As you might guess from its slim design, the UE50AU8000 is lit by an edge-mounted LED array. All of which is the same with Samsung’s cheaper AU7100. Where things differ are in the UE50AU8000’s use of Crystal Colour technology, offering a wider gamut than the AU7100’s PurColour system, and its ability to shift around 70 nits or so more brightness. Both of these step-up features have the potential to be a pretty big deal when it comes to the Holy Grail of getting a decent HDR performance out of a very affordable LCD TV. The bad news for the Samsung UE50AU9000 is that it shows just enough weakness when it comes to its handling of very dark scenes and native 4K sharpness to open itself up to challenge by some of the cheaper stars of the budget TV firmament.

Whether or not you think its prowess extends to the performance, though, probably depends on what you most use your TV for. Price The TV’s build quality is pretty respectable for such an affordable TV, too.
