Not so long ago, Samsung was the most reliable brand in the cheap and cheerful LCD TV world. That reputation has been hit over the last couple of years, though, by the twin assault of a sudden fall in the standards of Samsung’s entry-level (as in, non-QLED) LCD TVs and the start of what’s shaping up to be an ongoing assault by fast-improving price-focused TV brands such as Hisense and TCL.
By offering such long-running Samsung attractions as the brand’s Crystal Processor, Dynamic Crystal Colour system and Tizen smart engine for just £379 / $350 / AU$899, though, the 43-inch CU8000 is looking to put Samsung back in the serious budget TV game.
