The Samsung Premium Series TV is represented by the RU8000 model, featuring UHD screen resolution. This model is available in five different screen sizes: 49, 55, 65, 75, and 82 inches.

Key Features of the RU8000 Series

The Samsung RU8000 is part of the Series 8 lineup, which is known for its advanced features, including quantum dot technology. However, there are both pros and cons to consider:

  • Color Depth: The screen has 8-bit color depth, with an FRC (Frame Rate Control) system used to enhance colors. While this improves color reproduction, it doesn’t match the richness of 10-bit screens without FRC, which offer a more vivid display.
  • Sound: Despite being part of the premium series, the RU8000 lacks a dedicated subwoofer. This results in less deep, saturated low-frequency sound. However, if you use external speakers or a soundbar, this isn’t a critical issue.
  • Screen Performance: The 49-inch model supports a maximum refresh rate of 60Hz, while larger models feature 120Hz refresh rates for smoother motion.

Design and Build Quality

The design of the RU8000 follows modern trends, with a focus on a large screen-to-body ratio, leaving minimal bezels around the display. The build quality and plastic materials are of high quality, giving the TV a premium feel. The stand and screen framing may differ across models, but overall, the design is sleek and contemporary.
