful operating system they use.

LCD is a display technology, LED is a lighting technology and display technology. Most modern LCD displays use LED backlights instead of legacy fluorescent.

That's an unfortunate mistake. Samsung's website says it's 60hz. You may be able to get a refund from Target or whatever you bought it.

I can see on the Walmart site it does say the panel is 120hz, but Samsung site states 60hz. If you have just bought it I'd return it and bring up that you've been missold.

The specs they show online says the refresh rate is 60 hz.

You got scammed brah

Hot Trash

I honestly had no idea Sony was the gold standard. I figured Samsung because I never had a bad experience with any of my other TVs but now I'm just wondering if I'm setting a low bar because I've become accustomed to shit quality.

I detest Samsung. Every Samsung product I've used has failed. TV, tablet, refrigerator, stove, etc. Never again.

Samsung entry models are good enough for most people on a budget. They wouldn't sell thousands of them in all of the major retail outlets if it was bad TV.

To access the diagnostic statistics overlay in GeForce Now on a Samsung TV, long-press the Start button on your game controller during a game session to open the GeForce Now menu, then select the Statistics option to toggle it on. The overlay will tell you exactly how many FPS your game is getting.

I love it, people using TVs to play PC games. It's like they come from console and have no clue how limited they've been this whole time.

I just loved the convenience of console — not installing anything or worrying about hardware compatibility. But now I run GeForce out of a mini PC plugged to my TV. No more choosing between quality and performance mode has been a dream come true.

I play on the same Samsung screen, but when I get lag, it's only because of cloud gaming.

I don't have any Xbox but I'm seeing results that say the Series S only runs 1440p at 120. 4K will only run at 60.

Many TVs that are 120hz will only be 120hz on specific inputs. Your TV doesn't appear to be one of them.

I bought this TV with the purpose of running 120 Hz with my new Xbox Series S, but when I switch it to 120 it says the TV can't do it.
