Over the past few years, Samsung's 8 Series has become a great choice for users to balance performance and price. Samsung BU8000 and TU8000 TVs are both based on LCD display technology with 4K resolution. The former one was the 2022 new model (see Samsung BU8000 review) while the latter one was launched in 2020. Is the new one always better than the old one? Here we will compare Samsung BU8000 vs TU8000, let's peek into what's different between them.

Samsung BU8000 VS TU8000: What's in common?​


Both the Samsung BU8000 and TU8000 TVs feature Samsung's Crystal LCD UHD panel technology and feature an easy-to-use, minimalist design, a choice of built-in voice assistants and a best-in-class smart TV system.

What's more, Samsung BU8000 and TU8000 TVs have only three HDMI ports, two USB, a composite video input, an RF antenna input for terrestrial TV, CI slots and an Ethernet port for when wi-fi can't cut it. There's also an optical output for pushing audio to the bar. Of course, both TVs have pretty much every on-demand service you could want present, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, NowTV, YouTube, and Disney Plus.

Samsung BU8000 VS TU8000: What's different?​

1. Appearance​

Although the frames of the Samsung BU8000 and TU8000 TVs are made mostly of plastic, they are still well-made. The difference is that Samsung uses a wide leg stand on the TU8000, which seems to take up more space. The Samsung BU8000, on the other hand, has a somewhat smaller triangular stand. Also, Samsung has made some changes in the thickness of the TV. The new Samsung BU8000 is an AirSlim design, which is very thin, while the TU8000 is also flat, but has a thicker body volume. This can be clearly seen from their side view.

The difference is that the BU8000 adds a 60-inch model, which is missing from the 2020 range. If that's what you want, then you're very lucky to have it.

The Samsung BU8000 is a decent gaming TV thanks to its low input lag, but it has a slow response time and no advanced gaming features.

Its high contrast ratio produces deep, uniform blacks, so it's great for watching movies in dark rooms. However, it's just decent for watching sports or TV shows in a bright room, as it doesn't get very bright, and it struggles with glare in bright rooms.
