Our take on the Samsung UN43DU8000
The Samsung UN43DU8000 is a 43-inch 4K LED TV in Samsung's 2024 DU8000 lineup. It uses an edge-lit panel without local dimming, so black levels and contrast are modest compared with mini-LED or OLED sets. It runs Tizen with a full app library and supports AirPlay, Miracast, Alexa, Google Assistant and SmartThings. Reviewers call it a solid budget pick for bright rooms and everyday viewing, but note that HDR impact is limited and off-angle picture quality is average.
- Sharp 4K resolution with support for HDR10+ and HLG
- Tizen smart platform with a wide app selection and smooth navigation
- AirPlay, Miracast, Alexa, Google Assistant and SmartThings built in
- Low input lag and VRR support for casual gaming
- Slim profile and VESA mount compatibility for flexible placement

Questions and answers
- Is the Samsung UN43DU8000 worth it?
- For a small, budget 4K TV, yes. It offers Samsung's smart platform and good connectivity, but don't expect deep blacks or bright HDR.
- Does it have local dimming?
- No. The DU8000 uses an edge-lit panel without local dimming, so contrast is limited compared with mini-LED or full-array sets.
- Can I mount it on a wall?
- Yes. It is VESA mount compatible and weighs 18.5 lb without the stand, so a standard wall mount works.
- What is included in the box?
- The TV, a stand, a remote, and a power cable are included. HDMI and other cables are not.
- Does it support AirPlay and voice assistants?
- Yes. It supports AirPlay, Miracast, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Samsung SmartThings.
- Is it good for gaming?
- It supports VRR and has low input lag, so it's fine for casual gaming, but it lacks advanced features like 120Hz refresh rate.
