Samsung 65″ Crystal UHD Smart TV – 4K, Tizen, HDR10+

Product Overview

The Samsung 65″ Crystal UHD Smart TV (UN65AU8000B) delivers stunning 4K picture quality with vibrant colors and exceptional clarity. This 2021 model combines advanced display technology with intelligent processing to transform your viewing experience. The Crystal Processor 4K works in real-time to upscale lower-resolution content to near 4K quality, ensuring that everything you watch looks crisp and detailed. Whether you’re streaming movies, watching sports, or gaming, this TV adapts to provide the best possible picture for each type of content.

The display features Dynamic Crystal Color technology that produces a wider color spectrum and more natural tones compared to standard LED TVs. With HDR10+ support alongside HLG and standard HDR compatibility, the TV can display content with enhanced brightness, contrast, and color depth. The VA panel with Edge LED backlighting delivers a static contrast ratio of 3800:1, providing deep blacks and bright highlights. The 300 cd/m² brightness level ensures good visibility even in well-lit rooms, while the 178-degree viewing angles allow comfortable viewing from various positions in your living space.

Motion handling is a key strength of this model, powered by Motion Xcelerator technology that minimizes motion blur during fast-paced scenes. This makes it excellent for sports, action movies, and gaming. The TV includes Auto Game Mode (ALLM), which automatically optimizes settings when gaming consoles are detected, reducing input lag for a more responsive gaming experience. LED Clear Motion further enhances motion clarity by reducing ghosting artifacts.

Smart TV functionality is powered by Tizen 6.0, Samsung’s intuitive operating system that provides easy access to popular streaming services through TV Plus and other apps. The TV supports multiple voice assistants including Alexa and Bixby, allowing you to control the TV and smart home devices with voice commands. SmartThings compatibility enables seamless integration with other Samsung smart devices in your home. Features like AirPlay 2 support, DLNA connectivity, and Tap View allow you to mirror content from your mobile devices effortlessly.

Audio is handled by a 2-channel, 20-watt speaker system with Dolby Digital Plus support and Q-Symphony technology. The Adaptive Sound feature automatically adjusts audio levels based on content type, while Object Tracking Sound Lite provides directional audio effects. An optical audio output port allows connection to external soundbars or home theater systems for enhanced audio performance.

Connectivity options are comprehensive, including three HDMI ports (with port 2 featuring eARC for audio return), two USB ports, Ethernet LAN connectivity, Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and Bluetooth 4.2. The TV also includes a terrestrial/RF antenna input for over-the-air broadcasts. The included Samsung OneRemote provides convenient control with a minimalist design that reduces clutter on your coffee table.

The TV features an AirSlim design with a black flat lift stand that provides a modern aesthetic while maintaining stability. The stand has a relatively wide footprint, so ensure your TV stand or entertainment center can accommodate the dimensions. VESA mounting (400×300) is supported for wall installation. With typical power consumption of just 93 watts, this TV is energy-efficient for its size class, and standby consumption is minimal at 0.5 watts.
