sorted byAnd you can find the MU7000 much cheaper than £699, have a look at the very deal posted on hotukdeals or even other deals, mu7000 should be around the £600 mark.
There's almost no difference between them. The "major" selling point of the MU8000 over the MU7000 is a better anti-reflective coating on the screen. Other than that, they're essentially the same TV. Here's a comparison of the two (using the 1000-higher US model numbers):

That isn't true though. The 55" MU7000 has a 120Hz panel just like the MU8000, so will display 24fps content without introducing any judder. The 49" models of both only have 60Hz panels and so won't.
It's also worth noting that the MU7000 has a secondary position for its feet that makes them narrower.

Both the MU7000 and MU8000 are edge-lit, with a single row of LEDs on the bottom of the screen. The MU8000 does not have full-array local dimming, and has the exact same number of vertical column-based dimming zones as the MU7000. None of Samsung's 2017 lineup had FALD, including the flagship Q9F QLED. They were all edge-lit. They reintroduced FALD this year for the Q9FN. The Q8FN is also FALD in the US, though we get an edge-lit version in the UK, sadly.
Make sure your tv stand is wide enough. I would also get the 7000 but the legs are too far apart for my stand.
There it's no such thing as a too big telly!
My pc monitor is 43 inches
just as a sidenote the mu7000 will not play movies without judder from a 24p 60i or 60p source like blu ray player or from apps or cable and satellite boxes.the mu8000 will play any source 24p 60i 60p and apps judder free though.also the mu 7000 has slightly less hdr performance.
For me the 8000 is better due to the central stand as opposed to the feet at each end
Manufacturers spec on their own site would suggest so “Vesa Wall Mount Support: Yes”

I've got the 65 inch and it can be wall mounted so I presume this can be as well
Samsung were a bit sneaky on this one, the smaller versions get poorer panels.
Within the size & budget constraints you can either go for Phillips - hotukdeals.com/dea…731
or occasionally the odd Panasonic EX750B pops up on their ebay store for £500. hotukdeals.com/dea…449
Both of them have 10 bit and 120hz.
Normally price match stays for 28 days. Try it may worth.
Thanks for the info.
Thank you for the reply, I will try and get the MU7000 for the cheaper price.
Thank you both for the info, very much appreciated.
I've got the 75" MU7000 and it plays everything judder free.
The trouble is, nobody has ever gave any dimensions for the feet and how big/small a space it fits on at its minimum. Its as if Samsung has realised this in its later models giving it a much better stand.
both are 40 watt ,
I went for the 55 mu7000 very deal for £560 (after offer code applied), It will be a big step up from my cheap 1080p tv so I'll leave it a few more years for all the HDR tech to settle down before going for a high end premium 4k tv :-)
Where did you buy 55 MU7000 for £560? Is it recently? Cheers
ooops ,i thought this was the 49 inch model duh,(i should have gone to specsavers) lol well spotted and corrected
from very.com, they give you 20% back and its 12 months buy now pay later - think the mu7000 has sold out now though.

I was between the XE8596 and MU8000 - ultimately I decided to go for the XE85 because:
-> Superior anti glare - though lower brightness, better daytime contrast.
-> 120 Hz gaming @ 1080P
I got it for £729, which is a decent price
where did you buy the sony 8596 for 729 ,cheapest i,ve seen is about 758,which is my fallback tv but i want the sony 900e,but still steep at a grand,despite how good it is IMHO
The 8000 wasnt worth it for me, only difference is anti glare and different stand from what ive seen (55" models anyway) i had a strict price i wanted to keep below (£650) and any more than that i decided id rather just get the Sony 900E
local dimming, higher brightness, better viewing angles. those are pretty "major" points (edited)
