Reviews & Ratings
- Good picture with vivid colours
- Best for streaming
- Small perspective
- No headphone output
The CU8079 is much rarer to find on the market than the entry-level CU7179 model, but it's worth looking for: its picture is brighter and its colours are better, but it costs about the same. Typical for Samsung are the very good streaming features and easy handling with the mini remote control.
- Favourable price
- Large selection of streaming apps
- Good picture for standard content
- HDR peak brightness too low
- No timeshift, no USB recording
