For a lot of people, this is still way too high a price.

Well, in my recent experience, you oughta be careful.
In darkened conditions,The Batman(pictured) suffered from poor black uniformity due to the edge-lit panel
The reason for this?
I then decided to put on one of my favorite movies of the past few years,The Batman.
Thats where the problem began.
The Samsung CU8000 does admittedly look punchy in brighter scenes/viewing conditions, as shown here onTop Gun: Maverick(pictured)
Put simply, the movie looked bad.
This is where I established that black uniformity was poor on the CU8000.
Having to concentrate to make out what was going on inThe Batmanwas not a great experience.
The Amazon Omni QLED shows a dark scene fromStar Wars: The Force Awakens(pictured) demonstrating its average black levels
But, sadly it didnt andThe Batmanremained difficult to view.
It was again apparent that the Omni QLED handled contrast and black better than the Samsung CU8000.
Theres nothing wrong with a basic QLED or LED set, if it has the right features.
However, I would almost definitely advise that you avoid edge-lit TVs, especially if youre a movie fan.
back up your money and look elsewhere!
