Samsung U8000H Crystal UHD 4K TV (55") vs FPD 43-inch 4K Google TV

The Samsung U8000H is the better TV for most people. It is larger at 55 inches, has a brighter, more consistent picture, three HDMI ports, HDR10+ and HLG support, and Tizen with Samsung TV Plus and Gaming Hub. The FPD 43-inch is a smaller, dimmer 260-nit panel with only HDR10 and two HDMI ports, but it runs Google TV with Google Assistant built in. Samsung's durability reputation and 4.4 rating from nearly 6,000 owners favor the Samsung; the FPD has little track record.

  • Choose the Samsung U8000H if you want a bigger 55-inch screen, a brighter picture, more HDMI inputs, and a mainstream smart platform with free channels and cloud gaming.
  • Choose the FPD 43-inch if you need a smaller secondary TV for a bedroom or tight space and prefer Google TV's interface and Google Assistant.

  • SoundCriticisedReviewers find the 20 W speakers thin and often add a soundbar.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bright living room?
The Samsung. Its panel is brighter and adds HDR10+ and HLG, while the FPD's 260 nits washes out in daylight.
Which is better for gaming?
Both are 60 Hz. The Samsung has three HDMI ports and Gaming Hub for cloud games; the FPD has two HDMI 2.1 ports and MEMC but a dimmer panel.
Which lasts longer?
Samsung rates itself #1 in durability and the U8000H has a large owner base at 4.4 stars. The FPD has no meaningful reliability record yet.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to over the FPD?
Yes for a main TV. You get a larger screen, better HDR, more inputs and a fuller smart platform. The FPD makes sense only where 43 inches is the limit.
Which has the better smart system?
They are close. Tizen offers Samsung TV Plus and Gaming Hub; Google TV offers Google Assistant and a content-first layout. Pick by which apps and assistant you use.
Do either support Dolby Vision?
No. The Samsung supports HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG; the FPD supports HDR10 only.
