Featuring Dynamic Crystal Colour and a Crystal Processor 4K, the Samsung UE55CU8500 brings clarity to everything you watch.

Dynamic Crystal Colour
Whether you're bingeing on a boxset or feasting on a blockbuster, you’ll see everything in crystal clear and lifelike colour on this Samsung 55 inch TV. Dynamic Crystal Colour delivers rich and vibrant images in over one billion shades – 64 times more than conventional UHD TVs.

Object Tracking Sound LITE
Object Tracking Sound Lite chooses which of the TVs front speakers the sound comes through depending on where the action is happening on screen. So you can hear a car fly along your screen or the crowd cheering all around you.

AirSlim with Centre Stand
You don’t just want your TV to look good when it's on - you want it to blend into your room when it's off too. This TV has a slim design with a clean cable solution, so it will look stunning from any angle. It even has the flexibility to work with a wide range of furniture thanks to the centre stand’s small footprint.

Crystal Processor 4K
Think of the processor as the brain of the TV. It works in the background to improve the picture and sound of what you're watching. Simply relax and enjoy the content you love whilst the TV boosts the quality to 4K detail and adjusts the sound depending on what's playing. Streaming movies or watching live sport, you’ll really feel part of the action.

Gaming Hub
Samsung Gaming Hub brings together the biggest console and streaming games from Xbox and other industry-leading partners, all in on one place.* With no downloads, storage limits or console required,** just turn on your TV and play.

*Internet connection, additional gaming service subscription and compatible controller required. Gaming Hub not available in Republic of Ireland.
**Compatible controller required.

Smart TV powered by Tizen
With the best-selling Samsung Smart TV*, it’s never been easier to enjoy TV. Dive into a huge collection of 4K films, TV shows, and all your catch-up TV apps – including Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, NOW TV and BT Sport apps** – all in one place. Not sure what to watch? Samsung’s easy-to-use and customisable Smart Hub platform gives you tailored recommendations.

*Samsung TV has been ranked No.1 selling TV Brand for 16 consecutive years by Omdia.
** Subscriptions required. Some apps may not be available at launch. 3rd party content providers may remove apps from the Smart TV platform or stop updating them at any time.

Multi View
Never miss another moment. With Multi View, you can play your mobile content alongside the TV, all at once, on the same screen. Simply pair your smartphone to your TV with screen mirroring to split the big TV screen *. Handy if you want to keep an eye on the football score whilst watching a movie.

*Mobile mirroring requires internet connection and compatible mobile device.

Adaptive Sound
Whether you're watching dialogue, sports, the news or the latest blockbuster - your audio needs are different. Adaptive Sound recognises the content on screen and adjusts the sound to what you're watching. Whether the director’s intent is to make you feel like part of the crowd or centre stage, the TV will be sure to fulfil.

HDR powered by HDR10+
HDR - or High Dynamic Range – opens up previously hidden depth and detail in the lightest and darkest scenes. HDR is the range from the lightest to the darkest areas of the picture, and the wider the range the more lifelike the image. HDR10+ takes this to the next level by adjusting the HDR range scene-by-scene for a more lifelike viewing experience.

Upgrade to a TV with a clearer blend of vision, sound and Smart tech, with the Samsung UE55CU8500.

Please note, this Smart TV features third party Apps. These Apps may be modified or withdrawn at any time. There may also be a delay in launching some of the featured Apps. Catch-up TV Apps may vary by region. The function and availability of apps is not covered by the manufacturer’s or Richer Sounds’ guarantee.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Happy with the picture, but unable to 'pause' Very happy with the picture (though I am no expert), but was unhappy that I was unable to 'pause' live tv. I contacted Samsung who said that this feature was unavailable on this model. Thankfully , Richer Sounds allowed me to return this model and I got the qled version which had this facility.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Samsung UE65CU8500 - Fantastic Deal & Service Called Richer Sounds Stockport on Sunday (I have purchased from there previously) i asked what deals they had on TVs in my price range and they came up with this - a fully loaded UHD TV with a 6-year warranty! I paid over the phone (very easy) I then organised a delivery date, Tuesday (which they stuck to) they even gave me a 3-hour time slot and rang me to confirm, 1 hour before they turned up. On arrival, they carried the 65" TV upstairs and put it in my bedroom ready for me to install. The whole process was a pleasure, which is why I tell everybody I speak to, to use these guys, no fuss, no messing, just great deals and even better service Richer Sounds in Stockport - one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Poor picture quality. I have a lg43 uj670v which is 6 years old,because of the age and it now being out of guarantee we decided to buy a new tv.Because of lg,s software problems and the time it took them to sort we decided not to buy another lg but decided on Samsung,we settled on a Samsung a ue43cu8500. Tv delivered by courier,fairly straightforward to set up but extremely poor picture quality compatible our old lg.Tried all the diff picture settings but could do nothing to improve the picture so visited richer sounds In Maidstone ,dealt with Jason who agreed to swap it for a lg43ur91006la. Tv delivered same bad picture quality,tried every available picture setting,stil the same.What have I got to spend to get a picture quality tv to match our old lg tv?No problem with richer sounds service but would have thought that a new tv should at least match the picture quality of a 6 year old set.
