Accepted Answer

Samsung 85-inch Crystal UHD 4K-85DU8000 is available from 2 stores including Incredible Connection and HiFi Corp.

Question 3

Is the Samsung 85DU8000 a smart TV, and which apps and operating system does it run?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 85DU8000 is a full smart TV running Samsung's Tizen OS, so it connects to Wi-Fi out of the box and streams Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube and Showmax directly. Tizen also includes Samsung Gaming Hub, which lets you stream cloud games (e.g. Xbox Game Pass) without a console. Reviewers note Tizen is app-rich but can feel a little slower than Google TV or LG webOS on this entry-level model. It also supports voice control via built-in Alexa and Bixby.

Question 4

Is the 85DU8000 good for gaming on a PS5 or Xbox Series X (120Hz, VRR)?

Accepted Answer

Good news for the 85-inch specifically: unlike the smaller DU8000 sizes (which are 60Hz with no VRR), the 85DU8000 has a native 120Hz panel and DOES support 4K 120Hz, VRR, AMD FreeSync Premium and HGiG over its HDMI ports. It also has a low-latency Game Mode with ALLM and very low measured input lag (around 9-10ms), plus cloud gaming via Gaming Hub. So it handles PS5 and Xbox Series X 120Hz/VRR titles well; it is not a premium QLED, so HDR brightness is modest, but for high-refresh gaming this 85-inch model punches above the rest of its series.

Question 5

Which HDR formats does the 85DU8000 support — does it have Dolby Vision?

Accepted Answer

The 85DU8000 supports HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG. Like all Samsung TVs, it does NOT support Dolby Vision — Samsung backs the rival HDR10+ format instead. In practice most 4K HDR streaming (Netflix, Prime Video) and HDR10+ titles will display correctly; Dolby Vision content simply falls back to standard HDR10, so you won't see Dolby Vision's scene-by-scene tone mapping. As a budget Crystal UHD (Direct-LED, no Mini-LED local dimming) it's also less bright than premium QLED sets, so HDR impact is modest.

Question 6

How do I connect a soundbar, and what VESA wall mount fits the 85-inch DU8000?

Accepted Answer

Connect a soundbar via the HDMI eARC/ARC port (one of the 3 HDMI inputs) for single-cable audio and TV-remote volume control; optical out also works. Samsung's Q-Symphony lets a compatible Samsung soundbar play alongside the TV's own 20W 2.0-channel speakers (with Object Tracking Sound Lite). Note the built-in speakers don't decode Dolby Atmos, so a soundbar is worth it on an 85-inch set. For wall mounting, the 85DU8000 uses a 600x400mm VESA pattern and weighs roughly 41.5kg, so use a rated heavy-duty large-screen bracket.
