Our take on the Samsung UE65U8020H

The Samsung UE65U8020H is a 65-inch 4K UHD LED television built around Samsung's Crystal Processor 4K, which upscales lower-resolution content and tunes color, sharpness and contrast. It supports HDR for brighter highlights and deeper dark scenes, and runs the Tizen smart platform with the major streaming apps. It suits people who want a big-screen 4K set for films, sport and casual gaming without stepping up to QLED or OLED. Against those step-up models it gives up peak brightness, wide viewing angles and deep blacks, but it covers the basics well for a bright living room.

Questions and answers

Is the Samsung UE65U8020H good for movies and sport?

Yes. The 65-inch 4K panel and HDR give films a big, detailed picture, and the Crystal Processor keeps fast sport sharp. Black levels are limited by the LED backlight, so dark scenes look less deep than on QLED or OLED sets.

Does it have a 120 Hz panel for gaming?

No. This is a 60 Hz-class 4K set without the high-refresh and variable-refresh features of Samsung's gaming-focused models. It handles casual console play fine but is not aimed at competitive gaming.

What is the difference from Samsung's QLED models?

QLED sets add a quantum-dot layer for higher brightness and wider color, plus better local dimming on step-up models. The U8020H is a standard LED set, so it is dimmer and has weaker contrast but covers the same 4K and smart features.

Which streaming apps does it support?

It runs Samsung's Tizen smart platform, which carries the major streaming services and Samsung TV Plus. App availability can vary by region, so check the local app list before buying.

What comes in the box?

You get the television, its stand, a remote control and the power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.

Is 65 inches right for my room?

A 65-inch screen suits a viewing distance of roughly 2.5 to 3 meters for mixed 4K viewing. In a smaller room a 55-inch set may be more comfortable.
