AU8000 Crystal UHD 4K HDR Smart TV (2021) - 43" £255.20 / 55" £319.20 / 65" £439.20 via Student Portal @ Samsung

I know this is not a review site.
But this is cheap for a reason.
Bought one as a bedroom tv.
The built in speakers are shocking and the UI is slower than my Nan doing a marathon.
Voted hot though as this is the cheapest I’ve seen this model for. (edited)

Cool.
Defo don’t go from 8500 to 9000, you won’t notice any difference.
As you say, Hold out if you can. 🏻

Which model would you recommend? I'm using the 8500 model but been looking at upgrading to perhaps the 9000 model (see the other deal I just posted)

I think the only real difference you will see with the 9000 is that it will be a little faster. Picture/sound wise will be the same.Read lessRead more

Agree the sound isn’t great, worth using the sound bar to get the bass aswell though works a treat for us (edited)

yup agree the UI is really slow you get what you pay for .. but good enough for a bedroom tv
