Samsung U8000F UN85U8000FFXZA 85"

★★★★☆ 4.3 (5,681)

The 85-inch panel uses a Crystal Processor 4K for effective upscaling of lower-resolution content and a MetalStream Design that provides a sleek, slim-bezel look uncommon at this size. Motion Xcelerator delivers smooth 60Hz performance for sports and gaming, while the Tizen platform integrates seamlessly with SmartThings and Knox Security for a protected smart home hub. This TV is best for smart home enthusiasts and streamers wanting a massive, design-forward screen for mixed everyday use without a premium price.
