It’s not a top-of-the-line Samsung and is most definitely a plastic-y build, but the TU8000 for the most part manages to pull off the look of one. It’s a voice remote that works with apps like YouTube when you are in a search bar, and also functions as a smart Assistant with Google Assistant, Bixby, or Amazon Alexa (whichever you choose at setup). I appreciate how small it is while still giving me all I need to enjoy content. The voice remote that ships with the TU8000 is just like other modern Samsung remotes, with a slim and curved profile that houses only absolutely necessary buttons. There are also some grooves in the back of the television that can be used to tuck the cable into, but it doesn’t stay particularly well and the power cable is pretty short too, which additionally limits your options here.
You can hide the cable and clasps pretty well, but it’s certainly not perfect and I was left wishing for a better solution here. They are light plastic clips that sit on the backs of the TV’s feet and don’t feel particularly sturdy and are also pretty unattractive, which is a bummer considering how good the rest of this TV looks from the front. I am less than enthused about those aforementioned cable management claps, though. Once up and on your media stand, the TV feels secure and stable. Those feet are plastic and don’t have the nicest feel to them, but they look fine from a distance and definitely get the job done. No screwdriver required, the feet just slip into position and hold in place. With only the remote, its batteries, two feet, two cable management clasps, and a power cable, this Samsung was gratefully easy to get out of the box and put together. I always appreciate a television that ships with the need for minimal setup, and the TU8000 delivers in that regard. For what is clearly a budget-friendly television, Samsung has packed the TU8000 with a lot of expectations. Samsung also promises a top-tier upscaling 4K system thanks to its 4K processing and an Auto Game Mode that it claims optimizes the screen and minimizes input lag.
